The U.S. military has created a second military zone along the border with Mexico, adding an area in Texas where troops can temporarily detain migrants or trespassers after doing the same in New Mexico.

The newly declared "Texas National Defense Area" spans 63 miles east of El Paso along the Texas-New Mexico border, following a similar 170-mile-long zone created in New Mexico last month.
