A spokesperson for San Diego County District 5 Supervisor Jim Desmond told ABC 10News more than 2,000 migrants have been dropped off in the county this week.
At the Iris Transit Center, migrants are getting their first taste of the United States. The spokesperson said 292 migrants were dropped off there by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Sunday Morning alone.
Local migrant shelters say they are at capacity, which has triggered the street releases in the county. "One of the best moments we see is when they're finally able to tell their family that they're here," Lindsay Toczylowski, an immigration attorney, said.
