GOOD EVENING, IT IS WEDNESDAY APRIL 21st.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSKI.

WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING DEVELOPMENTS IN ESCONDIDO WHERE PROTEST IS ABOUT TO GET UNDERWAY IN CONNECTION TO A FATAL OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING.

REPORTER TANIA THORNE IS LIVE AT THE ESCONDIDO POLICE HEADQUARTERS WHERE THE PROTEST IS TAKING PLACE.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US?

>> Reporter: THANK YOU, WE ARE HERE AT THE ESCONDIDO POLICE HEADQUARTERS FOR A PROTEST THAT WILL START ANY MINUTE.

IT WAS ABOUT A SHOOTING THAT OCCURRED THIS MORNING IN ESCONDIDO.

PROTESTERS ARE GETTING READY AND THE BETHANY POLICE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED TO A CALL AROUND 7:00 A.M. ABOUT AN ADULT WHITE MALE IT IN CARS WITH A METAL OBJECT AT THE INTERSECTION OF SECOND AVENUE AND BROADWAY.

REPORTS SAY ONE OFFICER SHOT ONE SHOT AT THE MAN AND THE SUSPECT WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL AND LATER PRONOUNCED DEAD.

HIS IDENTITY HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED AND THE CASE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION.

NEARBY BUSINESSES SAID THEY HOPE THINGS DON'T GET OVERHAND AND THEY'RE HOPING EVERYTHING REMAINS PEACEFUL.

WE WILL GIVE UPDATES AS WE GET THEM.

BACK TO YOU.

>> JUSTICE IS SERVED IN ONE CASE WHERE THE WORK IS FAR FROM OVER.

PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING HERE IN SAN DIEGO, ARE DEMANDING POLICE REFORMS FOLLOWING THE CONVICTION OF DEREK CHAUVIN FOR THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD.

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS NOW INVESTIGATING THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT.

>> THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS OPENED A CIVIL INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT ENGAGES IN A PATTERN OF PRACTICE OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL OR UNLAWFUL POLICING.

>> RACHEL JUSTICE REPORTER CHRISTINA CAN HAS MORE ABOUT WHAT SOME SAN DIEGO CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS WANT TO SEE HAPPEN NEXT.

>> THIS WAS ACCOUNTABILITY.

IT IS NOT JUSTICE.

WE ARE DEMANDING THAT THE SYSTEM ITSELF NEEDS TO BE CHANGED WE NEED SYSTEMIC CHANGE WITHIN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, WITHIN POLICING.

I'M HERE FOR THAT.

I AM HERE TO CONTINUE THIS FIGHT BECAUSE THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

>> THE MESSAGE WAS CLEAR AS MEMBERS GATHERED AFTER FORMER POLICE OFFICER DEREK CHAUVIN WAS CONVICTED OF MURDERING GEORGE FLOYD.

THE VERDICT IS JUST BEGINNING.

THE REVEREND WAS PRESENT AT THE PEOPLE'S ASSOCIATION OF JUSTICE ADVOCATE IN SAN DIEGO.

>> TODAY WE ARE ASKING THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL AND THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO BE COURAGEOUS AND PASS A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE AND POLICING ACT OF 2021 WHICH WAS BROUGHT FORTH BY CONGRESSWOMAN KAREN BASS, THE GREAT CONGRESS MEMBER FROM THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES.

>> THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE AND POLICING ACT WOULD BAN CHOKEHOLDS, LIMIT QUALIFIED IMMUNITY, AND PROHIBIT RACIAL PROFILING.

IT PASSED THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN MARCH ALONG MOSTLY PARTY LINES.

BISHOP CORNELIUS OF THE CHARITY APOSTOLIC CHURCH SAYS THIS BILL WOULD HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT IN SAN DIEGO WHERE STUDIES ROUTINELY SHOW THAT POLICE ARE MORE LIKELY TO PULL OVER BLACK AND LATINO MEN.

>> IT WILL RADICALLY CHANGE HOW POLICING IS DONE IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND WE NEED THAT.

WE ALWAYS SAY THAT WE ARE TAKING A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, A SMALL STEP, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS BILL GETS PASSED WE WILL BE TAKING A RADICAL STEP AND THAT IS WHAT WE NEED IF WE ARE GOING TO REIMAGINE POLICING.

>> THE BILL HEADS TO THE SENATE BUT UNTIL THAT LOCAL LEADERS WANT SAN DIEGO TO MAKE A FORMAL RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL TO SHOW THAT SAN DIEGO IS TAKING REFORMS SERIOUSLY ON THE NATIONAL AND LOCAL LEVEL.

COUNTY SUPERVISOR NATHAN FLETCHER SAYS THE BOARD WILL TAKE A FORMAL VOTE ON WHETHER TO SUPPORT HR 1280 ON MAY 4th.

CHRISTINA CAN, NEWS.

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC VOICED CONCERNS AFTER INFORMATION WAS SURFACING THAT THE DEPARTMENT WAS SHARING DATA WITH I.C.E.

AND BORDER PATROL THROUGH A THIRD-PARTY SYSTEMS PROVIDER.

POLICE SAY THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THAT AND IMMEDIATELY STOPPED SHARING DATA.

THE PROGRAM ALLOWS CAMERAS ON POLICE VIDEOS TO TAKE PICTURES OF LICENSE PLATES AS OFFICERS DRIVE BY.

CHIEF ROXANA KENNEDY MENTIONED MURDER AND TRY TO SCARE US INTO THIS TECHNOLOGY.

THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT.

I LOVE LIVING HERE.

I FEEL SAFE WALKING DOWN THE STREETS EVEN PREGNANT AT NIGHT.

DON'T PAINT THE CITY AS THIS HORRIBLE MOSTLY -- AS VIOLENT.

>> THE MAYOR SUPPORTED THE VOTE SAYING CRIME IS RISING AND NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO TAKE AWAY CRIME-FIGHTING RESOURCES.

>>> THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN IMMIGRATION DETENTION IN THE U.S. REMAINS AT RECORD LOWS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

NOW REPORTER -- TELLS US THE ACLU OF SAN DIEGO AND IMPERIAL COUNTIES IS MAKING ANOTHER PUSH TO END THE USE OF PRIVATE IMMIGRATION DETENTION.

>> SINCE THE HIGH OVER 50,000 AND 2019 THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN DETENTION NATIONWIDE HAS FALLEN TO AROUND 15,000 PEOPLE.

LAWYERS WITH THE ACLU OF SAN DIEGO AND IMPERIAL COUNTIES SAY THAT DROP PROVES IMMIGRATION DETENTION IS UNNECESSARY WITH NO TANGIBLE IMPACT ON PUBLIC SAFETY OR THE FUNCTIONING OF IMMIGRATION COURT SYSTEMS.

>> THE BOTTOM LINE IS PEOPLE CAN BE RELEASED.

PEOPLE CAN BE RELEASED PURSUANT TO ORDERS -- LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AT ONCE.

THE SYSTEM WILL NOT FALL APART.

IT WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS IT HAS.

PEOPLE CONTINUE TO SHOW UP FOR IMMIGRATION COURT.

>> IN A NEW BRIEFING DISTRIBUTED THIS WEEK THE GROUP IS HIGHLIGHTING ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE AT THE -- MESA DETENTION CENTER WHICH IS RUN BY THE PRIVATE PRISON COMPANY.

THESE INCLUDE MEDICAL NEGLECT, POOR SANITATION, SEXUAL ABUSE, AND THE USE OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.

>> THIS RELIANCE ON THESE CORPORATIONS IN IMMIGRATION DETENTION AND INCARCERATION INCENTIVIZES MISTREATMENT AND ABUSE BY ENCOURAGING CORPORATIONS TO KEEP COSTS DOWN TO INCREASE PROFITS.

>> THE BRIEFING CALLS FOR THE CLOSURE OF OTAY MESA, AND ENFORCEMENT OF A NEW LAW BANNING THE USE OF PRIVATE PRISONS.

IMMIGRATIONS AND CUSTOMS EFFICIENT SIDE OF LAST-MINUTE CONTRACT EXTENSION WHICH AIMS TO CIRCUMVENT THE NEW LAW.

MEANING THAT COURT PACIFIC MY CONTINUE TO OPERATE FOR YEARS TO COME IN SAN DIEGO.

NEWS.

>>> A NEW REPORT FROM IMMIGRANT ADVOCACY GROUPS DECLARES THE PRESIDENT BIDEN IS CONTINUING MANY OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S MOST DESTRUCTIVE POLICIES ALONG THE BORDER.

THE REPORT SAYS THE USE OF TITLE 42 FIRST PUT IN PLACE EARLY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS KEEPING FAMILIES LGBTQ MIGRANTS AND BLACK MIGRANTS IN DANGEROUS BORDER CITIES INDEFINITELY.

NICOLE RAMOS IS A LAWYER WITH -- ADVOCATES ON BEHALF OF ASYLUM-SEEKERS IN TIJUANA.

SHE WAS IN CO-AUTHOR OF THE REPORT.

>> THE UNITED STATES IS AN EXCEPTIONAL COUNTRY.

WE ARE ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL NATIONS ON EARTH YET THE EXCUSES AS TO WHY 90 DAYS INTO THIS GOVERNMENT TITLE 42 HAS NOT BEEN REPEALED REALLY CHALLENGES THAT IMAGE THAT WE ARE PROJECTING TO THE WORLD.

>> THE REPORT CALLS FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO RESCIND TITLE 42 AND IMMEDIATELY RESTORE ASYLUM SAYING, THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH CAPACITY TO PROCESS ARRIVING FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS.

>>> WE COULD KNOW SOON IF A SINGLE DOSE OF JOHNSON & JOHNSON VACCINE WILL BE REAUTHORIZED FOR USE IN SAN DIEGO.REPORTER MATT HOFFMAN SAYS HAVING A THIRD VACCINE OPTION AGAIN WILL HELP US REACH HERD IMMUNITY FASTER.

>> WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY AREAS WHERE THERE IS A LACK OF DEMAND.

>> Reporter: THE COUNTY SUPERVISOR SAYS SUPPLY IS STILL NOT KEEPING UP WITH SAN DIEGO'S WANT TO GET VACCINATED.

>> THE VOLUME AND THE NUMBER OF FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN VACCINATED, WE CONTINUE TO SEE TREMENDOUS DEMAND.

I THINK THAT IS ENCOURAGING.

YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT THERE WILL BE MORE FIRST DOSE APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE.

>> Reporter: OFFICIALS DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER SAYS THIS WEEK WE COULD KNOW IF FEDERAL REGULATORS ARE GIVING THE OKAY TO RESUME USING THE SINGLE DOSE JOHNSON & JOHNSON VACCINE.

>> THEY BEGAN THIS ON FRIDAY AND WE WILL BE WAITING FOR THE INFORMATION THAT THEY HAVE TO SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC AS TO WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP IN CONTINUING TO OR NOT CONTINUING WITH THE J&J.

>> THIS WEEK THE COUNTY IS REPORTING THEY RECEIVED A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN DOSES DESPITE THE HOLD ON THE VACCINE.

WE HAVE HAD NEARLY 100,000 MORE DOSES THAN LAST WEEK, AND ENCOURAGING SIGN, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT EVERYONE AGED 16 AND OVER CAN BOOK APPOINTMENTS.

>> I WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AND GET VACCINATED.

>> Reporter: 3.2 MILLION DOSES HAVE BEEN DELIVERED COUNTYWIDE.

ONCE THEY START TO SEE A SLACK AN APPOINTMENT THEY WILL STEP UP ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS FOR THOSE HESITANT ABOUT GETTING VACCINATED.

AT THAT POINT WE WILL DO AGGRESSIVE OUTREACH AND WORK AND CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE IT IS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE.

>> Reporter: MATT HOFFMAN, NEWS.

>>> 200 MILLION SHOTS IN ARMS.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN SAYS TODAY THE COUNTRY REACHED THE VACCINATION GOAL HE HAD SET FOR HIS FIRST 100 DAYS IN OFFICE.

NOW HE IS APPEALING TO YOUNGER AMERICANS TO GET THEIR SHOTS.

>> IF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING YOUR TURN, WAIT NO LONGER.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR EVERYONE OVER 16 YEARS OF AGE TO GET VACCINATED.

UNLIKE THE TARGET GROUPS WHERE WE MADE SUCH GREAT PROGRESS, THE BROAD SWATH OF AMERICAN ADULTS STILL REMAIN LARGELY UNVACCINATED.

>> MORE THAN HALF OF ALL AMERICAN ADULTS HAVE RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE DOSE BUT ABOUT 130 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ONE.

THE WHITE HOUSE IS TRYING TO OVERCOME DIMINISHING DEMAND BY OFFERING BUSINESSES A TAX INCENTIVE TO GIVE EMPLOYEES PAID LEAVE TO GET VACCINATED AND AS REPORTER CLAIRE TRAGESER TELLS US, LOCAL UNIONS ARE ENCOURAGING THEIR MEMBERS TO GET COVID-19 VACCINES.

>> I SIGNED UP.

>> Reporter: LILY HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR A COVID-19 VACCINE APPOINTMENT EVERYWHERE.

WITH NO LUCK.

>> THE UNION AMAZINGLY ORGANIZED THESE CLINICS FOR THE EMPLOYEES.

IT WAS A HUGE RELIEF BECAUSE LOOKING BACK I REMEMBER IN THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC COMING BACK FROM WORK, LEAVING MY SHOES OUTSIDE, TAKING OFF MY CLOTHES, GOING STRAIGHT TO THE SHOWER.

IT WAS REALLY SCARY.

>> Reporter: SHE HAS BEEN A BONDS WORKER FOR 30 YEARS SO SHE TURNED TO AN ORGANIZATION SHE OFTEN TURNS TO FOR HELP.

HER UNION.

UNIONS ACROSS THE SAN DIEGO REGION ARE WORKING HARD TO GET THEIR MEMBERS VACCINATED.

THEY ARE EMPLOYING MANY OF THE SAME TACTICS THEY USED TO GET LAWS PASSED AND FAVORITE POLITICAL CANDIDATES ELECTED.

THEY ARE LOBBYING LAWMAKERS TO BRING ELIGIBILITY TO THEIR MEMBERS AND SECURING SEPARATE SUPPLIES OF VACCINES FROM STATE AND COUNTY OFFICIALS.

THEY HAVE ALSO LAUNCHED VACCINE AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS AMONG THEIR MEMBERS.

>> IT IS A TRUSTED INFORMATION SOURCE FOR PEOPLE.

>> THIS EPIDEMIOLOGY PROFESSOR SAYS ALL OF THIS WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT.

INCREASING HERD IMMUNITY IN A UNIONIZED WORKPLACES AND VACCINATION RATES IN LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES.

>> Reporter: HE IS PRESIDENT OF THE FOOD WORKERS UNION AND TODD SAYS THEY HAVE MADE IT EASY FOR MEMBERS TO SIGN UP FOR VACCINE APPOINTMENT AT UNION RUN CLINICS AND ARE ENCOURAGING THOSE WHO ARE VACCINE HESITANT TO GET THE SHOT.

>> WHEN YOU VISIT MEMBERS ON A JOB SITE, PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THAT REALLY IS BECAUSE YOU SEE PEOPLE ON THE JOB SITE AND YOU HAVE A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEM WHERE THEY TRUST YOU.

THEY SHARE INFORMATION WITH YOU.

THE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS UNION SUCCESSFULLY LOBBIED THE GOVERNOR TO ADD UTILITY WORKERS TO TEAR 1 B SO THEY CAN RECEIVE BEGIN GETTING VACCINES.

NOW THE BUSINESS MANAGER FOR THE LOCAL BRANCH SAYS MORE THAN 50% OF HIS MEMBERS ARE VACCINATED.

YOUR UNION IS ONE OF YOUR MOST TRUSTED SOURCES OF INFORMATION.

PEOPLE GET INUNDATED WITH INFORMATION FROM THEIR EMPLOYER, FROM THEIR COMMUNITY GROUPS, BUT WHEN SOMEONE IS A MEMBER OF THE UNION AND THAT UNION IS COMMUNICATING TO THEM DIRECTLY ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF AN ISSUE, WHETHER IT IS A CANDIDATE THAT IS A WORKER CHAMPION THAT WE REALLY WANT TO GET ON A SCHOOL BOARD OR AN IRRIGATION BOARD OR CITY COUNCIL OR AN EMPLOYER -- EXCUSE ME, OR THE IMPORTANCE OF WEARING A MASK OR GETTING A VACCINATION.

STUDY AFTER STUDY SHOWS THAT WORKERS INVOLVED WITH THE UNION, WORKERS THAT ARE MEMBERS OF THE UNION, THEY TRUST A MESSAGE COMING FROM THEIR UNION.

>> Reporter: BRIDGET BROWNING, RESIDENT OF UNITE HERE LOCAL 30, A HOTEL WORKERS UNION, SO SHE IS LETTING HER MEMBERS KNOW THAT SKIPPING THE VACCINE MAY COST THE WORK.

>> I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY TELL OUR MEMBERS IF YOU DON'T GET VACCINATED AND THIS CUSTOMER SAYS YOU CANNOT BE IN THEIR BANQUET ROOM, YOU CANNOT BE IN THEIR BANQUET ROOM.

>> Reporter: EVEN FOR NONUNION WORKERS, PRESSURE FROM COWORKERS AND FRIENDS CAN OFTEN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN WHETHER THEY TAKE THE SHOT.

SHE IS THE SUSHI MANAGER AT SUSHI DELI MISSION HILLS AND SAYS AT FIRST MANY OF THE COWORKERS DID NOT WANT THE VACCINE BUT NOW THEY ARE COMING AROUND.
