Note to the Press – House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers) issued the following statement in response to Gov. Eric Holcomb's decision to deploy the Indiana National Guard to support the ongoing border security mission in Texas. Following the recent direct request from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Holcomb announced he will send 50 Hoosier guardsman to help the Texas National Guard during a 10-month deployment:
STATEHOUSE (Feb. 9, 2024) – "The crisis at our nation's southern border is a direct result of failed and rudderless leadership in Washington, D.C. I fully support Governor Holcomb's decision to send members of our state's committed and hardworking National Guard to support Texas and their efforts to stop the wave of illegal immigration and drugs into their state and ultimately to the rest of our country. The men and women in our guard are always ready to answer the call of duty, and I'm proud that Indiana is among the states to stand up against the Biden Administration's dangerous and open border policies."
