The largest number of migrants, around 100 people, were expected to be dropped off, but by late afternoon only a few dozen had arrived. Organizations including UC San Diego’s Dollar Lunch Club and the Immigrant Defenders Law Center were at the Otay Mesa transit hub on Thursday in anticipation of the migrants’ arrival.
Jewish Family Service, which runs the San Diego Rapid Response Network’s shelter system, announced Thursday that it was stretched to capacity and will “limit arrivals only to the most vulnerable asylum seekers released by DHS,” such as families, people with medical conditions, pregnant women, LGBTQ+ people and older adults.
