The chances that National Guard troops will soon patrol Louisiana cities grew more likely this week when Gov. The governor has previously endorsed the president’s idea to direct the Louisiana National Guard into New Orleans, but he’s stopped short of asking Trump to do it. The forces on the ground include 135 military police from the Louisiana National Guard. The use of National Guard troops to achieve political purposes, such as Trump’s immigration crackdown, crosses a line, the general said. “I’m concerned about the immigrant community and what’s gonna happen to our essential workers.”The Louisiana National Guard did not respond to a request for comment for this report.
