"Louisiana Governor Sends 150 National Guard Troops to Southern Border Amid Immigration Surge"

Louisiana plans to deploy 150 National Guard troops to the southern border in Texas in response to the surge in illegal immigration, with Gov. Jeff Landry criticizing the federal government's inaction on border security. The troops, if approved by the state's Legislature, would not have authority to detain migrants and would cost an estimated $3 million. This move follows Florida's deployment of 1,000 National Guard members to the border, as Texas Gov. Abbott continues to battle the Biden administration over immigration measures.
