Ohio will send 185 members of its National Guard to the U.S.–Mexico border, Gov. Mike DeWine said on Friday.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Guard Bureau (NGB) had requested the activation of more members of the Ohio National Guard to support the Southwest Border mission, according to a release from DeWine’s office. The Republican governor said that he approved the request.
