TOP STORY
A potential Supreme Court ruling on Thursday could change the meaning of birthright citizenship — and the impact could be felt by families right here in San Diego.
On the first day of his second term, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at stopping children born in the U.S. from automatically becoming citizens if neither parent was an American citizen or permanent resident at the time.
The president says the change would only apply to children born after the order takes effect.

BREAKING OVERNIGHT
Oceanside voters will weigh a proposed sales tax increase this November. On Wednesday night, the City Council approved placing a half-cent hike on the ballot.
City officials estimate the change would bring in about $20 million annually, funding projects such as beach sand replenishment, road paving, and construction of a new police headquarters.
If approved, the city’s sales tax would rise from 8.25% to 8.75%.
WATCH — Some residents explained to reporter Ryan Hill why they believe the city does not need another tax increase:

San Diego residents have just a few days left to swap out their trash bins. Starting July 1, the city will no longer collect garbage from black bins.
To ensure pickup, households must use the newly issued gray bins. The city has already distributed about 250,000 gray bins, and officials say most residents have received one. However, they’re urging everyone to be prepared for the change.
The retired black bins will be recycled into new plastic products.
