Yesterday, the U.S. government imposed a 17% tariff on most fresh Mexican tomatoes to boost domestic production — American growers support the move while critics warn that the duty may raise prices for consumers as Mexico now supplies about 70% of U.S. tomatoes.

The U.S. Marine Corps confirmed Monday that Marines and sailors took control of a portion of the southern border in Yuma as part of a new National Defense Area— they will work with Customs and Border Protection and Border Patrol to help reduce migrant crossings and secure the border.
