Hobbs said she has spoken with United States Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas since the Lukeville Port of Entry reopened.
The Center Square asked Hobbs on Thursday what the status of communication has been like between DHS and the state government at a gaggle with reporters in north Phoenix.
"So my team is communicating with them daily. I've spoken with the secretary a couple of times since the port was reopened," Hobbs said.
As of now, Hobbs is continuing with a border security mission known as "Operation SECURE." She is seeking for funding for the operation in the state's budget, as lawmakers receive a briefing by sheriffs from Yuma and Cochise counties on what they want from the legislature this session, The Center Square reported.
