SR 28 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution urging the Governor to offer the services of the Pennsylvania National Guard to the State of Texas in support of Operation Lone Star.

This resolution (SR 28) urges Pennsylvania's Governor to offer the Pennsylvania National Guard's services to Texas for Operation Lone Star, a border security effort. It directly affects Pennsylvania's National Guard and Texas' border operations, requesting deployment to assist with border security. The resolution cites Pennsylvania's interest in addressing border-related impacts like fentanyl trafficking and costs ($1.6 billion burden to taxpayers), and references the Guard's past experience in border operations. As a resolution, it does not mandate deployment but formally requests the Governor to volunteer the Guard's support and transmits the request to federal and Texas officials.
