Hiking can bring people together – even, perhaps amazingly, Democrats and Republicans.

Despite disapproval for the travel ban, Trump supporter Scott Herlickman says the president is keeping his campaign promises.

“So far I think he's done a fantastic job,” Herlickman says. “He's keeping his word.”

But Brendan Price, who voted for Clinton, isn’t so sure.

“There's a lot of policy actions that don't seem to be well thought out to the fourth and fifth degree,” he tells NBC 7.

Regardless of their differences, both sides of the aisle are similarly concerned about the economy and terrorism.

“It’s spreading,” Trump supporter Glenn Simpson says of the threat of terrorism. “It needs to be stopped and needs to be taken care of.” Price agrees terrorism needs to be prevented, but doesn’t believe Trump's polices will make the country safer.

“He wants to keep us safe,” Herlickman counters. “And for anybody who has differences in the policies, unfortunately we're going to have our differences."

But even though Herlickman and Simpson support the president’s policies, they don’t deny there have been major protests across the country – most recently after Trump’s executive order banning travel from seven Middle Eastern countries.

“A few people got caught in the middle and that's sad, and I think that will get worked out,” Simpson says.

“He doesn't want to take people's rights away,” Herlickman agrees, “but he does want to protect those that are in this country already."

And though these hikers trek on opposite sides on policy, perhaps they can forge a path together.

“I want to see him do well despite not voting for him but I would like to see more critical thinking," Price says. Herlickman couldn’t agree more.

“We’re all in the same boat. We're all imperfect but you know what I think he's the best guy for the job right now.”

For the second day in a row demonstrators gathered at the San Diego International Airport to protest a travel ban signed into law by President Trump. The executive order, put into action Friday, bans travel from seven Middle Eastern countries – although the specifics exceptions have been a bit unclear.

The crowd gathered in front of the international terminal had grown from Saturdays protests, from some 300 people to what appeared to be upwards of 1,000 protesters.

The San Diego protest is one of many across the country, including LAX, New York, Boston, Seattle and Dallas just to name a few.

The temporary bans also suspends the U.S. refugee program for 120 days and indefinitely bans Syrian refugees from entering the U.S.

In the last 24 hours there have been refugees and visa-holding immigrants detained at airports across the country stuck in legal limbo.

Secretary of Homeland Security John F. Kelly eased a key part of the executive order, saying the people from affected countries who hold green cards will not be prevented from returning to the United States.

Sunday, President Trump defended the order, saying in part:

“The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting. This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe."

Even though some of the detainees have been released, some protesters say they won’t leave until the entire executive action is lifted.

As the sun sets on Anthony’s Fish Grotto for close to the last time, it seems everyone in the restaurant has a favorite dish and everyone has a story.

Tom Duffy's favorite thing to order is the red clam chowder. He has been dining at Anthony’s for the last 57 years.

“We actually came here to celebrate Neil Armstrong stepping on the moon,” he tells NBC 7. Sunday evening he ate dinner there with his children and grandchildren.

Craig Ghio, whose family has been running the business since his grandmother started the restaurant 70 years ago, spent the afternoon making rounds and talking to customers.

“He says I come in here every July 9th and I have a bottle of champagne and steak and lobster,” Ghio explains, “and I said ‘well what are you celebrating?’ He says that's the day my divorce was finalized.”

While Sunday’s patrons were disappointed they stayed upbeat.

“This is a part of history for San Diego,” a patron says. “It's a landmark for most of the people in San Diego.”

“I think it's kind of like an Italian [or] Irish wake,” Ghio muses. “Let’s knock back a few. Let's have a party. Let's talk about the good times. Yet at the same time we know there’s an air of sadness in the whole thing.”

“His grandmother was a lady -- when she walked into our deli we had to show her a lot of respect,” laughs Benny Brunetto of Mona Lisa Italian Foods in Little Italy.

As Ghio points out, 70 years in the restaurant business, by today's standards, is nearly unthinkable. 

When the clock strikes 9:01 p.m. on January 31st Ghio says they’re going to pop open a bottle of champagne for the staff. “We're going to fix food and meals for our staff. We want to celebrate with them.”

There's an old saying: Eat well, laugh often and love much. Whoever came up with it - this is probably what they had in mind.

Anthony’s in La Mesa is still open and Ghio says they are running a special on clam chowder right now. They are donating what they sell to charity, and so far have raised $15,000.

The American Civil Liberties Union raised more than $24 million over the weekend in a surge of online donations following President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration, NBC News reported.

The organization typically raises a total of about $4 million online annually. 

Celebrities including singer Sia and actor Kal Penn appealed for donations on Twitter, while Google created a $4 million crisis fund for the ACLU, Immigrant Legal Resource Center, International Rescue Committee and UNHCR, USA Today reported. The tech giant set aside $2 million in donations that can be matched in employee donations totaling $4 million.

The ACLU also said its membership had doubled since the election and is now at more than 1 million members.

The group's complaint was one of several over the weekend successful in temporarily blocking deportations under Trump's new national security initiative.

Many of Donald Trump’s political supporters in parts of the Midwest and South have shrugged off criticism of his immigration order, Reuters reported.

On Friday, Trump signed an executive order that banned immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries --Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen-- for 90 days and halted the entry of refugees 120 days. Protests erupted at airports across the country as Muslim passengers were detained upon landing.

Trump supporters see the ban as an act of protection against terrorist threats and commend the president for sticking to his promises.

Louise Ingram, a 69-year-old retiree from Troy, Alabama, said she forgave the new administration a few "glitches" and wasn't opposed to immigrants. "I just want to make sure they are safe to come in," she said.

“Somebody has to stand up, be the grown up and see what we can do to better check on people coming in,” another Trump supporter in Virginia said. “Just give it a chance.”

A truck driver crashed straight into the children's playroom of a family's home, toppling over a power line in Lemon Grove early Monday morning, confirmed the San Diego County sheriff's department (SDSO).

The collapsed power line fell onto the house, causing a dangerous hazard for the family and nearby neighbors, said SDSO deputies. It happened on the 1600 block of Colfax Drive, near Skyline Drive at about 2 a.m.

Fortunately, there weren't any children were playing in the room when the truck crashed, and no one was hurt in the crash. The impact left a mess in the room, with the glass door leading to the playroom left shattered in pieces.

SDG&E crews were alerted at about 2:19 a.m. and headed to the scene.

The fallen power line prompted SDG&E to shut off power to the house, also leaving five other houses in the neighborhood without power, according to SDSO.

The driver, Nathan Casaday, age 40, was arrested and booked into San Diego Central jail on a suspected DUI charge.

SDG&E crews are still working to make sure the area is safe before towing the truck. Red Cross will be helping the family find a temporary place to stay.

Warren Buffett, whose $74 billion net worth makes him third richest man in the world, buys his breakfast at McDonald's and never spends more than $3.17 on the meal, CNBC reported.

The 86-year-old Oracle of Omaha orders one of three items during stops at the fast food joint near his home. He pays with exact change that his wife left in a cup, he explains in the new HBO documentary "Becoming Warren Buffett."

"$3.17 is a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit, but the market's down this morning, so I'll pass up the $3.17 and go with the $2.95," Buffett says before ordering a sausage, egg and cheese.

Google is celebrating the late Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu as its Google Doodle on Monday, paying tribute to the Oakland-born civil rights activist who refused to go to the government’s incarceration camps for Japanese Americans.

And according to his daughter, his debut appearance on the world's largest search engine is especially relevant in today's atmosphere regarding immigrants.

Korematsu, who would have turned 98 on Monday, was the first Asian–American to get a day named after him in the United States. Since Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation establishing the day into law in 2010, Hawaii, Virginia and Florida now also recognize Jan. 30 as Fred Korematsu Day.

But Monday was his first debut as a Google Doodle, according to his daughter, Karen Korematsu, the founder of the Fred T. Korematsu Institute in San Francisco.

“In my opinion, when you have made a Google Doodle, you have made it,” she said in a phone interview Monday on her way to Sacramento, where her father's memory will be honored.

She said that her family tried to get her dad to be represented by Google last year, but it was unsuccessful.

This time, her brother, Kenneth, knew artist Sophie Diao, herself a child of Asian immigrants, who drew the patriotic portrait of Korematsu. In the picture, he's wearing his Presidential Medal of Freedom given to him by then President Bill Clinton with a scene of the internment camps to his back. He's surrounded by cherry blossoms and flowers that have come to be symbols of peace and friendship between the United States and Japan.

Fred Korematsu was born to Japanese parents in Oakland and graduated from Castlemont High School, which is where his daughter said he learned about the Constitution.

When the United States entered WWII, he tried to enlist in the U.S. National Guard and Coast Guard, but was turned away because he was Japanese, according to the institute.

He was 23 years old and working as a foreman when Executive Order 9066 was signed in 1942 by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The order sent more than 115,000 people of Japanese descent living in the United States to incarceration.

Rather than relocate to an internment camp, Korematsu went into hiding. He was arrested in 1942 and despite the help of organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union, his conviction was upheld in the landmark Supreme Court case of Korematsu v. United States. Because of that, he and his family were sent to the Central Utah War Relocation Center at Topaz, Utah, until the end of WWII in 1945.

In 1976, President Gerald Ford formally ended Executive Order 9066 and apologized for the internment, stating "We now know what we should have known then — not only was that evacuation wrong but Japanese-Americans were and are loyal Americans.”

Fred Korematsu’s conviction was overturned in 1983 in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco after evidence came to light that disputed the necessity of the internment. Some of his lawyers who represented him then, Dale Manami and Don Tamaki, formed a law firm, and he was also represented by the Asian Law Caucus, among other attorneys. Many lawyers from that firm and the law caucus were at the San Francisco International Airport this weekend providing free legal service to Muslim refugees detained there briefly.

To Karen Korematsu, the choosing of her father’s image to be represented as a Google Doodle is highly relevant as the Donald Trump administration has issued travel bans to citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries.

“I think one of the main reasons he was chosen by Google was the opportunity to educate people on the mistakes of our past history,” his daughter said. “This new order is very scary. This is not what America is about. You don’t put the fear of God into people. This is not right.”

Former president George H.W. Bush has been released from the hospital, his spokesman says.

Spokesman Jim McGrath says Bush was discharged Monday morning from Houston Methodist Hospital after being treated for pneumonia.

McGrath says Bush is thankful for the prayers and kind messages he received during his stay.

The nation's 41st president was admitted to the hospital on Jan. 14 for breathing difficulties. He later was moved to intensive care when doctors inserted a breathing tube.

The tube was removed after a couple of days. He was moved from the ICU last Monday.

Former first lady Barbara Bush spent five days at the same hospital for treatment of bronchitis. She was released one week ago.

A Walmart employee was stabbed while standing outside a store in Kearny Mesa Saturday evening, San Diego police (SDPD) confirmed.

It happened on the 4800 block of Shawline Street at about 9:55 p.m.

The victim is a 24-year-old woman who was standing in the employee area when she was attacked from behind by a man. He stabbed her in the back, up by her shoulder, according to SDPD Officer Robert Heims.

She described the suspect as a man in his 30s, around 5-feet, 5-inches tall and of a medium build, Heims said. He appeared to be balding and wore a green shirt with tan-colored pants.

Heims said the victim was taken to a nearby hospital with injuries that were not deemed life-threatening.

An investigation is underway from the San Diego Police Eastern Division Detectives.

A spokesman for Barack Obama says the former president "fundamentally disagrees" with discrimination that targets people based on their religion.

The statement alluded to but did not specifically mention President Donald Trump's temporary ban on refugees from several Muslim-majority countries. The White House says the ban isn't a Muslim ban because dozens of Muslim-majority countries aren't affected.

Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis says Obama is "heartened" by the amount of engagement being seen across the country. He's referring to protests against Trump's order on immigration and refugees.

Lewis says "American values are at stake." He's praising citizens who are exercising constitutional rights to assemble and "have their voices heard."

Obama has not weighed in on a political issue since leaving office on Jan. 20. He has said he plans to give Trump room to govern but would speak out if Trump violates basic U.S. values.

It was a nondescript black business folder. Not overly large. It was certainly nothing that you could not purchase at any office supply store in San Diego.

But what that folder held was anything but ordinary. Inside was the possibility of a new era of sports in America’s Finest City.

San Diego businessman Mike Stone stood on a dais on the deck of the USS Midway holding that folder and said the following words:

“With high hopes and great expectations we present our application to become MLS team number 25.”

With that he handed the folder to Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber, officially putting San Diego in the mix of what is one of the fastest-growing sports leagues in world.

In 1996 there were 10 MLS teams. Now, just two decades later, 12 cities are vying to be the league’s 25th franchise. Stone has been the driving force behind this idea, vowing to purchase a chunk of the 211-acre Mission Valley site where Qualcomm Stadium currently site and build a privately-financed stadium for MLS and the San Diego State football program.

“Through my 30 years of business,” said Stone, “I’ve discovered there are very rarely ideas and opportunities that are simply too compelling to let go or pass up. We believe that MLS for San Diego is on that very short list of opportunities.”

San Diego has a lot of competition from places like Cincinnati, Sacramento, Tampa and St. Louis, all viable MLS markets. But hearing Garber speak it seemed like San Diego has a few options that might set it apart.

He outlined three things that MLS is looking for in an expansion city and checked off each box for SD:

“Passionate soccer fans first and foremost,” said Garber in front of many of the same fans who attended Sunday’s US Men’s National Team game against Serbia at The Q. “We saw that yesterday we see that today. Any city can really come out and support our league but it seems like we have something very special in San Diego.

“Second is a young and diverse city. Look around here, this is a young city that’s representing this new America that is driving the interest in our sport and that is something of great interest to us.

“And then you have a team just south of the border, the Xolos. We think we can have an unbelievable rivalry with the team just a couple of miles south of the border. That connection in Tijuana is something that we’re excited about.”

So all that sounds like this is a done deal right?

Not so fast.

There are still multiple obstacles to overcome, not the least of which is a new stadium. Garber says Mission Valley is something he has been talking to Stone and his group about. On Monday Garber was also planning to meet with former Mayor Jerry Sanders and members of the San Diego political structure.

It would appear that current Mayor Kevin Faulconer is on board.

Speaking at the event on Monday the Mayor, who was never truly able to get on the same page with the Chargers about a new stadium, seemed excited about the MLS proposal.

“As all of us know this proposal as it’s been presented so far is so much more than an opportunity for a professional sports team to be in our city,” said the Mayor. “It’s an opportunity to revitalize Mission Valley and become an economic driver that will help us pave streets, keep our neighborhoods safe, do all of the things that we do in this great city of ours.”

Part of the Stone group’s stadium proposal includes 55 acres of park land on the MV site, something he says they will address at the beginning of the stadium construction project, not the end of it. If a stalemate with the local political structure was the obstacle the Chargers could not overcome that does not seem to be an issue for this MLS possibility.

Garber expects to make his announcement on which city gets the new expansion team sometime in the fall.

Mexican authorities arrested a man Friday who is accused of raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter in Tijuana, the Baja California District Attorney's (DA) office confirmed.

Enrique N., age 48, was identified as the stepfather suspected of raping his stepdaughter. The victim is now seven-months pregnant, according to the DA.

A report was filed on Jan. 17, but the alleged sexual assault took place back in June 2016. Once the DA received the report, an investigation was held by the Sexual Offenses and Domestic Violence Unit.

The suspect was booked into the State Penitentiary on Friday, where his legal situation will be determined, according to the DA.

A program dubbed "SD United" will launch in San Diego early February to create one of the region's first technology support platforms for military service members, veterans and their families.

With support from 2-1-1 San Diego, the Vets Care Coordination Committee will formally launch the program at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 6 at the Connections Center, according to 2-1-1 San Diego. That's located on the 3800 block of Calle Fortunada.

The San Diego Veterans Coalition and the region's Peer to Peer hub at Courage to Call will work to together to form a care coordination network, according to 2-1-1 San Diego. SD United will aim to improve access for the military and veteran families to all of their resources. Through enhanced community collaboration, the program hopes to ensure that nobody who served the country gets left behind.

At the conference, there will be a demonstration of the SD United Technology system, according to 2-1-1 San Diego.

SD United will be built across 13 key areas of community service that affect our military and veteran community. The goal is to build a trusted Care Coordination system that provides long-lasting support for San Diego's military, veterans and their families.

Border Patrol agents arrested a previously deported sex offender and a man with a $500,000 warrant out for his arrest this weekend near the U.S.-Mexico border. 

The first arrest happened at approximately 5 p.m. Friday when Border Patrol agents assigned to the El Centro station saw a man running from the border fence by the Calexico Gran Plaza Outlets. 

When agents approached the man, they determined he was not in the U.S. with proper documentation. 

He was arrested and taken to the El Centro station, where record checks showed the 33-year-old Mexican national was convicted in California for sex with a minor. He received five years probation. 

The undocumented immigrant, who has not been identified, will be criminally prosecuted for Re-Entry After Removal as a convicted sex offender. 

The following day, at approximately 7:40 p.m., agents saw a man running from the border fence heading north as they were monitoring camera systems at the Calexico station. 

The man, running approximately 32 miles east of the Calexico Port of Entry, was heading toward Interstate 8 at the time, agents said. 

When agents arrived, they found the man, a 60-year-old Mexican national, hiding in nearby brush. 

Border Patrol agents learned the man had no legal documents to be in the U.S. and he was taken to the Calexico station, where record checks uncovered the man had an outstanding $500,000 warrant for possession of drugs and a firearm out of Ventura County. 

The man was turned over to the Imperial County Sheriff's Department for extradition to Ventura County. 

In the 2017 fiscal year, El Centro Border Patrol agents have arrested two convicted sex offenders. 

One person was trapped inside a car after the vehicle crashed into a fire hydrant Monday, according to the authorities.

It happened on Qualcomm Way and Camino Del Rio North in Mission Valley at about 2:10 p.m., confirmed the La Mesa Fire department.

Crews were working to rescue the trapped person from the vehicle. San Diego police are at the scene of the collision redirecting traffic.

It was not yet clear whether anyone was injured in the crash. No other information was immediately available.

A new hate map released by a national non-profit shows there were 30 hate groups across Southern California in 2015, and nearly a dozen of them were in San Diego County. 

Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit organization commited to fighting hate, intolerance and discrimination through education and litigation, recently released the map. 

They found 11 hate groups in San Diego, spreading from the North County down to the border. 

Some of those hate groups include the Ruth Institute in San Marcos, an anti-LGBT group, the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission in Vista, As-Sabiqun in San Diego, and Nation of Islam in San Diego, among others. Take a look at the map by clicking here. 

Hate groups are defined by the non-profit as groups with beliefs or practices that "attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics," according to the site. Those activities can include criminal acts, speeches and leafleting, among other activities. 

The list was built using hate group publications and websites as well as citizen and law enforcement reports, field sources and news reports. 

In 2015, Texas had the most hate groups nationwide, followed by California. 

The numbers are up 14 percent from 2014. 

Inmates from Santee’s Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility are sewing mourning bands for fallen police officers, deputies and federal agents across the country.

Mourning bands are the black strips of cloth worn over the badges of deputies and officers’ uniforms in memory of those killed in the line of duty.

There were 140 U.S. law enforcement fatalities in 2016, with California second highest in number of deaths, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page.

Female inmates in the Sheriff’s Sewing Program sew 3,000 mourning bands a month, which are sent to “HONORBANDS,” a nonprofit group that personalizes the bands and sends them to law enforcement agencies across the country.

The Sheriff’s Sewing Program allows inmates to learn sewing, communication and social skills to help them gain employment after serving their time.

They receive a Certificate of Completion from Grossmont Adult School, which details the skills they developed through the program.

Fishing nets on the pier in the Marina area of San Diego caught on fire Monday afternoon.

According to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department (SDFD), around 2 p.m., reports were made of smoke in the 700 block of N Harbor Drive. 

Fire officials told NBC 7 that there were no injuries.

The fishing nets were worth approximately $250,000.

At this time, it is unknown what caused the fire.

No other information was available.
