More than 1,500 migrants dropped off on San Diego streets, many waiting at airport
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) More than 1,500 migrants were released from Border Patrol custody to a San Ysidro bus stop in just a span of three days, according to San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond
.
It s disgraceful for our country and what we ve become and the fact that this is how we treat immigrants, Desmond said. Border Patrol is their Uber, San Diego is their travel agent.
The street releases come after San Diego s taxpayer funded $6 million migrant processing center closed last week.
Desmond said San Diegans should have never been paying for it, but that the center ran out of money in just 4.5 months, going through about $1.5 million per month.

The welcome center fed migrants, helped them charge their phones and have a place to be until travel arrangements were finalized.
The San Diego Migrant Welcome Center has processed 81,000 migrants since October 2023.
