"Governor Noem Faces Tribal Ban Over Border Comments"

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem warns of a potential civil war if President Biden federalizes Texas National Guard troops amid a standoff over the deployment of troops to the southern border. Noem's comments come as Republican governors, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott, defy a Supreme Court ruling by deploying National Guard troops to block the removal of razor wire intended to deter migrants. The dispute has escalated, with over a dozen states sending National Guard troops to the border, and Democrats urging Biden to federalize the units. Noem, a potential VP pick for Trump, accuses Democrats of encouraging Biden to infringe on states' rights and claims that paying soldiers to stand down would be unprecedented in American history.
