Migrants seeking asylum are not breaking the law and detention of asylum-seeking families is almost never necessary. The San Diego Rapid Response Network welcomes the release of these families so they may pursue their asylum claims.
At a November 19 press conference, the ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties joined with Jewish Family Service of San Diego, San Diego Organizing Project, Catholic Charities, Casa Cornelia, International Rescue Committee and other SDRRN members to make a public appeal for donations to sustain their humanitarian efforts.
They also called on immigration authorities to release asylum-seeking families in a caring and responsible manner and to proactively communicate with nonprofit organizations that want to provide them aid.
