"Migrant shelter closes after no new arrivals in San Diego."
LOL It's a little more nuanced than BOAZ would enjoy:
According to multiple sources, the Jewish Family Service of San Diego, which operated a regional migrant shelter for over six years, is closing its facility and laying off 115 employees[1][2][4].
The closure is attributed to two main factors:
1. Changes in federal funding and policy under the Trump administration.
2. A complete halt in new asylum-seeking arrivals since January 20, 2025, when President Trump took office and shut down the CBP One app[1][2].
The CBP One app, which was used during the Biden administration to schedule appointments for migrants to enter the U.S. legally, was discontinued by the Trump administration[1][2]. As a result, the shelter has not received any new asylum-seeking families or individuals since that date.
The organization stated, "With migrants no longer able to use the CBP One application, the San Diego Rapid Response Network (SDRRN) Migrant Shelter Services, operated by JFS, has not received new asylum-seeking families and individuals released from short-term federal custody into our care"[1][2].
The Jewish Family Service of San Diego is now shifting its focus to providing pro bono legal services and community support resources[1][4].
A majority of likely voters (55%) support access to asylum at the U.S. southern border, with only 35% opposing it[9]. This suggests that despite political rhetoric, there is still significant support for the asylum process.
