Thank you, Sen. Cory Booker, for standing with South County in the fight to clean up the toxic sewage disaster in the Tijuana River Valley. Like you said, this sewage crisis wouldn’t be tolerated in Malibu or Mar-a-Lago. We must keep the pressure on to protect our community.

What happened last night in #SouthPark undermined trust and made us less safe. My full statement:

The ICE raid was NOT public safety. ICE used flash bangs and assault rifles in a family neighborhood. That’s not enforcement — it’s intimidation. I’ll fight this MAGA chaos every step of the way. We need leadership rooted in sanity and justice. timesofsandiego.com/crime/2025/05/…
