The impact of President Trump’s strict immigration policies is being felt across San Diego County as major migrant sheltering facilities announce their imminent closure due to a significant decrease in border crossings.
Two prominent organizations providing shelter services in the region have announced substantial workforce reductions by the end of the upcoming month. Catholic Charities will terminate 73 positions across their facilities in San Diego and Imperial counties, while Jewish Family Service plans to lay off approximately 115 staff members from its San Diego Rapid Response Network shelter, an establishment previously recognized as an exemplary model for migrant accommodation.

The ripple effects of these policy changes extend beyond the U.S. border. In Tijuana, the long-standing Casa del Migrante shelter, which has provided assistance to migrants for nearly four decades, faces operational challenges. The facility, currently housing recent deportees, is experiencing financial difficulties following the sudden cessation of U.S. foreign aid programs under Trump’s administration.
These developments come as a direct result of Trump’s reinforcement of border security measures and the reinstatement of the “Remain in Mexico” policy, which requires asylum seekers to wait outside U.S. territory while their cases are processed. These actions have led to a marked reduction in the number of individuals attempting to cross the border, effectively diminishing the need for extensive shelter networks that previously served migrants from various parts of the world traveling through Central America.
