Operation Hold the Line was a preventative measure taken by the US Border Patrol initiated on September 19, 1993. Originally the operation was named Operation Blockade. The location of the operation was on the United States-Mexico border in El Paso, Texas.
A similar operation called Operation Gatekeeper, was also taking place in the San Diego sector. Silvestre Reyes, who was the head of the El Paso Border Control at the time, ordered his officers to form a human and vehicle blockade along the border. There were four hundred agents and vehicles every 100 yards from one side of El Paso to the other, in order to prevent illegal immigration. Similar blockade attempts had been experimented with before. Unlike the previous attempts, however, Reyes’ blockade stayed in place until the Immigration and Naturalization Service saw the success it was having and permanently funded it.
Operation Hold the Line was the first operation of its kind and represented a shift in ideology in policing illegal immigration. Previous policies focused on finding and deporting illegal immigrants who had already crossed the border. Operation Hold the Line instead focused on intercepting and preventing illegal entries at the border.
