Wisconsin governor issues order pulling National Guard troops from border, citing no 'crisis'

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) on Monday issued an executive order withdrawing the state's National Guard troops from the southern border.

Evers said in a tweet that there is not evidence of a crisis at the border and there is thus "no justification" for having troops there.

"There is simply not ample evidence to support the president’s contention of a national security crisis at our southwestern border. Therefore, there is no justification for the ongoing presence of Wisconsin National Guard personnel at the border," Evers said.
