Gov. Doug Ducey ordered flags at all state buildings to be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset Thursday to honor Tucson sector U.S. Border Patrol Agent Daniel P. Cox, who died in a car crash on Saturday near Sells.
"Arizona is devastated by the loss of Border Patrol Agent Daniel Cox,” Ducey said in a statement. “My prayers are with Agent Cox’s loved ones and Southern Arizona’s law enforcement community at this difficult time. I’ve ordered state flags be lowered to half-staff in honor of his life, service and bravery.”
Cox, a supervisory Border Patrol agent, was first identified as the agent who died in a head-on collision crash by a Tucson Sector Border Patrol union NBPC 2544.

WASHINGTON – Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego joined other mayors and governors at the White House Wednesday to push for the administration’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan, a measure she has said is needed to reverse decades of “massive underinvestment.”
The meeting was part of a White House push for the plan that includes scheduled visits to Arizona by Cabinet secretaries Thursday to talk about infrastructure needs, as some Senate Republicans are balking at the overall size of the measure.

Telling stories amongst each other is a tradition that goes back hundreds, even thousands of years. It defines who we are as an Indigenous people and even shares our vulnerability and humanness. In community and public health (CPH) courses at Tohono O’odham Community College (TOCC) students share their stories of medical issues, hurt, pain, loss, and the occasional great experience that they may have had at a nearby Indian Health Services Clinic or health center. Their shared experiences, both positive and negative, are what drive them to purse truth and answer a call to serve our people.
