House Dem calls for answers from Mayorkas over denial of border funding extension to Arizona county
Fox News
A House Democrat who represents an Arizona district is criticizing the Biden administration for denying a funding extension for aid to help a county deal with the migrant surge.
The money was given to the county as part of the Emergency Food and Shelter Program-Humanitarian (ESFP-H) which has since been phased out and replaced by the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), but local governments are still permitted to spend the money given under the prior program. Gallego says Pima County still has $5.2 million remaining to spend for Fiscal Year 22, but that its request for an extension of the period in which it can spend the funds was denied for a second time by DHS.
