Secretary of Homeland Security to tour processing center in Yuma

Secretary of Homeland Security, Kevin McAleenan is set to visit Yuma on Wednesday where he will take a tour of the soft-sided facility that is housing hundreds of migrants.

Secretary McAleenan has recently toured other detention facilities in border towns like McAllen, Texas where the sole focus was to speak on the border crisis.

Other political figures in the area like Yuma Mayor Doug Nicholls, paid a visit to El Paso, Texas in July.
