"Gov. Hobbs Takes Action on Lukeville Border Closure and Requests Reimbursement from Biden"
TL;DR
Governor Katie Hobbs plans to visit the Lukeville Port of Entry on Saturday amid its closure, which began on December 4. The closure was implemented to redirect personnel to assist with border security. Local businesses are struggling, and residents are facing longer travel times. Governor Hobbs announced Operation SECURE, an effort to mobilize additional state resources for border security. The operation includes the creation of a new Border Security Office and the potential mobilization of up to $5 million for the National Guard. Hobbs has also urged President Joe Biden to utilize National Guard members to support the reopening of the port of entry.
