The Biden administration's immigration policies have placed a significant burden on law enforcement agencies across the country. Officers face dangerous situations stemming from increased drug trafficking and encounters with undocumented individuals. This uncontrolled situation exposes law enforcement to risks like exposure to deadly fentanyl. Communities are less safe as resources are diverted from core duties. Robust border security measures and enforcement of existing laws are imperative to support the safety of law enforcement officers and the public. Congress must act to address this crisis and its severe impacts on those sworn to protect and serve. Comprehensive reform that secures the border and provides law enforcement with the tools they need is an urgent priority.
