Protest planned outside of Camp Pendleton to oppose use of military against ICE demonstrations
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — A protest is expected to unfold Sunday afternoon outside the Main Gate of Camp Pendleton, where demonstrators are planning to gather to denounce the use of the military against civil protests in Los Angeles. On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth put Camp Pendleton Marines on high alert to be deployed to L.A. if needed in response to the widespread demonstrations, which have led to the use of flash-bangs and tear gas by law enforcement. Additionally, President Donald Trump ordered thousands of National Guard troops to be deployed Saturday night after a raid in Paramount earlier in the day. Those troops began arriving Sunday morning, showcasing a heavy military presence ahead of another day of demonstrations. VIDEO: 'Emergency' protest draws hundreds to South Park in opposition of ICE raids Beginning at noon on Sunday, dozens of San Diegans are expected to assemble outside Camp Pendleton's Main Gate to voice strong opposition to the use of military force on American soil in response to the demonstrations. According to a protest organizer, the gathering is also meant to show support for service members. FOX 5/KUSI reached out to Camp Pendleton for comment on the matter. A spokesperson released the following statement: 'Our priority is the safety and security of all Marines, Sailors, and residents on MCB Camp Pendleton. To ensure the safety and security of all, we do not disclose force protection details.' A spokesperson for the United States Northern Command also provided comment: 'At this time, we do not have anything to provide beyond the secretary's statement. I'll refer you back to President Trump's memorandum dated June 7, 2025. 'In addition, the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary to augment and support the protection of federal functions and property in any number determined appropriate in his discretion.'Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

UCSD students protest Trump cuts to science research funding
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — For the second time this year, students and faculty at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) staged a protest outside Geisel Library, demanding the federal government reverse deep education funding cuts imposed by the Trump administration — cuts they say are threatening research, jobs and the future of scientific innovation. Dozens of protesters gathered on campus, holding signs and sharing personal stories about how the loss of federal research grants is impacting their work and well-being. Dozens possibly detained by federal officials amid immigration raids in Los Angeles 'This year has been filled with many moments of insecurity,' said Eleanor Ketterer-Sykes, a first-year Ph.D. student in the neuroscience program. 'UCSD is one of the best science schools in the country because of its renowned research labs, you have access to labs at the Salk Institute, Sanford and Scripps as well as the VA Hospital — but that future is in jeopardy.' The Trump administration has canceled hundreds of research grants in recent months, citing concerns over 'ideologically driven science.' The cuts have targeted studies ranging from HIV prevention to violence prevention in children. UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla warned in an April letter that the university stands to lose between $75 million and $500 million annually as a result. 'As of May 30, there have been more than 150 federal grants terminated, resulting in a loss of $30 million,' said Lisa Eyler, a UCSD psychiatry professor. 'These cuts are already leading to layoffs among instructors, staff scientists, and support personnel like librarians.' 'No Kings Day' protests planned across California on June 14 The ripple effects could be felt beyond UCSD. Stanley Maloy, emeritus professor of microbiology at San Diego State University, said the cuts threaten the pipeline of future scientists and engineers. 'Reduced positions mean talented students are left behind,' Maloy said. 'As this innovation workforce dries up, our economy is going to suffer.' Eyler echoed those concerns, warning of a generational loss in scientific progress. 'There will be a gaping hole in the pipeline of future scientists, engineers and healthcare providers, which could result in the potential loss of an entire generation of great scientific thinkers,' she said. Thousands in San Diego protest cuts to federal education funds For Ketterer-Sykes, the issue is personal. She entered the neuroscience program hoping to make life-saving breakthroughs. 'So many people rely on scientific innovation — whether it be to find cures for diseases like tuberculosis or Alzheimer's disease,' she said. 'It really is vital to humanity.' While the exact financial toll remains uncertain, university leaders say the impact is already being felt — and may only get worse. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

San Diego Unified School District reaffirms position on immigration enforcement
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — San Diego Unified School District leaders reaffirmed their commitment Wednesday to keeping immigration enforcement agents off school campuses, promising to protect all students regardless of immigration status. At a press conference held at district headquarters in University Heights, Interim Superintendent Dr. Fabiola Bagula addressed growing community concerns following recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the South Park neighborhood. 'Every student, regardless of how they identify or where they come from, deserves to feel supported, safe and inspired to come to school,' Bagula said. Board trustee Richard Barrera criticized recent immigration raids, which took place near a local school as students were leaving afterschool programs. 'We don't ignore that it is an intentional attempt on the part of politicians in this country to strike fear into the hearts of our families,' Barrera said. District officials highlighted steps they've taken over the past year to safeguard undocumented students and their families. In December, the board passed a resolution prohibiting ICE agents from entering school campuses without a court order, judicial subpoena or parental consent. San Diego County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Gloria Ciriza emphasized that student safety is a prerequisite for learning. 'We know that our young people have a better chance to learn and grow in school if they feel safe, protected and welcome,' she said. In addition to policy changes, the district launched a website providing legal resources for undocumented and LGBTQIA+ students. Over the past school year, Bagula said more than 650 students and adults received services at the district's five Newcomer Welcome Centers. 'No confirmed reports of ICE on our campuses have been received in the last six months,' she added. Officials also announced the distribution of 10,000 'red cards,' which outline constitutional rights when interacting with immigration authorities. 'School will always be a safe haven for all of our students and all of our families,' Barrera said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
