Spencer Cox: “Our National Guard will not be putting hands on people, will…”

“What we've said from the very beginning is this, that we are willing to work to support the efforts to remove people who are here illegally. However, with a couple caveats there, that it would only be in a support. So Our National Guard will not be putting hands on people, will not be arresting people. That is not the role of the National Guard. And we would not allow that to happen. We've offered in the past because we've had problems to help with things like transport, because we don't have a nice facility here.” (22:39–22:44)
