While Imperial Beach mayor in January 2024, Aguirre urged President Biden and Gov. Newsom to declare a federal emergency regarding the Tijuana River sewage crisis. And since mid-2025, over seven months ago, Supervisor Aguirre stated she has been “working to get San Diego County more involved in fixing the sewage crisis.” “Fixing the sewage crisis” clearly hasn’t happened. Aguirre’s criticism of the Trump administration regarding this matter seems unhelpful and hurts her credibility. — Jim Berg, San Diego
