Description
A San Diego County-funded migrant center received 1,500 migrants Thursday, the highest number its received so far in just one day.
"We thought a couple weeks ago when we got 780 [migrants] it was the highest we ever had. Yesterday, we thought 800 was the highest. But we were informed early yesterday it would be 1,500 today," said Kathy Lembo, CEO of SBCS, the organization running the center.
The center is located in the mid-city area. Lembo asked us not to disclose its location for security reasons. SBCS picks up the migrants from processing centers in Otay Mesa where they've already been screened by border patrol.
"We were just on the phone with border patrol, and they see the numbers remaining at 1000 a day, for the next couple of days," said Lembo.
