Camp Pendleton teams up with ICE to enhance security at Base gates
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, in a multi-agency collaboration, is working to boost security at Base gates in an effort to deter unauthorized access by foreign nationals, the Marine Corps Base announced Friday.
The Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton has announced a security initiative in coordination with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) to deter unauthorized installation access by foreign nationals and reinforce layered base defense strategies in alignment with Department of Defense homeland defense priorities and national security objectives.
ICE agents will be supporting Camp Pendleton's Provost Marshal's Office with identity verification and access screening operations at designated entry control points.
NCIS and CBP will be working on interagency coordination, intelligence exchange, andoperational planning to enhance visibility, deterrence, and early threat detection across critical access nodes, according to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.

'Marine Corps installations are essential to the readiness, modernization, and global reach of our operating forces,' said Brig. Gen. Nick I. Brown, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations West. 'Any activity that undermines that mission — including unauthorized incursions — will be unequivocally addressed. This cooperation represents a commitment to safeguarding the force and the families who support it.'
Officials are urging drivers to confirm their GPS routes in advance so they don't end up at Base gates unintentionally, as commercial navigation systems do not always reflect geo-fencing around Camp Pendleton's restricted areas.
The Marine Corps Base says anyone without valid credentials may be subject to additional screening, in accordance with federal guidelines.

Uber is launching a new Creative Studio for brands
BY Everyday, Uber books more than 30 million rides around the world. Each of these trips tells the company something about its customers. Where they're going, what they're doing, and when they are there. Then there are the tens of millions of Uber Eats orders processed each day, which clocks what people are buying, how often, and when. Combined, you have an incredibly valuable collection of data for other brands to use in order to get our attention. Now, Uber is officially launching its own in-house Creative Studio to help brands to do exactly that. The new division of Uber Advertising will be working with brands to create not only adds on its digital platform, but custom IRL experiences like special ride offers, giveaways, and more. Uber's global head of sales Megan Ramm says that this is more about formalizing something brands have been asking for given how the company's platform is such a natural bridge between our online and offline lives. 'Uber is where we feel culture shows up in real life,' says Ramm. 'When something big is happening in the world, we see it on Uber. If it's an event or a product drop, a concert, or even coming home from the office, it's all happening in real life. And we're seeing that's when and how brands want to connect with people that are using the platform.' The rapid rise of retail media networks in recent years is well-documented. Everything from store shelves to ecommerce apps have become media opportunities for advertising. Dentsu research has reported that 75% of US consumers are influenced by brands advertised in-store, and eMarketer reported that U.S. Retail Media Ad spending was up by $4 billion in 2024. This new offering from Uber makes perfect sense. The company has already long utilized the captive audience on its apps as a vehicle for brands to get our attention, now it's expanding that to actually working to craft a wider variety of ways for brands to do just that. The extended deadline for Fast Company's Brands That Matter Awards is this Friday, June 6, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.

Here's what to know about parking and traffic restrictions for the U.S. Open at Oakmont this week
Information on parking and traffic restrictions for the U.S. Open at Oakmont Information on parking and traffic restrictions for the U.S. Open at Oakmont Information on parking and traffic restrictions for the U.S. Open at Oakmont With upwards of 200,000 people expected to attend the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club this week, here are some things to know about parking options and traffic restrictions that will be in place. All eyes in the golf world will be set on Oakmont as the club is hosting the U.S. Open, often referred to as golf's toughest test, for a record 10th time. The championship is being played from June 12 to June 15. With hundreds of thousands of people descending on the fabled grounds of the historic club, you can expect the parking and traffic situations to be much more congested than on a normal day. Danny Sink, Senior Director of U.S. Open Championships for the United States Golf Association, says that the traffic and congestion will start to ramp up today. An aerial view shows the championship setup for the upcoming 125th playing of the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. KDKA Drone Team / KDKA Photojournalist Brian Smithmyer "We like to stress that it is a seven day event even though we don't start keeping score until Thursday," Sink said. Sink says that for the first practice round day ahead of the tournament, the USGA expects 18,000 to 20,000 people in attendance, and that number will crescendo as the week goes on, peaking around 40,000 people on Friday and Saturday. With the massive amounts of people expected to flood the Oakmont area, Sink says the best thing you can do is "practice a little patience." "If you have an alternate route to not use Hulton Road or use the corridor going through Plum, Oakmont, Allegheny River Boulevard, or Allegheny Avenue, we're not telling people those roads are closed by any stretch because they're not," Sink said. "We're just suggesting if there is an alternate route for you and you're not coming to the championship, it might be better for you during the week of the Open." Where will I be able to park for the U.S. Open? For fans attending the U.S. Open, there will be no parking within Oakmont or Plum. Complimentary parking will be available at the RED lot at Hartwood Acres (around 10 miles northwest of the club) and at the BLUE lot at Monroeville Mall (around 10 miles south of the club). Fans heading to the tournament using I-79, I-279, the the eastbound lanes of Turnpike, Rt. 28, Rt. 8, and those coming from the western and northern parts of the area are encouraged to use the RED lot. KDKA The BLUE lot is recommended for fans traveling using the westbound lanes of the Turnpike, the Parkway East, Rt. 30, Rt. 22, and those coming from the eastern and southern parts of the area. Sink says using the satellite parking lots is the most effective way to get to the tournament. "You get parked, we load you on a bus immediately, get you on the Turnpike and get you to the championship as quickly as possible, avoiding traffic delays in Harmar, Verona, Blawnox, Penn Hills, and all the surrounding communities," Sink said. The USGA says that 130 buses will be running daily from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. to shuttle fans from both lots to the tournament. The shuttles to the championship are expected to take around 25 minutes and will drop fans off around 150 yards from Gate 1, the main entrance for spectators, located on the other side of the Turnpike from Oakmont's clubhouse. "It starts from when you park your car in our general fan parking lots to the time you leave at the end of the day, we try to make sure your experience is top notch from beginning to end," Sink said. The USGA also says that people who live near Oakmont Country Club will be given tags for their vehicles that will allow them to access local roads and neighborhoods near the tournament that will be otherwise closed to traffic. Where can I get an Uber or Lyft to pick me up or drop me off? If you're planning on using a ride share app like Uber or Lyft to get to or from the U.S. Open or planning on having someone drop you off or pick you up, there will be a designated place located a short walk from the tournament. The USGA says that the Tenth Street Elementary School located on Pennsylvania Avenue in Oakmont Borough will serve as the designated drop-off and pick-up location for the tournament. KDKA "We certainly won't allow any drop offs on Hulton Road or Coxcomb Hill Road or any of the surrounding areas," Sink said. From the drop-off location to the closest entrance to the championship will be around a 1/2 mile walk. Ride share and passenger drop-offs and pickups at the school will be limited to vehicles no larger than 15 passengers. Larger vehicles for groups or by private buses will need to use the RED lot at Hartwood Acres or the BLUE lot at Monroeville Mall. COMPLETE U.S. OPEN COVERAGE:

Subdued Tone Among Hotel REITs at Nareit Conference
The DJIA was up 443 points while Nasdaq was up 232, the S&P 500 rose 61 points while the 10-year treasury yield was up .12 to 4.51%. Lodging stocks were higher. BHR was the mover of note, up 5%. The common opinion from those at the NAREIT conference was that the tone was more subdued than from the C-Corps, which was interesting considering uncertainty was the conclusion in describing the tone at NYU. The public hotel brands always seem more bullish, but the private companies, consultants, and other non-REIT executives were cautious. Truist said they think the subdued tone could be because of frustration with REIT stock prices, as insiders at the hotel REITs have been buyers of their stocks lately. It could also be the lackluster transaction market, interest rate volatility, and, once again, the general uncertainty. As far as business is concerned, none of them said business has taken a turn in the negative direction, but they also didn't say things are better than they look. Baird said their take is that the shorter booking window, calendar shift impacts, consumer pricing sensitivity, and general macro uncertainties are keeping management team outlooks and convictions held in check. They expect REITs to continue to be net sellers of assets and purchasers of their own stock. The Baird-STR Hotel Stock Index showed a rebound in hotel stocks in May, up 9.3% from April, the first month-to-month gain since January.
