San Diego mayor releases statement on smoky ICE raid in South Park
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria is speaking out against a federal immigration enforcement operation that took place Friday afternoon at two well-known eateries in the South Park neighborhood. Federal agents carried out the raid at Buona Forchetta and Enoteca Buona Forchetta, prompting swift backlash from local leaders and community members. In a statement issued Saturday, Mayor Gloria criticized the timing, nature and impact of the operation. Severe geomagnetic storm could spark auroras, disrupt communications next week 'Like many San Diegans, I was deeply upset by Friday night's immigration enforcement operation at Buona Forchetta and Enoteca Buona Forchetta in South Park,' Gloria said. 'Federal actions like these are billed as a public safety measure, but it had the complete opposite effect.' The mayor described the raid as damaging to public trust and counterproductive to community safety, emphasizing that it stoked fear rather than security. 'What we saw undermines trust and creates fear in our community,' he said. Gloria added that he personally raised his concerns with Homeland Security Investigations leadership on Saturday morning. He vowed to continue advocating for policies that prioritize 'respect, dignity, rights, and security' for all San Diegans. Loyal customers lined up at the restaurants on Saturday to show their support, many of them expressing outage regarding the incident. As it stands, officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement say an investigation into the controversial operation is ongoing. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

I Will Survive icon Gloria Gaynor insists she's not a 'feminist'
Gloria Gaynor doesn't consider herself a "feminist". The 81-year-old disco icon - who is best known for her defiant anthem 'I Will Survive' - has insisted she "loves men", and explained that the notion she embraces feminism is the biggest misconception people have about her. She told the Metro newspaper's 60 Seconds column: "People say to me, 'And since you're a feminist...' Erm, no. Not really. "I love men. I grew up with five brothers, and I love men. "I love men who know who they are and are strong enough to take their place, but also strong enough to recognise a woman's strengths and who are able to allow her to exercise those strengths and realise that women are to be partners and not opponents." Gloria noted that her 2003 documentary 'Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive' - which reflected on the previous 10 years of her live - was a way for her to show her true self for her fans. She said: "It's sort of an outgrowth of the song 'I Will Survive' because, you know, you can have a dinner for people and you can serve wonderful dishes and all of that, but I wonder how many of them questioned, did you get this from the supermarket? "Did you get this from a restaurant? Or did you make it yourself? "And when you can show them the ingredients that went into making whatever it is you made, then they can enjoy it better and they can experience it more fully, and they can make it their own, so that's what I've done." Gloria embraced the same approach with her own life, and explained how people often project their own feelings and experiences on their favourite artists. She added: "I think that, when people see an artist, they make up in their minds different things that they feel about them from what they've seen on stage, but what they are really doing is adding things to their own lives, because that's all they have to work with, until something like a documentary comes out and shows them what the real ingredients are."
