Attorney Timothy C. Perry (619) 546-7966 For Immediate Release President of San Diego Customs Brokers Association Pleads Guilty to Overseeing $100 Million Customs Fraud NEWS RELEASE SUMMARY - November 15, 2012 United States Attorney Laura E. Duffy announced that Gerardo Chavez pled guilty today in federal court before United States Magistrate Judge Karen E. Crawford to overseeing a wide-ranging conspiracy to import Chinese and other foreign-manufactured goods into the United States without paying import taxes (also referred to as Customs duties). According to court documents, Chavez=s scheme focused on purchasing large, commercial quantities of foreign-made goods and importing them without paying Customs duties. Wholesalers in the United States would procure commercial shipments of, among other things, Chinese-made apparel and Indian-made cigarettes, and arrange for them to be shipped by ocean container to the Port of Long Beach, California. Before the goods entered the United States, conspirators acting at Chavez=s direction would prepare paperwork and database entries indicating that the goods were not intended to enter the commerce of the United States, but instead would be Atransshipped@ Ain-bond@ to another country, such as Mexico. This in-bond process is a routine feature of international trade. Goods that travel in-bond through the territory of the United States do not formally enter the commerce of the United States, and so are not subject to Customs duties.

  • Tecate and Calexico Border Infrastructure Projects Request For
    May 14, 2019 RE: Tecate and Calexico Primary Fence Replacement Projects To Whom It May Concern: The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking your input concerning the replacement of the legacy primary pedestrian fence with a bollard style wall on the east and west sides of the Tecate and Calexico Ports of Entry in California. The preliminary locations for the replacement and construction of bollard wall are shown in Figures 1 and 2 below. CBP proposes to: (1) remove and replace approximately 15 miles of existing pedestrian fence with a bollard wall along the international border near the communities of Tecate and Calexico, California. The existing fence is outdated and will be replaced with a 30-foot bollard wall. Approximately 4.0 miles of fence will be replaced near Tecate, California (Figure 1) and approximately 11 miles will be replaced near Calexico, California (Figure 2). Figure 1: Map of San Diego Wall Replacement Project, Tecate Port of Entry Page 2 Figure 2: Map of El Centro Wall Replacement Project, Calexico Port of Entry CBP is seeking input on potential project impacts to the environment, culture, and commerce, including potential socioeconomic impacts, and quality of life. CBP will be conducting environmental site surveys and assessments and is also gathering data and input from state and local government agencies, federal agencies, Native American tribes, and the general public that may be affected by or otherwise have an interest in the project. CBP will prepare environmental planning documents to evaluate potential environmental impacts and make those documents available to the public.

  • 4 Tribal Nations of San Diego County This Chapter Presents an Overall Summary of the Tribal Nations of San Diego County and the Water Resources on Their Reservations
    4 Tribal Nations of San Diego County This chapter presents an overall summary of the Tribal Nations of San Diego County and the water resources on their reservations. A brief description of each Tribe, along with a summary of available information on each Tribe’s water resources, is provided. The water management issues provided by the Tribe’s representatives at the San Diego IRWM outreach meetings are also presented. 4.1 Reservations San Diego County features the largest number of Tribes and Reservations of any county in the United States. There are 18 federally-recognized Tribal Nation Reservations and 17 Tribal Governments, because the Barona and Viejas Bands share joint-trust and administrative responsibility for the Capitan Grande Reservation. All of the Tribes within the San Diego IRWM Region are also recognized as California Native American Tribes. These Reservation lands, which are governed by Tribal Nations, total approximately 127,000 acres or 198 square miles. The locations of the Tribal Reservations are presented in Figure 4-1 and summarized in Table 4-1. Two additional Tribal Governments do not have federally recognized lands: 1) the San Luis Rey Band of Luiseño Indians (though the Band remains active in the San Diego region) and 2) the Mount Laguna Band of Luiseño Indians. Note that there may appear to be inconsistencies related to population sizes of tribes in Table 4-1. This is because not all Tribes may choose to participate in population surveys, or may identify with multiple heritages. 4.2 Cultural Groups Native Americans within the San Diego IRWM Region generally comprise four distinct cultural groups (Kumeyaay/Diegueno, Luiseño, Cahuilla, and Cupeño), which are from two distinct language families (Uto-Aztecan and Yuman-Cochimi).

    San Diego - Baja California Border Region Atlas Atlas de la REGIÓN Fronteriza San Diego – Baja California INSTITUTO METROPOLITANO DE PLANEACION DE TIJUANA September 2014 INTRODUCTION The San Diego – Baja California border region occupies a unique geographic location. The region features diverse landscapes, politics, economics, languages, and culture. People and goods flow across the border on a regular basis. The region shares resources such as water, energy, and agricultural and industrial products via an infrastructure network of roadways, land ports of entry (POE), energy transmission lines, and water delivery systems. With a current combined border population of 5.1 million1 in San Diego County and the Tijuana, Tecate, Playas de Rosarito Metropolitan Zone of Baja California, and a projected combined population of almost 6.1 million by 2030 , the San Diego – Baja California border region offers many distinct opportunities, particularly economic opportunities in terms of crossborder manufacturing, trade, commerce, and tourism. The San Diego Baja California Border Region Atlas is a collaborative effort between the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the City of Tijuana Instituto Metropolitano de Planeación (IMPlan). This atlas includes ten maps depicting both natural and human characteristics in the region. The objective of this atlas is to highlight the crossborder interconnectedness that exists in the San Diego – Baja California border region and inform planners, stakeholders, and policy makers. 1 US Census Bureau American Community Survey (2013), Comité de Planeación para el Desarrollo del Estado de Baja California (2013) 2 Department of Finance, California (2013), Comité de Planeación para el Desarrollo del Estado de Baja California (2013) INTRODUCCIÓN La Región Fronteriza San Diego – Baja California ocupa un área geográfica única.

  • Indigenous Cultures and History in Calibaja Frontera Friday Issue Brief No
    INDIGENOUS CULTURES AND HISTORY IN CALIBAJA FRONTERA FRIDAY ISSUE BRIEF NO. 4 Frontera Fridays are quarterly events that connect leaders from both sides of the border to UC San Diego and serve as a platform for learning, networking and discussing opportunities and challenges that make our binational region unique. They are organized by the Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies (USMEX) at the School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS) and the Urban Studies & Planning Program (USP) and honor the legacy of Chuck Nathanson and the San Diego Dialogue. The Kumeyaay-Digueno people (known as Kumiai in Baja California) have inhabited the Calibaja region for more than 10,000 years. They established seasonal settlements along the coast from north of La Jolla to Ensenada, in the mountain regions from Palomar through Tecate, and into the desert regions of the Imperial/Mexicali Valleys. They fished, hunted and utilized the wide varieties of plant life found in the San Diego and Tijuana River watersheds both for food and medicine. The arrival of the Spanish missionaries and soldiers in the late 18th century disrupted the Kumeyaay way of life. They were forced to labor on the mission properties, cultivating non-native plants and raising livestock. Although the first Baja California mission was established at Loreto in what is now Baja California Sur in 1697, there was not significant presence of Spaniards in the Kumeyaay areas until after the founding of the San Diego de Alcala mission in 1769. After that, land grants awarding traditional lands to the foreigners, encroachment on villages by colonizing ranchers and settlers, and death from forced labor and foreign diseases followed.

  • Kumeyaay Cultural Landscapes of Baja California's Tijuana River
    Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology | Vol. 28, No. 2 (2008) | pp. 127–151 Kumeyaay Cultural Landscapes of Baja California’s Tijuana River Watershed LYNN H. GAMBLE MICHAEL WILKEN-ROBERTSON Department of Anthropology, San Diego State University, 5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, CA 92182 The cultural landscape of the Kumeyaay living in the Tijuana River Watershed of Baja California embodies the sacred, symbolic, economic, and mythological views of a people who have lived in the region for centuries. Recent research on this region that integrates ethnographic, ethnohistorical, and (to a lesser degree) archaeological information reveals a landscape that is alive and imbued with power, sustenance, and legend—a dynamic construct that reflects both changing Kumeyaay relationships with the land and the group’s continuity with the past. Sacred sites, peaks, transformed rocks, magic boulders, and other geographic features associated with oral traditions populate the landscape. Ecosystems and areas of historic significance represent direct links with generations of ancestors and are still layered with meaning in the minds of descendants. For us the mountains, the rocks, the trees: all this is something important. As my grandfather used to say, this ground is the floor for your feet, the rocks and hills are your walls, the sky is your roof and the sun your light1 [Josefina López Meza, personal communication 2004]. ultural landscapes are an elusive topic All individuals and communities, not just the C for archaeologists, especially those who work in Kumeyaay, give symbolic meanings to the places they regions of the Californias and the Great Basin where inhabit: monumental architecture is rare or non-existent.

  • Overview of the Housing in Tecate, Baja California
    CHAPTER 2:Layout 1 12/31/06 1:42 PM Page 11 CHAPTER TWO Overview of Housing in Tecate, Baja California The City of Tecate, Baja California faces challenges because of its location just beyond the ed ge o f t h e e x p anding Ti j u a n a me trop oli t a n region. While the local government has sought to retain the quality of life and ambience of a small Mexican border town, it is threatened by an increase in the popu­ lation of the region and a proliferation of colonias, informal communities housing low­income migrants who have often been drawn by the maquiladora economy. In order for the community t o m e e t t h i s c h a l l e n g e a n d a l s o t o p r ov i d e a d e q u a t e l i v i n g conditions for both old and new residents, it is important to under­ stand the state of the housing supply as it exists. GE O G R A P H I C S E T T I N G The City of Tecate, Baja California is located on the western edge of the U.S.­Mexico border in the northern Mexican state of Baja California (Figure 6). It is just east of the coastal city of Tijuana. The city has a smaller counterpart, Tecate, California, across the border in the United States. As in ever y Mexican state, Baja California is divided into municipalities which are the equivalent to counties in the U.S.
