Mexican news media report drug gangs on the U.S./Mexico border are using anti-tank weapons (they are Swedish made AT-4 non-guided anti-tank rockets, the report incorrectly calls them Javelin guided anti-tank missiles):

24 hours after the governors of South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia announced deployments of Army National Guard personnel to the Joint Task Force Lone Star operation, in Texas, several more states throw their hats in the ring.

On 01JUN2023, Arkansas, North Dakota and Ohio ordered additional militia personnel to the border with Mexico.

The Arkansas Democratic Gazette reported that Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is deploying an additional 80 state militia personnel, beginning in July, because of “President Biden’s failure at our southern border”.

There is already 125 North Dakota militia personnel in Texas, Governor Doug Burgum is sending an additional 1-hundred, saying “The threat to national security grows every day that the Biden administration abdicates the responsibility of the federal government to secure our borders – failing to enforce existing immigration laws and failing to dedicate the resources needed to stop the tide of illegal immigration and drug trafficking that endangers lives in communities across our country. If the White House won’t address this crisis, governors will, and we commend Gov. Abbott for taking the lead in the absence of federal action. The North Dakota National Guard has already deployed two units to the southern border in the past two years, and these additional military and law enforcement resources announced today will further strengthen efforts to secure the border and keep Americans safe.”

On 30MAY2023, Iowa’s  Governor Kim Reynolds ordered at least 130 state militia and police personnel, to Texas, saying “The crisis we are experiencing is a direct result of a dereliction of duty by President Biden.”
