Pima County has been able to avoid street releases of migrants while coordinating with shelters in Tucson and state agencies.
Nicole Ludden Pima County is handling more than 1,400 migrants in its shelters daily, but has so far avoided releasing asylum seekers onto Tucson streets, the Board of Supervisors was told Tuesday.
People are also reading… The daily counts of those seeking shelter in Pima County have more than tripled from the average 420 asylum seekers the county received each day the first week of May, according to county reports. The influx has come with the end of Title 42, the pandemic-era measure that allowed the federal government to expel some migrants from the country immediately that expired on May 11.
“I think it's fair to say that everything was looking good until May 11 hit, and then by the 12th, we not only had the expedited processes, but we had, I think, an increase of individuals who had been unable to cross since 2020 who may be looking forward to come across at this point. I think everyone was a little bit underwater,” Country Administrator Jan Lesher told supervisors Tuesday.
“We hope to transition into a mode in which we are only getting those individuals that the Tucson Sector of the Border Patrol drops in our community,” she said.
