Guard troops:

More states are recalling forces from the border.

Three states have recalled National Guard troops and assets, such as helicopters, from the U.S.-Mexico border in response to President Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance policy that separated parents from their children.

At least seven other states have committed to not send National Guard troops to the border to assist in separating families.

But the impact on the Guard’s operations at the Arizona-Mexico border so far appears minimal.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam recalled four National Guard troops and a UH-72 Lakota helicopter, affecting the Arizona National Guard’s operations to assist U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Operation Guardian Support.

Virginia’s recall will reduce the number of National Guard troops in Arizona from 412 to 408.

Troops from Maryland’s and North Carolina’s National Guards were recalled from operations in New Mexico and Texas, respectively.

As of Tuesday, only two other states had provided National Guard soldiers to Arizona.

Indiana and Missouri each sent four troops, yet with 400 of Arizona’s own National Guard troops in the state, recalls of personnel from those two states will affect only a fraction of efforts in Arizona. And neither the governor of Indiana nor the governor of Missouri has given any hint that they plan to recall them.

Though Trump signed a policy Wednesday that continues to uphold his zero-tolerance policy while no longer separating families, none of the governors who has committed to recall or to not send their National Guard troops have reversed their decisions and are keeping their troops in Operation Guardian Support.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who had recalled four National Guard personnel from New Mexico on Tuesday, remarked Wednesday on Twitter that he was “pleased” that Trump appeared to be reversing the policy.

Trump called for National Guard troops to be deployed to the United States’ southern border in April as a response to a migrant caravan of asylum seekers.

The Virginia National Guard soldiers and UH-72 Lakota helicopter departed for Arizona on June 4 and had been providing aerial detection and monitoring support for the Arizona National Guard.

At least 10 states have challenged sending troops to the U.S. southern border.

Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia have recalled a total of 11 troops and two helicopters from participation in Operation Guardian Support.

Governors from the states of Colorado, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Oregon also issued statements to not send troops or assets to the border to participate in the separation of families.

While none of these governors had yet announced a deployment of state National Guard troops following Trump’s new executive order to no longer separate families, Delaware Gov. John Carney said Tuesday that his state would be the “first in line” to assist with securing the border if the child separations were stopped.

“We are fortunate to have the support of many governors who care about national security, preventing entry of gang members, illegal drugs, and protecting the American worker,” said Katie Waldman, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman.

CBP has also credited Operation Guardian Support with 7,306 arrests and 2,264 turnbacks as of Wednesday.
