San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond is demanding the Biden administration take “immediate” and “decisive” action to fund a non-government agency that has been contracted by the county to assist illegal immigrants at a closed school in the City Heights neighborhood.

The county has already spent $6 million to fund the NGO SBCS—formerly known as the South Bay Community Services—in the last four months. The organization provides transportation, basic needs, and other services for illegal immigrants.
