Gavin Newsom Doubles National Guard Troops at California Border
Story by Kaitlin Lewis • 10h


California Governor Gavin Newsom has more than doubled the number of National Guard troops along his state's southern border with Mexico in efforts to crack down on "deadly drugs."

In a news release Thursday, Newsom's office said that California's National Guard County Drug Task Force operations have been boosted from 155 service members to nearly 400. The move comes as state and federal officials grapple with a spike in border encounters in recent years. The rise in opioid use and overdoses in the U.S. has also been linked to drug smuggling across the southern border.
 
"Our top priority is the safety of our communities statewide," Newsom said in the release. "By working with state, local, and federal partners to take down transnational organizations and the illegal drugs they attempt to bring into our state, the state's Counter Drug Taskforce is making a profound difference to hold smugglers accountable and take deadly drugs off our streets."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

As we have already seen from our beloved president, such pronouncements are absolutely meaningless without the authority to actually enforce the law. :nono:
