Twenty-six Republican governors said this week that they “understand the direct threat…criminal illegal immigrants pose to public safety and our national security, and we will do everything in our power to assist in removing them from our communities.”
The governors signed a joint statement through the Republican Governors Association endorsing President-elect Trump’s mass deportation plan.
“We stand ready to utilize every tool at our disposal—whether through state law enforcement or the National Guard—to support President Trump in this vital mission,” they wrote in the statement.
