Arizona Border Sheriffs Expect More Cartel Crime Once Title 42 Revoked

One sheriff gets the illegal alien โ€œgotawaysโ€ in his Arizona county, while the other predominantly gets the โ€œgive-ups.โ€

Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels said that during the month of March, his office apprehended more than 7,000 illegal immigrants who were trying to avoid capture, also known as โ€œgotaways.โ€

Two years ago, that number was โ€œa manageableโ€ 400 per month, Dannels said.

โ€œIn my section of the southeast corner in the state of Arizona โ€ฆ we see 100 percent aggravated individuals that are camouflaged, theyโ€™re coming to the country for all ill intentโ€”theyโ€™re taking advantage of current times,โ€ Dannels told members of Congress during an April 6 House hearing.

Between 900 and 1,000 smugglers drive into Cochise County to pick up illegal aliens near the border and drive them to Phoenix for about $1,000 per head, according to Dannels.

โ€œWe need to understand that smuggling comes with criminal cartels. These transnational organizations, they have no respect for Americans, no respect for communities,โ€ he said.ย โ€œMy office right now is investigating several acts here last month, where an agentโ€”they tried to cut his throat. Had another one [where] they tried to kill the agent.โ€

As the Biden administration prepares to end the Title 42 public health order on May 23, border sheriffs are expecting the worst.

โ€œWe have great concern,โ€ Dannels said. โ€œItโ€™s going to have a huge impact. Weโ€™re already outpaced.โ€

Title 42 is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention order that was invoked in March 2020 under then-President Donald Trump to minimize the spread of COVID-19 by ensuring that only essential travel occurred at U.S. borders.

It directed that illegal immigrants could be quickly expelled back into Mexico as a pandemic precaution, rather than be processed under Title 8 immigration law, which is a much more protracted process inside the United States.

โ€œCurrently, weโ€™re spending $17,000 a week out of a rural county sheriffโ€™s office to address border security,โ€ Dannels said.

Between July 1, 2021, and February, the sheriffโ€™s office has spent $1.1 million in booking border-related criminals into the local jail.

โ€œโ€‹โ€‹What weโ€™re not talking about when it comes to our southern border is the rule of law. Weโ€™re also not talking about border security. We have immigration, and we have border security. And sadly, border security has been set aside,โ€ Dannels said.
