The US states of Texas and Arizona have announced plans to send reserve troops to the border with Mexico after President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of thousands of soldiers to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
The Texas National Guard said on Friday it would send 250 troops to the border within 72 hours, while Arizona's governor said he would send 150 soldiers next week.
Every US state has a National Guard unit, which consists of several thousand reserve forces under mixed state and federal control since 1933.
"The Texas national guard is preparing to immediately deploy with supporting aircraft, vehicles and equipment to the Texas-Mexico border."
