PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ORDERED NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO THE U-S BORDER WITH MEXICO … AND THAT COULD AFFECT LAW ENFORCEMENT IN NEW MEXICO. A HIGH-RANKING OFFICIAL TELLS KOB TV THAT THE GUARD EXPECTS 20 TO 30 VOLUNTEERS TO TRAVEL TO THE BORDER IN NEW MEXICO. BUT SENDING THE NATIONAL GUARD TO PATROL THE BORDER COULD PULL RESOURCES AWAY FROM NEW MEXICO LOCATIONS.
MANY POLICE OFFICERS … 64 … ARE ENLISTED IN THE GUARD ACCORDING TO STATE POLICE CHIEF PETE KASSETAS. AGENCIES ACROSS THE STATE ARE ALREADY DEALING WITH BEING SHORT STAFFED.
