SOMERTON, Arizona (Border Report) — Fernando Quiroz and his band of volunteers with the Arizona-California Humanitarian Coalition have noticed fewer migrants entering the U.S. in recent weeks near Yuma, Arizona. This is an area where, traditionally, 300 to 500 asylum seekers cross the border nightly. It's also the place where former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, without federal government approval, put up hundreds of shipping containers to seal gaps along the border barrier to prevent the flow of migrants back in August.
