So far, the state, Tucson-area governments and charities have managed to transport and house migrants released into southern Arizona by border authorities. But the system here is stressed.
Tim Steller Local governments and charities have been tested, but so far Tucson shelters have been able to handle a sharp increase in migrants released by border authorities.
"First thing morning, folks start moving out, and we help them circulate through that process. At the same time, hundreds more folks are arriving." Her fear is that the city, which is the backup provider of shelter, will run out of beds. At that point, street releases are likely. As a result of the ruling, Border Patrol must detain people longer, meaning its facilities are remaining overfilled, but the releases are happening at a pace is manageable for local authorities.
