Sunday would have marked the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that guaranteed abortion access throughout the country.
Plans to construct two layers of 30-foot barriers through historic Friendship Park at the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego County will continue despite the objections of state leaders, local community groups and at least 15 members of Congress.
Activists have been particularly frustrated that — in their view — the Biden administration is breaking a campaign promise to build “not another foot” of former President Donald Trump’s border wall. For decades, families separated by the border could briefly reunite at the park, between Imperial Beach and Playas de Tijuana, while being supervised by U.S. border agents. Pre-pandemic, people would drive from as far away as San Francisco to spend a couple of hours in the park with family and friends from the Mexico side, said John Fanestil, of the Friends of Friendship Park.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced last week it’s moving forward with a revised plan to replace the existing gated single-layer barrier, calling the ocean-jutting structure “dilapidated.” An outcry prompted the agency to abandon plans to remove a pedestrian gate; it now says a gate would be open at designated times.“This will allow visitors on the U.S.
Activists are unmoved. “Our fear is that this proposal, construction of 30-foot walls, would effectively render Friendship Park closed to the public,” Fanestil said. The group announced a rally at a nearby Border Patrol station for Tuesday morning.California wants more people to use public transit for transportation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but ridership is down and transit systems face a “fiscal cliff.
