San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chair Terra Lawson-Remer ordered all County and U.S. flags to be lowered to half- staff on county property Sunday, in recognition of the lives lost in Minnesota at the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
Sunday’s order will remain in effect until the conclusion of this week’s Board of Supervisors meetings that are scheduled to be completed Wednesday.
The order was issued by Lawson-Remer over the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti, who were both shot and extrajudicially killed without provocation by immigration agents in Minneapolis.
“Lowering the flag today (Sunday) reflects mourning and real alarm,” Lawson-Remer said in a statement.
“Deadly federal enforcement combined with impeded oversight is a constitutional breakdown that communities across the country cannot ignore.”
