Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., was deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border this week with members of his National Guard unit.
Kinzinger, who is a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, will remain in the U.S. for this mission as he has done with prior operations at the border while serving as an elected member of Congress, according to his office.
“The Congressman is humbled to serve his IL-16 community here in the People’s House and equally proud to serve as a reconnaissance pilot in the Air National Guard,†Maura Gillespie, Kinzinger’s communications director, said in a statement. “In both of these roles, Congressman Kinzinger fights to make our national security stronger, our border more secure, and our communities safer.â€
Kinzinger’s office will remain open while he is deployed.
