“It was wrong. There were children they’re shooting tear gas at them. That ain’t right. Trump is the one that is causing all of this. It’s his fault, I think,” said Richard, Yuma resident.

As News 11 has reported for weeks, there has been an influx in the number of illegal immigrants crossing into our area.
