Pima County, AZ, closes migrant shelters due to decreased asylum seekers and unstable federal funding.

Pima County, Arizona, will close its migrant shelters due to a drop in asylum seekers and uncertain federal funding. The Trump administration's policies led to a halt in releasing asylum seekers, causing the centers to empty out. The county receives federal funds only when shelters are in use, and recent changes suggest potential pauses in funding, leading to financial strain and the closure of the facilities by January 26, 2025.
