Aguirre Shifts on Sanctuary Policy

3 days ago | voiceofsandiego.org | Jim Hinch

Amid widespread condemnation of a federal immigration raid last weekend at a popular South Park restaurant, county supervisorial candidate Paloma Aguirre is softening her stance on a controversial county immigration policy. Speaking to KPBS on Monday, Aguirre said she supports the county’s so-called “super sanctuary” policy, which bars county employees from assisting federal deportation efforts even in cases involving immigrants convicted of violent felonies.
South County Report: A Tale of Two (State of the) Cities

3 days ago | voiceofsandiego.org | Jim Hinch

What happens when you sweep everything aside and just watch two politicians at work in their native habitat? I’ve been covering the race to fill a vacant South County seat on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors from the moment former District 1 Supervisor Nora Vargas unexpectedly resigned late last year.
Border Report: Questions Swirl Over Baja Governor's Cancelled Visa

4 days ago | voiceofsandiego.org | Sandra Dibble

Three weeks after Baja California Gov. Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda announced the cancellation of her U.S. visitor visa, many questions linger. But one thing is certain: The incident has put an uncomfortable spotlight on the governor, who has been an up-and-coming politician in Mexico’s ruling MORENA Party. The Trump administration began to put travel restrictions on Mexican politicians it believes are connected to “drug corruption” as early as last month, ProPublica reported.
The Progress Report: Bringing the Ocean to City Heights Students

On a sunny Thursday morning, a troop of young children excitedly dipped their hands into small fish tanks. They squealed as they ran their fingers over mussels and sea snails. Six-year-old Diego Cortezâs favorite animal was the hermit crab. âI like how the shell feels when you touch it,â he said with a bashful grin. Cortez and his kindergarten classmates from Rosa Parks Elementary in City Heights — just a 15-minute walk away — were there to visit the Ocean Discovery Instituteâs Living Lab.
Sacramento Report: Revised California Budget Projects a $12 Billion Gap

1 week ago | voiceofsandiego.org | Deborah Sullivan Brennan

Gov. Gavin Newsom released his revised state budget this month, and it reflects a bleaker outlook than his January spending plan. The updated California budget projects a $12 billion deficit, driven by rising health care costs, drops in international tourism and what Newsom called the â€śTrump sump,â€ť the economic fallout from President Donald Trumpâ€™s chaotic tariff policy.

The Learning Curve: County Sees Surge in Homeless Students Even As Funding is in Question

1 week ago | voiceofsandiego.org | Jakob McWhinney |Tessa Balc

For the first time in half a decade, the county’s annual homeless census showed a decrease in the number of people staying in local shelters and living on the streets. Countywide, there was about a 7 percent decrease in homelessness. That elicited relief from leaders who’ve long grappled with a steady beat of bad news on the front. Local education officials, on the other hand, were not treated to such good news.
Ex-City COO Set to Get More in Settlement Than Severance Would Have Been

1 week ago | voiceofsandiego.org | Lisa Halverstadt

An attorney for the city’s former top bureaucrat, who Mayor Todd Gloria belatedly claimed he fired for cause, says the ex-COO has reached a tentative $146,000 settlement with the city. The proposed settlement is larger than the three months of severance that ex-COO Eric Dargan sought when he was abruptly dismissed in February, attorney Michael Conger said.
An Experiment to Clear a Homeless Camp in North County Seems to Be Working

1 week ago | voiceofsandiego.org | Tigist Layne

After months of planning, a North County effort to move hundreds of unsheltered homeless people from encampments into housing is underway, and it is showing progress. Itâ€™s been about a year since Oceanside and Carlsbad received a state grant to move unsheltered homeless people camped along state Route 78 and the Buena Vista Creek into long-term housing. The goal is to move every person living in encampments around the nearly 4-mile shared border between the two cities into housing.
South County Report: Water Agency Demands Retraction From Former Board Member

1 week ago | voiceofsandiego.org | Jim Hinch

Lawyers for the Sweetwater Authority water agency are demanding that former authority board member Josie Calderon-Scott retract claims she made recently to Voice of San Diego that the authority knew about elevated levels of toxic industrial chemicals in its main reservoir years before alerting the public. But Calderon-Scott said she’s not backing down. And she challenged the authority to produce documents that she said would settle the issue.
