On Sunday, April 14, 120 asylum-seeking refugees were dropped off by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Tucson Bus Station between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. The United Methodist Church was able to arrive and take the first 30 migrants to the Campus Christian Center and the United Methodist Church on Park Avenue and transported the rest later.

Hannah Bonner, a minister of the United Methodist Church, said the dropoff on Sunday felt like a deliberate attempt to create chaos.

“For days we had been getting warnings that ICE & Border Patrol would be delivering people to the streets rather than the shelters, in what we know is the ongoing attempt to create the illusion of crisis and surge here on the border,” Bonner wrote.
