Virginia Gov. Youngkin has ordered 100 National Guard troops to the southern border to help interdict drug and human trafficking at Texas Gov. Abbott’s request.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin speaks at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on May 1 in Simi Valley, Calif.Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Wednesday ordered 100 National Guard troops to the southern border to help interdict drug and human trafficking at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s request.
In a statement Wednesday, Youngkin announced that he signed an executive directive to send troops to the border to support Abbott’s Operation Lone Star. In March, Abbott asked other Republican governors to send troops to the southern border through an Emergency Management Assistance Compact, which allows states to send resources in times of disaster or crisis.
“The ongoing border crisis facing our nation has turned every state into a border state,” Youngkin said. “As leadership solutions at the federal level fall short, states are answering the call to secure our southern border, reduce the flow of fentanyl, combat human trafficking and address the humanitarian crisis.”
