On April 14, a National Guardsman assigned to Operation Lone Star "discharged a weapon in a border-related incident," the Texas Military Department said.
Staffing changes in the Alaska Air National Guard may hurt the organization's ability to secure America's western airspace and carry out rescue operations.
Authorities said the Guardsman turned around at a Border Patrol checkpoint and fled, leading to a 15-mile chase at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour.
