Democratic Arizona governor says she’ll work with Trump on border security if it won’t harm families

Associated Press

PHOENIX (AP) — Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs said Monday she is willing to work with Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s new administration on border security issues like fentanyl interdiction. But that’s not the case in areas that she said could harm Arizona families like mass deportation. Hobbs traveled to the Arizona border with Mexico on Monday to trumpet efforts in recent months by her state’s National Guard to crack down on smuggling of the deadly synthetic opioid into the U.S. through the Nogales, Arizona port of entry. More than half of all border seizures of fentanyl are made annually in Nogales.
