Resolution Making PA’s National Guard Available to Texas
Details
Senator Doug Mastriano is circulating a co-sponsorship memo for a: “Resolution Calling on Governor Shapiro to offer the Services of the Pennsylvania National Guard in Support of Operation Lone Star”. The co-sponsorship memo notes: “Texas Gov. Greg Abbott initiated Operation Lone Star in March 2021 in response to the unprecedented rise in illegal immigration. Operation Lone Star personnel work to detect and repel illegal crossings, arrest human smugglers and cartel gang members, and stop the flow of deadly drugs like fentanyl.
In May 2023, Abbott sent letters to all US governors requesting support for Operation Lone Star. So far, 14 states – Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Idaho, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming – have responded and deployed personnel and resources to secure the border.”
