SAN DIEGO: "After the migrants stepped off a bus in San Diego, Border Patrol agents ushered them across the street to a parking lot, then left. The migrants stood there, asking questions: When were the agents coming back? Hadn’t the agents promised them a hotel room for the night? The Border Patrol agents had dropped them off with no explanation Wednesday around 6 p.m. by the Iris Avenue trolley station. With more Border Patrol buses expected to drop off migrants at San Diego trolley stops over the next few weeks and groups of migrants being held in open areas between border walls, the federal government is leaning into controversial tactics to lower the number of people held in Border Patrol stations along the U.S./Mexico border. Many migrants will probably be left to sleep outdoors, though volunteers are trying to help.

Only about 17% of migrants crossed the border in California in July, according to CBP data. With border areas in Texas and Arizona receiving much higher numbers of migrants, Border Patrol officials have been flying and busing new arrivals to San Diego for processing.

California officials have asked shelters to prioritize migrants including families with young children, those with medical conditions and members of the LGBTQ+ community. In late December 2022, when winter storms forced flight cancellations and local shelters couldn’t move people out fast enough, the Border Patrol similarly chose to release people to San Diego trolley stations.

On Wednesday night at the parking lot near the trolley station, the migrants from the Border Patrol bus conversed in Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic and other languages. Many are seeking asylum, and Border Patrol officials have allowed them to stay in the country until judges hear their cases. Their court dates are mostly next spring and summer. After that, a judge will determine whether they are eligible for asylum."
