>> WE HAD REPORTS TO OUR OFFICE THAT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DETAINED AND HELD IN THE BASEMENT OF THE BUILDING FAR BEYOND ANY OF THE STANDARDS THAT ARE HUMANE AND LEGALLY NECESSARY.

>> KPBS REACHED OUT TO I.C.E FOR CONFIRMATION IF DETAINEES ARE HELD IN THE FEDERAL BUILDING'S BASEMENT, A SPOKESPERSON DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND TO OUR REQUEST.

BOTH VARGAS AND PETERS ENTERED THE BUILDING BUT THEY WERE DENIED ACCESS TO THE BASEMENT FACILITY.

VARGAS SAID AGENTS SAID THEY NEEDED MORE OFFICE EVEN THOUGH HIS OFFICE NOTIFIED I.C.E 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE.

AS MEMBERS OF CONGRESS THEY ARE ALLOWED TO MAKE UNANNOUNCED VISITS TO CONDUCT OVERSIGHT.

THE CONGRESSMAN SAY THEY WILL GIVE MORE NOTICE WHEN THEY COME BACK TO INSPECT THE BUILDING AT A LATER DATE.

COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA ACKNOWLEDGED THE CITY'S AUTHORITY IS LIMITED BUT SAID THE ORDINANCE WILL EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS TO ASSERT THEIR OWN CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO PRIVACY, DUE PROCESS AND EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW.

>> IF YOU BEEN TO A CITY SPACE AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENJOY A CERTAIN EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY THERE, THERE IS A SIGNPOSTED NO WARRANT, NO ENTRY IF YOU ARE A FEDERAL AGENT AND THEY BLOW PASSED THAT SIGN.

THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE LAW, YOU HAVE MUCH STRONGER GROUND NOW TO SAY LOOK, I WAS IN A PRIVATE SPACE, WITH A SIGNPOSTED THAT REQUIRED A WARRANT AND THEY DID NOT RESPECT THAT.

>> Reporter: THE ORDINANCE WOULD EXTEND TO CITY CONTRACTORS PROHIBITING THEM TO VOLUNTARILY COOPERATING WITH FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

>> Reporter: MONDAY, BANKING APPS, ONLINE VIDEOS, INCLUDING FORT NITE, AND SNAP CHAT AND AMAZON LINKED MART DEVICES IN HOMES ALL EFFECTED.

IN 2024, AWSA COUNTED FOR 37% OF THE GLOBAL CLOUD MARKET SHARE.

ACCORDING TO MARKET RESEARCH FIRM GARDENER.

>> PART OF THE PROBLEM, THE MORE CONSOLIDATION AND THE FEWER SORT OF COMPETING WEB SERVICES WE HAVE THE MORE OF A PROBLEM IT IS GOING TO BE.

>> Reporter: IN WASHINGTON.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, UKRAINE TURNS TO EUROPE AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP DENIES NEW WEAPONRY AND CALLS FOR SEEDING UKRAINIAN TERRITORY TO RUSSIA.

REPRESENTING NORTH AND EAST COUNTY.

TOMORROW A PROPOSAL WILL BE INTRODUCED TO URGE FOR RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN HOME INVESTMENT, PARTICULARLY NEAR MILITARY BASES AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

FOREIGN INVESTORS BOUGHT $56 BILLION IN U.S.

WITH 15% EVER THE SALES IN CALIFORNIA [MUSIC] >>> POLITICAL STABILITY IS THE BEDROCK OF A HEALTHY ECONOMY.

THE UNITED STATES IS STRUGGLING WITH BOTH.

THE CHIEF ECONOMIST OF THE SAN DIEGO REGIONAL POLICY INVASION CENTER AND HE SPOKE TO KPBS RECENTLY ABOUT THE ECONOMIC FORECAST FOR SAN DIEGO AND THE COUNTRY.

>> SO, DANIEL, HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE STATE OF THE U.S.

ECONOMY RIGHT NOW AS WELL AS THE SAN DIEGO ECONOMY?

>> THE STATE OF THE U.S.

ECONOMY IS WEAKENING.

IT ACTUALLY HAS BEEN WEAKENING FOR LONGER THAN WE REALIZED.

THE LATEST BIG REVISION, WHICH IS A TYPICAL PROCESS WITH THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS THAT GO BACK AND REVISE THEIR NUMBERS BASED ON A MORE COMPLETE SENSE OF BUSINESSES AND HIRING AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.

IT WAS THE LARGEST NEGATIVE REVISION IN RECENT HISTORY.

SO, THERE ARE ABOUT 900,000 JOBS LESS THAN WE THOUGHT THERE WERE STARTING IN APRIL OF 2024.

NOT JUST THE TRUMP ECONOMY.

IT IS ALSO THE BIDEN ECONOMY.

WE SIMPLY HAVE NOT HAD AS MANY JOBS, NEW JOBS CREATED AS WE HAD HOPED.

AS WE HAD EXPECTED.

AND, SO, WE ARE ALREADY FROM A WEAKER POSITION THAN WE HAD REALIZED AND GETTING WORSE MONTH BY MONTH, UNFORTUNATELY.

>> HOW IS THAT FILTERING INTO SAN DIEGO?

>> A LOT OF THE FACTORS THAT ARE DRIVING A NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE ECONOMY HIT SAN DIEGO ESPECIALLY HARD.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE UNCERTAINTY AROUND TRADE POLICY, RIGHT?

THESE HIGH TARIFFS.

WELL, IN YOUR TYPICAL ECON101 OF TRADE, YOU THINK TRADE IS COUNTRY A SELLS APPLES TO COUNTRY B AND COUNTRY B SELLS BANANAS TO COUNTRY A. THOSE ARE FINISHED GOODS, BUT WHAT WE DO IN SAN DIEGO IS MORE LIKE CO- PRODUCTION.

IN FACT, THE REGIONAL EDC ESTIMATED THAT A TYPICAL COMPONENT OF THE MEDICAL DEVICE MIGHT CROSS THE BORDER SIX OR EIGHT TIMES IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN PROCESS, RIGHT?

SO, WHEN WE ARE WORKING SO INTIMATELY WITH OUR PARTNERS IN MEXICO, TRADING COMPONENTS BACK AND FORTH IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN WE ARE REALLY VULNERABLE TO TARIFFS.

AND, SO, A PLACE THAT IS ENGAGED AS MUCH TRADE AS WE ARE IS PERHAPS MORE IMPACTED THAN ON AVERAGE.

ANOTHER AREA YOU LOOK AT A.I., POTENTIALLY UNDERMINING SOME ENTRY-LEVEL JOBS, PARTICULARLY IN THE INVASION SECTOR.

IT IS A HUGE DRIVER OF SAN DIEGO'S ECONOMY.

>> WHAT WORRIES YOU THE MOST ABOUT WHERE WE MIGHT BE HEADED?

>> I THINK I AM CONCERNED ABOUT JOB LOSSES.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE -- THE BIGGEST IMPACT WHEN YOU HAVE A DOWN- TURNING ECONOMY.

EVERYONE WORRIES ABOUT A RECESSION, RIGHT?

THE BIGGEST NEGATIVE IMPACT OF RECESSION IS NOT THAT A TON OF PEOPLE WHO DID NOT, WHO WOULD OF HAD JOBS DON'T HAVE JOBS, IT IS A SMALL PORTION OF THE WORKERS WHO MIGHT BE EFFECTED.

IT IS THAT, IF YOU WANT TO FIND A NEW JOB IT IS MUCH HARDER.

AND, SO, WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR JOB YOU SPEND MORE TIME UNEMPLOYED.

WHEN YOU ADD TO THAT OUR VERY HIGH COST OF LIVING, THAT IS, THAT IS, THAT IS A DANGEROUS RECIPE.

MY GREATEST FEAR IS THAT SAN DIEGO BECOMES SANTA BARBARA.

A PLACE THAT IS REALLY NICE FOR RICH PEOPLE TO LIVE AND WHERE NO ONE ELSE CAN AFFORD TO BE.

>> AND THAT WAS INTERVIEW FOR PUBLIC MATTERS, A PARTNERSHIP WITH KPBS AND VOICE OF SAN DIEGO.

YOU CAN SEE MORE OF OUR STORIES ON KPBS/PUBLICMATTERS.

AMONG THEM, A CONGRESS MEMBER FROM CALIFORNIA INLAND EMPIRE SINCE 1993.

WE ARE IN THE CITY OF CORONA, REPUBLICANS WE TALK TO HERE ARE NOT THRILLED AT THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING REPRESENTED BY A DEMOCRAT.

>> AS A REPUBLICAN I DON'T LIKE THAT.

IT WOULD BE THE SAME, I MEAN, IF I WERE A DEMOCRAT I WOULD WANT MY DISTRICT TO REPRESENT ME.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY, NO.

I HAVE A BIG SIGN ON MY YARD.
