Maine, Border Patrol

U.S. border patrol officials in Northern Maine say they have installed new concrete barriers in the Houlton sector after seeing a significant increase in vehicle incursions in the last two years.
The change aligns with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol policy, which does not allow hikers to enter the United States on the trail.
Authorities have not revealed many details, but law enforcement officers were spotted escorting an ambulance from the scene.
Changes to hiring and retention practices grew the department by 19,000 people in four years. But former officials warn that's still not enough for Trump's ambitious policy goals.
