Secretary Noem said daily apprehensions at the border dropped by 95% last year.

Nome then introduced the next step, water barriers, similar to those employed last year in Texas, which will stretch for 500 miles.

The secretary also highlighted the anticipated effect of the new equipment.

The barriers were paid for by funds provided in the One Big Beautiful Bill, which was passed by Congress last year.
