Mike Braun Releases Statement Regarding The Indiana National Guard Being Deployed To The Southern Border

Jasper, IN – Today, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb announced that he is sending the Indiana National Guard to our Southern Border, and Mike Braun released the following statement:

“I strongly support this decision to send our national guard to the southern border, as every day, there is a new record of illegal crossings, and they are bringing narcotics, fentanyl, and sex trafficking young girls, which ends up in Indiana.  As Governor, I will work with Donald Trump and be his strongest ally in the country to secure our southern border.”
