In just a few hours here,
the San Diego City Council will
consider who they want to be one
new Citizens Police Review Boar.
Thanks for being here at 6:00 A.
I'm Eric Connor.
And I'm Dana Marie. Make they go
filling in for Netta or ROM poo.
Now the board will continue to h
in on alleged officer misconduct
and suggest disciplinary action.
CBS8's Chris Grow live at the Sn
Diego Police headquarters to gie
us an update on the council's nt
step to form a Commission. Chri.
Yeah. Good morning, Eric and Dana Marie.
And the council set to meet
in less than 4 hours now,
10:00 AM That's when they will
take up this scheduled item.
Again, trying to actually put
members on this Commission.
Now they have a list of about 63 people and
they're going to whittle that down to 25.
And what they're trying to
do though is also get a wide,
wide range of people trying to
make sure that they include thoe
with low to moderate incomes,
young people as well as one per.
From each council district.
So they're going to try to go
ahead and fulfill those needs.
But the issue that some people
have had with this process is
how long it's taken to get here.
The creation of the Independent
Police Practices Commission acty
happened after voters approved
Measure B in November of 2020.
But Fast forward today and we're still
looking for members to be voted.
And it's not just the delay upsetting
those close to the measure and
the creation of the Commission,
it's actually how the current
review board is doing.
That board has had to stop revig
less severe Police Complaints because
there's a backlog of cases and t
enough commissioners to go through them.
Police have had to close internl
cases without outside input.
And the point of this new Police
Practices Commission was to enhe
and improve what the old board s
doing to give them more powers,
to give them more oversight.
And now the cochair founder of n
Diego's for Justice and the autr
of the measure, Measure B, Andrea St.
Julian, says the process needs to pick up,
while Council President Sean Elo
Rivera has defended that proces.
I think we will see a variety of
different conversations for different
nominees and different seats.
Your, you know, guess as to exay
what Monday looks like wouldn't
be too much different than mine.
I I I, I think what cannot?
Be forgotten here is that this
is an entirely new process.
And despite the City Council's r
efforts to slow down this proce,
we are all going to work togethr
to make sure that this Commissin
is what it needs to be.
And we're going to continue
to follow what happens today.
Remember meeting at 10:00 AM?
If and when we do learn on who
will sit on this Commission,
be sure to pass along that info
both here and on cbs8.com,
Eric and Danna Marie.
All right, thanks Chris for tha.
This morning we have more information on
a shooting that killed at least 10 people

Some of them fired back.
So far no one has been arrested.
And right now, people in Borrego Springs

violent predator being moved to the area.
A judge ordered Douglas Badger e
released on or before May 23rd.
Now, that's tomorrow.
Badger will be housed in a residential
neighborhood and will be supervd
by state authorities.
This comes despite community opposition.
Local state lawmaker Brian Jones
expected to request an audit one
company that oversaw Badgers placement.
Well this morning the man is
in custody accused of groping
a 12 year old girl in Santee.
It happened Thursday afternoon r
Big Rock Park 30 Say 29 year old Jose
Ruvokaba groped the girl beforee
rode away on an electric scoote.
He was arrested over the weekend
and is facing a felony charge.
He is expected to be in court on Wednesday.
Right now police are looking for
a group of men in the carjacked
an Uber driver at gunpoint.
It happened in the East Village

early Saturday morning.
Police say a group of four thieves ran up
to the car with a gun and took wallets,
phones and then the car.
Officers found the car empty

and this morning the protest agt
a 30 foot border wall at Friendp
Park is headed to our nation's capital.
Today delegation from the group
called French Friends of Friendp
Park is leaving to Washington
DC to speak with lawmakers.
CBS Jasmine Ramirez has the sto.
Activists and community members
gathered at Border Field State .
They marched to protest the
construction of the 30 foot
border wall at Friendship Park.
This demonstration was different
than many we've seen in the pas.
Today there was music and danci.
We know that what we do today,
it has meaning.
It has profound unity and
compassion and humanity to keep
fighting to save Friendship
Park. For years, families from both sides
of the border have reunited at the park.
It is also served as a place for
religious and music groups to
celebrate the region's culture.
Now, border wall construction
threatens the park's purpose.
Customs and Border Protection
say the primary and secondary
barrier has been deteriorating.
And poses a threat to Border Pa.
Therefore, wall replacement is needed.
The secondary border wall is the
first project that's moving for.
It's probably about 100 feet from completion
of the top of the Mesa of Monument Mesa.
Construction on the primary
border wall hasn't started yet.
Activists are hopeful their demonstrations
and visit to Washington DC's
will prevent it from happening.
So that's why we're hoping that with.
These protests that the decision
makers will hear us and say it
makes sense to not have 30 foot
border walls at Friendship Park.
They plan to speak to members
of Congress and White House
officials on Tuesday morning. We
will bring back what they say ae
will challenge and continue the fight

Right now, migrant encounters are down
70% at the border after Title 42 ended.
That's according to the
Department of Homeland Security.
Border Patrol is averaging
about 3000 encounters a day.
More than 11,000 people have
been deported since May 12th.
Officials had predicted a crush
of migrants would arrive at the
border after Title 42 expired,
but so far that's just not the .
A local immigration advocate sas
it may be due to new consequenc.
Migrants caught crossing illegally are
not allowed to return for five years.
This is coming in here.
MTSS, South Bay, East County and
minibus services continue to be
impacted by a work stoppage.
MTS just updated the routes affected today.
E County has about 90% coverage but MTS
says the South Bay is much more limited.
This is just for buses,
trolley services normal.
You can see the full list of
routes impacted at sdmts.com.
Contracted employees driving for
MTS have been on strike demandig

400 bus drivers and 3rd party
staffing company Transdev.
This morning,
the intersection at Scripps Lake
Drive and Scripps Ranch Blvd.
Is still closed.
A water main break caused a sine
to open up in the area on Frida,
leaving behind this big mess,
quite the river that they had t.
The city of San Diego says it is
still trying to figure out what
caused the water main break.
It also hasn't given any estimates as
to when that intersection will be open.
And we've been seeing some rain,
some mist around
the county here. That's right.
We are starting off the morningh
a dense cloud cover along the c,
stretching all the way
through your inland valleys.
In some cases, those clouds have
been capable of producing some ,
some light drizzle out there.
So there's the chance that you
might not only see some damp ro,
but also need the windshield wipers at times.
Some fog too,
which we'll look at in just a second.
But I figured I'd start off
the forecast with this this.
Forge a shot of the sunrise
out there from Otay Mountain.
So 546 or so was that sunrise.
We're still more than 20 minutes out from it.
The problem that we have on hand is that
most of us are below all of these clouds,
so all of these beautiful mountain views
really only being seen from the mountaintops.
Because below those mountaintops
you've got that dense layer of clouds
that we are going to be working
through 2 1/2 miles of visibili.
In Ramona,
three up in Fallbrook,
Perfect 10 for Miramar and Keary
Mesa 7 in San Diego and nine
down South and Imperial Beach.
So some issues related to visiby
and we'll see those clouds pullk
steadily throughout the late mog
early afternoon mid 70s come about for
the inland valleys across the deserts of.
Well,
mountains and deserts in partic,
a final day with that opportuniy
for a few thunderstorms.
It's been an issue that is mainy
plagued your mountaintops and
that's been the last several da.
Palomar Mountain Pine Valley sps

moisture pop up very briefly but
still mentionable along the coa.
It's going to be minimal clearing for us
67 is the forecast high along the coast.
We may get maybe a few small
bouts of sunshine out there,
but that's really all we
can hold out hope for.
Here's a look at current temperatures
as you head across the southwesn
US 53 right now in San Luis Obi,
57 in Santa Barbara,
and 61 for LA and for San Diego.
Right now,
let's take a look at your border wait
times as we start off the mornit
6:10 on the clock and accordingo
the CDP website, the general li.
At the San Ysidro port of entry,
125 minutes over 2 hours you're
going to be waiting in that lin.
Oh, time, a support of entry,
45 minutes.
So you'll at least be able to
get through quite a bit faster.
But we do know that sometimes
those wait times can vary and
tend to be a little longer,
depending on how long it takes r
you to get to that start time itself.
Dana, Marie and Eric, back to y.
