    Opinion: Riverside Sheriff Bianco should be probed over unlawful ballot seizure (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For 35 years, I carried a badge in San Diego County. I learned that the most powerful thing a peace officer does is sign a sworn statement and ask a judge to trust it. The judge cannot check every fact, so the system only works when officers tell the whole truth, including the parts that weaken their case. That is why the California Supreme Court’s decision on Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco cannot be the end of this story. Reasonable suspicion now exists to open a criminal investigation in

    Opinion: Close the legal loophole that lets local police moonlight for ICE (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Boosted by a $240 billion budget, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has spent millions on local advertising campaigns, including in California cities, to recruit local police. Earlier this year, an AP investigation found few guardrails and minimal vetting in ICE’s hiring spree, while the San Francisco Chronicle reviewed federal requests for proposals and found that ICE is searching for “coworking locations” in at least eight California cities. Yet amid the growing and opaque ranks of ICE agent

    Opinion: A San Diego deputy got 12 years; an ICE agent got a cover-up (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I spent 35 years wearing a badge in this county, and I learned one thing that never stopped being true: the law doesn’t care what agency patch is on your shoulder. At least it isn’t supposed to. What we’re watching right now proves that promise is being broken on purpose, by the very people sworn to keep it. An ICE officer named Christian Castro shot a Venezuelan immigrant, Julio Sosa-Celis, through a closed door in Minneapolis back in January. The Department of Homeland Security didn’t just get

    Opinion: Our region demands leadership, not silence on ICE gun training (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Today the San Diego County Board of Supervisors votes on whether to end three agreements letting ICE and CBP train at county-owned gun ranges. It is a simple question with an obvious answer: county property should not equip the agents carrying out mass raids in our neighborhoods. And yet the loudest voices in this fight have gone quiet exactly when it counts. CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott calls the proposed termination “reckless, irresponsible, and ignorant.” He claims Otay Mesa is the only faci

    Opinion: Why do machines answer when you call police for help in East County? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you live in La Mesa and called your police department’s non-emergency line this past week, you may have noticed something new: the voice on the other end wasn’t a person. As of July 24, the La Mesa Police Department began routing non-emergency calls to an artificial intelligence agent called Hyper. It joins the El Cajon Police Department, which made the same move recently, and the San Diego Sheriff’s Office, which has run Hyper on its non-emergency line since March, handling up to 400,000 cal
