Gov. Lee Authorizes Tennessee National Guard Deployment to Secure U.S. Southern Border

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has authorized the deployment of 100 Tennessee National Guard troops to secure the U.S. Southern border. This comes after Texas Governor Greg Abbott invited states to support ‘Operation Lone Star’ following the end of Title 42. The Tennessee National Guard members will deploy at the end of May to patrol and provide additional security presence along the border, clear roads, replace barriers and remove debris.
