Guam continues to see Russian asylum seekers; mayors and charities helping out
Even as Russian tourists continue to visit Guam, so do Russian asylum seekers.
According to a Guam San Jose Homeless Shelter report, a number of Russian families applying for political asylum sought shelter with the Catholic Social Services-run facility.
For instance, CSS reported that there was a Russian man who asked for assistance applying for jobs while waiting for his asylum papers to clear.
CSS also reported a Russian married couple with two minor children who were staying at a church after they were evicted from their rental apartment.
According to the report, this family came to Guam and the husband had a work permit and a social security card. However, the wife does not have a social security card nor a work permit, allegedly due to a mistake in processing by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
