San Diego Residents Share Backyards with Nightly Migrant Passersby

Homeowners near San Diego, California, are experiencing a surge in migrants crossing through their properties, with some even camping out. The influx has worsened since the expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era measure that allowed authorities to turn away migrants at the border. Border Patrol agents struggle to communicate with the migrants, who come from over 40 countries. Homeowners feel frustrated and helpless, as they are unable to force the migrants off their property due to local law enforcement restrictions. Volunteers and local residents are providing aid and meals to the migrants, but the government's response to the crisis remains uncertain.
