Arizona border security: Leaders debate cartel drug trafficking corridors

National and local leaders discussed the current state of drug policy and border security. Sarah Carter, the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under President Trump, highlighted a steady nationwide decline in drug overdose and poisoning deaths. However, Republican Congressman Andy Biggs, who is running for governor in Arizona, noted that the state has not yet experienced this downward trend due to its position as a primary focal point and waystation for cartels transporting illicit substances through open border corridors.
