A SHOW OF SUPPORT DOWNTOWN TUESDAY… BEFORE AN IMMIGRATION HEARING FOR THE OWNER OF A POPULAR NORTH COUNTY MARKET
NORTH COUNTY REPORTER ALEXANDER NGUYEN TELLS US THE MAN FEARED BEING DEPORTED DESPITE HAVING A WORK PERMIT
PEACHYMKT TRT :59 SOC
Several dozen people gathered in front of the Edward J Schwartz federal building Tuesday morning …
“We stand with Norberto”
to support …. Norberto Ambrosio-Aguilar … the owner of Just Peachy Market in Leucadia.
“Que pues el logro de mi sueño era estar aquí legal.” (My dream is to achieve legal status).
He says he wants to achieve legal status. He arrived in the U-S as a teenager in the ’90s and had an ongoing immigration case until it was closed 12 years ago.
Earlier this month he got a notice to appear in immigration court. Last summer D-H-S began reopening cases that have been administratively closed for years, sometimes even decades.
An immigration attorney told K-P-B-S the Trump administration is sowing fear and going after low-hanging fruit to bolster its deportation numbers;
Ambrosio was worried he could be deported even though he has a work permit.
“ Yo solamente lo dejo en la mano de Dios y que él decida.” (I don't know. There are cases that come here and they arrest them. And in my case, honestly, I don't know. I just leave it in God's hands and let Him decide.)
He says he’s putting his fate in god’s hands and letting him decide.
In the courtroom… the judge continued the hearing until May.

GIVEN THE SUBJECT, THE SCENE COULDN’T HAVE BEEN MORE ILLUSTRATIVE… ON A BLUFF OVER THE COAST AT SOLANA BEACH, REPRESENTATIVE MIKE LEVIN SAID THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S NEW PROPOSAL TO OPEN UP THE CALIFORNIA COAST FOR NEW OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING WAS A DISASTER IN THE MAKING. HE’S INTRODUCED THE CALIFORNIA COAST AND OCEAN PROTECTION ACT TO BAN DRILLING OFF CALIFORNIA FOREVER. LEVIN REFERENCED THE 2021 PIPELINE RUPTURE OFF HUNTINGTON BEACH TO DRIVE HOME THE POINT.

LEVIN SAYS HE’S RECEIVED BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FROM STATE AND FEDERAL LAWMAKERS ACROSS CALIFORNIA. WHETHER THE BILL WILL GET TAKEN UP IN THIS SESSION OF CONGRESS… LEVIN SAYS THAT’S NOT YET CLEAR. JC, KPBS NEWS.

FLU AND COVID CASES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE IN THE COUNTY AS FAMILIES GATHER FOR THE HOLIDAYS. HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE URGING SAN DIEGANS TO GET VACCINATED NOW.
HEALTH REPORTER HEIDI DE MARCO HAS THE LATEST VACCINATION NUMBERS.
–
LOWVAX 1 trt: 1:12 soq
The number of people getting Flu and COVID vaccines in San Diego County is far below what health officials hoped for at this point in the season.
Only about one in five eligible residents have gotten a flu shot. And even fewer people have gotten the updated COVID vaccine.
At the same time, flu cases have been climbing since last month…from about 60 cases a week at the beginning of October to nearly 160 cases last week.
UC San Diego infectious disease specialist Dr. Davey Smith has been monitoring flu activity overseas. He says it can help predict what we’ll see here.
“Then it's gonna be a pretty bad year. Japan has already hit more deaths than they had last year in terms of the flu. The UK rates are rising faster than what we saw the year, and even the year before that.”
But he says this year’s vaccine protects against the flu strain circulating now.
“Don't miss out on that flu vaccine this year cause I think it's going to be a rough ride.”
He is expecting flu season in San Diego to ramp up in January or February. But with gatherings starting this week, Smith says now is the time to get protected.

ON FRIDAY, GRAFFITI GARDENS IN ENCANTO WILL HOST THE SECOND ANNUAL BLACK FRIDAY ARTIST MARKET.
ARTS REPORTER BETH ACCOMANDO EXPLAINS HOW ARTIST MAXX MOSES IS CHALLENGING TRADITIONAL IDEAS ABOUT BLACK FRIDAY CONSUMERISM.
BLACKFRIDAY (ba) 1:12 SOQ
Maxx Moses is an acclaimed artist and the art director of Graffiti Gardens in the San Diego Black Arts and Culture District. Last year, he had an idea to reimagine Black Friday.
“I was like, It's black. We need to take that over as Black people. Let's take Black Friday over. You celebrate Black culture, you celebrate Black community, you celebrate Black economics, and really ingrain that in the culture. I want to take over that idea of Black Friday to be an economic movement, a Black consciousness movement, a Black love movement.”
For the event, Moses will be partnering with artist Brandon Flowers and Marilyn Harvey of Mvinyo Book Bar to bring art, food, music and libations. There will be a market featuring a diverse group of artists, from emerging to established, all from San Diego. There will also be clothing designers offering wearable art. This year, there are activities planned where attendees can sketch a live model. The event runs from 2pm to 9pm on November 28th at Graffiti Gardens.
