i believe it is quite evident that the recent deployment of national guard troops to the southern border is the result of carefully considered fact-based decisions. on april 1st president trump manufactured a crisis on twitter and justified the deployment of national troops after watching fox news describe a caravan of central american migrants who entered the u.s. through the so-called catch and release. as with a lot of his tweets there's plenty of misinformation to unpack. first, he appears to be claiming it is getting more dangerous due to a caravan of largely honduran asylum seekers fleeing violence mostly who are women and children, even babies. mr. breen, is this also your understanding? >> yeah, my understanding is that the caravan is essentially asylum seekers fleeing an extremely violent northern triengling of central america. >> do you believe that this caravan poses a national security or military threat? >> i have absolutely no reason to believe that. no. >> i know i'm asking to restate some of your points but it's for a purpose. president trump also seemed to imply that the

but the quotes were taken out of context that national guard has been a huge benefit in the past and d it to be a benefit again this time around. >> marion rafer dubai from los angeles. hi, marion. >> i cannot make there thousands of guard troops at the southern u.s. border since president trump made the order last month. the head of the national border patrol is clarifying the recent comments he made that the presence of the guard is not helping border patrol agents. brandon judd, president of the border bashaw council telling "fox and friends" this morning that having guard troops on the border was quote, a colossal waste. were actually taken out of context. >> i was talking about the deployment of our current border patrol resources, would we actually need the national guard. nobody praised the president more than i did in any media that i know of. >> the current deployment of national guard troops have been handled differently than previous deployments. there are rules and restrictions in place this time around. the union president said it's a poor use of resources. unlike previou

i have no issues whatsoever with the.the national guard to the southern border. my concerns will always be the readiness of our troops. administrations from both parties over the years have deployed the guard to the border. under the obama administration, june 2010 to september 2011, title 32 status, we deploy the national guard. president george w. bush, from june 2006 to july 2008, we deploy the guard. perhaps in response to those two, i don't know, i wasn't in congress, congress and its wisdom said hey, we've got to take a look at this. in 2011 we said take a look at the deployment, they came back and said it cost $135 billion on these two separate operations but there are number of things we learned. the gao found there were challenges for the national guard and for active duty military forces in providing support to law enforcement. for example,

we deployed the national guard. president george w. bush, from june 2006 to july 2008, we deployed the guard. perhaps in response to those two, i don't know, i wasn't in congress. congress and its wisdom said we have to take a look at this. in 2011, we said take a look at the deployments, they came back and said it cost $135 billion on these two separate operations, but there are a number of things that we learned. there were challenges for the national guard and for active duty military forces in providing support to law enforcement missions. for example, under title 32, national guard personnel are permitted to participate in law enforcement activities, however, at least then, the secretary of defense had precluded national guard forces from making an arrest while performing border missions because of concerns raised about militarizing the u.s. border. all of the arrest and seizures at the southwest border were performed by the border patrol. the g.a.o. also reported on the varied availability of units to support law enforcement missi

>> he still has some criticism about the way the national guard is being used; right? >> that's right. judd says the current deployment of national guard troops is being handled differently than previous border deployments and the union president said that's led to a poor use of resources. now a national guard troop must be paired with a border patrol agent who has law enforcement powers. >> when we have the national guard there, they have been in our lookout and observation post, they have been in our static positions, they have been in our control room, and what they do is they free up those resources that otherwise have to do those jobs to allow us to go out and patrol the border. >> now, so far more than 1600 national guard troops have deployed to the borders of arizona, california, new mexico, and texas, assisting with over 4,000 deportations, and they have also turned back more than a thousand people who are trying to penetrate our borders illegally. according to pentagon officials the number of guard troops assisting a the border could swell to 4,000 in the comi

the national guard has a dual mission, and they must be able to function in a state environment. currently, some national guard members receive training through the existing cyber training framework. however, we have found that there is a training camp for the national guard as the current platforms do not provide training on how to protect critical infrastructure, something guard members will face during a cyber attack. this pilot program will collaborate with academic institutions to develop curriculum to provide educational training on protecting critical infrastructure alongside other agencies and partners. it will also implement curriculum to educate the national guard on the different missions carried out under titles 10 and 32. during a recent cyber hearing, the witnesses reiterated the importance of having existing interagency relationships in place in order to more effectively respond and recover from a cyber attack. this pilot program would provide an interagency training environment that forecasters relationship-building to further enhance common language and approac a

i have to say, the molten —— national guard did not wa nt molten —— national guard did not want us tova even when it got close to the water. it is because it remains dangerous and that is what they keep warning people here. the new venezuelan opposition leader has rejected the results of the elections even before the results have been announced. president nicolas maduro is almost certain to be re—elected despite the country being in deep crisis, with people going hungry and thousands fleeing every day. turn—out looks to be about 32%. the bbc‘s katy watson is in caracas. the results aren't in yet, but everybody expects mr maduro to win. it has been a very low turnout. certainly looking at the polling stations i visited, both pro—opposition and pro—government, there were very few people out on the street willing to vote. but the government has been very clear and very animated, telling people to go out and vote. they seem pretty confident. we will find out in the next few hours whether that confidence is misplaced or whether mr maduro will be winning a second term, like most people thin

i applaud this effort, but sending the national guard to the border is really nothing new. guard troops helped build a fence in operation jump start under president bush and provided much-needed aviation support to supplement cbp's air and marine operations under operation fail fallics during the obama administration. my home state of texas has been leading the way when it comes to securing the border. and for years, we've used the national guard on our border at our state's expense to help ensure the safety of texans, despite years of inaction by previous administrations. congress has recently provided cbp with billions of dollars to invest in technology, area replacement, new levee wall construction in the rio grande valley sector. and i believe all of this is desperately needed down there. i believe this will serve as a powerful deterrent to illegal entry as well as provide flood protection against the rio grande valley. from the river. so, this is a very important issue, and i look forward to an update on how cbp prepares to, as this caravan, they call it, prepares to co

under the obama administration, june 2010 to september 2011, title 32 status, we deploy the national guard. president george w. bush, from june 2006 to july 2008, we deploy the guard. perhaps in response to those two, i don't know, i wasn't in congress, congress and its wisdom said hey, we've got to take a look at this. in 2011 we said take a look at the deployment, they came back and said it cost $135 billion on these two separate operations but there are number of things we learned. the gao found there were challenges for the national guard and for active duty military forces in providing support to law enforcement. for example, under title 32, national guard personnel are permitted to participate. the secretary of defense had precluded national guard forces from making arrests while performing border missions because of concerns raised about militarizing the u.s. border. as a result they were performed by border patrol. the gao also reported on the varied availability of support law enforcement missions. some are regularly available to go to the border. others aren't. for example ground

>> well, if you look at the way we've used the national guard in the past, when we have the national nd observation posts, they've been in our static positions, they've been in our control room, and what they do is they free up those resources that otherwise have to do those jobs to allow us to go out and patrol the border. but right now, if you look at our control rooms, whereas we used to have three agents in the control room, we now still have those same three agents, just another three national guards people. and i just use three just as an example 'cause each control room is different station to station. so we're not freeing up those resources. and again, this is not a president trump issue. president trump made that decision to send the national guard which was the right decision, it was the proper decision. especially as we continue to see these numbers rise in our apprehensions. griff: right. >> president trump gave us all the momentum we needed to do the job. it was the obama holdovers that failed to follow through on his -- on the momentum that he gave us. griff: okay. so yo

we had to travel a long distance in with the national guard.g, as what it's called. essentially the air—quality is extremely bad but it depends very much on the wind. when we were down at the mound of lava and the steam was coming off it, carrying some of those gases concerned some of those particles that can damage people and their health, it was moving out to sea. i have to say though, with the national guard, they made very clear they were concerned about the wind changing direction at any time. that is why they made us stand with gas masks and they were watching the entire time, just monitoring the air—quality. that is why they want to get people out and the concern is, if the wind was to change and it was to move those toxic gases or indeed that vog in this direction, that could change things and that's why people in homes who live in the evacuation area, who haven't left yet have been told, it is time to go. some extraordinary pictures. polls have closed in venezuela after a controversial presidential election boycotted by most opposition
