Texas National Guard Used To Protect Private Property

Roughly 30 Texas National Guard members stood watch outside the properties of wealthy private ranch owners in South Texas earlier this year in an effort to crack down on illegal immigration.

The ranches were over an hour drive away from the U.S.-Mexico border, but troops were present to try to deter migrants who might have looked to cross the border via private properties to avoid Border Patrol checkpoints, according to The Texas Tribune.
