San Diego migrant shelter closes doors with numbers plummeting after Trump immigration crackdown: report
A large migrant shelter in San Diego is closing its doors as the county continues to see a drastic drop in asylum seekers since President Donald Trump took office.
As of Monday, CBS8 News San Diego reported, the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Mission Valley is returning to its original purpose and no longer serves as a migrant shelter.
The shelter was reportedly run by Catholic Charities. Fox News Digital reached out to the organization for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
This latest migrant shelter closure comes after the Jewish Family Service of San Diego announced in February it would close its center and lay off 115 employees due to “changes in federal funding and policy.”

“Jewish Family Service of San Diego (JFS) is working to meet the evolving needs of the community in response to recent and anticipated federal policy changes,” the organization previously said. “With a deep commitment to its core value of ‘Welcome the Stranger,’ JFS is focusing its immigration efforts on providing pro bono legal services and community support resources.”
The shelter had operated in San Diego County as a regional migrant shelter for over six years prior to its closure.
The non-governmental organization (NGO) said it has not received new asylum-seeking families or individuals since the CBP One phone app went down Jan. 20.
The app, which allowed immigrants to be paroled into the U.S., was created during the first Trump administration to assist with scheduling cargo inspections.

It expanded in 2023 to allow migrants to make an appointment at a port of entry to be allowed in, initially due to an exception from the Title 42 public health order. Since May, they have had the potential to be paroled into the U.S. as part of the Biden administration’s expansion of “lawful pathways.”
U.S. Border Patrol reports that year-over-year migrant encounters with its agents in February declined by nearly 95%.
According to the Los Angeles Times, arrests have gone from more than 1,200 per day during their peak last April to 30 to 40 per day.
“To say there has been a dramatic change would be an understatement,” Jeffrey Stalnaker, acting chief patrol agent of the San Diego sector of the border, told the newspaper.

As of the end of December, more than 936,500 individuals had made appointments to be paroled through the app, according to Customs and Border Protection.
“With migrants no longer able to use the CBP One application, the San Diego Rapid Response Network (SDRRN) Migrant Shelter Services, operated by JFS, has not received new asylum-seeking families and individuals released from short-term federal custody into our care. Due to these changes in federal funding and policy, the SDRRN Migrant Shelter Services will be paused until there is better understanding of future community needs,” the statement continued.

A massive migrant shelter in Manhattan was also closed in February after New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office announced that “fewer than 45,000 migrants are in the city’s care.”
His office said that this number was “down from a high of 69,000 in January of 2024 and out of the more than 232,000 that have arrived in New York City seeking city services since the spring of 2022.”
Adams’ office said the Roosevelt Hotel shelter opened in May 2023 “during the height of the international asylum seeker crisis, with the city receiving an average of 4,000 arrivals each week.”
“The site has provided a variety of supportive services to migrants, including legal assistance, medical care and reconnection services, as well as served as a humanitarian relief center for families with children,” it added. “In recent months, the average number of registrants has decreased to approximately 350 per week. Going forward, these intake functions and supportive services will now be integrated into other areas of the system.”
The converted site, which has about 1,000 rooms, has processed more than 173,000 migrants since its opening in May 2023, according to a previous statement by the city.
The City of Denver also scaled back migrant services that same month, closing four migrant shelters and announcing it would “consolidate shelters with the goal of saving the city millions of dollars.”
During the final few weeks of Joe Biden’s presidency, around 400-500 new migrants were requesting city help every week, the New York Post reported.

Wyoming, women, and winning the right to vote: Historian presents suffragette research
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Wyoming is a state known for cowboys, rodeos, and beautiful plains, but is also known for being the first territory to grant women the right to vote, something historian Jennifer Helton explored in her Suffrage Stories presentation.
Helton was invited to highlight Wyoming’s remarkable role in the fight for women’s suffrage as part of the museum’s special America 250 Discover & Discuss series on Jun 18, but the recorded version was just released. This is a part of Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum’s goal of exploring Cheyenne and the greater state of Wyoming’s history.
Helton’s presentation not only celebrates Wyoming’s role in suffrage, but also how the state’s pioneering women helped shape the future of voting rights across the nation.
Born and raised in Wyoming, Jennifer Helton left the state at age 18 to attend college, “which left a giant, Wyoming-sized hole in my heart,” Helton said, “and the way that I fill that hole is by conducting research on women’s suffrage.”
Upon realizing that most people outside of the state of Wyoming did not know the West’s progressive role in suffrage, she became obsessed with bridging this knowledge gap and researching the history of suffrage.
“My kids would tell you it’s an obsession, not just an interest or a hobby,” Helton said. “They always joke that I have three kids, the two of them and then Esther Morris.”
During her presentation, Helton’s admiration for Esther Morris was apparent due to her trailblazing nature as suffragist, her courage to stand up to torch-bearing mobs, and abolitionist activities.
Interestingly enough, her sons were also instrumental in shaping Wyoming’s history. E.A. Slack is known as the “Father of Frontier Days” and citizens of Wyoming can thank Robert C. Morris for Cheyenne’s public library, as he brought the Carnegie Public Library System to Wyoming.

Throughout the course of her presentation, Helton revealed the results of her research by tracing the course of American history in order to highlight the intersection between Wyoming, women, and winning the right to vote.
The talk also highlighted incredible Black women such as Lucy Phillips and Nancy Phillips, some of the first Black women to vote.
As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, the museum invites visitors to explore the stories of trailblazers like the nation’s first woman justice of the peace Esther Morris, the first woman governor, the first Black women to vote, and many other extraordinary leaders who made history.
The museum is hosting its special America 250 exhibit and allows visitors to discover the stories, artifacts, and moments that connect the community to the nation’s history. The exhibit even features six U.S. presidents who visited Cheyenne or Cheyenne Frontier Days, and is currently running at the museum. For those who cannot attend, lectures such as this are filmed and provided online.
As Helton closed her lecture, she read the words of Esther Morris, “I say do all the good you can while you do live.”
“Because women like Esther Morris, like Theresa Jenkins, had the courage to stand up and do all the good that they could in their lives we are all able to live the lives that we are living today,” Helton said.
“So, we should be grateful to them, and I think we should also be asking ourselves what is it that we need to be doing so that future generations can preserve the same opportunities we have, and perhaps more.”
