Tony Evers ordered the state's 112 troops to leave their posts along the US' southern border Monday evening. The Democrat's order makes Wisconsin the third state to pull National Guard personnel from the border this month, citing President Donald Trump's rhetoric around border security. "There is simply not ample evidence to support the president's contention that there exists a national security crisis at our Southwestern border," Evers said in a news release . "Therefore, there is no justification for the ongoing presence of Wisconsin National Guard personnel at the border." He handed down an executive order to bring the National Guard troops home Monday.
