Governor Doug Burgum is planning to deploy approximately 100 North Dakota National Guard members to help secure the southern border in support of Operation Lone Star.
The announcement comes in response to a request made by Texas Governor Greg Abbott in asking for states to send available resources to combat illegal activity at the border.
Burgum says the threat in national security grows every day that the Biden administration “abdicates the responsibility of the federal government” to secure our borders.
The planned deployment is expected to last approximately 30 days and take place this coming fall. Currently about 125 members from the North Dakota National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 112th Aviation Regiment are aiding efforts to secure the southern border.
