Mike Parson’s decision to send National Guard personnel and Missouri State Highway Patrol resources to Texas to work on border security measures there has support from GOP lawmakers in Missouri and the three leading... Parson announced Tuesday that up to 200 National Guard units would head to Texas to work under Operation Lone Star, starting next month for the next ninety days, primarily to work on building border... It was still unclear Wednesday where the National Guard contingent would come from, either in the form of a single unit or if it would be a collection of personnel from around the state. Roughly 250 Guard members are already serving in Texas under a separate federal call-up. Eleven State Highway Patrol troopers who have volunteered will head south and be paired with Texas State Troopers working on calls near the border. A total of 22 troopers will be part of the deployment.

According to the Highway Patrol, the first eleven volunteers are spread among seven of the agency’s nine troops along with the Patrol’s General Headquarters and the Division of Drug and Crime Control. “This will be a separate mission,” Parson said, when asked about the two competing border efforts. “This is in addition.” JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Tuesday announced he is sending up to 200 Missouri National Guard members and 22 State Highway Patrol troopers to the Texas border with Mexico.

The Republican governor made the announcement at a news conference in Jefferson City in which he blamed President Joe Biden’s administration for its handling of immigration at the southern border and tied illegal immigration... “It all stems from the Biden administration’s reckless, irresponsible and failing open-border policies,” Parson said. “With our southern border wide open, every state is now a border state.” Parson’s executive order sends Missouri law enforcement officers to help Texas, which has promoted a plan dubbed “Operation Lone Star” that uses Texas state resources to combat illegal border crossings. The move from Parson is noteworthy, as roughly 250 Missouri National Guard members are already deployed to the southern border to work with the Biden administration’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency.

Sending Missouri state troopers and National Guard soldiers to Texas's border with Mexico will cost more than $2.2 million, state officials told the House Budget Committee on Monday. Gov. Mike Parson is sending 200 soldiers and 11 Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers to work with Texas law enforcement at the request of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. There are about 250 National Guard soldiers already in Texas operating under federal orders, Maj. Gen.

Levon Compton told the House Budget Committee. The operational commands will be separate but the goal is the same, he said. "I have high confidence that the goal to secure the border is one that's shared," Compton said. The hearing Monday was the first formal public hearing on an appropriations bill this year. The $2.2 million covers anticipated expenses through June 30, when the fiscal year ends.

He asked for the money to avoid dipping into emergency funds allocated for disasters or other events within the state.

Hoskins wanted to know the living arrangements for the deployed personnel and what $91,000 set aside for vehicle purchases was buying.
