For more than 20 years, San Diego County has barred its 18 federally recognized tribes from expanding their reservations, a reaction prompted by concerns over a sudden surge of casino construction.
That blanket prohibition was lifted Wednesday by the Board of Supervisors, who voted to end their decades-long opposition to fee-to-trust applications, the process by which tribes can petition to annex property. The practice has long been a source of contention for local Indigenous tribes, who need to transfer the land they purchase into trust in order to build housing and essential resources.
The board also voted to remove absolute opposition to liquor licenses on tribal lands and to establish a liaison between the tribes and the county
San Francisco followed with 12 reported incidents compared to five from the same period last year for a 140% increase and Los Angeles reported an 80% increase with nine hate crimes, compared to five during the same period last year.
“This year’s first quarter increase follows a historic surge in Anti-Asian hate crime that started last year,” researchers wrote. “Last year’s first spike occurred in March and April amidst a rise in COVID cases, a World Health Organization pandemic declaration, and an increase in political and online stigmatizing of Asians.”
The Center’s researchers counted 122 incidents of anti-Asian hate crimes in the same 16 cities for all of 2020, itself a 150% increase over 2019, meaning that the surge in early 2021 is building off an already high base.
