Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd has become one of the most recent visitors to the border wall in Arizona. Judd made the trek to Cochise County along with Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, and Sheriff Wayne Ivey of Brevard County.
Judd caled the situation “a crisis” that ranges to communities across the country.
Following his tour, Judd said the cartels are in charge at the border, facilitating deadly fentanyl and methamphetamine coming into the U.S., and killing people by the thousands.
He also noted the victims involved in human trafficking.
