San Diego, CA - A migrant shelter in San Diego is closing its doors after experiencing a sharp decline in the number of asylum seekers needing assistance. The shelter, which opened to provide temporary housing and support to migrants awaiting processing, will now revert to its originally intended purpose. Sources familiar with the situation attribute the decrease in migrant numbers to recent changes in immigration enforcement and policies implemented by the Trump administration.
The shelter provided critical services, including temporary housing, meals, and legal aid referrals, to thousands of migrants over the past several years. However, with the significant reduction in arrivals, the need for the shelter's services has diminished. Local officials are working to ensure a smooth transition for any remaining migrants and to repurpose the facility effectively. The closure highlights the fluctuating nature of migration patterns and the impact of policy changes on border communities.
