There has been a sharp rise in the number of Central American families and unaccompanied minors entering the country illegally along the border with Mexico in the Yuma area of southwestern Arizona.
That area had been one of the quietest areas for crossings along the entire southern border.
But the recent spike suggests smuggling organizations have changed their routes to evade stepped-up immigration enforcement in Mexico, sending Central American migrants through other areas of the border beyond south Texas.
The overall surge has created such crowded conditions at federal detention centers that U.S. immigration officials have been forced to released several hundred detainees from Haiti........(SNIP)
