Imperial Beach mayor on the Tijuana sewage crisis: "Enough is enough"

Recent spills have lead to 160 million gallons of sewage in the Tijuana River Valley

IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. — Imperial Beach Mayor Serge Dedina is trying to get President Trump to "step up to the plate" as raw sewage is flowing through the Tijuana River. 

Dedina claims local Border Patrol agents, Navy SEALs and even his own children are getting sick due to this "fixable" problem. Serge says the sewage pumps need to be replaced.
