MacDill Air Force Base (AFB) is near Tampa, and is charged with providing aerial fueling of military aircraft in that region. The USAF even referres to MacDill AFB as “America’s premier power projection platform.” If that is the case, then you need more than puny coastal patrol boats that are typically used to intercept illegal ‘boat people’ trying to get into the United States, unless the future threat is unprecedented waves of boat people?

On 19MAY2023, Idaho’s Governor Brad Little revealed some details about his plan to deploy up to 12 Idaho State Police (ISP) troopers to Weslaco, Texas. This is not a spur of the moment decision, it was first announced back in January 2023.
It is blamed on the skyrocketing use of fentanyl. From 2020 to 2021, the rate of fentanyl-related overdose deaths doubled in Idaho!
Idaho joins Florida in sending personnel to Texas. Governor Little explains how bad the situation is:
The plan to deploy ISP troopers to Texas is being coordinated with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). It is hoped that the ISP troopers will return home with experience that will help Idaho’s fight against fentanyl, however, this is not the first time Idaho has sent ISP to the U.S./Mexico border. In 2021, at least five Idaho troopers were sent to Arizona, to assist with the flood of illegals crossing the border.
In July 2021, Boise television station KTVB explained how governors can send state personnel to help other states in emergency situations:
Idaho’s ISP routinely patrols the border with Canada.
