Rallies across San Diego County held to protest Trump administration

Rallies across the U.S., including several in San Diego County, were planned Saturday to protest President Donald Trump’s policies on issues from immigration to the war in Iran, according to organizers.

Thousands were expected at 22 separate “No Kings” rallies across the county, with attendees protesting issues affecting San Diegans — from increased ICE arrests to healthcare cuts and the treatment of detainees at the Otay Mesa Detention Center, organizers said.

Protests were organized for Ocean Beach, La Jolla, Carmel Valley, Mira Mesa, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido, Fallbrook, Temecula, Valley Center, Rancho Bernardo, Ramona, La Mesa, El Cajon, Chula Vista, Otay Mesa and Borrego Springs.

The largest — a march planned from Waterfront Park through the streets of downtown San Diego — features speeches from several local leaders, including Bobby Wallace for a Kumeyaay land acknowledgement, San Diego County Supervisors Terra Lawson-Remer and Paloma Aguirre, Pastor Manuel Retamoza of The Border Church and Lorena Gonzalez, the California Federation of Labor Unions President.

The organizers are calling for the impeachment and removal of the Trump administration and the abolition of ICE

“San Diego residents are mobilizing over concerns about immigration enforcement, cuts to social programs and the administration’s use of executive authority,” organizers said in a news release.

The No Kings National Day of Nonviolent Action will see more than 3,000 communities hold simultaneous demonstrations. The rally is being supported locally by more than 30 organizations. In October, more than 80,000 turned out for a similar rally across San Diego County.
