San Diego County is currently experiencing a situation where a large number of migrants are being mass released onto the streets due to a lack of funding at the city shelter. Reports indicate that the shelter has run out of resources, leading to the mass release of migrants onto the streets of San Diego.
The San Diego Police Department has confirmed the mass release of migrants, with multiple buses arriving to drop off over 300 individuals in the span of an hour and a half. The migrants come from various countries, including Africa, Guyana, China, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Peru, and more.
NGO buses have been observed picking up the migrants and transporting them to airports and other transit centers. Some migrants have also taken taxis to their destinations, with many stating that they are heading to sanctuary cities across the United States, such as New York, Chicago, New Jersey, Denver, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and Atlanta.
Volunteers on the ground have informed the migrants that the transportation services are free and that they will be taken to their desired locations. While it is believed that NGOs are funding these transportation services, there is a possibility that taxpayer money, including FEMA reimbursements, is also involved in facilitating the movement of migrants.
The mass releases in San Diego County are expected to continue, with reports suggesting that over 300 more migrants will be released later in the day. This situation highlights the challenges faced by local authorities and organizations in managing the influx of migrants and providing necessary support and resources.
