New Arizona law cracks down on criminal accomplices at Southern Border

Just The News- Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed legislation cracking down on human smuggling organizations.

Ducey signed House Bill 2696 that makes “clear that an individual who aids illegal human smuggling organizations or operations will be held accountable for their crime.” according to a press release from Ducey’s office.

“We have seen a dramatic increase in human smuggling at the border since President Biden took office,” Ducey said in the April 28 press release. “These criminals drive recklessly, which often ends in death and tragedy. We’ve all seen the news reports. I’m hopeful this new law will help to save lives and deter more migrants from making the dangerous journey to our border.”

The bill passed through both chambers of the Arizona legislature with bipartisan support last week: 17-11 in the Senate and 37-20 in the House of Representatives. The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Leo Biasiucci, R-Lake Havasu City, was pleased to see Ducey sign the bill into law.
