Opening Statement as Prepared for Delivery by Chair Maggie Hassan Emerging Threats and Spending Oversight Subcommittee Hearing: Addressing the Evolving Threat of Illegal Drug Trafficking to Our Communities March 14, 2022 Good morning. I’m Senator Maggie Hassan, Chair of the Emerging Threats and Spending Oversight subcommittee on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and I would like to welcome you to our field hearing examining the evolving threat of drug trafficking in New Hampshire and communities across the United States. Too often, the drugs flowing into New Hampshire originate outside our country – and cross into the United States at our southern border. I have visited the southern border several times as a senator, where law enforcement officials discussed with me how drug cartels smuggle drugs into the country. Those same drugs end up here in the Granite State – and that is one of many reasons why we must secure our southern border, making sure that our border security and law enforcement personnel have the resources and support that they need. As a member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, I have worked with my colleagues from both parties on solutions to strengthen border security and ensure that we target illegal drug trafficking, increase investments in border security technology, and improve infrastructure for Border Patrol stations and land ports of entry. As part of those efforts, we have invested billions in border security infrastructure and technology to gain operational control of the southern border, including $3 billion for Border Patrol stations and land ports of entry in the bipartisan infrastructure deal that I helped negotiate and pass into law last year. To give Customs and Border Protection agents the support that they need, I supported hiring thousands more agents and investing in personnel and training. And I helped introduce a bill that was signed into law to crack down on illegal drug trafficking by equipping Customs and Border Protection with state-of-the-art technology to detect fentanyl. We know that we have more work to do. That is why today we will hear from our witnesses about how criminal organizations use ever-evolving smuggling tactics to evade detection, and about the work of law enforcement and border security agencies to stop drug trafficking. We will also discuss what additional measures Congress can take to support law enforcement and promote counter-narcotics programs to help make our communities safer. Our hearing will address the ongoing threat of heroin, fentanyl, and opioid trafficking, and will also address the rising threat that methamphetamine poses to our communities. Methamphetamine has contributed to increasing incidents of violent crime and dangerous encounters with community members and law enforcement, in addition to overdose deaths. ↗

⚠️ minorS2vs. stated position on Border Security & Drug Trafficking ▾

She voted to redirect ICE funding to a child-care block grant program, diverting resources from immigration enforcement despite her stated support for robust border security funding; she likely framed it as a domestic-priorities trade-off.

🔴 significantSJRES103vs. stated position on Abortion ▾

She voted to advance a resolution disapproving a VA rule expanding reproductive health services for veterans, which would roll back access to abortion-related care—at odds with her stated pro-abortion-rights stance, though she may argue the rule had unrelated flaws.$
