National Guard may run out of money because of Trump’s repeated deployments

The National Guard is preparing for its fall training programs, but Donald Trump’s deployments are eating into its operational budget

The National Guard is feeling the cost of Donald Trump’s insistence on using National Guard troops to carry out his expansive immigration roundups and policing actions in Washington, D.C.

National Guard Major General Greg Porter, based in Wyoming, told the state's lawmakers during a meeting of the Joint Transportation Highways & Military Affairs Committee that the costs of Trump's National Guard deployments are still unknown, but they're no doubt eating into the branch's funds, according to WyoFile.

Porter said that the costs of prolonged deployments will eat into funding intended for things like training and operations.
