Mexico has resisted vaccinating minors ages 12 to 17, in part because the government focused on older adults believed to be more vulnerable. So a group in San Diego along with San Diego County stepped in to help its neighbor. The effort comes as Mexico is starting to rollout vaccines for minors in many parts of the country this month, including in Baja California, the state bordering California. About 150 kids were brought over to the Mexican consulate in San Diego on Thursday where San Diego County nurses administered the Pfizer vaccine. About 80% of the adult populations in both San Diego County and in Baja California have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

Hunger in America Military Families A man receives food at an Armed Services YMCA food distribution, Oct. 28, 2021, in San Diego. He said the department will immediately provide a temporary increase in the housing allowance for troops who live in areas where rent costs have gone up by at least 10% this year. Lower-ranking enlisted troops receive modest pay, and their frequent moves make it difficult for spouses to find steady work. Service members who do not live on bases get a housing allowance, which is counted as income in calculating their eligibility for food stamps. Rep. James McGovern, D-Mass., has sought a Pentagon study of the problem and a repeal of the USDA’s Basic Allowance for Housing regulation.

The Pentagon will increase housing payments for troops in key areas and look into ways to combat hunger across the force,.

Hunger in America Military Families Brooklyn Pittman talks as she sits in her car with her dogs after receiving food from an Armed Services YMCA food distribution, Oct. 28, 2021, in San Diego. The problem is exacerbated by an obscure Agriculture Department rule that prevents thousands of needy military families from accessing the SNAP government assistance program, commonly known as food stamps. One of the strangest aspects of the problem is a mysterious Agriculture Department regulation that prevents thousands of needy military families from receiving food stamps. But the 2008 Food and Nutrition Act dictates that the allowance counts as income in calculating eligibility to receive SNAP benefits, and that ends up disqualifying thousands of military families. Duckworth has sponsored a bill that would establish a Basic Needs Allowance payment for military families in need.

SAN DIEGO — (AP) — After nearly a decade of planning, work has started at San Diego International Airport on a $3.4 billion project that will eventually replace the 1960s-era Terminal 1 and build a new airport access road.

SAN DIEGO — (AP) — The Biden administration on Friday launched a second bid to end a Trump-era policy to make asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for hearings in U.S. immigration court, while also reaffirming a commitment to reinstate it under court order. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the “Remain in Mexico” policy likely contributed to a drop in illegal border crossings in 2019 but with “substantial and unjustifiable human costs" to asylum-seekers who were exposed to violence while waiting in Mexico. Some of the administration's most prominent pro-immigration allies say it took too long for Mayorkas to draft Friday's opinion. The administration said earlier this month that it expected to reinstate the policy, known officially as “Migrant Protection Protocols,” by mid-November, subject to the Mexican government's approval. Administration officials say they believe there are enough other attorneys who will represent asylum-seekers sent back to Mexico.

SAN DIEGO — (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department is in talks to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to each child and parent who was separated under a Trump-era practice of splitting families at the border, a person familiar with discussions to settle lawsuits said Thursday.

A person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press that figure was under consideration but changed, though not dramatically.
