San Diego County's Republican-dominated board of supervisors filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, claiming policy changes in the way the federal government treats asylum seekers have strained the city's finances and health services.
The Trump administration ended the so-called Safe Release program in October, which gave asylum seekers who had crossed the border assistance in reaching final destinations with family members and friends, the lawsuit noted.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was named in the suit along with leadership at agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection and the Border Patrol. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment. In Nogales, Arizona, officials formally condemned the installation of six rows of razor wire the military installed on the U.S. side of existing border fence in the city, saying they feared it made residents less safe. In El Paso, Texas, county officials passed a resolution saying they were disillusioned by President Donald Trump's claims about the supposed lawlessness and dangers of the border.
"We have an obligation to take care of these families who have gone through so much - we can't let them become victims of human trafficking or become homeless," said Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, a newly elected Democrat whose district includes the shelter."This is the federal government's responsibility. This crisis is being created entirely by Donald Trump's inhumane immigration policies.
