Today’s newsletter is presented by the San Diego Foundation.
Good morning, San Diego.
Our top story is a spotlight on three El Cajon women who have launched an effort to recall City Council member Phil Ortiz, who in February voted to allow local police to work with ICE — saying they did so in order to help create a voice for the immigrant community.
The San Diego Rock `n’ Roll Marathon has come and gone again, leaving behind only a faint sense of envy for those of us who have never finished a marathon, or maybe that’s just me.
In the men’s marathon, Devin Desouza of Arlington, Texas took first place with a 2:29:43 run time. The women’s race winner was Shelby Meek of Nampa, Idaho, who finished with a final time of 2:58:51.
And don’t miss our stories about the Henderson Fire out by Pala Casino (which is almost fully contained), a popular Tijuana band was forced to cancel a weekend appearance due to visa issues brought on by the Trump administration, and despite the claims of some adults, students and fellow runners are publicly supporting a trans track star from Jurupa Valley High School.
