San Diego faces anger, legal action after cracking down on beachside yoga classes
As San Diego, California struggles with homelessness, drug addictions and illegal immigration, the city has decided to crack down on beachside yoga, according to a local instructor
“It is a beautiful city, a great place to live, but there’s a lot of problems. Yoga is not one of them,” instructor “Nama Steve” Hubbard told “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
Hubbard said yoga helps “create and maintain physical health, mental clarity and an emotional sense of balance,” which he added can help a lot of the issues facing residents in San Diego.

Hubbard said he has been doing yoga classes on the beach spot for 17 years, but recently park rangers have begun enforcing the city ordinance against gatherings without a permit.
Hubbard added that he was being watched by a park ranger during the interview and that the mayor was invited to attend a yoga class but declined.
“There was a meeting set up for Friday with the mayor, but he has canceled. And it’s been told to me that the city attorney gave him the advice to cancel that meeting.”
The city of San Diego requires businesses to seek a permit and unpermitted activities need to keep to four people or less, according to FOX 5 San Diego. Yoga instructors are now seeking legal action against the city over the renewed enforcement.
A city spokesperson told a local affiliate that the ordinance has been in effect since 1993.
“These updates went into effect March 29 and are in place to ensure these public spaces remain safe and accessible to all users at all times. Park Rangers, police and lifeguards have the authority to enforce these codes to ensure public safety in San Diego’s parks and beaches,” the spokesperson stated.
Migrants have long snuck into the U.S. by way of the Pacific Ocean, but over the last three years, California has seen an “exponential increase in maritime smuggling,” Brandon Tucker, director of Customs and Border Protection’s Air and Marine Operations in San Diego, said.
Since fiscal year 2020, maritime smuggling events — which can also include trafficking drugs and other contraband — in California have increased nearly 140%, according to CBP.
So far, the San Diego sector has seen more than 185,000 encounters in fiscal year 2024, up nearly 70% from the same period in 2023, according to CBP data.

Politics
Lawmakers watered down their original legislation to focus on data handled by state agencies.
The Utah Jazz are in the market to add a new center to their roster following their decision to ship out Walker Kessler to the Los Angeles Lakers.
They’ve already made a few moves to bolster their five spot in the first few days of free agency. Utah signed former Lakers big man Jaxson Hayes to a two-year deal, and re-signed a veteran of their own in Jusuf Nurkic that gives them at least some depth to lean on. But their work still might not be done trying to replace their defensive anchor in the middle.
Perhaps they could bring in another name off of free agency––or just maybe, they could look towards the trade market to address their hole at center, where there also might be a few intriguing veterans to target and fill their biggest need at the moment.
With that in mind, let’s look into three potential trade scenarios that the Jazz could consider to do just that:
Utah Provides Orlando With Bench Scoring
A simple one-for-one swap of guys on expiring deals; this could be an easy way for the Jazz to add another depth big man in the form of Bitadze, while sending Sensabaugh to a team that desperately needs another layer of shooting and scoring upside.
Bitadze has been a reliable rotational big since arriving in Orlando in 2023, posting an average of 6.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks a night in around 17 minutes a night. It’s easy to imagine him filling into a similar, defensive-focused role within Utah’s second unit.
Considering the Magic now have Wendell Carter Jr., newly-signed Nikola Vucevic, and Bitadze on top of it, it feels like one of the existing pieces from this frontcourt could be on the move. It sets up a perfect opportunity for the Jazz to strike and get ahead of Sensabaugh’s extension situation.
Utah Adds a New Starting Center Via Dallas
The most appealing center who could be on the block within this list: Daniel Gafford has been someone already placed into various trade rumors during the past few weeks of this offseason. That’s great news for the Jazz, who make perfect sense as a suitor to host him as a starting center for next season.
Gafford’s most recent time in Dallas has been the best stretch of his career in terms of statistics: he’s logged averages of 11.0 points and 6.9 rebounds a night while shooting an impressive 70% from the field. He’s not someone to expand his game much further than inside the arc, but as a lob threat and interior presence, there’s a lot to work with.
Utah would have to give up a bit of a bigger package in this one compared to what someone like Bitadze might command from Orlando. But Gafford’s locked in under contract for multiple years, and a more capable threat on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. So he’s worth the investment.
Utah Lands More Future Assets From Denver
A deal like this certainly wouldn’t be groundbreaking by any means. Someone of Zeke Nnaji’s caliber might even slot below Jaxson Hayes on the depth chart, and the returning draft picks for Utah tell you the type of asset he is on the trade market.
But the Nuggets are in a position to prioritize adding defense, shedding big men from their roster, and lessening their cap burden. This deal does just that, and only requires them to relinquish their two seconds received in their draft trade down from last month’s draft to do so.
Maybe the Jazz can unlock something from Nnaji’s game this coming season as a reserve big man––considering he’s averaged less than four points per game in the last three years––and if not, they get compensated with future draft picks to add him to their roster.
