(The Hill) — Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) this week asked the Trump administration to deploy National Guard troops to the Pelican State.
Landry in a press release said he submitted a request for federal assistance to the Defense Department, calling for up to 1,000 Louisiana National Guard personnel to be activated.
“Since taking office, we have made real progress in driving down crime across Louisiana — but the job is far from finished,” the governor wrote in the release.
“Federal partnerships in our toughest cities have worked, and now, with the support of President Trump and Secretary Hegseth, we are taking the next step by bringing in the National Guard,” he added. “This mission is about saving lives and protecting families.”
