Today’s newsletter is presented by the San Diego Foundation.
Good morning, San Diego.
The fallout has rolled out in waves after the immigration raid one week ago in South Park. But some officials, particularly at schools, along with community activists, have been in the middle of this fight for months – even years.
Leaders at San Diego schools, for instance, re-assured the public yesterday that there have been no confirmed reports of immigration agents on campuses. And members of groups that have felt the heat from – or just been discouraged – by Trump administration initiatives, gathered to call for elected officials to take action. The groups represent veterans, Christians, Muslims and Latinos.
Meanwhile, certain migrants are granted what’s called Temporary Protected Status, but that’s set to end for those from Afghanistan in July. “There’s a long history” of Afghans coming to San Diego and laying down roots, said one advocate, and she would know – she came to the U.S. as a youngster. What are they feeling now? “Great fear,” she said.
Need a break from it all? There’s joy to be had in music and whether you choose fests in North Park, the East Village or Julian, or the major acts headed downtown, check out our Weekend Guide to see the impressive variety of artists on local stages.
