Hobbs and Mayorkas are also slated to meet with humanitarian workers from Casa Alitas, a Tucson shelter that has been tapped for resources recently, providing housing and supplies to legal asylum seekers in Southern Arizona.
Before heading to the Arizona-Sonora border for a tour of the Mariposa Port of Entry in Nogales, the two officials will meet with Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents for a briefing.
“My administration is proactively addressing the myriad of issues with our southern border, and want to hear from organizations on the ground regarding how the administration can better support efforts to coordinate and collaborate on processing these individuals in the most humane and efficient manner,” said Governor Hobbs.
"I was able to share the work the City of Tucson is doing in partnership with Pima County, Casa Alitas and other non-profit partners. I expressed concern of any consideration of restarting Trump-era policy of family detention, while advocating for needed funding and resources," said Romero.
