Migrants in danger under remain in mexicoA program to fund legal representation for migrants facing removal proceedings in San Diego county begins today. San Diego is the first southern border county in the U-S with such a program. County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer originally introduced the plan about a year ago.
The 50-year-old man ended up in the Migrant Protection Protocols program March 4. Ever since, he’s been scared and on the run, terrified of attracting attention of Tijuana’s criminal element. “Pues yo veo que este programa se trata de cansar la gente. Que renuncie el programa. Esa es a idologia de este programa.”
The scarcity of legal representation is a huge problem in Tijuana. None of the people I interviewed at the shelter have been able to find a lawyer. They do get a piece of paper at immigration court with numbers to call for free legal representation.Julia Neusner is an attorney with Human Rights First. She recently visited the same shelter.“So people are really just afraid to leave and being stuck in this little shelter all the time is really weighing on folks’ mental health.
Reichlin-Melnick says migrants enrolled in MPP will be better off than under Title 42 because at least have a chance to start an asylum case. Yet, they’ll face an incredibly difficult process under MPP. The number of state-required vaccinations depends on a student's age.. COVID-19 vaccinations are not on that list, at least not for the upcoming school year.Those without medical insurance can get their kids vaccinated at a county public health center free of charge.Every year, the San Diego Housing Commission increases the dollar amount of the housing vouchers it issues to low-income families.
