Governor Mike DeWine is sending more resources to the U.S. southern border to help Texas with security.
A press release said the governor s office is sending 14 Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers and supervisors to Texas for a two-week assignment. DeWine s office provided few details but said the patrol team will not be making arrests.
Last week DeWine approved the deployment of 185 Ohio Army National Guard members to the southern border following requests for help from Texas Governor Greg Abbot.
Abbot has asked other states for help with security amid what he s called an invasion of undocumented immigrants crossing the border. Democrats have called Abbot s response an overreaction and political theater that could increase the chances of violence against immigrants.
