DHS asks for 1,000 more National Guard troops at southern border

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is asking for 1,000 additional Texas National Guard troops "to provide supplemental holding and port of entry enforcement support" to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the state, the Department of Defense told The Hill on Monday.

The Pentagon has not yet approved the request, which was made last week.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has agreed to the use of the National Guard to assist CBP at the border, said Maj. Chris Mitchell, a Pentagon spokesperson.
