The mayor of Yuma, Arizona, has declared a state of emergency, saying his city doesn't have the resources to respond as the Border Patrol releases a growing number of migrants from custody.
"There's an imminent threat of having too many migrant releases into our community, and it's above our capacity as a community to sustain," Yuma Mayor Doug Nicholls said as he announced the measure Tuesday.Nicholls told reporters he's looking for a"FEMA-type response" to help his city deal with the influx."FEMA shows up at disasters all the time. This isn't a natural disaster, but it is a disaster either way," he said.
