All 18 cities in San Diego County asked for a state of emergency from him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>On April 9, Aguirre took to Instagram to plead with the governor to declare a state of emergency over the worsening sewage crisis in the Tijuana River. The long-brewing problem is part of a broader crossborder watershed in which untreated wastewater, sediment and trash regularly flow into California from Mexico, impacting public health and the environment, the California State Lands Commission has said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>But Newsom\u2019s office has long argued that the federal government is responsible. In a visit to San Diego in 2024, the governor said the declaration \u201cwould not have availed us to any real benefit except symbolism and then ultimately frustration that it didn\u2019t mean anything,\u201d according to KPBS-TV. And now, as conditions have worsened to the point where the pollution is visible from space, a growing political clash calls into question who is responsible for the public health crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cA lot of people are reporting being ill, having headaches, sinusitis, allergies, asthma, people who\u2019ve never had asthma before, gastrointestinal illnesses,\u201d Aguirre said. \u201cAnd most of these people are seeing these symptoms without even going to the beach, which was a huge red flag for us about three years ago, because usually people would fall ill after coming into contact with ocean water.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>A call for action<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Aguirre said calling for a state of emergency would enable interagency coordination and expedite permitting for projects that would address the crisis, including addressing infrastructure originally intended to prevent flooding but that is worsening air quality. She also said the county has allocated $2.5 million on temporary solutions, but that by expediting permits, the county could work towards a more permanent solution.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThe strategy so far of this federal government and the state government, or at least the governor\u2019s administration, has been to have Mexico solve this,\u201d Aguirre said. \u201c&#8230; Californians and constituents are being harmed. As the government, we\u2019re responsible for the health, safety, and welfare of our people. I would never in a million years pass the buck to a sovereign nation, saying, well, it\u2019s their responsibility to take care of my constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Newsom\u00a0hasn\u2019t ignored the crisis altogether \u2014 since 2019, he\u2019s secured $38 million for water quality improvements, and secured a $100 million federal investment in the area\u2019s infrastructure in 2025 \u2014 but the governor\u2019s office insists it\u2019s the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s responsibility to work with Mexico on a transnational border issue. Tara Gallegos, a spokesperson for the governor\u2019s office, told SFGATE in an email that the wastewater treatment plant is a federal facility for which the federal government is directly responsible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe understand the frustration of this community\u00a0\u2014 because we are frustrated too\u00a0\u2014 and we urge the federal government to take action quickly to help address the impacts of their failed infrastructure and get this community the help it needs, now,\u201d Gallegos said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>But Aguirre said the crisis is a multi-jurisdictional issue involving the California Coastal Commission, the California State Coastal Conservancy, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the California Fish and Wildlife Department, and county and city lands. According to the California State Lands Commission, the crisis requires coordinated local, state and federal action to be fully resolved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIf we had a meteorite hit San Francisco, a meteor destroyed a 10-block radius, harmed 50,000 people \u2014 would you say, \u2018Well, this is coming from space, it\u2019s space\u2019s responsibility\u2019?\u201d Aguirre said. \u201cIt\u2019s the same analogy. Nobody\u2019s denying the fact that this is coming from Mexico and that Mexico has a role to play here and a responsibility, but this is a crisis that is impacting Californians on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>A decadeslong problem that hasn\u2019t been solved<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Alejandro Camacho, a law school professor at UCLA who specializes in environmental, land-use and natural resources law, told SFGATE that management of the Tijuana River is a binational problem that the federal government must resolve, but that an emergency declaration may help expedite action.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sanfranciscomovingguide.com\/?p=43\">Democratic and Republican candidates for Calif. governor lead latest poll<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI think it is plausible (although less so with the current Trump administration) that a declaration might be helpful for some things (like air quality monitoring, health screenings, temporary resources, accelerated CDC and FEMA engagement,\u201d Camacho said in an email. \u201cThe Trump admin has not been responsive to California requests, but it might create some political and legal leverage in pushing Congress and the White House \u2014 a governor\u2019s emergency declaration is a recognized signal in the federal appropriations process. The declaration might also facilitate faster deployment of state funds.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Newsom has pushed the White House for further funding and faster timelines. But under the Stafford Act, a federal law passed by Congress and signed into law in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan, the governor must formally request a federal declaration from the president. EPA spokesperson Julia Giarmoleo told SFGATE in an email that Newsom has not asked President Trump to make an emergency declaration. However, in July 2025, the California Assembly passed a measure, Assembly Joint Resolution 16, which asked President Donald Trump to declare a state of emergency and fund the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s Comprehensive Infrastructure Solution for the Tijuana River.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The Trump administration signed a  in July 2025 and\u00a0Minute No. 333 in December 2025 alongside the Mexican government \u201cto speed up project timelines and take additional actions to prevent this crisis from reoccurring down the road,\u201d Giarmoleo said. The Trump administration also followed through on a 100-day expansion of the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant to prevent 10 million gallons of raw sewage per day from entering U.S. waters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Giarmoleo said those hastened project timelines could reduce the time to control the sewage discharge by as much as 12 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThis has been a top priority for President Trump and [EPA] Administrator [Lee] Zeldin,\u201d Giarmoleo said, \u201cand they will not rest until the raw sewage flow from Mexico is stopped for good.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>But Aguirre said this approach overrelies on Mexico.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThey are placing all of the eggs in the basket of, well, Mexico, committed to solving this upstream. It\u2019s an argument that I\u2019ve been hearing for the better part of the last 20 years that I\u2019ve been working on this,\u201d Aguirre said. \u201cIt all boils down to we can\u2019t put the well-being on a completely different nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Aguirre said Newsom has not responded to her latest push since she publicly called on him two weeks ago. However, she said six Democratic candidates for governor have visited the hot spot \u2014 including Xavier Becerra, Katie Porter and Tom Steyer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll six of them have committed to declaring a state of emergency, and some of them even saying on Day 1,\u201d Aguirre said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Aguirre has argued that the governor has 52 active emergency declarations, and yet she feels her district has been left behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe see emergency declarations issued immediately when affluent communities are being impacted, such as Palos Verdes, Santa Barbara and other areas of our state,\u201d Aguirre said. \u201cWe\u2019re primarily Latino, working-class border people. And the fact that we haven\u2019t had a state of emergency declared for this crisis is hurtful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>BEST OF SFGATE<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><b>Food<\/b> | SF bakery finds unusual solution to neighbors complaining about its long lines<nobr><strong><br \/>Local<\/strong> <\/nobr>| Hundreds of millionaires are trying to escape the US<br \/><nobr><strong>National Parks<\/strong> <\/nobr>| I tried living the park ranger fantasy and spent most of it picking up garbage<br \/><b>Travel<\/b> | The California town that rose and died in 2 years<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><em>Get SFGATE&#8217;s top stories sent to your inbox by signing up for The Daily newsletter here.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sanfranciscomovingguide.com\/?p=41\">The left-wing streamer muscling his way into California politics<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two weeks after a San Diego County supervisor called on Gov.
