Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) was deployed with his Air National Guard unit earlier this week to serve at the U.S.-Mexico border, his office said in a statement Wednesday.

The move follows President Trump’s decision to deploy an additional 3,750 troops to the border earlier this month, after already sending more than 4,000 there before the midterm elections.

  4. Hmmm, I wonder if, after his deployment, he might be willing to get some time on the House floor to talk about his mission there. Maybe a little bit of truth telling from someone that is ACTUALLY THERE!!!

    C’mon, Nancy - make some time on the schedule for this guy when he returns.

  5. Why do they need National Air Guard forces in the border, did the caravan members acquired bombers and fighters?
