Wisconsin governor issues order pulling National Guard troops from border, citing no 'crisis' [View all]

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) on Monday issued an executive order withdrawing the state's National Guard troops from the southern border.

Evers said in a tweet that there is not evidence of a crisis at the border and there is thus "no justification" for having troops there.

"There is simply not ample evidence to support the president’s contention of a national security crisis at our southwestern border. Therefore, there is no justification for the ongoing presence of Wisconsin National Guard personnel at the border," Evers said.
