TUCSON, Ariz. — It’s no secret that federal money used to assist asylum seekers entering the country is running dry. Here in Tucson, city leaders are adamant that the federal government fix what they’re calling a federal issue.

Meanwhile, all eyes are on Capitol Hill as lawmakers work to avoid a government shutdown by Friday as funding for the Department of Homeland Security holds up negotiations. DHS will play a key role in potentially securing new funding for counties like Pima County, which have processed nearly half a million migrants since 2019 according to a Pima County spokesperson.With the city officially awaiting the next move in Washington, D.C., migrant shelters like Casas Alitas told KGUN 9 on Monday that they’re preparing to move forward the best way they can.
