In a show of solidarity with Texas’s efforts to bolster border security, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has thrown his support behind the state’s border plan, leading to the deployment of Louisiana National Guard members to the Texas border region.
The Louisiana National Guard has dispatched more than four-dozen troops to Texas as part of Operation Lone Star, marking the first of three planned rotations. This move comes following Governor Landry’s commitment to supporting Texas’s border security initiatives, which have garnered support from a total of 13 Republican governors.
The deployed squadron hails from Shreveport, a city situated near the Texas border, highlighting Louisiana’s strategic contribution to the border security operation. The troops are expected to play a crucial role in enhancing surveillance and deterring illegal border crossings in collaboration with Texas authorities.
Operation Lone Star, spearheaded by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, aims to fortify the state’s border with additional resources and personnel. One notable aspect of the plan includes the installation of miles of razor wire to enhance physical barriers and prevent unauthorized entry.
Governor Landry’s decision to back Texas’s border security plan underscores the cooperative efforts among Republican-led states to address border challenges and uphold national security interests. The deployment of Louisiana National Guard members reflects a proactive approach to supporting neighboring states and strengthening border enforcement measures.
As the situation along the southern border remains a focal point of national debate, Governor Landry’s support for Texas’s border plan signals a united front among states committed to addressing border security issues and protecting their communities.
