AZ Sends 225 National Guard Troops to Border; Backs Trump's Security Mission on Mex. Border

Arizona is deploying 225 National Guard troops to support President Donald Trump's security mission along the U.S.-Mexican border, the ABC News website reports today (April 9, 2018).

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey was present to send them off today.

"Guardsmen will be sent to the border to provide mission-enhancing capabilities that will help U.S. Customs and Border Protection increase operational control of the region," an Arizona National Guard press release said.

"The Guard will provide air support, reconnaissance support, operational support, construction of border infrastructure, and logistical support," the press release added.
