I am sad to learn of the passing of Lisa Blankenship.

Lisa was among the first GOP activists I met after I launched my campaign for Attorney General — and I will never forget her kindness, exuberance, and passion for this state. She will be missed.

@MatthewGress Thank you Rep. @MatthewGress for once again taking the lead on protecting children.

Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day.

In honor of the victims of trafficking, I’ve introduced three measures to bring justice to Arizonans who’ve suffered from abuse.

HB 2402: Requiring recording of child abuse interviews to help prosecutors (https://t.co/VFTg4yzPhN)

HB 2607: Raising the penalties on child predators (https://t.co/ahq6lQ3kr0)

&

HB 2623: To allow victims of sex trafficking who’ve been convicted of prostitution to vacate that conviction (https://t.co/CyhMkuuYCE)

.@RonDeSantis is right about the First Step Act. As a federal prosecutor, I had to deal with the terrible consequences of this ill-conceived law. Tremendous resources are wasted responding to frivolous filings by convicted felons.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

We must repeal the jailbreak bill that allowed this to happen.

EXCLUSIVE: An improvised explosive device bound for the U.S. was intercepted at an Arizona port of entry.

The improvised explosive device was intercepted during secondary inspection by CBP officers at the Douglas, Arizona POE on May 6th.

The IED was made using an M&M container with electrical tape. Blue and red wires were exposed at the end of the container.

I am waiting for more information regarding who the subject who attempted to get the device into the country.

NEW: Remarkable video from our Fox drone team shows an enormous line of hundreds of migrants who just crossed illegally into Brownsville, TX this evening. A large majority of them are single adults. The RGV continues to see a massive surge of illegal crossings ahead of T42 drop.

Rep @MatthewGress’s humble beginnings is one of the many things that make him a great leader. This AZ State House member is one to watch.

[Matt Gress @MatthewGress]

As someone who spent his childhood growing up in a single-wide mobile home (see below), this bill is personal to me as our family and many others living in mobile homes have few extra dollars to spare, especially in a life-altering event like these park closures. 3/

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Cartels make terrible babysitters.

[Chief Rosario “Pete” Vasquez @USBPChief]

A one-year-old Guatemalan child was abandoned along the Colorado River Monday afternoon by a smuggler who took him across the border and then left him to fend for himself along the water’s edge. Thanks to our agent’s quick response, tragedy was averted!

Our Border Patrol Agents are putting themselves in harm’s way every single day. Thank you to the men and women who serve our country by defending the border. https://t.co/tMVFVKy8AB via @YouTube

Exceptional job by ⁦@sherifflamb1⁩ fielding tough questions at this House committee hearing on homeland security. His answers are spot on. Definitely worth a listen. https://t.co/XCF6NFcagm

The Arizona Legislature has done irreparable damage by giving someone a platform to make false, defamatory statements about our citizens.

[Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson]

Our #BorderSolutionsSummit has started.

Special thanks to Col. Grube from Clark County (IN) Sheriff’s Office, former AUSA Ms. @lacy_cooper, and Sheriff David Black from Otero County (NM) Sheriff’s Office for participating on our Law Enforcement panel.

[Lacy Cooper @lacy_cooper]

of our nation’s border crisis is our federal laws and broken immigration system. It’s time for Congress to stop pointing fingers and start implementing solutions that only they have the power to make. 2/2

[Lacy Cooper @lacy_cooper]

Biden and Mayorkas share blame for their open borders rhetoric and loose enforcement policies that have caused an unprecedented number of migrants from all over the world to surge to our southern border over the past two+ years.

However, the #1 cause 1/ https://t.co/Y5azgnPw4O

It’s time for the Arizona Republican Party to get back to its traditional, conservative values. https://t.co/Kj9Qh8HpwB

@MCRCC2 Get a hotel room on Saturday night, Mohave County friends. It’s going to be a very long day.

[Lacy Cooper @lacy_cooper]

In three days, AZ Republican SCs will hold an election to determine the leadership of our party, and the division in the party will be in full display. Two clear factions have formed. Which one will be victorious?
