Changes by the Biden administration meant to make it easier for Ukranians to enter the United States have had the opposite effect for those stuck in Tijuana. Plus, the controversy over racially insensitive comments made by the San Dieguito Union High School District's superintendent is taking on a new dimension. Then, San Diego will soon join a growing number of California cities that prohibit retailers from selling flavored tobacco products. Later, an update on California’s high speed rail project. Meanwhile, the military is taking a hard line on troops seeking religious exemptions to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Finally, novelist Don Winslow has used the San Diego/Tijuana border locale as the backdrop for some of his most famous crime novels. But now he’s turning to the East Coast for his latest trilogy.
