The Justice Department is bringing a new tool to the border fight, charging the first set of illegal immigrants with entering a restricted military zone in southern New Mexico.

Ryan Ellison, the U.S. attorney in New Mexico, said Thursday that his office has filed 82 new cases against migrants who crossed illegally into the newly designated National Defense Area.

They can face up to a year in prison, which is double the penalty for illegal entry, the usual charge under immigration law, known as Title 8. The new charges are being brought under Title 50, which governs defense matters.
