Republican Governors Rally at U.S.-Mexico Border Amid Immigration Standoff

Governor Jim Pillen and Major General Craig Strong of the Nebraska National Guard will travel to Texas to receive a security update on the U.S.-Mexico border and assess additional resources Nebraska can offer to stop the flow of illegal drugs and end the humanitarian crisis. Last year, Nebraska deployed drone operators and National Guard members to assist with surveillance operations and conducted operations alongside Texas authorities to detain those illegally crossing the border.

Nebraska and Oklahoma National Guard troops deployed to Texas border for security mission

Governor Jim Pillen of Nebraska is sending over 60 Nebraska Army National Guard soldiers to the Texas border as part of "Operation Lone Star" initiated by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The soldiers will assist in security and law enforcement efforts to combat the influx of illegal drugs, weapons, and criminals. This deployment follows a May security briefing where Abbott invited Pillen and other Republican governors, including Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, who pledged support from her state. The costs for this deployment will be covered by federal funds directed through the Nebraska National Guard.
