SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego prosecutors have filed petitions to lift all civil gang injunctions in San Diego County, removing about 350 names from the court orders that officials say impose burdensome barriers on individuals who have turned their lives around, it was announced Tuesday.
The injunctions are court orders prohibiting people identified as gang members from associating with other gang members or committing crimes in specific geographical areas, similar to restraining orders. The injunctions remain in effect for life unless a person on the list applies for removal and meets certain criteria, though many are unaware of how to start the process of getting their name removed, according to the San Diego County District Attorney s Office.

CHULA VISTA (KUSI) – Two men who pleaded guilty to attacking participants at a Black Lives Matter protest in Imperial Beach last summer and punching a Black journalist covering the event were sentenced today to probation terms.
Jeffrey Brooks, 39, and Henry Brooks Jr., 33, both admitted hate crime allegations in connection with the June 7 attacks on Marcus Boyd and a group of protesters.
Prosecutors accused the men of “verbally and physically antagonizing” participants in the march at the Imperial Beach Pier Plaza.
Henry Brooks Jr. threw eggs at the demonstrators and the older defendant sucker-punched Boyd in the head as he was recording the protest, causing him to fall backward and hit his head on the ground, according to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office.
