Congressman James Moylan is requesting President Trump include Guam's shores in the executive order where he declared a state of emergency at the southern border.

In a letter to the new Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Moylan asked for her assistance in addressing the border deficiencies in Guam and other U.S. Pacific island territories.

“With strong ties to many prominent mafias in every continent, the most notable example being the triad from the PRC, this connection and trade are used to produce highly addictive and deadly drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine. Unfortunately, a leg in this trafficking route is Guam. While the southern border has been the priority of the Trump administration, and rightfully so, I urge you to also recognize the threat hidden in the Pacific by providing more DHS personnel, resources, and equipment for Guam,” said Moylan.
