US EditionSan Diego Migrant Processing Center Closes Amid Decrease in Daily Arrests
- U.S. Border Patrol dismantled the San Diego Sector Soft Sided Facility, a temporary migrant processing center holding 1,000 people, in May 2025.
- Officials attributed the closure to a more than 96 percent decrease in illegal border encounters since January 2025, following heightened enforcement measures.
- The decrease in daily arrests fell from approximately 1,090 to 38 migrants in March 2025, and the reduction led to layoffs at migrant shelters near San Diego.
- On May 25, Jeffrey Stalnaker, the San Diego Sector’s top Border Patrol official, announced that the sharp decline in illegal crossings has rendered the 1,000-person processing center unnecessary, leading to its closure.
- The dismantling frees resources for redirected border security efforts and suggests continued operational control due to reduced migrant crossings.
