On Friday, Border Patrol began leaving some migrants at bus stations around San Diego County because shelters had reached capacity
The mass flight cancellations that have disrupted travel plans for many around the United States are continuing to complicate the situation in San Diego for arriving asylum seekers and the people who work to support them.
“CBP works diligently to ensure that releases are conducted in a safe manner and that all noncitizens released from custody are provided essential support upon release and may access transportation to continue to their destinations,” an unnamed Customs and Border Protection spokesperson told the Union-Tribune. “All individuals released from CBP to continue their immigration process are screened for national security and public safety concerns.
The San Diego Rapid Response Network Migrant Shelter said on Tuesday that it is receiving up to 300 asylum seekers daily. “We call on the federal government to prioritize rebuilding our country’s broken asylum and immigration systems, including improved processes for migrant shelter services across the border region,” the steering committee said Tuesday. “All levels of government must work together to welcome and meet the needs of all asylum seekers arriving in San Diego.”
