Good morning, San Diego.

Let’s start today’s edition of Morning Update with an announcement – our spring campaign is underway, and we need your help to meet (or even exceed!) our goal of $20,000.   

As a newsletter subscriber, we know you value what we do here at Times of San Diego. Your support will help us grow – from expanding the news we cover in your neighborhood to hiring additional reporters.


On Friday, that news included an ICE raid at a popular restaurant that upset the staff and community – one that happened to take place a day after the Trump administration posted a list of ‘sanctuary jurisdictions’ that included San Diego, Chula Vista and more local agencies. Also, another dangerous brush fire forced nearby residents from their homes.

We’re ready to deliver more stories like this to keep you informed about your community and the dynamic and evolving San Diego region as a whole.

What do you say? Will you help us thrive in 2025?
