(Des Moines, IA) — Governor Kim Reynolds is joining 25 other Republican governors in asking to meet with President Joe Biden to discuss security at the US/Mexico border. Governor Reynolds says Iowa’s dramatic increase in meth and fentanyl seizures this year is connected to drug smuggling from Mexico. Reynolds sent 28 Iowa State Troopers and Department of Public Safety officers south for two weeks this summer to assist Texas authorities at the border. Reynolds says Biden Administration policies have led to a border crisis and the federal government has a duty to solve it.
