A migrant shelter in San Diego has officially closed its doors. The shelter, which provided temporary housing and support for migrants, stopped accepting new arrivals. As a result, more than 100 employees have lost their jobs.

The shelter’s closure is tied to changes in policies under the Trump administration. These changes have reduced the number of migrants arriving at the border, meaning fewer people need the shelter’s services. Without enough migrants to support, the shelter could no longer stay open.

This shutdown has left many workers in a tough spot. Over 100 employees, including staff who helped with housing, food, and other services, are now looking for new jobs. For some, this shelter was their main source of income, and its closure has created uncertainty for their futures.

The shelter’s closure also raises questions about what will happen to migrants who need help in the future. With fewer resources available, it’s unclear where they will go for support. Advocates for migrants are concerned that this could lead to more people struggling to find safe places to stay.

While the shelter’s shutdown is a big change for San Diego, it reflects broader shifts in how the U.S. is handling migration. Policies under the Trump administration have focused on limiting the number of migrants entering the country. This has had a direct impact on shelters like the one in San Diego, which relied on a steady flow of migrants to operate.

For now, the focus is on helping the laid-off employees find new opportunities and ensuring that migrants have access to the support they need. The closure of this shelter is a reminder of how policy changes can affect real people—both those seeking help and those providing it.
