The sheriff of Arizona’s easternmost border county is calling on state and federal officials for help with the sudden daily releases of more than a hundred migrants seeking asylum in the U.S., including families with small children.
Douglas is a city of about 16,000 people on Arizona’s border with Mexico. Dannels said the migrants entered the U.S. at other locations along the U.S.-Mexico border, but didn’t specify where or why remote Cochise County was chosen as the location to release them.
When contacted, CBP did not address specific questions about why Cochise County was chosen for releases, but said it is “working according to plan and as part of our standard processes” to get people quickly out of detention facilities before they become overcrowded.
