What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Protesters gathered outside Escondido City Hall on September 24 and 25, 2026, to call for the cancellation of a contract between the city and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The agreement allows ICE agents to use the city's firing range for training, which they have used for over a decade. The contract, which was signed in January, pays Escondido $22,500 annually, with the option to renew for two more years, bringing the total to $67,500.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The contract provides a revenue stream for Escondido while facing political challenges from the public. Protesters are demanding the city council end the agreement, which the council has declined, citing the need for training. The ongoing protests apply political pressure on the city's governing body regarding the contract's continuation.
