Judge OKs Blackwater Facility at US-Mexican Border

HeadlineJun 05, 2008

The private military contractor Blackwater is expected to begin holding training sessions today at a new facility in San Diego, California, just blocks from the Mexico border. On Wednesday, a federal judge ruled Blackwater could open its new 61,000-square-foot center, despite attempts by San Diego officials to stall the plan. Blackwater has been accused of secretly setting up the border facility by applying for city permits under the names of affiliated companies.
