The county of San Diego is seeking to build a migrant tent city on individually owned farmland to house “immigrants coming across the border,” according to an email reviewed by the
Washington Examiner.
This is in addition to a mini-city constructed within the San Diego Convention Center last month, which welcomed 1,450 migrant children who came through the Texas border. On Tuesday, the county created a $5 million fund to provide free legal services for migrants to fight deportation.
It s not clear where the population would come from because the Biden administration has said the California border is closed.

SANTA CRUZ, CA In the annals of California history, no one has ever had to put a broken state park back together. There’s no guidebook, no rules. So now state officials and conservationists are attempting a complex and extraordinary Humpty Dumpty project: The reawakening of Big Basin Redwoods State Park.
SAN JOSE, Calif. â Nearly eight months after Gov. Gavin Newsom visited Big Basin Redwoods State Park to tour the damage after a major wildfire, green sprouts are coming back on the blackened trunks of the parkâs ancient redwoods. But not much else has changed on the charred landscape.
Hazardous trees pose a risk. The wreckage of burned buildings and vehicles from the Aug. 19 wildfire still hasnât been cleared. State officials havenât completed a damage estimate of how much it will cost to rebuild. And the process for holding public meetings to construct new facilities at Big Basin â Californiaâs oldest state park, whose soaring redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains attracted 1 million visitors a year â hasnât yet begun.
