Former federal prosecutor worries about unprecedented lawlessness at the southern border

Former Arizona State Attorney General Mark Brnovich says in prepared testimony at a hearing about state power to enforce the United States border amid a legal challenge between Texas and the Biden Administration that as a former federal prosecutor and state gang prosecutor, as well as a husband and parent, they express concern about the nation being under assault from cartels and gangs at the Southern border, citing an unprecedented rise in lawlessness, human smuggling, sex trafficking, and illegal drugs, and asserting that it constitutes an invasion according to the United States Constitution, invoking the state self defense clause and the Invasion clause to argue that states have the right to defend themselves without needing consent from Congress.
