Guam continues to see Russian asylum seekers; mayors and charities helping out [View all]

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.
