Every day, a large influx of people seek asylum in the U.S., including Washington.
These are migrants who were lawfully admitted into the U.S. by the federal government and are waiting for adjudication of their asylum request.
"The stories of these folks leaving their homeland is atrocious. What they’ve gone through is so traumatic," said Pastor Jan Bolerjack. "These folks have gone through a lot of trauma in their lives and I just don’t want them landing here to be just one more trauma." Volunteers are helping the church feed and clothe the migrants as they try to find a place to stay indoors. However, the challenge is the region is already dealing with a homelessness crisis, and most shelters are full.
"The need is urgent, and the need is now," said Nora Gierloff, community development director for City of Tukwila. "This is a local instance of a national situation where destination cities have just been overwhelmed by these needs.", requesting funding and resources from state and federal government to address the influx of asylum seekers. Almost one month since the proclamation was issued and Gierloff said Tuwkila hasn’t received many answers.
