According to the governor, he is sending 100 troops to assist with Texas's Operation Lone Star. The troops will assist with securing the border as well as reducing the flow of fentanyl into the United States in the wake of Title 42's end earlier this month.“The ongoing border crisis facing our nation has turned every state into a border state,” Youngkin said.
Youngkin and eight other Republican governors participated in a meeting with Gov. Greg Abbott last week. In attendance were Govs. Sarah Huckabee Sanders , Brad Little , Kim Reynolds , Tate Reeves , Jim Pillen , Kevin Stitt , Henry McMaster , and Bill Lee . While the number of encounters with immigrants by the Border Patrol has dropped off by about 55% since the end of Title 42, the rate of"got-aways" has increased. According to a Washington Examiner analysis, nearly one person evaded the Border Patrol for every 2 1/2 that were intercepted following the policy's end.
