California Governor Jerry Brown changed course Wednesday night and announced the mobilization of 400 National Guard troops to the border in compliance with orders from the White House.

Brown’s announcement comes after he apparently distanced himself from an April 11 authorization of 400 troops to be mobilized. The administration announced Monday that it would not provide troops over concerns they would provide too much direct support to immigration enforcement officials. 

President Trump harshly criticized Brown the next day.

“Looks like Jerry Brown and California are not looking for safety and security along their very porous Border,” POTUS tweeted Tuesday morning. “He cannot come to terms for the National Guard to patrol and protect the Border. The high crime rate will only get higher. Much wanted Wall in San Diego already started!”
