Border Patrol Access to Wilderness for Border Security.
New rules allow U.S. Customs and Border Protection to operate in protected wilderness areas to secure international land borders. This means citizens might see more vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure in these areas, aiming to enhance national security while also requiring protection of the natural environment.
Key points
Border Protection can use vehicles, motorboats, and aircraft in wilderness areas.
Construction and maintenance of roads and physical barriers are permitted in these areas.
