Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb has ordered the deployment of 50 Indiana National Guard troops to Texas to assist efforts led by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to block illegal border crossings from Mexico.
“I am sending 50 #Hoosier Guardsmen to the southern border to support the Texas National Guard on their security mission,” Mr. Holcomb wrote in a social media post on Friday morning. “These soldiers will begin mobilizing for the mission immediately and will arrive in Texas in mid-March.”
