"Texas Governor Mobilizes National Guard to Address Border Crisis in Eagle Pass"
TL;DR
Louisiana's GOP governor, Jeff Landry, plans to deploy approximately 150 National Guard members to the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, citing the federal government's failure to address the immigration crisis. The deployment, estimated to cost $3 million, would require approval from the state's GOP-dominated Legislature. Despite not sharing a border with Mexico, Landry has been vocal about illegal immigration and previously issued an executive order to collect data on migrants in Louisiana.
