Attorney General Kris Mayes renewed her call for the Trumpadministration to immediately provide additional federal resources to helpArizona combat the Mexican drug cartels and the fentanyl crisis and blasted outof state politicians for traveling to Arizona for meaningless photo-ops. “Outof state Republican attorneys general and Arizona Senate President WarrenPetersen can travel to the border for meaningless photo-ops all they want—butuntil local and state law enforcement is given the resources they need toprosecute the criminals responsible for drug trafficking, Arizonans willcontinue to pay the price.” – AG Mayes
