Biden authorizes sending 1,500 troops to U.S.-Mexico border ahead of Title 42 orders ending

🔵 About 2,500 #NationalGuard members are already stationed at all nine sectors of the southwest border doing support work with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, one official said. The new increase will bring the total to 4,000 military personnel on the border.

🔵 Officials said the 1,500 troops requested by the Department of Homeland Security, will fill critical “capability gaps,” such as watching for crossings, monitoring camera feeds, data entry and warehouse support, until the agency can replace them with contractors.

🔵 #DHS said in a statement that the request for more troops is due to an anticipated increase in arrivals of migrants attempting to enter the U.S. Support from the troops will free up DHS personnel to fulfill their own law enforcement duties, officials said.

'Absolute liars': Ex-D.C. Guard official says generals lied to Congress about Jan. 6

A former D.C. National Guard official is accusing two senior Army leaders of lying to Congress and participating in a secret attempt to rewrite the history of the military's response to the Capitol riot.

In a 36-page memo, Col. Earl Matthews, who held high-level National Security Council and Pentagon roles during the Trump administration, slams the Pentagon's inspector general for what he calls an error-riddled report that protects a top Army official who argued against sending the National Guard to the Capitol on Jan. 6, delaying the insurrection response for hours.

Vice President Mike Pence, not President Trump, approved the order to deploy the D.C. National Guard

NYTimes:

Defense and administration officials said it was Vice President Mike Pence, not President Trump, who approved the order to deploy the D.C. National Guard. It was unclear why the president, who incited his supporters to storm the Capitol and who is still the commander in chief, did not give the order.

President Trump initially rebuffed and resisted requests to mobilize the National Guard, according to a person with knowledge of the events. It required intervention from the White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, among other officials, the person familiar with the events said.

Lede burried in "As the D.C. police clear the Capitol grounds, the mayor extends a public emergency.", Jan. 6, 2021, 3:48 p.m. ET

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/06/us/politics/national-guard-capitol-army.html

The Vice President of the United States is not in the military chain of command.

Possible reports are that the DoD refused Trump's order to deploy.
