Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs introduced He ordered the deployment of the National Guard on the border with MexicoStressing that the federal government’s recent decision to close a border checkpoint in its state “led to an uncontrollable humanitarian crisis.”

It’s about to A striking rebuke of US President Joe Biden by a Democratic official, with border security emerging as a major issue in the election campaign. In the 2024 presidential election, President Biden will seek re-election to the White House.

“Once again the federal government refuses to do its job to secure our borders and keep our communities safe,” Hobbs said in a press release. The Arizona governor did not specify how many National Guard members would be mobilized, saying they would be deployed near the Lukeville border crossing and in the San Miguel area.

On December 4, federal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) closed the Lukeville border checkpoint until further notice, citing a reallocation of resources to address migrant smuggling elsewhere on the border.

In the executive order to mobilize the National Guard, Katie Hobbs says the “crisis” has put public safety and commerce at risk. He had previously asked President Biden to task the Arizona National Guard with reopening the Lukeville border checkpoint. “With this executive order, I am taking action that the federal government has not taken,” he says, noting that the Biden administration has not responded to its request to reimburse the state for border patrol costs.

President Biden has also come under pressure from other Democrats on immigration. They include the mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York, who have called for more funding to deal with the growing influx of immigrants.
