If our entire southern border isn\u2019t secure, our nation isn\u2019t secure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>The Arizona model has, since its inception in 2015, seized 985 pounds of fentanyl, 13,100 pounds of methamphetamine, 1,704 pounds of cocaine and 801 pounds of heroin.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>&#8220;As dangerous transnational criminal organizations continue to profit from holes in the border and fill our communities with drugs,&#8221; he continued, &#8220;it\u2019s no coincidence that we\u2019re seeing historic levels of opioid-related deaths. The American Governors\u2019 Border Strike Force will serve as a force multiplier in the fight against criminal activity directly tied to our border.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>The collaboration, which was first discussed in December 2021, aims to serve as a network for states to better deal with crimes related to the southern border.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>In order to achieve their goals, the group will work to improve cybersecurity, target cartel finances, and intersect traffic on Interstate-10 and Interstate-40, which are main arteries of drug and human trafficking in the border region.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>&#8220;With record breaking migration leading to an overwhelming amount of apprehensions at the southern border,&#8221; the release reads, &#8220;law enforcement is stretched too thin to effectively combat the cartels. This leads to more drugs entering the country, more dangerous individuals avoiding arrest, and more victims of human trafficking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>The announcement of the force&#8217;s creation comes as the Biden administration prepares for the end of <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/cdc-to-terminate-title-42-border-policy-may-23\">Title 42<\/a> pandemic expulsions from the border, which they announced earlier this month will end on May 23. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new alliance comprised of 26 states, the American Governors&#8217; Border Strike Force, has been created in an attempt to secure the southern border.As the crisis at the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":498,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1448537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/498"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1448537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1448537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1448537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1448537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
