Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has announced the deployment of 40 Guardsmen from the Arkansas National Guard to support Texas National Guard efforts at the U.S.-Mexico border. The troops will be under the jurisdiction of Gov. Sanders, with Texas National Guard leading the operation.
This deployment marks Arkansas' continued support for Texas in addressing illegal immigration issues. Last year, Arkansas deployed approximately 80 Guardsmen to the border, followed by another 40 in the summer of 2021.
