Funneled From Criminal Justice to Deportation

Sandra Castaneda was 20 when she was given a life sentence for a murder she didn’t commit. After she’d spent 19 years in prison, a judge overturned her conviction and ordered her release. But instead of Sandra walking free, she found herself behind bars again, in a holding cell in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office. That’s because California prisons notify ICE whenever they release a person who wasn’t born in the U.S. – even someone like Sandra, who’s a legal permanent resident and lived here since elementary school. What happened next is a window into an all-too-common story for immigrants who get funneled from the criminal justice system into the deportation system. Even when states like California have overturned their convictions. KQED’s Senior Immigration Editor Tyche Hendricks has been following Sandra’s case for months, and brings us this audio documentary. see more

East Bay park managers recently recommended closing Chabot Gun Club due to lead contamination from bullet shells that are poisoning the soil and water in Chabot Regional Park. The shooting club says it will clean up the pollution and save taxpayers millions if it can stay. A decision is expected at an East Bay Regional Park District board meeting on Tuesday.

Guests:

Jim O'Connor, assistant general manager of operations, East Bay Regional Park District
