By Eli Rosenberg Eli Rosenberg General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow April 3 at 11:21 PM San Diego county’s Republican-dominated Board of Supervisors filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against the Trump administration, claiming that policy changes to 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 on Wednesday, amounts to another rebuke of the Trump administration’s harsh immigration policies and rhetoric from a border city. In Nogales, Ariz., officials formally condemned the installation of six rows of razor wire the military installed on the American 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.
