In a surprising announcement, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed that the entire U.S.-Mexico border wall will be painted black at President Trump's request to deter illegal crossings. This move includes enhancements in technology and surveillance.
As of August 10, 2025, a staggering 26,555 people have crossed the English Channel in small boats, marking a record high. The UK government faces pressure to address illegal crossings as new figures are expected to push the total past 50,000 since last year's election.
In a bold move, President Trump has authorized the military to take control of public land along the southern border, citing ongoing threats. The order aims to build a border wall and enhance security measures.
