In a statement, Haas said the State Guard was a “military organization” that will be used not just for emergencies but for “aiding law enforcement with riots and illegal immigration.”

On the first day of training, Newhouse said he was escorted off the base after lodging several complaints, including that the National Guard’s schedule required training on Sundays, instead of allowing members to use those days for religious services and personal time, as was the original plan.

This is all normal for State National Guard units. Training is on the weekends and two months out of the year. Religious activities are allowed if they don’t interfere with the mission, which comes first. Lots of States sent National guardsman to the southern border. None of this is new or alarming.

This isn’t a state national guard, it’s a state guard. According to the legislation that created it, the United States federal government has no jurisdiction over the new state guard and cannot nationalize it, meaning they are unable to nationalize it like they can with a state national guard.
