Aug. 8 marked the second time House Republicans held a hearing in Arizona – the first was in Yuma back in February.

Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels testified in front of the Joint Subcommittee field hearing, titled"We have to work together collectively. Having Congressional people who set federal law hearing us again is just another step in the right direction," Dannels said.
