Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) made a break with the Biden administration Friday with the announcement that Arizona would send its own military to the southern border after the White House refused to redirect troops under federal orders to assist.
Hobbs signed an executive order Friday afternoon that blamed President Joe Biden for the "unmitigated humanitarian crisis" across the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border and further attacked him for refusing to redirect federally assigned troops to a part of Arizona where thousands of immigrants per day have entered the country illegally for weeks.
Hobbs asked the Biden administration more than a week ago to reassign the troops under federal order. About 2,500 National Guard service members are currently on federal active duty orders on the southern border, and 243 of those service members are already in the Tucson Sector, she noted.
