Former President Donald Trump posted to his Truth Social account that he is encouraging all “willing states to deploy their [national guard] to Texas to prevent to entry” of illegal immigrants.
Trump made the call to do so after Texas Gov. Gregg Abbot declared an invasion and invoked Texas’ right to “self-defense” in the First Article of the Constitution. At least 14 states have signaled supporting Texas in its efforts.

“I will work hand in hand with Governor Abbott and other Border States to Stop the Invasion, Seal the Border, and Rapidly begin the Largest Domestic Deportation Operation in History.”
