Tucson is bracing for street releases of migrants

Officials in Tucson are bracing for street releases of migrants in their community as federal funding dries up at the end of March. It comes after an unprecedented effort to stave this off. Advocates have been working hard to shelter newly arrived migrants in Tucson, but now, Pima County’s migrant aid effort is facing a funding cliff and county officials are sounding the alarm.

Emily Bregel is covering the story for the Arizona Daily Star and she joined The Show to talk more about it.
