ICE told Arizona Sheriffs it has run out of detention space to handle the number of migrants illegally crossing the border and presenting themselves at ports of entry. This lack of housing and the Flores Settlements 20-day release requirement forced ICE to release a large number of family units" in Arizona all at once.
Yuma County Sheriff Leon Wilmot told Fox News, ICE hasnt been able to keep up with individuals coming up the border from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, because theyre overwhelmed. Theyre releasing them out of the front door of their facilities Each of our communities are going to be faced with this crisis and one thing sheriffs have said is that what goes on on the border won't stay at the border, it's throughout the U.S.
As of October 15th, ICE began releasing family units without approved post-release plans.
ICE released about 800 family members in Arizona last week and 200 in Yuma alone. With a population just over 200,000, Yuma has far fewer services to assist the families. Those released to Phoenix and Tucson typically find more help but the large numbers strained their ability to cope.

Deport them ASAP!
By court orders they are.
Nope, at this point Trump is to blame. He needs to act NOW
