As a journalist, Carter contributed to Fox News and covered the border extensively, especially when immigration laws were more relaxed under the Biden administration.
Because of the enormous amount of drug and human trafficking that is taking place, she called for stricter border regulations.
In a post on X, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., congratulated Carter. Blackburn said the new drug czar would “fight tirelessly” to keep Americans safe, and he praised Carter’s efforts on the border.
“Congratulations to @SaraCarterDC on becoming Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy! Sara is an expert on the border and the crisis it has created for drug trafficking. This issue has put Tennesseans in harm’s way for far too long, but Sara will fight relentlessly as Drug Czar to keep our loved ones safe,” Blackburn wrote.
