Governor Sanders Sends Guardsmen to Southern Border
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has directed the Arkansas National Guard to send approximately 40 Guardsmen to south Texas to support border control efforts along the U.S. border with Mexico.
Arkansas troops will be sent to El Paso, Texas, and will man security points and conduct patrols along the border, according to Maj. Cibeles Ramirez-Rodriguez, state public affairs officer for the Arkansas National Guard.
"President Biden opened our southern border to an invasion of illegal immigrants, drugs, and human trafficking and is now criticizing Texas for stepping up where his administration has failed. I've seen the crisis our president created firsthand, and I know the incredible men and women of the Arkansas Guard can help supplement Texas' efforts to keep our border secure and our states safe." - Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders
