Guard Troops: Trump Request and Border States

guard troops: About 100 of the 360 troops will remain deployed under California's agreement with the federal government to focus specifically on combating transnational crime such as drug and gun smuggling, Newsom spokesman Nathan Click said, according to CTV. Specifically, they will be tasked with providing intelligence on transnational crime and assist with cargo dock operations and searches of commercial trucks for contraband. Gavin Newsom plans Monday to withdraw several hundred National Guard troops from the state's southern border with Mexico in defiance of the Trump administration's request for support from border states. Newsom's move comes on the heels of New Mexico Gov. The two state's former governors agreed to send troops to the border last April at the Trump administration's request along with Texas and Arizona.
