Texas National Guard

At least two people were killed after a National Guard helicopter with one National Guardsman and three Border Patrol agents on board crashed near the US-Mexico border in Texas, the New York Post reported.

A soldier commanding a vanished Humvee was not answering calls. No one in the unit had his driver's phone number, worsening the situation of an Army vehicle and two soldiers missing somewhere near flood-ravaged Houston as night approached.

The conspiracy theories grew wilder as the massive military exercise grew closer: food riots and martial law were coming to the United States, some said.

California Gov. Jerry Brown took a not-so-subtle dig at Texas' decision to deploy National Guard troops to the border, saying Monday that he expects it to be a short-lived measure and that "wiser minds will prevail."

The governor of Texas, a vocal critic of the White House's response to the surge of children and families entering the U.S. illegally, plans to deploy as many as 1,000 National Guard troops to the Texas-Mexico border, a lawmaker confirmed on Monday.
