Residents Adapt as Military Eyes Roosevelt Reservation

View descriptionShare

Today, we take you to the edge of the U.S.-Mexico border in Cochise County, where life looks very different for residents living along the Roosevelt Reservation, a 60-foot strip of federally controlled land established in 1907. In Naco, 90-year-old Rose Peacock has lived for decades just steps from the towering border wall, watching both the landscape and politics change dramatically. Now, new military plans are bringing temporary Army installations to parts of the reservation, raising questions for those whose homes sit just feet from the fence. While federal officials say private property rights remain intact, residents like Peacock face the daily realities of broken fences, migrant crossings, and a constantly shifting border.
