Arizona Governor Katy Hobbs (D) I've signed “Orders to fight cartels, to stop drug smuggling and to secure Arizona's borders,” the governor said. In a news release on Tuesday.
The executive order calls for the establishment of a joint task force called “Operation Desert Guardian” by the Grand Canyon State Public Safety Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Emergency and Military Affairs. Demolition of criminal organizations across borders.
The Arizona Department of Homeland Security is also necessary to put together a task force to “ensure a coordinated joint strategy with state agencies, county sheriffs, local law enforcement agencies, and federal law enforcement agencies.”
“I am proud to launch Operation Desert Guardian to fight the cartels, to stop drug smuggling and human trafficking, and to secure the Arizona border,” Hobbs said in the release. “My administration is in touch with the federal government and local sheriffs about its operations, its key objectives, and its shared commitment to protecting criminals and drugs from the Arizona community.”
In November, Hobbs said he would “work with the Trump administration to continue its border security efforts.”
But when asked about Trump's massive deportation pledge, she said, “We don't really help the important work that's going on here, we're watching here today, and we're actually making our community safe and secure. “We will not tolerate the false guiding policy of keeping it at.”
“I will not tolerate terrifying communities or threatening Arizonans,” she added.
