at the out break of ww1 rhodesia was still a company concession, an 1889 charter company. while southern rhodesia with its large white population raised regular regiments in the rhodesia rifles and latter the rhodesia native rifles. north of the zambezi it was different with less than 3000 settlers little central authority the regions had a quasi colonial force that was both police and military until 1923 when northern rhodesia became a crown colony. in 1911 the ne rhodesia, nw rhodesia and barotseland became single entity and the police forces merged. the forces of north east rhodesian police (nrp), the british south africa police (north western rhodesia) called the basp and the barotse native police existed from 1896 to 1911, they were both police and a military units united in 1911 but with no east west communication. before ww1 they spent the time fighting slavers in the ne and maintaining the security of the frontiers against german, belgium & portuguese encroachment and keeping order as the railways developed. out the outbreak of ww1 and ww2 they divided into police and militia units serving in ww1 in namibia & in the east africa campaign, as the campaign wore on & on they became like regular units, in 1917 the 5 nrp & 2 basp companies (from s. rhodesia) became northern rhodesia police service battalion.

in early 2018, trump requested that state governors send national guard troops to the us–mexico border. in response to the family-separation policy, at least eight governors either recalled national guard troops from the us–mexico border or declined to send them to the border. states that withdrew troops, reversed plans to send troops, or declined to send troops were new york, north carolina, virginia, colorado, delaware, and rhode island (which have democratic governors) and maryland and massachusetts (which have republican governors). democratic governor john carney of delaware, for example, said "under normal circumstances, we wouldn't hesitate to answer the call. but given what we know about the policies currently in effect at the border, i can't in good conscience send delawareans to help with that mission." (some additional states—vermont and oregon—had declined trump's request before the family-separation policy had been implemented.)
