Last-minute funding is expected to avert migrant street releases in Tucson as federal funding for helping migrants in Southern Arizona is set to expire on March 31. Arizona border towns face shrinking migrant services funding, leading to concerns about potential street releases. However, recent developments indicate that more money is coming to help manage migrant releases in southern Arizona, with Senator Sinema and Senator Kelly securing $650 million to support border communities. Governor Hobbs expressed relief as Pima County receives federal funding to prevent mass migrant street releases, emphasizing the importance of funding for maintaining a safe border.
Arizona’s border communities rely on the Shelter & Services Program to prevent street releases, which is why I fought to include it in the budget we just passed in the House. Glad to see FEMA & DHS have answered my & @RepRaulGrijalva’s call to swiftly move funding to Arizona. https://t.co/GsyJt2xg4b

Last week, I voted to provide our @CBP personnel funding for more equipment, resources, and overtime pay.

As soon as DHS funding passed last week, I called for it to be swiftly dispatched to AZ communities on the front lines of the border crisis. But it isn't enough. I'll keep fighting for additional funding to prevent street releases and keep Arizonans safe. https://t.co/5Jqlf98RpP
