Arizona will continue its practice of transporting migrants who cross the southern border to other destinations in the United States, Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs announced Friday.
Hobbs announced the state would continue transporting migrants to other U.S. cities via bus and plane, continuing a controversial practice implemented by her Republican predecessor Gov. Doug Ducey last year. However, Hobbs noted that this time her administration would focus specifically on transporting migrants to their desired destinations.
"It’s something that provides support to those local communities," Hobbs said during a press conference on Friday, referring to border towns that have received an influx of migrants in recent months. "If we’re spending money to bus people, why not just get them to their final destination?”
