National Guard to continue patrolling New Orleans
About 100 National Guard troops will continue patrolling New Orleans, where they have been a constant presence since a rash of violence broke out in June 2006 in the city ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.
National Guard troops will remain on the border and continue to ``be the eyes and ears of the US Customs and Border Protection'' until Sept. 30, under a move announced Friday by the Department of Homeland Security.
