New Mexico Governor Withdraws National Guard from U.S.-Mexico Border
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, New Mexico's Democratic Governor Michelle
Lujan Grisham has recalled most of her state's National Guard troops
from the U.S.-Mexico border, where they'd been stationed by her
Republican predecessor at President Trump's behest. Gov. Grisham timed
her rebuke of Trump's border policy to coincide with Tuesday's State of
the Union address, when she tweeted a previously unaired video from her
successful 2018 gubernatorial campaign.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham: "I'm Michelle Lujan Grisham. New Mexico is
49th in employment and 50th for schools. We've got to bust through some
walls to make changes."
