ESCONDIDO, Calif. (KGTV) – The City of Escondido is facing political pushback regarding a renewed contract with the Department of Homeland Security. “Recently we found out that the city of Escondido had renewed a contract they had with ICE,” Richard Cannon, who created a Change.Org petition to end the contract, said. “So the Change.org petition is to pressure the city council to work out with the government to cancel that contract.”Cannon’s petition has nearly 2,000 signatures thus far. “I think it makes sense that it is coming to the city council or it was brought to our attention,” Garcia said. Both were asked how they would feel if ending the contract came before the City Council for a vote.
