At the August 18, 2026 Board of Supervisors meeting, Supervisor Lawson-Remer made a motion and it was seconded by Supervisor Aguirre to take the following actions:
1. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) to terminate the following County license agreements, consistent with each agreement’s written notice requirements:
a. The 2021 license agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the 2017 license agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, San Diego Field Office, for use of the San Diego Regional Firearms Training Center, located at 440 Alta Road, San Diego, CA 92154.
b. The 2022 license agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, for use of the Miramar Training Facility, located at Miramar Marine Corps Air Base, Camp Elliot, East Miramar Road in San Diego. 2.
Clarify that the intent of the actions to be implemented do not contribute to increasing Border entry wait times and encourage advocating at the federal level for adequate staffing and infrastructure at ports of entry.
