- ➤ County officials said they are monitoring potential federal grant cuts that could affect nearly 100 jobs tied to Yuma's current $190 million in funding — and they are planning a careful budget for fiscal year 2025 to 2026. Board member Tony Reyes warned that any reductions could harm community programs that depend on this money. KYMA
- ➤ U.S. Customs and Border Protection is enforcing a policy that lets officers search travelers’ cell phones and laptops without a warrant or suspicion—immigration attorney Darius Amiri said this practice has led to more negative encounters for visa and green card holders.
