Tennessee National Guard deploying to southern border as Biden admin 'fails to act,' GOP gov says
[FoxNews] 50 Tennessee National Guard members initially heading to southern border. Tennessee is deploying National Guard members to the southern border as Republican governors continue to support Texas in its showdown with the Biden administration over immigration enforcement. Gov. Bill Lee, who visited the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas, earlier this month, met with Tennessee National Guard members at Millington Tennessee Army National Guard Armory ahead of their voluntary deployment. "As America faces the most severe border crisis in decades, TN is showing the rest of the country what it means to lead," the Tennessee governor posted on X. "Today, I joined TN National Guard members who will soon deploy on a voluntary mission to secure the Southern border as the federal government fails to act." The initial deployment will consist of 50 members and last through March before a second wave replaces them later in the spring. It was unclear where exactly they would be sent.
