#San Diego County

[saywhat-politics]

California’s southern border, long ‘ground zero’ in the fight between federal and local officials over immigration policy, is now at the center of renewed controversy over how far local leaders can go to protect people from deportation.

After San Diego County took steps earlier this month to strengthen safeguards for undocumented residents, an organization led by President-elect Donald Trump’s adviser Stephen Miller sent a letter warning that elected leaders and employees of “sanctuary” jurisdictions could be “criminally liable” if they impede federal immigration enforcement.

In the Dec. 23 letter, America First Legal Foundation wrote: “We have identified San Diego County as a sanctuary jurisdiction that is violating federal law.”

U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez issued a preliminary injunction to provide protection to these high school teachers who challenged the San Diego County Escondido Unified School District’s (USD) policy. The teachers argued that the policy infringed on their First Amendment rights of free speech and free exercise of religion, and that to violate it and be dishonest with parents would go against their genuine religious beliefs...

Serendipity!

Since I recently subscribed to the channel Sidetrack Adventures, YouTube has been recommending various videos to watch.

I did a double take when I saw "Campo Creek" in the title of this one. A few weeks ago I wrote about a trestle of this old railroad in Those Who Wander! So if you've read that or just enjoy desert highlands or railroads, check out this video.

To be clear, the trestle I wrote about is 13 miles southwest of the Campo Creek Viaduct. The video gives a brief overview of the railroad and has a shot looking down the rail line toward that trestle and the tunnel on the other side.

If I were to start a vlog, it would be along the lines of Sidetrack Adventures. I love visiting new places, exploring, and digging into local history. Truth is often stranger than fiction.
