Two U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents, Jesse Garcia and Luis Bonillo, were arrested in May 2024 after being implicated in a scheme to allow drug-filled vehicles to cross the U.S.-Mexico border without inspection. The agents allegedly worked with Mexican drug trafficking organizations, enabling the passage of drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl through border crossings they supervised. The FBI's Border Corruption Task Force conducted the investigation leading to their arrest.Prosecutors claim that Garcia and Bonillo received significant payments for their assistance, with Garcia beginning his involvement in 2021. Garcia's lavish spending, including expensive vehicles, designer clothes, and a ranch in Mexico, raised suspicion, as his reported income as a border agent did not match his lifestyle. Bonillo similarly spent over $13,000 on travel and luxury items before his arrest in Las Vegas.The agents allegedly allowed multiple drug-laden vehicles through the Tecate and Otay Mesa border crossings. In one case, a known trafficker, Nayeli Viridriana Servin Vega, repeatedly used their lanes despite being flagged as high-risk. Both Garcia and Bonillo have been denied bail and face serious charges in a case that echoes previous instances of border agents being compromised by cartels​.(commercial at 10:08)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:2 San Diego CBP officers allegedly let drugs across border (sandiegouniontribune.com)

Story One – Strangeness in the BorderlandsFor close to a century, the officers of the United States Border Patrol have traversed the foothills and valleys of the Otay Mesa, located in California's San Diego County. But in addition to contending with an endless stream of individuals attempting to illegally enter the United States, these agents have sometimes encountered intruders of a more inexplicable nature.Story Two – Tales From Stardust RanchWe have already examined the inexplicable and haunting occurrences at Utah's infamous Skinwalker Ranch in previous episodes. But across the border in neighbouring Arizona, lies another remote farmstead with an equally terrifying history. This week, we investigate one man's horrifying conflict with extra-terrestrial intruders, as we pay a visit to Stardust Ranch.MUSIC Tracks used by kind permission of Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0Tracks used by kind permission of CO.AGSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Everyone's favorite Mission Hills karaoke joint, the Lamplighter, has brought its talents down the hill to the Gaslamp—and so has this podcast. The team, led by fourth-generation bar owner Frankie Sciuto, launched the Gaslamplighter, a new upscale cocktail and karaoke bar, in January. Sciuto joins us on the Happy Half Hour podcast today as we check out the bar's digs. Sciuto hopes the Gaslamplighter will become the go-to spot for San Diego's nightlife scene, like its successful sister hangs, The Lamplighter and Side Bar. (In other words, it's not just a joint for tourists.) “It's an honor to follow in my family's footsteps,” he adds. “After working through the ranks in the nightlife industry from a barback to a bar owner, I am incredibly proud to bring this concept to life.” Surely you've heard that the “mob wife” aesthetic is trending on the internet? The Gaslamplighter is that brought to life, and it's a blast. Designed by GTC Design Studios, the 1,600-square-foot venue took over Ciro's Pizzeria and Beerhouse. Sciuto says the bar pairs “classic style with a vintage-industrial 1920s flare,” which he hopes invokes nostalgia for better bar-drinking and song-singing days. It's intended to look like an art-deco speakeasy, with shades of green and navy and plenty of rose-gold metal. Of course, the drinks add to the glitz and glamor. Its cocktails have a luxury bent: Picture a white negroni topped with 24-karat gold, a carajillo, and an “Instagrammable” dirty martini with caviar. Guests will also find a mocktail menu and many more options. Karaoke runs from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. You can sign up the old-school way by putting your name down on a sheet at the DJ booth, but you might want to warm up those vocal cords first—your rendition of “Sweet Caroline” may be followed by a surprise performance from a local underground star. Guests can book private booths or opt for bar seating, and the whole space is available for private rental. Of course, the Gaslamplighter isn't the only hot spot downtown. News today focuses on the neighborhood, especially with the Pads' home opener happening this weekend. Otay Mesa's Vega Caffe replaced Lolitas next to Petco Park with an expanded menu, and Puesto brought back cans of Clara, its 4.7 percent ABV Mexican lager, to Petco Park. Plus, the owners of Verant Group (which is behind such lauded locales as Barleymash, Mavericks Beach Club, Tavern at the Beach, and Sandbar) are opening a new hotel called Casa Nova in Valle de Guadalupe with other partners.

The U.S. Department of Labor's investigators and attorneys are working to prevent companies along the United States-Mexico border from exploiting Mexican workers. Wage and Hour Division investigators recently discovered three San Diego-area customs warehouses were violating the Fair Labor Standards Act.The employers, OMG Global Logistics, Atlas Freight Forwarding and Columbia Export Group PDSA, were ordered to pay approximately $2 million combined in minimum and overtime back wages to employees. It turns out the companies were paying wages as low as $2.50 per hour and also used Mexican affiliates to pay employees, making it appear as if they worked in Mexico rather than the United States. This took place in the San Diego neighborhood of Otay Mesa where some workers were making a daily international commute to work at warehouses. Columbia Export Group denied workers federal minimum wages and overtime premiums and ended up paying penalties to 60 employees. 

The new port of entry at Otay Mesa could drastically reduce border wait times, but only if there are enough Customs and Border Protection agents to staff it. Meanwhile, Star Theatre Company in Oceanside joins the effort to collect signatures and guarantee arts and music education in every California public school.

Biden's halt of border wall construction sends migrants streaming into USThousands of tons of steel and heavy equipment stand idle along the U.S.-Mexico border as legions of migrants exploit holes in the fence left by President Biden’s decision to halt construction.https://www.spreaker.com/user/9922149/bidens-halt-of-border-wall-constructionFrom Texas to California, unfinished sections of the wall have become convenient gateways for migrants to enter the U.S. Near the gaps, Border Patrol agents park their vehicles to monitor the access points.Smugglers send groups of asylum seekers through the gaps to overwhelm the agents. When agents leave to intercept or apprehend one group, another group scampers across."It’s insane," said an agent attending to a group of 13 Brazilian migrants apprehended Tuesday near a 100-foot gap in the fence in Otay Mesa, California. "The project is three-quarters done. At least, they should be allowed to tie together the primary fence. Otherwise, we’re trying to catch these people in the worst possible place. It’s just sucking our manpower."https://rumble.com/embed/vcpd8h/?pub=5rh65Biden issued his stop-work order days after entering office in January.

She's the director of the Mexico City-based Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. 1:08 – The Supreme Court let stand a lower court decision that blocked construction of part of the Keystone XL Pipeline in Montana, a pipeline long targeted by climate activists; a federal judge ruled that the Dakota Access Pipeline operated by Energy Transfer Partners must shut down and empty itself of oil within 30 days; and Dominion Energy and Duke Energy have cancelled their plans to build the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, deciding it was no longer profitable. Environmental advocates count these as major victories against polluting, extractive projects, after years of resistance largely led by indigenous organizers. We speak with Antonia Juhasz (@AntoniaJuhasz), a Bertha Fellow in investigative journalism, part of a global team of journalists investigating climate, fossil fuels and corporate power. Her most recent book is Black Tide. 1:33 – On June 1, 2020, at the end of a youth-led Justice for George Floyd demonstration and 20 minutes before Oakland's curfew, the Oakland Police Department tear gassed protesters. The police claim it was justified and provoked. But what really happened that evening? We're joined by three journalists from nonprofit newsroom The Oaklandside, Darwin BondGraham (@DarwinBondGraha), Sarah Belle Lin (@SarahBelleLin) and Jonah Owen Lamb, who used visual evidence to investigate police conduct at the protest and compare it to police and city statements and policies.

Limited protective gear and medical attention, dubious punitive and transfer practices, and crowded conditions that make social distancing almost impossible have all contributed to an environment at Otay Mesa rife for the spread of the virus. But so far detainees’ pleas for help have gone unheeded.

Of all the facilities used by ICE, Otay Mesa holds a dubious distinction. It continues to lead the country with the highest number of detainees infected with COVID-19.Among the approximately 660 ICE detainees at Otay Mesa is Jose Martinez Gonzales. Diagnosed as a diabetic, the 44-year-old Mexican has lived in the United States for over 30 years. He spoke to us directly from inside the embattled facility, raising the alarm that his and his fellow detainees' health is not being prioritized.  

The number of detainees infected by COVID-19 continues to grow at the Otay Mesa Detention Center. On ICE’s website the number of infected detainees at Otay Mesa is listed as 149, the highest known in the country's sprawling network of immigrant detention facilities. The San Diego Union Tribune reported earlier this week that 150 ICE detainees had tested positive for the virus and 67 U.S. Marshals Service inmates tested positive as well, bringing the total to 217 infected detainees at Otay Mesa. CoreCivic is the private company that operates the center for ICE and also holds detainees for the U.S. Marshals service. We continue our conversation with Anthony Alexandre, a detainee at Otay Mesa.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the past week has released 65 more detainees from Otay Mesa Detention Center who are medically vulnerable to COVID-19, a government attorney said during a court hearing Friday.There are still more inside. Under court order in a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, ICE identified a list of 131 people total in its custody at the facility who are medically vulnerable.The agency had released two detainees by its first check-in with U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw on Monday. Sabraw had ordered ICE to review cases at the facility — which has the biggest outbreak in San Diego County as well as in immigration detention nationwide — and release as many of the medical vulnerable as possible.Some of those who haven't yet been released are waiting for medical clearance because they either have already tested positive for the novel coronavirus or they are waiting for results. Two still need sponsors to live with in order to be released.Read more:

The Otay Mesa Detention Center in the San Diego County has become ground zero for the COVID-19 pandemic spread within ICE Detention Centers. San Diego County officials confirmed on May 6th, the first death of a detained immigrant in ICE’s custody of COVID-19. Guest: Anthony Alexandre, a detainee at the Otay Mesa Detention Center. He is one of the main organizers of the hunger strikes that have recently taken place at the detention center. The recent hunger strikes started in protest of the unsanitary and unsafe conditions that the detainees complained about to ICE and CoreCivic, the private company that operates the center for ICE.

An immigrant detainee died from COVID-19 while in custody at the Otay Mesa Detention Center. He is the first to die from the pandemic at an immigration detention center in the nation. Also, Doctors Without Borders are in Tijuana to help with the outbreak happening there. The city has the highest number of cases in Baja California. Plus, port officials are bracing for a lean year at the San Diego International Airport because the virus has decimated the airline industry. And, privacy concerns are complicating the need for robust contact tracing using mobile phones. In addition, a UC San Diego music professor, Anthony Davis, has won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for his 2016 opera “The Central Park Five.” Finally, Mother's Day is this weekend and we have some ideas to spend the day with mom while still under quarantine.

Today we have an interview with Marcos Duran, a detainee at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center who participated in a hunger strike at the facility in early April and Lizbeth Mateo, an immigration attorney who represents Duran. Later in the program, we have a group audio statement from detainees at the Otay Mesa Detention Center who are on hunger strike demanding sanitation measures in response to Covid-19.

Authorities announced Wednesday the discovery of the longest, most sophisticated cross-border drug tunnel in history stretching nearly one mile from the Tijuana airport into the U.S. U.S. Border Patrol agents described the tunnel as the “most sophisticated they had seen” with an extensive rail and cart system to rapidly transport drugs, forced air ventilation, and high-voltage electrical cables and panels. The tunnel, named “Baja Metro” by border agents, also had an elevator at its entrance and a complex drainage system. The drug tunnel's discovery was the culmination of a “challenging” multi-year, multi-agency investigation led by a coalition of U.S. law enforcement officers, according to Border Patrol.

The woman who was killed when a shooter opened fire on a Church's Chicken in Otay Mesa had just gotten married, family members said Thursday. Maribel Ibañez, 28, was one of three people struck by gunfire after a man who had been turned away for trying to buy a meal with counterfeit money started shooting at the restaurant on Del Sol Boulevard on Wednesday. San Diego police officers are still searching for a gunman, who was last seen driving away from the restaurant in a blue car, police said. He was described as a thin, black man in his 30s. He is about 6 feet 1 inch tall and was last seen wearing a blue Chargers beanie, basketball shorts and a light blue sweater.

Deadly shooting at Church's Chicken in Otay Mesa, homes around San Diego county raided in money launder investigation, 3rd death in our dangerous flu season, controversial housing project in Oceanside narrowly approved, McDonald's brings back iconic Happy Meal toys, more consumers use their phones to pay for holiday shopping and Sheena's First Alert forecast.

Alongside auto wrecking yards and shipping centers off state Route 905, a pop-up world has emerged with some of the strangest creatures to swim in six inches of water. Here aquatic plants grow next to cacti, and animals that have waited for decades in the dust come to life. In this Otay Mesa preserve are some of San Diego's vernal pools, fleeting water bodies that appear and vanish over the course of a season. They don't fill up every year; just in wet ones, when San Diego's ubiquitous hard-pan soil turns shallow depressions into temporary holding ponds. This season, rainfall is 36 percent above average, and the Otay Mesa site is a water world of ephemeral pools. With them come a host of rare and endangered species: San Diego and Riverside fairy shrimp, spadefoot toads, and numerous plants that occur only in or near San Diego. Pacific tree frogs, small crustaceans, dragonfly larvae and beetles also dwell in these miniature ecosystems.

A new movement of refugees fleeing violence and starvation in Central America began to reach Tijuana last month, in the hopes of applying for asylum in the United States.  Comprised of multiple, self-organized caravans, the refugees passed through incredible hardship and risk before thousands were temporarily settled in the Benito Juarez shelter – a sports …

I grew up in Arizona. At age 18 I joined the navy and began a 21 year career. I have wanted to share my experiences since my first experience in 1972. The only people I have shared these experiences with is my family, my mom and children. I have attached my experience: 1972 Willow Creek California Mid Afternoon My first encounter occurred while visiting a family friend in Willow Creek California in early June 1972. While visiting, my twin brother, and two family friends daughters went hiking on an old logging trail located behind the friend’s house. We hiked about 1 hour up this road and were getting ready to turn around, when off to the road in a small gulley filled with ferns. We all stood on the road looking up the gulley after we had heard some grunting noises. Setting about 150 feet from us was a tall creature with long dark brown hair. The creature was standing among the ferns I think it was eating the tops of young ferns. It just stood watching us for about 1 minute, then it grunted. The girls we were with said that we needed to go so we left, I remember running all the way back to the house. When we told the girl’s parents the father was concerned and told us not to go back up the road. On our way to my aunt’s house in Gresham Oregon, I remember my mom telling me that her friend’s husband called a couple of men and they went up the road. She also said that he turned on the electric fence around their black berry/boson berry patch. He told my mom and her friend that he did that to keep out the bears. The creature as I remember was about 7 feet tall with long dark brown hair. I could not tell if it was male or female. It seemed more interested in the ferns than us. At no time do I remember feeling threatened. However, my mom said that my twin brother and I had nightmares and began to walk in our sleep. Mom always felt that what happened or whatever we saw in Willow Creek caused these problems. November 1978 Near Sedona Arizona Around 10:00pm This encounter was very short and happened on Highway 89A between Sedona and Cottonwood Arizona near a bridge crossing a place called Dry Creek. While driving home from work around 10:00PM we were following a car. My mom was driving and she asked me why there was some guy running down the road and should we stop. Then this individual took two steps and crossed the road right in front of us. My mom slammed on the brakes to keep from hitting this individual and she said to me did you see the size of that guy and boy he could really jump. The most interesting thing she said was “I think that was a big foot”. I just looked at her and she said, oh yeah I remember my grandfather talking about them being around here. Her grandfather was a rancher in the area of the Mogollon Rim. This was very interesting because this was the first time she ever mentioned it. I have talked with my family in the area and they told me that there are places near Flagstaff Arizona at a place called Rogers Lake that they do not like going there, because weird thing happened there and that the Great Grand Pa said not to go there. The individual we saw that night as I remember was between 6 and 7 feet tall. Long dark hair and very muscular. He crossed the road and disappeared down the side of the gulley. We did not stop and continued home. We never talked about that night much but mom always believed that Bigfoot always existed. September 1998 In the Otay Mesa area of San Diego County. 8:00PM While camping with my son and three of his friends about 10 miles off I-8 the sun had gone down. We had just finished eating dinner and the boys wanted to play capture the hide and seek around the camp site. I told them they could, they played around until about 10:00PM until I told them to go to bed. Around 11:00PM when the boys had gone to sleep, I heard some movement around the camp area and so I got up to see what was going on. Near the camp I was instructed to come into the trees. As I walked into the area of the voice I came upon tow Border Patrol Agents. They told me that all of their motion sensors in the area had been set off. They also told me that they were tracking a couple of really big individuals and that we need to pack up our camp and move on. So that is what we did. These men seemed to me very nervous and they were packing heavy. I still do not understand what the circumstances were. I never thought of a Sasquatch in this area. I did listen to a show that described what the some of the Border Patrol Agent had described. I do not know if there was a Sasquatch in the area but I feel like those men that night may have saved me a bunch of problems. November 1998 Ellsworth Canyon, near Gabbs Nevada 1:00PM I went cutting wood with my daughter Jessica, son Michael and friend Shawn. Shawn was trying to earn money to take my oldest daughter to Prom. We were cutting fire wood to sell. About 12:00 PM my daughter Jessica came to where I was cutting wood and asked me what I wanted. I told her that I did not call her, she told me that I had called her twice. I assured her that I had not. She took an arm load of wood back to the truck. A few minutes later Shawn came up the hill and told me that he had heard some coyotes howling down the hill from where we were. He said they had just started up. I told him to keep an eye out and let me know if they sounded closer. He grabbed some wood and went back to the truck. A few minutes after about 1:00 PM, Jessica and Shawn came back after hauling wood down for Michael to stack it in the truck. They wanted me to come down and eat some lunch and to see if we had enough wood. So I went back down and ate lunch. After a few minutes I went back to cutting would and all three kids came up to where I was. Jessica asked me if why I was giggling and what was so funny. I just kind of looking at them. Jessica told me she and Shawn heard some little kids giggling and asked if I heard them. I said no. Then my son came up the hill with a puzzled look on his face. He told me he went down the hill to go to the restroom, when he came back to the truck he said all of the wood was thrown out of the truck. He wanted to know if I wanted him to restack it. I told him to go down with Jessica and Shawn and restack the wood. Within a few minutes Jessica was back telling me that all of the food was gone out of the ice chest. She also said they heard that giggling again I ask them if the wood was restacked and she said the truck was full. Michael my son yelled up the hill and said everything was packed up so Jessica and I went down the hill to the truck. Michael and Shawn were standing on the driver side of the truck and Jessica was in the cab. Shawn walked to the back where I was standing and told me that there were two guys further down the hill watching us. We all got in the truck and started driving down the hill. Shawn kept looking out of the driver’s window and he told me that those guys were following us. When we got back to the road Michael and Shawn both said they saw the tall guys run back up the hill. The kids were quiet all the way home about 1 hour. In the last few months I have talked with all three kids by themselves, they all told me the same story and they told me they saw and heard a couple or more Sasquatch in and around the where we were cutting wood. Jessica told me that she sometimes has dreams about that day. Shawn has moved to Alaska and he will only talk about it with Jessica and Michael. Michael told me that he remembers the pair of Sasquatch watching us and that he thought they threw the fire wood out of the back of the truck. October 2001 Ellsworth Canyon, near Gabbs Nevada 9:00 AM My son Michael and I were cutting wood. I was setting on the tail gate of our truck watching my son cut up a tree. I noticed some movement behind him, a small group of Cow Elk came up and stood within a few feet behind him. They were acting really nervous, I thought it was really strange that the Elk were so close. I got Michaels attention and he was nearly face to face with the Elk. We heard what sounded like a large bear roaring coming from the scrub oak. The elk took off and ran pass my truck. Michael came up to the truck and said did you hear that. I told him I heard that roaring sound. So we did like the elk and took off. We talked about what happened all the way home. He asked me if I told mom and I told him that I would but, his mom is a skeptic. I believe that whatever Sasquatch is, I know that they exist. I have spent many years believing.”
