The drop-offs in Oceanside have overwhelmed nonprofits who are looking to the county and federal government for support.
"We need comprehensive immigration reform. Our border is in chaos, and we need a stronger, more humane system."
San Diego's leaders have been speaking out against the policy in recent weeks. The cited cause of the drop-offs is an attempt towhere hundreds of migrants, asylum- seekers and refugees had been camping, according to a statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The drop-offs have overwhelmed nonprofits, such as Jewish Family Service, which runs the shelter system for the San Diego Rapid Response Network, a coalition that supports asylum seekers arriving in San Diego.
"Effective immediately and going forward, the shelter will limit arrivals only to the most vulnerable asylum seekers released by DHS, including those with medical conditions, families, pregnant people, LGBTQI, older adults, etc., as space allows," a statement from the nonprofit said earlier this month.Advertisement
