Frustrated by what he argues is a lack of support by President Biden's administration,
Republican Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire is taking matters into

Sununu announced on Thursday that he'll use $1.4 million in funding from New Hampshire's current budget to boost tenfold patrols by state and local law enforcement along the 58-mile border.
