Troops arrive at San Diego border after Trump declares national emergency
An additional 1,500 troops have arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border after President Donald Trump declared a national emergency in one of his first official acts.
Hundreds of Marines were stationed in the San Diego region by Friday, with tents set up in a parking lot near the Imperial Beach Border Patrol station.
Five hundred Marines had already previously been stationed in the San Diego area, on standby to combat wildfires across Southern California. The Department of Defense released images showing Marines at Camp Pendleton loading concertina wire into trucks, as well as installing that wire on the border wall in San Ysidro, fulfilling one facet of their deployment: enhancing physical barriers.
Military helicopters could also be seen flying overhead near the border wall, part of the Department of Defense’s aerial coverage as part of the deployment: UH-72 Lakota military helicopters deployed starting Tuesday, with additional aircraft available for intelligence and surveillance.
The military will also run deportation flights for more than 5,000 people detained by Customs and Border Protection in the San Diego and El Paso, Texas, sectors.
The additional troops and aerial support come after Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border, repeatedly painting the flow of migrants as an “invasion” as he looks to fulfill his signature campaign promises to tamp down immigration and ramp up deportations.
Just miles from the military action at the border, California Attorney General Rob Bonta was in San Diego Friday promising legal action should the Trump administration violate the law.
“Generally, the military may act in a supportive role,” Bonta said at a news conference after meeting with immigrant advocacy organizations to hear their concerns. “The law has established that that supportive role. They can’t be involved in primary, direct, civil immigration enforcement.”
“If the military moves outside its supportive role, it would be very potentially violating the law,” he continued. “It’ll depend on what authority the president has invoked, his justification for invoking it, whether there’s actually a basis for it.”
“If it moves beyond that, then we’ll take action because it will be unlawful,” Bonta said, noting his office filed lawsuits against the first Trump administration more than 120 times.
No such luck. Western Conference top seed San Diego FC beat the visiting Portland Timbers 4-0 on Sunday night and will play host to the Loons in the conference semifinals at 9 p.m. on Nov. 24, the Monday before Thanksgiving.
The MLS plays best-of-three series in the first round of the playoffs, but every subsequent round is a single game. That meant the Loons would have played at home had eighth-seeded Portland won Sunday.
Instead, Anders Dreyer and Amahl Pellegrino scored two goals each for San Diego, which earned the West’s top seed as an expansion team. Dreyer scored on a counterattack in the fifth minute, Pellegrino made it 2-0 on a rebound in the 17th and San Diego was in control from there.
Pablo Sisniega made his second career playoff start at goalkeeper for the injured CJ dos Santos and had two saves for San Diego. Dos Santos suffered a broken cheekbone early in the team’s penalty-kick shootout loss to Portland last week in Game 2.
The Loons-San Diego game is the final MLS conference semifinal matchup. Second-seeded Vancouver plays LAFC on Nov. 22 in the other West semi. Both Eastern Conference semifinals are Nov. 23, with second-seeded Cincinnati playing host to third-seeded Inter Miami and Lionel Messi at 4 p.m. and top-seeded Philadelphia taking on New York City FC at 6:30 p.m.

EL CAJON, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — A 70-year-old man from El Cajon is recovering in the hospital after a hit-and-run incident that left him with serious injuries.
Julio Arreola was struck while crossing the street near US Bank on Fletcher Parkway and Pioneer Way around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
“I was lucky not to get killed or paralyzed,” said Arreola, reflecting on his survival from the hospital.
He suffered fractures in his ribs and spine, and required staples for a head injury, according to his sister, Luz Arreola.
The suspect, 19-year-old Brian Guevara, fled the scene but was apprehended by police using license plate readers. He was booked on hit-and-run charges.
Arreola is currently unable to work at his TV repair shop due to his injuries, but he is focused on recovery and paying his bills.
This incident is part of a troubling trend of hit-and-runs in the area, including a recent case where a 6-year-old boy was killed near City Heights and another in El Cajon where a 12-year-old boy was hospitalized.
Arreola and his family are urging drivers to be more cautious to prevent further tragedies.
