YUMA — On April 4, 2022, Arizona Human Trafficking Council Co-Chairs Director Maria Cristina Fuentes and Claire Sechler Merkel joined Director Tim Roemer and the United States Border Patrol-Yuma Sector to tour the southern border and discuss ongoing efforts to prevent, identify and respond to trafficking.

We appreciate the work being done by Director Tim Roemer, USBP Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Chris Clem, and their dedicated staff to protect and serve our communities along the southern border. Thank you for the briefing and for the critical work you do to keep our communities safe.

In the midst of the border crisis, continuing to serve and support victims is essential. GOYFF is grateful for the incredible team at Amberly's Place and the community of Yuma for continuing to support children and families in need.
