Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Jet skis drop off illegal migrants on California beach before capture (amedpost.com) — A recent video shows suspected smugglers dropping off two migrants by jet ski on the shore at Imperial Beach before one is quickly detained by a lone officer on an ATV. The incident, shared by a San Diego community organizer, highlights growing use of Pacific Ocean routes for migrant smuggling and raises fresh concerns for residents about coastal security and safety along this stretch of beach.
• Coronado officially joins nonprofit San Diego Community Power, eyes 2028 for service (kpbs.org) — Imperial Beach is already part of San Diego Community Power, the nonprofit energy provider that Coronado has now voted to join for cleaner electricity options. For local residents, the expansion underscores the stability and growing scale of this alternative to SDG&E, which aims to keep rates competitive while increasing renewable power across participating South Bay and county communities.
• Candidates Call on Mayor to Hire COO – [your]NEWS (yournews.com) — Imperial Beach's shoreline is closed again after heavy weekend rains in the Tijuana River watershed sent more than 168 million gallons of polluted water surging toward the coast. County tests found bacteria levels off the pier up to 50 times above safe limits, underscoring how cross-border sewage flows continue to disrupt local beach access despite ongoing efforts to fix the problem.
