"Donald Trump and JD Vance think that shutting down the I-5 to shoot out missiles from ships is how you respect the military. PUT ASIDE YOUR VANITY PARADE AND PAY OUR TROOPS INSTEAD,"
"All training events will occur on approved training ranges and comport with established safety protocols. No public highways or transportation routes will be closed,"
"Caltrans spokesperson Christopher Clark told SFGATE they were "informed of potential plans" and "cautioned against it.""
"We're relieved the White House backed off its plans to shut down a major interstate. Now that I-5 will stay open, we hope the Trump Administration applies that same common sense to reopening the federal government!"
Plans for a Marine Corps 250th birthday event at Camp Pendleton included a live-fire demonstration and a beach party on Del Mar Beach. Newsom's office said the White House initially proposed closing a portion of Interstate 5 to accommodate the demonstration. The Marine Corps said all training events would occur on approved training ranges and that no public highways or transportation routes would be closed. Caltrans reported it had been informed of potential plans and cautioned against closing I-5, which carries about 80,000 travelers daily. The closure would have caused major congestion, added nearly 30 miles via alternative routes, and disrupted Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner service.
