At approximately 10 am on Thursday, May 8, a woman was stopped by SDPD officers at the corner of University and Euclid in City Heights. Soon after being detained by the SDPD, several Border Patrol and SDPD vehicles arrived on the scene. She was then arrested, transferred to Border Patrol custody and taken away. Neighborhood residents said that for the past four or five days, the Border Patrol has been seen driving along University Avenue and even setting up checkpoints at the intersection of University and Winona. Picture of the intersection is below.

Witnesses reported 2 Border Patrol vehicles, 4 SDPD cars and one SDPD motorcycle unit.

Is it even legal to set up BP checkpoints in neighborhoods like that? Do they stop everyone, or just brown people? curious.
