>> Reporter: THERE ARE STILL A HANDFUL OF PROTESTERS LEFT OUT HERE ALONG HARBOR BOULEVARD, HOLDING SIGNS AND ON OCCASION A SUPPORTIVE DRIVER HONKS THEIR HORN.

BUT IT WAS MARKEDLY DIFFERENT SITUATION SHORTLY AFTER 2:00 WHEN FOLKS GATHERED TO RALLY IN FRONT OF THE COUNTY ADMIN BUILDING AND PROCEEDED TO MARCH AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE BUILDING.

>> Reporter: THIS PROTEST COINCIDED WITH OTHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TODAY.

THEY CALLED IT FREE AMERICA.

PROTESTERS MADE THEIR DEMANDS CLEAR WITH THEIR VOICES AND SIGNS.

GREG WARD WAS AMONG THEM.

HE USED TO BE A TACTICAL TRAINER WITH THE NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT AND SAYS THE ACTIONS OF I.C.E.

OFFICERS, ESPECIALLY THE SHOOTING OF RENEE GOOD IN MINNEAPOLIS, ARE UNPROFESSIONAL AND OUT OF CONTROL AND HE WAS HERE TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST FASCISM.

>> WHAT YOU'RE SEEING NOW IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LITERALLY LEGITIMIZING VIOLENCE NOT ONLY AGAINST SO-CALLED ILLEGALS, MANY HERE TRYING TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR THEMSELVES, NOT BREAKING LAWS, HERE ON A MISDEMEANOR, NOT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.

>> Reporter: AFTER THE MARCH, FOLKS GATHERED AGAIN TO RALLY ONCE AGAIN IN FRONT OF THE COUNTY ADMIN BUILDING HERE AND TOLD EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE AFTER THEY LEFT TO GO OUT, START ORGANIZING AGAINST THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

LIVE AT WATERFRONT PARK, JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>> I'M ORGANIZING THIS PROTEST, MAIN REASON IS I FEEL LIKE AMERICA DOESN'T HAVE FREEDOM AND LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH OUR PRESIDENT.

>> THERE'S A LOT OF INJUSTICE IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THE YOUTH, TO SPEAK UP FOR OURSELVES IN A DARK TIME FOR EVERYBODY.

>> Reporter: STUDENTS, STAFF ESCORTED THEM AROUND THE BUILDING.

TRUMP HAD A PRESS CONFERENCE LISTING ACCOMPLISHMENTS NEARLY TWO HOURS.

>>> COMING UP, DEEPER MARINE LAYER, COOLER AND SHOWER OR TWO AROUND, WARMING UP JUST IN TIME FOR THE WEEKEND.

>>> TENSIONS ARE RISING AROUND GREENLAND.

OVERNIGHT PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOWED SCREENSHOTS OF PRIVATE MESSAGES FROM WORLD LEADERS AS HE FORCEFULLY REITERATED HIS DESIRE TO HAVE THE ISLAND.

HE'S EXPECTED TO MEET HIS COUNTERPARTS IN SWITZERLAND AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM THIS WEEK.

>> Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP CONTINUING HIS CAMPAIGN FOR THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE CONTROL OF GREENLAND.

A SLEW OF MEDIA POSTS, TWO AI PHOTOS, ONE SHOWING HIM PLANTING A FLAG.

>> BECAUSE A BOAT WENT THERE 300 YEARS AGO AND LEFT DOESN'T GIVE YOU TITLE TO THE PROPERTY.

SAYS HEAD OF SCHOOL -- >> I HAVE STUDENTS BAKING BREAD WITH JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES, WORKING WITH PRESCHOOLERS ALL OVER THE COUNTY, SERVING THE UNHOUSED AT THE THIRD AVENUE CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION, AND MAKING HYGIENE KITS.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> FOOD, SHELTER AND MEDICAL CARE CONTINUE TO SQUEEZE SAN DIEGANS POCKET BOOKS.

THEY STILL SOME OF THE HIGHEST COSTS IN THE COUNTRY FOR BASIC NECESSITIES.

AS A RESULT, MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING HUNGRY, AND A LOCAL ECONOMIST SAID THERE'S SIGNS OF A WEAKENING MARKET.

HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK FOR 2026, WELCOME.

>> GOOD TO BE HERE.

>> INFLATION.

HOW ARE THE HIGH PRICES TAKING A TOLL ON SAN DIEGANS?

>> LET ME GIVE YOU THE BACKDROP OF WHAT PEOPLE IN THE SAN DIEGO REGION ARE FACING.

AT 4%, THE SECOND HIGHEST INFLATION IN THE COUNTRY.

BROKEN DOWN, WE'RE PAYING 5.6% MORE ON HOUSING THAN NOVEMBER 2024, 7% MORE AT THE GAS PUMP AND AROUND 1% MORE ON FOOD ACCORDING TO THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

YOU MENTIONED THE TOLL ON PEOPLE.

I SPOKE WITH 65-YEAR-OLD CAROL PETER WHO LIVES IN A TRAILER IN AN RV PARK IN EL CAJON.

HER RENT IN THE TINY SPIT OF LAND JUST WENT UP FROM $750 A MONTH TO $1,045 A MONTH.

SHE SPENDS 80% OF HER INCOME ON HOUSING.

LEAVING LITTLE FOR FOOD, CLIPS COUPONS AND RELIES ON MEALS ON WHEELS AND CAL FRESH AND STILL DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

>> JUST STICKING TO THE BASICS, OATMEAL FOR DINNER.

AND EAT MAYBE TWICE A DAY.

NOW IT'S CONSIDERED TRENDY TO DO INTERMITTENT FASTING, BUT THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT I'VE DECIDED TO DO.

>> MEANWHILE HUNGER IS EXPECTED TO GET WORSE.

IN FACT, THE NUMBERS HAVEN'T BEEN THIS HIGH SINCE THE PANDEMIC.

AND SINCE THE PANDEMIC, NATIONALLY, THE COST OF FOOD HAS RISEN 25%.

JOSEPH KENDRICK OF THE SAN DIEGO HUNGER COALITION SAYS FOOD INSECURITY IN THE AREA HAS RISEN IN RECENT YEARS IN LOCK STEP WITH INFLATION AND STAGNANT PAY.

850,000 PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT IN A COUNTY OF JUST OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE.

AROUND 26% OF SAN DIEGANS.

IT'S HIGHER, 32%, FOR CHILDREN, AND 39% FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.

>> IT SAYS A LOT.

WE'RE STRUGGLING AS A COUNTY.

A LOT OF THIS IS WAGES.

MEANS THAT WORKERS SIMPLY AREN'T PAID ENOUGH, ESPECIALLY WITH THE EXORBITANT COST OF LIVING AND RAISING CHILDREN IN THIS COUNTY, HOW EXPENSIVE HOME PRICES ARE, RENT IS, GAS, FOOD.

>> THERE'S NOT A LOT OF GOOD NEWS ON THE JOB FRONT EITHER.

AT 4.6%, UNEMPLOYMENT IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS A SMIDGE HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, AND SAN DIEGO ECONOMIST ALAN JIN CHARACTERIZES THE LOCAL LABOR MARKET AS A LITTLE WORK.

HE BLAMES UNCERTAINTY.

>> THE TARIFF SITUATION KEEPS CHANGING.

AS A BUSINESS, IT'S DIFFICULT TO MAKE PLANS, PARTICULARLY ABOUT HIRING PEOPLE, MAKING A COMMITMENT FOR LONG TERM IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PRICES WILL BE AND IF YOU HAVE TO PAY A TARIFF ALONG THE LINE.

>> I DO WANT TO TELL YOU THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS RELEASES INFLATION FIGURES FOR LOCAL METROPOLITAN AREAS EVERY TWO MONTHS, NATIONALLY EVERY MONTH.

INFLATION TICKED UP 0.3% ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN DECEMBER.

2.7% OVER THE LAST YEAR NATIONALLY.

SPIKES FOR ENERGY, MEDICAL SERVICES AND HOUSING.

WE'VE SEEN THOSE SPIKES HERE IN SAN DIEGO.

>> HA, GREAT REPORTING.
