SAN DIEGO — One by one, US Magistrate Judge William Gallo called the names of 14 defendants who were charged with entering the country illegally. ADVERTISEMENTThe scene played out every day for several weeks in San Diego — another example of judges challenging President Donald Trump’s moves on immigration in ways large and small. In San Diego, space is at a premium, with room for only 815 people at the main holding facility. “Our current focus is to assist as many people as we can in San Diego,” Steinberg said. But some family members may be reluctant to come forward if they are in the country illegally, and many live far from San Diego.
