Texas just threw down the gauntlet.

He’s the only one showing it and so far I haven’t run across an official announcement from Holcomb so I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.

I saw one other post it but no statement from Holcomb yet.

Goes to show yet again NG isn't the militia spoken of by the founders.

Hasn't been since we've been used and deployed in foriegn wars for years .

The current official National Guard organization, set up in WWI time frame, always was primarily a federal reserve force, with the option to be used by the state when the feds aren’t busy with it. I suspect that’s one reason Texas, like several other states, also set up a separate State Guard, but the ”armed response” part of that has weathered over the years. Should probably change that.

The President can call up and deploy the NG regardless of the Governor’s wishes - that was settled by the supreme court decades ago - but I don’t know what happens if the National Guard has already been deployed on state doing duty.

This is all show. I do not believe any of them are truly committed to stopping the flow of migrants.

Indiana is in. 25 States have now signed up in support of Texas. This is going to get real interesting, real fast.

This is good to see, except for one thing...

...to get to Texas, we'll have to go through Kentucky or Illinois.

I still haven't seen anything from Halcomb.

Looks like a list of my vacation states.

Makes sense. I moved to Indiana from Illinois due to politics. (And given what Illinois has done in the last year, I got out just in time!) People are more likely to move to places where they feel welcome than to places where they feel prosecuted.

I moved here from Illinois also in 2014
Spent the first 50 years of my life in Illinois and the best 10 (so far) in Indiana

When someone actually has a real report of Halcomb saying he backs Governor Abbott and Texas post it. Until then it's rumors.

Of course he couldn’t be a leader. He had to wait until loys of his buddies went first.

He’s like the dude at the range that has no idea what he’s doing so he has to watch what others are doing and mimic them.

The Capital Chronicle broke the story? Well they were covering the HB 1084 hearing the other day. I recognized the REALLY young reporter from a hearing last year.

U.S. Sen. Mike Braun said “under Joe Biden’s disastrous administration, every state is a border state. Governors around the country are standing with @GovAbbott – as your Governor, I would leave no doubt that we stand with Texas to keep Hoosiers safe from Biden’s broken border.”

Braun for Governor.
