Roughly 2,300 Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion are currently waiting in Tijuana, according to the mayor’s office
Near the San Ysidro Port of Entry, volunteers are working around the clock to support Ukrainian families and queue them for Customs and Border Protection to process
Ukrainians had been camping at a bus stop near the eastern entrance to the port of entry since last week. The city of Tijuana then opened a sports complex known as Benito Juárez in Zona Norte, the same sports complex where a caravan of Central Americans stayed in November 2018. While the Central Americans were mostly housed in tents in the sports fields at the complex, the Ukrainians are generally sleeping on mats inside a building.
Volunteers are registering Ukrainains when they arrive at the Tijuana airport, Fedoryshyn said. They are given QR codes with numbers showing their place in the line to get into the United States. Most then go to Benito Juárez, unless they want to go to a hotel instead.
