Description
Following the end of Title 42, more migrants are being processed for their asylum claims.
Once allowed to stay in the United States, many are initially transported to shelters in the San Diego area.
On Friday, busses carrying large groups of migrants arrived at a Mission Valley hotel, which serves as a shelter run by Catholic Charities.
Catholic Charities San Diego and Imperial County CEO Vino Pajanor tells CBS 8 over the past few days, they've received a total of more than 2,000 people at their three shelters, including at their Mission Valley location, and two more in Imperial County.
"The day before yesterday we had a thousand individuals - close to a thousand individuals get dropped off. Yesterday, it was close to about 1,200," said Pajanor.
Pajanor says between all three locations, the capacity is 1,500.
