US EditionGOP Attorneys General Call for More ICE Collaboration During Yuma Border Tour
- A group of approximately eleven Republican state attorneys general visited the Yuma border on Wednesday to observe immigration enforcement efforts and evaluate policy impacts firsthand.
- This visit followed concerns over increased illegal crossings and drug trafficking, prompting states like South Dakota and Utah to expand cooperation with ICE under 287 agreements.
- Officials underscored programs that enable state agencies to collaborate with ICE in identifying and apprehending violent criminals and drug traffickers at the southern border, noting that these partnerships help enhance community safety.
- Migrants apprehensions reportedly declined from 1,500 to four daily in some regions, while over 3 million fentanyl pills were seized in a recent multi-state bust, illustrating enforcement effects; as Kris Kobach said, this agreement is a "massive force multiplier."
- The group stressed ongoing need for stronger federal-state collaboration and resources, supporting legislation like the Big Beautiful Bill Act to continue improving border security and interior enforcement.
