2:38Now PlayingArizona National Guard troops being sent to the border region will focus initially on the Yuma area but could eventually expand to other areas, Gov. Doug Ducey said Wednesday.
The Republican governor traveled to Yuma to renew his frequent criticism of Democratic President Joe Biden's administration, which he says isn't doing enough to address an increase in migration or help local communities.
Ducey on Tuesday said he's calling in 250 members of the Guard at the state's expense to free up law enforcement officers. The Guard can help with medical operations at detention centers, install and maintain border cameras, collect data from public safety cameras and analyze satellite imagery for current smuggling trends.
The announcement came on the same day U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) held an open house at a new tent-like migrant processing center in the border community of Yuma. It's the first of two planned in Arizona to process and temporarily shelter a growing number of asylum seekers.
A similar structure is going up in Tucson. There was no immediate response for comment from CBP officials. The Republican governor has quarreled with the Biden administration over immigration issues.
CBP is turning away most adult migrants attempting to enter the U.S. under a public health order issued at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the Biden administration is allowing unaccompanied minors and some families to remain, at least temporarily, while authorities determine whether they can stay through the asylum process or under another legal category.
