The claim: The Texas National Guard has deployed tanks to the border with Mexico
A Jan. 27 Instagram video (direct link, archive link) shows a train carrying dozens of military vehicles through a town.
“The Texas National Guard begins transporting armored vehicles to the border with Mexico, the post caption reads in part.
Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.
A similar post spread on X, formerly Twitter, and a Spanish version of the claim was also shared on Facebook.
More from the Fact-Check Team: How we pick and research claims | Email newsletter | Facebook page
Our rating: False
The Texas National Guard said it is not sending tanks to the U.S. southern border. The transportation of military equipment around Fort Cavazos in Texas, where the video was taken, is routine, according to one military expert.
The video was taken in Texas, but it’s not going to the border with Mexico
The video was taken at the intersection of College St. and 761st Tank Battalion Ave. in Killeen, Texas, close to the U.S. Army's Fort Cavazos. Street signs indicating the location are visible in the video.
But there is no evidence the train is carrying tanks from the Texas National Guard to the U.S. southern border. There are no credible news reports about such a development.
“The Texas National Guard is not sending tanks to the border,” a spokesperson for the Texas Military Department in said an email to USA TODAY.
The state of Texas is currently feuding with the federal government over how to control the southern border as it faces a surge of migrants. The state set up razor wire along the Rio Grande to deter migrants from crossing the border, a move the federal government sees as a step too far. The Supreme Court ruled on Jan. 22 that the federal government can cut and remove the razor wire, but the state continues to set up the wire in certain areas.
The transportation of army equipment around Fort Cavazo is a daily occurrence, according to Eric Rojo, a retired U.S. Army colonel. 
“The movement of armored equipment is constant,” Rojo said. “Fort Cavazos is one of the largest armored infantry bases in the U.S. It's the home to the First Cavalry Division, which includes mechanized infantry, using Bradley Fighting Personnel Carriers, armor units such as M-1 Abram tanks, and other combined arms units. Some of these vehicles are what we see in the video.”
Rojo also said the vehicles on the train are not tanks but Bradley Fighting Vehicles, which blend elements of a tank, an armored personnel carrier and other armored vehicles.
"Many people confuse them," Rojo said.
Fact check: False claim Putin, Russia pledged arms to Texas in dispute with US government
USA TODAY reached out to the user who shared the post for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
A similar claim about tanks at the Mexico-U.S. border was debunked by Factchequeado.

It feels like its starting to sink in with more people on the left and even among a few centrists that the Republicans aren’t joking and have every intention of launching another civil war. What worries me is that almost nobody seems to appreciate just what that means. Many people on here seem convinced that the worst thing that can happen is that liberals/leftists abandon the Red States, or rather the persecuted peoples living within those states, to their fate. Others have a downright infantile attitude, and think the war will be won relatively quickly (this is unfortunately a pretty common belief among conservatives and liberals). Lets make two things abundantly clear right now: 1.) The Blue States aren’t going to abandon oppressed people in the Red States/allow the Red States to secede and the reason is:
2.) Secession, or even widespread violent insurrection within the Red States would have disastrous consequences for global supply chains, and people nowhere near the fighting would die as a result if we did nothing. 
In a highly interconnected global economy, hardly anybody is capable of being self sufficient at the drop of a hat, and that’s true within the borders of the United States. Most of our cereals and livestock feed is grown in Iowa. Most of our oil and gas is refined in Louisiana and Texas, and a lot of it is sourced from North Dakota. Most of our produce is grown in California, our dairy comes mainly from California, Wisconsin, and New York, and most of our Beef comes from Canada but is fed using Iowa grain.
Tumblr media
So, what happens when war breaks out and the most complex supply chain on the planet gets interrupted? People die everywhere by the score. Let’s say we get lucky, and the garrison at Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood), manages to secure at least everything south of I-10 and the Marines land and retake New Orleans in the opening months of the war... they’re not gonna be able to secure the oil and gas supplies from East Texas and North Dakota. Even if we get alternate supplies from the Persian Gulf or by reactivating every well in the Gulf of Mexico and California, there will be severe shortages just in time for winter. The worst cases will be in contested territory, where neither side has reliable supply lines (most likely the Midwest). People facing a Midwestern polar vortex with no heating fuel will freeze to death in their own homes, burning garbage just to stay alive. Untold millions will try and flee, either to one of the loyalist zones or into Canada. Its worth mentioning that Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania have a combined population of  65.9 million people and Canada has a population of 38.3 million. Ontario on its own has only 14.6 million. During the worst days of the Syrian civil war, about half of the population was displaced. Ottawa would have no way of managing even 10% of the Midwest flooding into their largest province. The government would collapse, and that’s assuming its not already overburdened from a white nationalist rebellion in the western provinces. In New York and Eastern Pennsylvania, the population will be barely holding together as it is before having to deal with tens of millions of refugees. So they’d have no choice but to fight. But even willing to fight, armies don’t advance purely save civilians, especially when facing supply shortages. Now, the Red States will be facing their own supply shortages, but they have plenty of refineries in Oklahoma to fuel trucks and trains to take people to the concentration camps they’ll open about 5 minutes after declaring rebellion/independence. They’ll round up everyone who isn’t a White Christian, yes even the collaborators. The rest of the world will watch this in real time thanks to phone cameras and be powerless to do much about it for however long it takes to restructure the economy and supply the military for an advance into the South and Midwest.  This war will last years. The bad guys will lose because the Blue States have the ports and (you better vote to make sure this stays true) the loyalty of the military. But, that victory will come at great cost. The last two civil conflicts (the Revolution and the Civil War) killed between 2-3% of the population. That would be between ~7-10 million people, and there’s no reason this war wouldn’t come in that range, especially with the Red States executing their own holocaust and people freezing to death or starving due to supply chain interruptions. And that’s just in the US. Around the world, many countries will be facing their own food shortages and famines from the interruption in grain and livestock feed being exported out of the US (America is the number one exporter of Wheat post-Ukraine war, and the number two exporter of animal feed or around 8.9% of global supply).  The Republicans are going to get tens of millions of people killed in and out of America, probably over losing another election. Countless millions will be left to cope with PTSD, battlefield injuries, and respiratory diseases (they come with every war) for the rest of their lives. There will be nowhere to run, and we’ll all have to stand together to end that nightmare as soon as humanly possible.

Dad with 4 daughters brilliantly responds to people who keep making this insensitive remark to him
A dad posted an Instagram video responding to people who tell him they are “sorry,” asking them to stop making such remarks. Austin von Letkemann, a military intelligence officer at Fort Cavazos, said that people often tell him “I’m sorry” when they learn that he is a father of four daughters. “My daughters can understand you,” Austin said in his Instagram video. “Every single time I go out …. if…

Op 14 maart arriveerde de eerste gemoderniseerde Apache Echo gevechtshelikopter op vliegbasis Gilze-Rijen. Dit is de eerste gevechtshelikopter van de in totaal 20 exemplaren die terugkeren naar hun thuisbasis. De helikopters zijn na de grote upgrade weer 25 jaar lang inzetbaar. In 2025 is de gehele Apachevloot gemoderniseerd. De vernieuwde Apache Echo terug naar thuisbasis Op 7 december 2023 kwamen de eerste twee gemoderniseerde Apaches aan op vliegbasis Woensdrecht. Sindsdien werden de helikopters bij Logistiek Centrum Woensdrecht (LCW) in een vliegbare conditie gebracht. Na een aantal testvluchten vloog de eerste Apache Echo op 14 maart naar het Defensie Helikopter Commando op vliegbasis Gilze-Rijen. De Apache werd traditiegetrouw verwelkomd met waterbogen van de brandweer. Uiteindelijk worden 20 gemoderniseerde Apaches bij het 301 squadron op vliegbasis Gilze-Rijen gestationeerd. Nog eens zes exemplaren heeft defensie op dit moment al in gebruik op het 302 trainingssquadron in Fort Cavazos (Texas, VS), in 2025 komen hier twee toestellen bij. Apache Echo. Foto: © Gregory Fréni / Mediacentrum Defensie (MCD) info: [email protected] Van Delta naar Echo De modernisering van de helikopters vindt hoofdzakelijk plaats bij Boeing, de fabrikant, in de Verenigde Staten. Daar aangekomen worden de verouderde Apache Delta helikopters in hun geheel ontmanteld. Sommige componenten worden hergebruikt. Meeste onderdelen, zoals de motoren, composieten rotorbladen, sensoren, computers, navigatie- en radarsystemen, zijn nieuw en worden op het nieuwe airframe geïnstalleerd. Na de grote upgrade keren ze als Apache Echo middels luchttransport terug naar Nederland. Wendbaarder Die vernieuwingen zorgen ervoor dat de Apaches beter zijn uitgerust voor hun taken. De helikopters vliegen sneller en zijn wendbaarder dan voor de upgrade. Ook zijn ze beter in staat om data uit te wisselen en te communiceren met grondtroepen en andere luchteenheden, zoals de F-35 en de MQ-9 Reaper. Toekomstbestendig De AH-64E, oftewel de Apache Echo, is de gemoderniseerde variant van de Apache Delta (AH-64D) waar de Koninklijke Luchtmacht sinds 1997 over beschikt. Na 25 jaar intensief gebruik, met tussentijds noodzakelijk onderhoud en upgrades, was een grote modernisering noodzakelijk. Door deze upgrade beschikt Defensie over 28 moderne, effectieve en toekomstbestendigegevechtshelikopters, die inzetbaar zijn tot 2050. Apache Echo. Foto: © Gregory Fréni / Mediacentrum Defensie (MCD) info: [email protected] Breed inzetbare gevechtshelikopter De Apache (AH-64A) is oorspronkelijk ontworpen voor het uitschakelen van tanks en andere (gepantserde) gronddoelen. In de praktijk is het toestel breed inzetbaar dankzij een groot wapenpakket en geavanceerde sensorapparatuur. De helikopter wordt ingezet voor uiteenlopende taken, zoals (bewapende) verkenning, beschermen van grondtroepen en transporthelikopters, escorteren, bewaken van gebieden en het uitschakelen van (gepantserde) gronddoelen.

WACO, Texas — After pleading guilty to one count of accessory to murder after the fact and three counts of false statement or representation in the death of Vanessa Guillén on Nov. 28, 2020, Cecily Aguilar has been sentenced to 30 years in prison by a Waco judge.
"I'm happy to say that we can, in a sense, close this chapter and keep moving forward with whether it's legislation or whatever it is of Vanessa's legacy what's next that we keep pushing forward," Mayra Guillén, Vanessa's sister, said Monday outside the courthouse. 
"This judge today, he gave justice to Vanessa, he gave justice for this case," said Natalie Khawam, the attorney of the Guillén family.
In a press conference after the sentencing Monday, Khawam told media outlets that the judge based his maximum sentence decision off the indefensible actions of Aguilar. Those action include new details that were revealed in the courtroom Monday.
Some details were so graphic it made people in the courtroom ill.
Aguilar's aggressive behavior in jail also supported the judge's s decision, according to Khawam.
"We're not talking about a person that has any remorse here," Khawam said. "Anyone could say sorry, two words are easy to say. It's what you did. The crime that you committed, the harm that you've done to this community and this family and all these people."
"We are hoping that this sentencing will bring some sense of relief and some sense of justice to the Guillén family who's waited so long to have this moment," said U.S. Attorney Jaime Esparza, with the Western District of Texas. "The actions of the defendants are indefensible, and the appropriate sentence was handed down."
Prior to the sentencing hearing on Monday, Aug. 14, Guillen's family members and Central Texas community members held a rally outside the courthouse, demanding the maximum 30-year sentence for Aguilar, who pled guilty to charges in connection to the 2020 murder of Fort Cavazos soldier Vanessa Guillén.
In addition to the 30-year sentence, Aguilar faced three years of supervised release and a $1 million fine, according to the Department of Justice.
Much was shared during the hearing, including an acknowledgement that Aguilar had both time and an opportunity to confess to the events that happened on April 22, 2020, as well as statements that her and then-boyfriend Spc. Aaron Robinson had gotten the idea of how to dismember Guillen from the crime drama TV series "Criminal Minds."
According to information from Robinson's Army card, Robinson was inside the arms room, where he killed Guillén, for over an hour. Blood was also found, according to a forensic search.
Additionally, it was revealed that the two also visited the burial site near the Leon River twice. Once to dismember Guillén's body and a second time to mix her remains with cement. Aguilar also said that it took about seven hours for Guillén's bones to be fully broken down among a host of other disturbing details.
On early July 1, Robinson shot and killed himself as Killeen police closed in on him after he left the post.
"This is a painful chapter my family wants to close once and for all," said Mayra Guillén, Vanessa Guillén's sister, ahead of the trial, "and we are pushing, praying and hoping for the maximum sentence."
