ICE releases detainees late at night in San Ysidro without support, advocates say

Advocates working with detainees report that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been releasing over 100 individuals ordered freed by judges from the Otay Mesa Detention Center.

These individuals are reportedly being dropped off in San Ysidro late at night without any support or resources to assist them upon release.

The practice has raised concerns among those who assist detainees, who say the released people are left on the streets in unfamiliar areas.

The situation highlights ongoing challenges faced by detainees upon release in the San Diego area, particularly in border communities like San Ysidro.
