Governor Doug Ducey and a delegation of state lawmakers travelled to Yuma on Wednesday to call on the Biden administration to address what the governor says is the “escalating humanitarian and security crisis” on the U.S. Mexico border. The officials received a briefing from Border Patrol, local law enforcement and community leaders.
The Governor was joined by Senate President Karen Fann, House Speaker Rusty Bowers, Adjutant General Kerry Muehlenbeck, Yuma County Sheriff Leon Wilmot, Yuma Mayor Doug Nicholls, Yuma County Supervisor Jonathon Lines, San Luis Mayor Jerry Sanchez, Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels, local agriculture leaders and other leaders and members of the legislature.
Addressing the crisis at the border will take partnership from both sides of the aisle. I spoke to @SenatorSinema this afternoon about ways we can work together to protect Arizona’s border communities and get the Biden administration to act. pic.twitter.com/EyZm7WOtfx
