U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin toured the southern border in Brownsville, Texas, marking his first visit to the border as Secretary. During the visit, Mullin inspected the border wall, visited Camp Monument, toured an autonomous surveillance tower, and met with U.S. Coast Guard personnel and Border Patrol agents from the Rio Grande Valley Sector. CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott and Border Patrol Chief Rosario Vasquez accompanied him. Mullin highlighted achievements including 15 months of zero illegal alien releases and historically low crossings. The visit also included an assessment of waterborne buoys installed in the Rio Grande River to deter illegal crossings. Approximately 9.5 miles of a 17-mile buoy barrier project were deployed, with remaining sections planned for completion.
