>>> RESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS REVIVING ONE OF THE SIGNATURE POLICIES OF HIS FIRST ADMINISTRATION, THE TRAVEL BAN.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, I AM MAYA TRABULSI.

THE LATEST VERSION APPLIES TO PEOPLE FROM A DOZEN COUNTRIES, SET TO TAKE EFFECT MONDAY.

ANDREW DYER SAYS IT'S JUST THE LATEST OF SEVERAL ACTIONS THAT HAVE EFFECTIVELY ENDED AFGHAN RESETTLEMENT.

>> Reporter: ON DAY ONE OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THE PRESIDENT SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER SUSPENDING REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT.

IN MAY TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS ENDED FOR THOUSANDS OF AFGHANS RESETTLED IN THE U.S. AFTER KABUL FELL TO THE TALIBAN IN 2021.

AND STARTING THIS MONDAY ONLY VISA HOLDERS FROM AFGHANISTAN WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE U.S.

IN A STATEMENT ADVOCACY GROUP AFGHANEVAC CALLED THE NEW TRAVEL BAN A DISGRACE.

>> WE HAVE 5000 AFGHANS LEAVING ON 28 FLIGHTS A MONTH FROM KABUL.

IT IS WORKING REALLY WELL.

>> Reporter: SHAWN VANDIVER IS A NAVY VETERAN WHO HELPED START AFGHANEVAC.

SINCE 2021 THE ORGANIZATION HAS WORKED FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO RESETTLE AFGHANS FACING PERSECUTION FOR HELPING THE U.S. DURING ITS TWENTY-YEAR OCCUPATION.

VANDIVER SAID EVEN WHEN THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING IT WAS NOT ENOUGH.

NOW, THE DOOR IS EFFECTIVELY CLOSED.

>> THERE ARE MANY WE HAVE LEFT BEHIND.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DEGRADING THE INFRASTRUCTURE WE BUILT UP MEANS THEY WILL BE STUCK A LOT LONGER.

>> Reporter: THE NEW TRAVEL BAN DOESN'T AFFECT AFGHANS ALREADY HERE ALTHOUGH OTHER ACTIONS HAVE LEFT MANY AT RISK OF HAVING THEIR LEGAL STATUS REVOKED.

AFGHAN RESETTLEMENT WAS POPULAR WITH MANY HOUSE REPUBLICANS AND VANDIVER SAYS IT STILL IS.

>> WE STILL ENJOY PARTISAN SUPPORT ACROSS CONGRESS.

THE QUESTION IS DOES IT MATTER TO THE PRESIDENT.

IT DOESN'T SEEM TO.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS MAY SOUND GOOD BUT MIGHT NOT EVEN MATTER.

>> THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE AS DEGRADED AS IT IS AND THEY ARE TRYING TO TURN IT OFF IMMEDIATELY.

>> Reporter: ANDREW DYER, KPBS NEWS.

>>> SAN DIEGO UNIFIED OFFICIALS ARE REAFFIRMING THEIR COMMITMENT TO BEING A WELCOMING DISTRICT FOR ALL.

PRESIDENT, BEFORE PRESIDENT TRUMP TOOK OFFICE THEY TOOK STEPS TO PREPARE EDUCATORS FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF I.C.E.

AGENTS VISITING SCHOOLS AND GAVE PARENTS AND TEACHERS RESOURCES TO KNOW THEIR RIGHTS.

-- DID THIS IN ANTICIPATION RATHER OF POSSIBLE ACTIONS AGAINST IMMIGRANT RIGHTS, LGBTQ RIGHTS, AND THE RIGHTS OF OTHER MARGINALIZED GROUPS.

>> THE TRUEST THING I KNOW IS THAT YOU CANNOT LEARN IF YOU ARE WORRIED, IF YOU ARE SCARED, OR FEARFUL OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE FACT WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THIS TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS TO BE WELL BUT ALSO TO DO WELL.

>> DISTRICT OFFICIALS SAID TO DATE NO IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOM -- ON ANY OF ITS CAMPUSES.

>>> WE HAVE BEEN KEEPING COOL AND COMFORTABLE WITH OUR JUNE GLOOM I GUESS YOU COULD SAY AS THE CLOUDS CONTINUE TO STAY IN PLACE FOR US HEADING THROUGH TONIGHT.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL MEETS TOMORROW TO DISCUSS CHANGES TO THE PROPOSED CITY BUDGET.

KPBS EDUCATION REPORTER KATIE ANASTAS REPORTS.

>> Reporter: ALL 37 BRANCHES WOULD CLOSE ON SUNDAYS AND MONDAYS SAVING THE CITY OVER $8 MILLION.

IMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ADVOCATES HAVE ARGUED THAT ACROSS-THE- BOARD CUTS AREN'T FAIR TO COMMUNITIES THAT NEED LIBRARY RESOURCES THE MOST.

>> PEOPLE HAVE REALLY TURNED OUT AND SAID THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT BUDGETING IS HARD, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A SET OF PRIORITIES THAT WE WANT TO BUDGET FOR, AND WE DO THAT AS INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES.

WE DO THAT IN OUR COMMUNITIES, AND WE EXPECT OUR CITY TO DO THE SAME THING.

THERE ARE PRIORITIES WE HAVE, AND WE ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE THOSE UP.

>> Reporter: NEXT SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL DISCUSS THEIR BUDGET PRIORITIES.

8 OUT OF 9 SAID THEY WANT TO SEE LIBRARY HOURS RESTORED ESPECIALLY ON MONDAYS.

A NEW REPORT FROM THE CITY'S INDEPENDENT BUDGET ANALYST OUTLINES THE BUDGET AND STAFFING NEEDS FOR A PORTION OF BRANCHES INCLUDING 10 LIBRARIES OFFERING AFTER SCHOOL HOMEWORK HELP YOU AND MONDAY HOURS WOULD COST ABOUT $3 MILLION FOR THE FULL DAY, AND $2 MILLION FOR A HALF DAY.

MEMBERS ALSO WANT TO AVOID CUTTING RECREATION CENTER HOURS.

THAT COULD COST BETWEEN 300,000- $300 MILLION DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF CENTERS INCLUDED.

>> THE GUN PEOPLE IN THESE COMMUNITIES OFTEN DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER OPTION.

>> Reporter: COUNCILMEMBER SAYING ONE WAY TO PAY FOR RESTORED HOURS IS MOVE UP THE START DATE FOR PAID PARKING.

GLORIA'S BUDGET SUGGESTS CHARGING FOR PARKING STARTING JANUARY 1st.

RIVERA AND OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS AS A STARTING BY LABOR DAY COULD BRING IN ANOTHER $5.5 MILLION.

HE SAYS THE CITY COULD ALSO CONSIDER CHARGING NON-RESIDENTS TO PARK AT THE ZOO.

>> WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE THE CAPACITY AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND MAKING THOSE FOLKS PAY.

WHY WOULD WE NOT DO THAT?

THE BENEFIT COULD BE REOPENING LIBRARIES, NEVER SHUTTING DOWN LIBRARIES OR REC CENTERS OR PARKS.

>> Reporter: THE CITY COUNCIL WILL DISCUSS THE REPORT FRIDAY AND WILL MAKE MODIFICATIONS AND ADOPT A FINAL BUDGET ON TUESDAY.

AT 31% THAT NUMBER HASN'T BEEN THIS LOW IN FIVE DECADES.

NOR IS IT SHOCKING THAT THEIR NEWS HABITS ARE FRACTURED, OR THAT THERE IS A STRAIGHT LINE BETWEEN THE TYPE OF MEDIA AMERICANS CONSUME IN THEIR VIEWPOINTS.

HERE WITH ME FOR AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE, THE NEWS PUBLIC MATTERS REPORTER, AMITA SHARMA.

BREAK IT DOWN FOR US.

HOW ARE AMERICANS CONSUMING THE NEWS?

>> WELL A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE GETTING THEIR NEWS FROM DEVICES, NO SURPRISE , A COMPUTER, TABLET, SMART PHONE.

29% OF THEM ARE GOING TO ACTUAL NEWS WEBSITES.

THE REST OF THEM ARE GOING TO SOCIAL MEDIA.

I BELIEVE FACEBOOK IS THE MOST POPULAR FOLLOWED BY YOUTUBE, THEN INSTAGRAM.

AND ANOTHER SURPRISE, ACTUALLY ANOTHER POINT THAT'S NOT A SURPRISE IS MOST OF THESE PEOPLE TEND TO BE YOUNGER.

ALISA IS A SENIOR RESEARCHER AT THE PEW RESEARCH CENTER WHICH COLLECT THE DATA, AND SHE SAYS IT IS VERY COMMON FOR PEOPLE TO GET THEIR NEWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY CHANCE.

>> Reporter: BACK TO HOW PEOPLE GET THEIR INFORMATION, ABOUT A THIRD OF AMERICANS OFTEN TURN TO TV FOR THEIR NEWS.

FEWER STILL FOR RADIO AND PRINT.

THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF SUBSCRIBERS.

10.8 MILLION.

FOLLOWED BY SUBSTATE, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, AND THE WASHINGTON POST.

FOX NEWS REMAINS THE MOST POPULAR CABLE NEWS CHANNEL, THEN MSNBC, WITH CNN IN THIRD.

A POLL JUST CAME OUT FROM THE DATA FIRM U GUV REAFFIRMING WHAT MOST OF US ALREADY KNOW, DEMOCRATS ARE MUCH MORE INCLINED TO BELIEVE THE NEWS THAN REPUBLICANS, BUT THE LATTER'S FAITH GREW FROM LAST YEAR.

DEMOCRATS TRUST PBS, BBC, AND NBC THE MOST.

REPUBLICANS, FOX NEWS, FOXBUSINESS CHANNEL, AND NEWSMAX.

TWO LOCAL VOTERS NEWS HABITS MATCH THE POLL.

>> SO WHEN I HAVE THE TV ON AT HOME USUALLY IT'S ON FOX NEWS.

AND THEN I DO FOLLOW FOX NEWS ONLINE, I FOLLOW REAL AMERICA'S VOICES, NEWSMAX, AND I LIKE TO LISTEN TO PODCASTS, SO I FOLLOW THEM A LOT AS WELL.

WELL MARY JO WHO LEANS DEMOCRATIC READS THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST, THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, AND THE SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE DAILY.

SHE WATCHES NBC NIGHTLY NEWS AND CNN.

>> YOU ARE ON A QUEST TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING, WHAT IF YOU LIVE IN A WORLD OF STATEMENTS WHERE THIS IS IT, THIS IS A STATEMENT, THIS IS THE BEGINNING , THE END, THEN THE ROOT OF THE WORD IS STATE.

YOU ARE IN A STATE.

AND YOU ARE NOT IN ANY KIND OF MOTION AT ALL.

>> Reporter: HE ADVOCATES FOR PEOPLE TO CONSUME THE NEWS WITH A DOSE OF SKEPTICISM.

>> BUT THAT TAKES AN ACTIVE PARTICIPATORY INACTION ON THE PART OF THE CONSUMER TO MAYBE SAY I WONDER IF THAT IS TRUE.

AND SO THEN MAYBE I WILL CHECK ANOTHER SOURCE OR WAIT A DAY.

>> Reporter: JUST ONE MORE POINT ON TRUST IN THE MEDIA, MAYA.

SO BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS HAVE ABOUT THE SAME LEVEL OF TRUST IN FINANCIAL NEWS SOURCES SUCH AS FORBES, OR THE ECONOMIST.

BUT, THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS SOURCE IN AMERICA, WAIT FOR IT, IS-- THE WEATHER CHANNEL.

>> THE WEATHER CHANNEL?

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SURPRISING INFORMATION, AND FOR BREAKING THIS ALL DOWN FOR US.

THERE'S A PUBLIC PARK CALLED JASMINE BEING.

YOU CAN LOOK AT THE TOURIST BROCHURES AND SEE IT IS BEAUTIFUL JASMINE DEAN.

WELL WHEN MR. MOORE CAME TO SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND STARTED DEVELOPING THE AREA ON THE EAST SIDE OF INTERSTATE 15 IT MADE HIM THINK OF THAT PLACE SO FAR AWAY.

SO HE CALLED HIS PROJECT JASMINE DEAN ESTATES.

IT WAS SOLD AGAIN.

THE NEW OWNER PLEDGING TO MAKE FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS, AND HE DID.

AND AFTER ALL THESE YEARS AND MUCH MORE DEVELOPMENT, THE NAME HAS STUCK.

LOOK ON MAPS NEAR ESCONDIDO IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN AND WONDERED, THAT IS HOW IT IS PRONOUNCED, BY THE WAY, JESMOND DENE.

DECADES LATER I BIT MR. MOORE WOULD APPRECIATE IT IS STILL REMEMBERED AND PERHAPS ESPECIALLY SO THAT THERE IS OUR COUNTY'S OWN JESMOND DENE PARK THERE.
