The officials spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Thomas Keegan said \u201cstate officials have not rejected anything\u201d since Brown proposed a formal agreement Wednesday with the Homeland Security and Defense Departments that prohibits any involvement in immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe federal government has not yet responded,\u201d Keegan said in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18106664354523.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44877\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18106664354523.jpg.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18106664354523.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18106664354523.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In this March 13, 2018, file photo, a motorcade carrying President Donald Trump drives along the border in San Diego. California has rejected the federal government&#8217;s initial plans for National Guard troops to the border because the work is considered too closely tied to immigration enforcement. (Evan Vucci\/AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Homeland Security Department spokesman Tyler Houlton said the federal government was committed to working with Brown and that the California leader shares interest in a secure border with Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense Integration Robert G. Salesses said the administration wanted 237 troops for work in two parts of the state that California \u201chas indicated they will not perform.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vitiello emphasized that California may participate in other ways that must still be worked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are anticipating additional requirements, and we got a signal from California that they are interested in improving border security,\u201d Vitiello said. \u201cSo, at some point that might come together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brown was clear last week that California troops will help go after drugs, guns and criminal gangs, but not immigrants. Drawing that line will likely prove difficult because the Border Patrol combats illegal immigration but also drug smuggling and other crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brown\u2019s pledge of 400 troops allowed Trump to boast support from all four border-state governors and helped put the president above the lower end of his threshold of marshaling 2,000 to 4,000 troops that he wants to fight illegal immigration and drug trafficking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Democratic governor cast his decision as a welcome infusion of support paid for by the U.S. government to fight transnational criminal gangs and drug and firearms smugglers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republican governors from Arizona, New Mexico and Texas have openly embraced the Trump administration\u2019s plans and specific jobs for their troops, as California did in previous Guard deployments. Texas National Guard members are already doing aerial and ground surveillance. The Arizona National Guard said last week that its troops will provide air and ground support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Guard had about 900 troops working on the border mission Monday, a number that changes daily, said Lt. General Daniel R. Hokanson, the National Guard Bureau\u2019s vice chief. Nearly 250 were in Arizona, more than 60 in New Mexico and about 650 in Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Alonso Lugo reported from Washington.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration said Monday that California Gov.
