The unit’s deployment follows the deployments of the 957 Engineer Company, the 1-112 Aviation Regiment and the 817th Engineer Company to the southern border. “The National Guard represents the finest men and women in our country. Their work each day to protect our nation, both at home and abroad, does not go unnoticed,” said Hoeven. “I’ve seen firsthand the work of our Guard at the southern border and they have provided invaluable service during this immigration crisis. I’m confident the 142nd Engineer Battalion will continue to provide this valuable support. Their assistance to CBP will help better address the crisis at our southern border, including by helping to fight back against human and drug trafficking. We need to secure the border, because border security is national security.” The 142nd Engineer Battalion is the fourth NDNG unit to deploy to the southern border in the last several years. Hoeven previously met with NDNG members in El Paso, Texas as well as Del Rio and Eagle Pass, Texas to draw attention to the crisis at the southern border and highlight NDNG missions in support of CBP operations. -###- | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:55:29Z |
