“There is simply not ample evidence to support the president’s contention of a national security crisis at our southwestern border,' Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers said.
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signed an executive order Monday to withdraw all of his state’s National Guard troops from the southern border with Mexico. Wisconsin troops have been stationed in Arizona since last June. Currently, 112 soldiers are working as part of border security.Evers, a Democrat, exercised his authority as commander in chief of his state’s National Guard to revoke the order to send the militia to the southern border by former Governor Scott Walker, a Republican.
The federal government went into a partial shutdown on December 22, 2018, when Republicans and Democrats in Congress couldn’t agree on a temporary spending bill that would fund Trump’s proposed $5.7 billion border wall. Once the government reopened, a bipartisan committee hashed out an agreement that included less than a quarter of Trump’s funding wish, about $1.4 billion, and Trump subsequently declared a national emergency.
