An Arizona mayor anticipates getting more federal help to transport illegal immigrants out of his overwhelmed city, where he declared a state of emergency last month.
During a visit to Washington this week, Yuma Mayor Douglas Nicholls met with President Donald Trump, acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan, and members of Arizona’s congressional delegation.
In the Border Patrol’s Yuma sector, apprehensions of migrant families are more than three times higher so far in fiscal year 2019, which began in October. The number has shot up from 6,487 apprehensions in the same period the year before to 24,194, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security.
