A new 2,200-bed migrant shelter has commenced operations in the South Bronx, New York City, despite significant opposition from local residents and officials.
The Jewish Family Service of San Diego (JFS) has announced the closure of its regional migrant shelter and the layoff of 115 employees following recent federal policy shifts. The shelter, which has operated for more than six years, provided temporary housing and resources for asylum-seeking families arriving in the U.S. However, with the Biden administration discontinuing the CBP One app on January 20, 2025, the number of new arrivals has significantly declined, forcing the shelter to shut down its operations.
