"In the Border Patrol's Yuma sector, which stretches from California deep into the Arizona desert, half of the apprehensions this year have been of children — the highest share on the U.S. southern border.”

“The Democratic-led County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to spend up to $25,000 to cover shelter utilities if [the situation at the border] expands.”
