Montgomery, Ala. (WDNews) – Alabama Governor Kay Ivey announced Thursday that an additional 125 Alabama National Guard soldiers are being deployed to the U.S. Southern Border. This brings Alabama’s commitment to over 500 soldiers, along with equipment, in an effort to support border security efforts.
Gov. Ivey emphasized her concerns regarding the Biden-Harris Administration’s handling of border security over the past four years, stating that it has not been a priority and has had “devastating consequences” for states across the nation.
“Alabama will continue doing all we can to support the mission of securing our Border,” Ivey said, acknowledging the service and sacrifices made by the soldiers and their families.
