Arizona Governor Mobilizes National Guard to Border Amidst Biden's Aid Refusal

Arizona's Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs has mobilized the state's National Guard to the border with Mexico, accusing the federal government of failing to secure the border. The Guard will assist with fentanyl interdiction, analytical support, and human trafficking enforcement. Arizona's Tucson Sector has experienced a surge in migrant encounters, prompting the closure of a border crossing. Governor Hobbs called for resources and manpower to manage the flow of migrants and maintain a secure and orderly border. The Biden administration has faced criticism from both Republicans and Democrats for not providing enough resources, while requesting $14 billion in emergency funding from Congress. Talks are ongoing to resolve the gridlock and find a compromise.
