As the number of asylum seekers at Arizonaâs southern border increases, so too does the number of buses dropping off migrants at International Rescue Committee community shelters in Phoenix. Every day this year, between 75 and 150 asylum seekers have arrived in the Phoenix area, according to Stanford Prescott, community engagement coordinator for IRC in Arizona. These arrivals have already gone through some initial processing with federal immigration officials and have been granted the opportunity to have their case heard before a judge. But they are on their own while they wait. Often, they donât even know where they are when they get off the bus, Prescott said, and must find a way to travel to friends or family while they await a court hearing.
