Good morning, Escondido.

On Friday evening, Escondido celebrated phase two of the Grand Avenue Vision Project as wider sidewalks and new roundabouts improved walking access and marked the 25th year of the Cruisin' Grand car show.

The car show will run every Friday from 4 to 9 p.m. through September 26 (it began in 2000) and Mayor Dane White said plans for phase three will start when funding is secured.

A video recorded at federal court shows a man being detained by ICE who said he served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan (his attorney said the client arrived two years ago using the CBP One app and remains in custody while seeking a Special Immigrant Visa amid safety fears).

Several organizations including UC San Diego, UC San Diego Health and Mayor Todd Gloria have withdrawn support for this year's San Diego Pride Festival over concerns about headlining performer Kehlani's remarks regarding Israel and Palestine—critics say these comments could promote hate speech. A coalition of Jewish groups will boycott the festival and parade while organizers stand by free expression and artistic integrity.

Construction on Escondido Creek Trail continues as crews install cable railing, perform irrigation work, and build new walkways over the next two weeks.

Broadway to Juniper will be closed until June 18 and the north side from Fig to Date remains closed for at least one month—readers should follow posted road signs for current access details.

The Helen Knoll Foundation was started after a San Diego mother died from breast cancer at 48 to educate young women on prevention.

It aims to save lives + empower the next generation to focus on regular breast health screenings.
