(Raymond Neupert, WRN) -Some Wisconsin National Guard troops are being sent to the border with Mexico by the Biden Administration.

The 125 troops from Prairie Du Chien and Richland will be taking part in continuing efforts on the border. The deployments are set to extend through next year and are being deployed on federal orders and not by Governor Evers.

The Biden administration says the deployment is not about law enforcement.
