San Diego Supervisors Sue DHS Over Detention Center Access Amid Health Concerns
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, March 5.
We start with breaking developments from City Hall, where our County Board of Supervisors, led by Chair Tara Lawson-Remer and Supervisor Paloma Aguirre, announced yesterday they are suing the Department of Homeland Security. They want full access to inspect the Otay Mesa Detention Center after being denied entry last month despite ICE clearance. Officials cite concerns over unsafe conditions like untreated medical issues and spoiled food, and they plan to file in federal court next Tuesday. This could set a precedent for public health oversight right here in our backyard.
On the crime front, we had a tense overnight pursuit in Santee that ended in a crash outside the Hampton Inn on Magnolia Avenue in El Cajon around 1 a.m. The driver of a stolen car is hospitalized, with no deputies hurt. Then, mid-morning yesterday, a hit-and-run near 58th Street and University Avenue in mid-city left another driver injured; police found a red Honda Civic abandoned at the scene and urge tips. Stay vigilant, listeners.
Gas prices spiked overnight to the highest since November, thanks to tensions in Iran, so we are filling up smarter at stations around Kearny Mesa.
In schools, San Diego Unified faces cuts of about 220 jobs, including cafeteria workers and bus drivers, to close a 47 million dollar gap, though some may reassign.
Shoppers at Westfield UTC mall, heads up: two hours of free parking ended this week, with new fees and signs up, aiming to boost turnover near our favorite stores.
A scooter battery fire at a dorm impacted 16 rooms with water damage; one student got checked at the hospital.
Weather today brings a wind advisory with gusts up to 55 mph across the county, so secure outdoor items and watch for debris on roads like I-8. It eases by evening, with weekend rain chances possibly dampening beach plans.
Job market stays tight, with school district tweaks signaling caution. Real estate sees median homes around 950,000 dollars, steady amid rates.
Padres fans, spring training heats up with eyes on the rotation. Quick nod to local high schools: our teams notched wins in recent hoops action.
Feel-good moment: a transitioning veteran received a brand new car, her joyful reaction lighting up the community.
Upcoming, catch community cleanups at Waterfront Park this weekend.
