The number of migrants coming through Pima County could increase dramatically and overwhelm existing local services without significant federal support, due to the planned lifting of public health policy Title 42 in May, says a memo Tuesday to the Board…
Title 42 was enacted at the beginning of the pandemic, and allows the federal government to immediately expel some migrants from the country. In Arizona this fiscal year, more than 27% of the 221,400 migrant apprehensions at the border resulted in an immediate expulsion under Title 42.
People are also reading… Migrants who come into Pima County can receive services that include temporary respite, food, hygiene items, baby supplies, shower facilities, a change of clothes and help contacting family or sponsors and facilitating transportation arrangements to leave Tucson and get to sponsors elsewhere in the United States. The county also provides COVID-19 testing of all arriving migrants, medical support and isolation for those who test positive.
Also on May 11, the federal government is ending the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, which could affect various community assets and partners, including hospitals losing the flexibility to expand capacity to respond to surges, the memo says.
