“What do you say to those other governors and why you have aided the Trump administration in using Texas National Guard? I just urge the governors very simply, go read the law, because What the law provides is what's called Title 10 that authorizes the president to... call up National Guard in order to help the executive branch execute and enforce the immigration laws of the United States. They are actually in violation of that federal law. What Texas has done is authorizing the president to call up National Guard as he is authorized under Title 10 to deploy them in situations like this.” (03:13–03:28)
