Nicholls asserts the influx is overwhelming federal authorities and creating a humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n<p>In a Thursday press release, the mayor says federal personnel are struggling to manage the flow of migrants into the community and at official facilities. According to Nichols, there have been reports of more than 6,000 migrants attempting to travel through the Yuma area.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yumaaz.gov\/home\/showpublisheddocument\/4404\">emergency proclamation <\/a>makes the city eligible to receive state and federal funding for aid, relief, and assistance to mitigate the crisis, according to Nicholls.
