California lawmakers sue Trump administration as San Diego County cares for 11,000 asylum seekers
By Eli Rosenberg Eli Rosenberg General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow April 4 at 5:53 AM San Diego county’s Republican-dominated board of supervisors filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against the Trump administration, claiming that policy changes in the way the federal government treats asylum seekers have strained the city’s finances and health services.
The lawsuit, which was filed in District Court in Southern California, amounts to one more rebuke of the Trump administration’s harsh immigration policies and rhetoric by a border city. In Nogales, Ariz., officials formally condemned the installation of six rows of razor wire the military installed on the U.S. side of existing border fence in the city, saying they feared it made residents less safe. In El Paso, county officials passed a resolution saying they were disillusioned by President Trump’s claims about the supposed lawlessness and dangers of the border.
