On April 14, a National Guardsman assigned to Operation Lone Star "discharged a weapon in a border-related incident," the Texas Military Department said.
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.
As the F-35C fleet expands at Naval Air Station Lemoore, the service and a government oversight group worry the jets aren’t available for missions enough.
