Over $47 million in federal taxpayer dollars is going toward service programs in Arizona as the state continues to facilitate migrant transportation requests.
FILE - Members of the U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Customs and Border Protection organize a group of migrants as hundreds of migrants gather along the border Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2023, in Lukeville, Ariz.
The funds are part of $380 million in supplemental funds for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and United States Customs and Border Protection for the Shelter and Services program, which a news release states is used for "food, shelter, clothing, acute medical care, and transportation to noncitizens" that are waiting for their immigration court date in the U.S.
"We're going to continue deploying those funds to ensure that folks get processed, they get to their destination, which usually is not in Arizona," she continued, adding that a "complete shutdown" of services in Pima County was possible without the new round of funding.
