YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Migrants who are seeking asylum are still being housed in a Yuma hotel while they wait for their court date.
They can only stay at the Wingate by Wyndham for 2 to 3 days and the hotel is not available for guests, according to Mayor Doug Nicholls.
"When a family arrives, they're COVID tested and then they're given some instructions. Generally, they need to be out of the facility within 72 hours and that's to the host family wherever that is in the country; however, Endeavors has told me that their goal is to get everyone out within 48 hours," Mayor Nicholls explained.
