Port of Nogales Highlights Expansion of Operation Guardian Support
TUCSON, Ariz. – The National Guard is improving national security as Operation Guardian support expands at Arizona’s ports of entry.
Since the operation began in April, 375 volunteer National Guard members are now assigned to the Office of Field Operations, 40 at the Port of Nogales.
National Guard personnel are conducting traffic, inspecting cargo, assisting with x-ray machine operations, and completing secondary cargo and vehicle inspections, vital aspects of protecting the U.S. homeland while ensuring legitimate trade and travel at Arizona’s ports of entry.
Area Port Director Michael Humphries said the support is providing officers relief from extra duties, allowing law enforcement officials to focus on aspects of the CBP mission that require law enforcement authority, increasing the numbers of inspections the port can conduct.
“Having National Guard personnel assist our CBP officers at the ports of entry expands our labor pool and as a result, helps us respond to the variety of threats such as, drugs, weapons, illegal aliens, and possible terrorists, while helping CBP facilitate legitimate trade and travel,” said Humphries during a press event today at the port.
The director praised the National Guard for their support and said their speed at implementing their assigned duties removes extra duties and pressure from law enforcement officials who are relieved of duties not requiring law enforcement credentials.
Col. Hoyt Slocum, commander, Task Force Guardian, showcased the expanding role of Operation Guardian Support by addressing members of the media and touring the port with Director Humphries.
He emphasized border security and national security cannot be separated and proudly highlighted partner state Guardsmen from Wisconsin, Indiana, Maine, Iowa, and Kentucky who have volunteered to fill the Task Force’s ranks.
He reiterated the Port Director’s remarks of military members being force multipliers for CBP. His team introduced Private Tessa Gragg, a new member of the Arizona National Guard with only a year-in service, who is proudly serving Operation Guardian Support inspecting commercial vehicle cargo for contraband, proper labeling, and compliance with U.S. regulations.
Her teammate in vehicle inspections, Specialist Kimberly Burdick is a Guardsmen from Wisconsin, who said she wasn’t sure what to expect when she arrived, but was greeted by a welcoming Office of Field Operations who immediately made her feel like a valued member of the team.
“This is all about teamwork,” said Burdick, “What we’re doing here is important and it feels good to be a part of this mission protecting the U.S.”
Operation Guardian Support has proven to be a success along the Southwest Border, with National Guard personnel deployed to areas of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has a decades-long successful partnership with the Department of Defense and its National Guard.

Evolution of drug smuggling at the border
There are three ports of entry that make up the Nogales Port of Entry, facilitating traffic between the United States and Mexico -- the Mariposa Port of Entry, the DeConcini Port of Entry, and the Morley Port of Entry. Officers at these ports of entry are challenged by drug smugglers every day, and are consistently finding ways with new means of smugglers trying to get them across the border.

SUMMARY
=======
Nogales is a city in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. The population was 20,837 at the 2010 census and estimated 20,407 in 2014. Nogales forms part of the larger Tucson-Nogales combined statistical area, with a total population of 1,027,683 as of the 2010 Census. The city is the county seat of Santa Cruz County.Nogales, Arizona, borders the city of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, and is Arizona's largest international border community. The southern terminus of Interstate 19 is located in Nogales at the U.S.-Mexico border; the highway continues south into Mexico as Mexico Federal Highway 15. The highways meeting in Nogales are a major road intersection in the CANAMEX Corridor, connecting Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Nogales also is the beginning of the Arizona Sun Corridor, an economically important trade region stretching from Nogales to Prescott, including the Tucson and Phoenix metropolitan areas.
Nogales is home to four international ports of entry, including the Morley Pedestrian Port of Entry, Dennis Deconcini Pedestrian and Passenger Vehicle Port of Entry, Nogales International Airport, and the Mariposa Port of Entry. The Nogales-Mariposa Port of Entry has twelve passenger vehicle inspection lanes and eight commercial inspection lanes.
Due to its location on the border and its major ports of entry, Nogales funnels an estimated $30 billion worth of international trade into Arizona and the United States, per year, in fresh produce and manufactured goods from Mexico and the world through the deep sea port in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico. This trade helps to support tens of thousands of jobs and the overall economies in Ambos Nogales and throughout the American state of Arizona and the Mexican state of Sonora. The seizure of a record amount of fentanyl by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection on February 2, 2019 occurred at the Port of Nogales in Arizona.Known in O'odham as Nowa:l, (which translates as prickly pear cactus or the Spanish nopal) the name Nogales means black walnuts in Spanish, and the walnut trees which once grew abundantly in the mountain pass between the cities of Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Sonora, can still be found around the town.
