The Trump administration has directed two intelligence agencies to focus satellite surveillance on the US-Mexico border to combat illegal immigration and drug cartels, as part of a national emergency declaration by President Donald Trump.
Military involvement at the southern border reflects an increase in militarization, with military capabilities traditionally used overseas being employed for this initiative.

A spokesperson for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence stated that all intelligence activities are 'legal and authorized' and protect civil liberties and privacy of US persons.
