Oregon Governor Sets Up Showdown, Won’t Send National Guard To The Border

President Donald Trump announced yesterday that he is drafting plans to send U.S. National Guard troops to assist U.S. Border Patrol units in the event mass numbers of illegal immigrants threaten to cross the United States’ southern border.

But at least one Democratic governor, Oregon’s Gov. Kate Brown, says that as commander of her state’s National Guard unit, she will resist the president’s order because she doesn’t believe in having a “militarized” border. Brown took to Twitter late Wednesday to set up a showdown with the president.
