Shelters and other groups assisting immigrants are bracing for a surge of people needing help after the end of Title 42.
On a normal day, workers at the Galilee Center in Riverside County see about 150 immigrants who are in need of clothes, food and a place to stay for a night or two.
Title 42 resulted in millions of expulsions of migrants since the policy was put in place in March 2020. The policy was criticized by some lawmakers, including then-California Sen. Kamala Harris, who called it a “power grab” and attempt to restrict immigration during the pandemic.Now that the policy has expired, organizations that provide services to immigrants — such as shelter, food or legal aid — are bracing for impact.
“We’re prepared,” Gomez said, but there’s always a need for more. “We’re running out of sweatpants and underwear.”In the Inland Empire, the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, an organization of about 35 groups that provide services for immigrants in the area, is organizing an emergency meeting next week to assess the possible effects of the end of Title 42 on services, including temporary housing, food, clothes and legal aid, a spokesperson said.
Cambria Tortorelli, chief executive of the International Institute of Los Angeles, which provides legal services to people seeking asylum, mainly works with refugees who have applied from their home countries and entered the U.S. legally. The organization also works with some immigrants from Afghanistan who entered the country from the southern border.
The center can usually handle about 25 cases at one time, and it is already handling double the amount, he said.
