The latest shutdown order from the state has put an Otay Mesa business at risk of closing permanently. Plus, the surge of positive COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations has doctors and nurses bracing for the worst. And early numbers from some large school districts in the county show a jump in D's and F's during the first full semester of distance learning. Then a federal court ruling has restored the DACA program just weeks before Joe Biden, who promised to uphold DACA, takes office as President of the United States. Meanwhile some San Diego County DACA recipients have been left in limbo amid the pandemic. Plus, a little-known internal board that reviews use-of-force incidents at the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is being challenged in a federal lawsuit. Finally, we talk to San Diego journalist Roger Showley about his book “San Diego Memories: A Time of Change: The 1960s and 1970s.”
