They’re not playing around now.

The Mexican government is showing signs of increased illegal immigration enforcement and cooperation with their U.S. counterparts following President Donald Trump’s tariff threats.
Around 200 Mexican law enforcement officials blocked a U.S.-bound caravan Wednesday. The caravan, made up of about 1,000 Central American migrants, was heading north on a highway near the town of Metapa. Mexican police and immigration agents even went so far as to wrestle some of the migrants to the ground when they refused to comply.
The incident was the latest in Mexico’s recent efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
The first annual U.S.-Mexico Anti-Transnational Criminal Organization and Border Violence Prevention Initiative was launched Tuesday. The program aims to increase cooperation between the two countries regarding immigration and crime enforcement. U.S. officials have already begun training Mexican agents on how to better police their shared border.
“They conduct river sweeps with us along the river, checking stash houses, setting up checkpoints, all that,” Agent Javier Rodriguez, Border Patrol assistant chief for Foreign Operations Branch, RGV Sector, said at the program’s launch. “Field training, tactical tracking, room entry, close border combat, going into rooms, police tactics.”
