Gov. Gavin Newsom's proposed strategy at the California-Mexico border includes deploying the National Guard for southbound inspections, addressing cross-border crime with a focus on American-made weapons.
Over 21,000 firearms, primarily U.S.-made, were seized in Mexico from 2016 to 2022, highlighting the urgent necessity for California to curb illegal arms flow southward.
CalGuard General Beevers emphasized the need for better coordination among law enforcement agencies to effectively interdict illicit guns and money being trafficked into Mexico.
The deployment of troops at the border has grown from 155 to nearly 400 in California, reflecting an escalated response to combat drug trafficking and arms smuggling.
