U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the closure of a migrant processing facility located near San Diego, California. According to CBP officials, the decision to close the facility was prompted by an "unprecedented drop in apprehensions" at the U.S.-Mexico border in the San Diego area. The agency stated that the decrease in migrant crossings made the processing center unnecessary.
The closure comes amid ongoing debates about border security and immigration policies. While CBP has not released specific data on the extent of the decrease in apprehensions, the term "unprecedented" suggests a substantial change in border activity. The facility's closure could lead to adjustments in how migrants are processed in other areas along the border. Further details about the future use of the facility have not yet been released.
