JFS San Diego Migrant Shelter Closes Due to Policy Changes, 100 Employees Laid Off

The Jewish Family Service (JFS) of San Diego migrant shelter closes, citing changes in federal funding and policy under the Trump administration.

Since the shutdown of the CBP One app, which allowed migrants to make appointments to enter the U.S., the shelter has not received any new arrivals.

The facility will pause operations, laying off 115 employees.

JFS is shifting its focus to providing legal services and community support.
