A migrant shelter in San Diego is shutting down after receiving no new arrivals following the Trump administration’s termination of the CBP One app on Inauguration Day.

The Jewish Family Service of San Diego, which has operated a regional migrant shelter for over six years, announced it will close its facility and lay off more than 100 employees due to “changes in federal funding and policy” under the new administration. In a statement, the organization said its transition shelter, which is used to provide medical screenings, food, legal assistance, and travel coordination, has not received a single migrant since President Donald Trump’s inauguration day, according to a report by the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The lack of new migrants coincides with the Trump administration’s ending of the CBP One app. The app, originally designed for trade and commercial purposes, was repurposed under the Biden administration to allow migrants to schedule asylum interviews at ports of entry and be released into the US while awaiting updates on their claims.

The organization also noted that it has not received any of the $22 million it was awarded last year under the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Shelter and Services Program.

Once the money stopped flowing they no longer cared.

FEMA’s Shelter and Services program is supposed to be for those American citizens displaced and harmed by natural disasters. Not to house illegal immigrants and provide them a pre-paid debit card.

No wonder there was no funds for WNC Helene victims.

Once the USAID money gets cut off 90% of the illegals will self-deport.

The do gooder organized religious leeches pretending to care for them, can also find real work.

[Ex gun maker.]

You are an optimist.
I would guess less than 30%.
The libtards will keep suing, or just increase the state graft to keep buying those mail-in ballots.
Once the “Worst of the worst” are mostly gone the sob stories will run 24/7 to shame us all into letting the remaining illegals stay.
Then the money spigot turns back on, they are so “Disadvantaged” you know.

Making license plates in the prison workshop would be a good use of their time.

Feel good story of the day!

One of these in Michigan has appealed for donation money.

I had assumed they helped indigent local people with food and housing. Meaning Americans already living here. Apparently their biggest effort went to welcoming undocumented immigrants. And they had thousands “approved” and waiting to arrive to settle here. News to me as a Michigan resident.

Some interesting lines:
Council member:
“Then there’s the emotional toll of watching “an alt-right fascist government take control of our democracy,” Briggs said, saying the road ahead will be tough.”

“The city set aside a $1 million contingency fund ahead of Trump taking office to brace for potential community impacts.”

“On the economic side, we have seen billions of dollars in federal funding frozen to Michigan, and although some of that funding has been unfrozen, much is still in limbo as it is tied to conditions and new policies,” she said, saying the University of Michigan alone received $1 billion in federal funding last year.”

As to the U of Michigan fear of US money loss——
“As of fiscal year 2024, the University of Michigan’s endowment was valued at $19.2 billion. This makes it one of the largest endowments in the United States.”

Border crossings are already down drastically.

The money was creating the problems! Same with pride sickness. Oh, and the second we stop showering the Ukrainian war with money, there will be peace almost overnight.

Agreed. Border crossings could go to zero, but having 90% percentage of illegals to self-deport is wishful thinking. Oh, I'm sure Trump wanted to goad those into self-deporting. But once most of the criminal element within the illegals has been dealt with, and that won't happen overnight, then the work to remove the 10s of millions of illegals out of the country will become a lot more difficult.

They need to ramp back up, going the other way.

[Sequoyah101]

Not all that many deported but my wife claims she sees fewer of them. I guess they are laying low.

I wonder how brown the school yards in Texas are now? Too bad for the kids but they should have never been brought or born here to illegals.

[Sequoyah101]

They will pine for warmer places than Michigan. Michigan. Makes me cold just thinking about it. I’ll burn down this summer though just like always. I should build a dock with a swimming platform and sit in water up to my neck and drink tea while the catfish nibble my toes. Nah, I’d just start seeing how much I need to be doing.

[Equine1952]

All this good news could become habit forming. Another damn habit to worry about. Sheeesh!

[frank ballenger]

Just pace yourself. No use overdoing it.

Excellent!!!

LOLOL...

"Jewish Family Service of San Diego will close its facility and lay off more than 100 employees due to 'changes in federal funding and policy.'”

JFS -- let me get my violin player to play for you...

Wow --> "The San Diego shelter 'has not received a single migrant since President Donald Trump’s inauguration day.'"

That's the BEST news I've heard all day!

The author somewhat obliquely seems to blame the lack of illegals on the shut down of the "CBP One" mobile app. That's ridiculous. It is all due to Trump and Homan getting incredibly serious on the border and deporting illegals.

That execrable phony K Harris had FOUR YEARS as "border czar" and did zilch, zero, nada. Trump has been President for three weeks and look at these results. It's amazing what competent, pro-American leadership can accomplish.

[Ex gun maker.]

Yes, but that has almost nothing to do with Deportations.
Which are going so slowly that four years will not make a significant dent.
