San Antonio City Council overwhelmingly votes to keep Migrant Resource Center open

by Michael Karlis

Every member of City Council, excluding District 10's Marc Whyte, voted Thursday to apply for $21.8 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to keep San Antonio's Migrant Resource Center in operation. Activity at the center has dropped in recent months for reasons including Texas' harsh border policies and the Mexican government's crackdown on migrants passing through the country. Indeed, only 1,705 migrants have arrived at the center this month, one of the lowest arrival rates since it opened in summer 2022, according to city data. Citing the lower numbers, Whyte — council's most conservative member — called on his colleagues to close the Migrant Resource Center.
