She said her team is preparing for what they expect is a higher demand for their services during the new administration, as folks respond to changes in the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Irrespective of the outcome of the presidential election, individuals are still going to be entitled to \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/tpt/constitution-usa-peter-sagal/equality/due-process-equal-protection-and-disenfranchisement/\">due process\u003c/a>,” Chagolla said. “We want to make sure that folks know, should they receive any kind of adverse court papers … who to contact locally if they need help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Law Foundation of Silicon Valley is one of the several organizations in the Bay Area that offer free legal aid: legal advice and representation, provided at no cost, to people who cannot afford to hire a private attorney. And there are dozens of different situations when someone may need legal assistance, not just in a criminal proceeding. For example, if you received an eviction notice from their landlord and need to know what your rights are; if you are applying for a change in your immigration status; or even if you qualify for certain public benefits but aren’t receiving what you’re entitled to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep reading to find out more about what legal aid services are available in the Bay Area, who qualifies for free legal aid and how to best prepare for a meeting with a legal aid office.[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How is legal aid different from using a private law firm?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A legal aid organization is not the same thing as a private law firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While private law firms charge clients fees in exchange for legal counsel and representation, a legal aid organization provides legal representation at no charge — but only for individuals and families who meet the eligibility requirements, which are usually based on income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are licensed attorneys with years of experience but we do not charge a dime for our services,” said Carolina Martín Ramos, executive director of La Raza Centro Legal, a legal aid and advocacy organization that has worked for decades in San Francisco’s Mission District. Martín Ramos adds that, from what she has seen, private attorneys can charge a few hundred dollars an hour. But if someone qualifies to receive services from La Raza Centro Legal, they wouldn’t have to worry about paying any attorney fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where folks might have to pay something, it would be a government fee,” Martín Ramos said, “So, for instance, in the context of immigration law, if you’re applying for your legal permanent residency or citizenship, the federal government will have a filing fee that has to be paid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What can a legal aid group help me with?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The legal world is vast and complex, which is why many attorneys focus on a specific type of law. Legal aid organizations also specialize in specific areas, and one group may not be able to support your needs if it falls out of their scope — so check their website or give them a call first to make sure they are able to respond to your particular situation.

Some groups, like the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, also focus on supporting clients if they are experiencing poor housing conditions, like infestations or electrical issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The services that we provide in the housing team vary from just offering advice and counsel or general information,” Chagolla said, “and then can extend up all the way through our full scope of representation, where we’re ultimately walking with tenants in court and representing tenants in court as their attorneys.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Immigration\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martín Ramos of La Raza Centro Legal said the immigration services her organization offers can be placed into two categories: affirmative legal aid and defensive legal aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The affirmative immigration program,” she explained, “offers services that are outside of the immigration court, outside the adversarial context, where people can apply for legal permanent residency or they can apply for citizenship and other types of immigration benefits, like a U or T visa.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12013614\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12013614\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-84047778-1-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-84047778-1-edited.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-84047778-1-edited-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-84047778-1-edited-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-84047778-1-edited-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-84047778-1-edited-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-84047778-1-edited-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Immigration attorneys give free consultations to immigrants during a Know Your Rights event in Los Angeles, Calif. \u003ccite>(David McNew/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Defensive immigration, on the other hand, deals with deportation proceedings.

For example, if you are seeking immigration help, knowing the dates of when you came into the U.S., and if there were any changes to your immigration status since then and when, can make things a lot easier, Martín Ramos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One more logistical tip: make sure you have access to an email account so that an attorney can quickly share important updates about your situation. If you don’t have an email account, or you only have access to a shared email, you can \u003ca href=\"https://support.google.com/mail/answer/56256?hl=en\">make a new one for free using tools like Gmail.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you’re able to talk to an attorney, Martín Ramos strongly recommends that you are 100% honest with your attorney, to give them the full picture without holding anything back. “You are protected by attorney-client privilege,” she said. “An attorney could lose their license if they don’t respect your privacy or confidentiality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, she stressed, let your attorney know when you \u003cem>don’t\u003c/em> understand something they’ve said, or about any aspect of the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can ask the attorney or legal staff to slow down, to repeat things, to tell them you don’t understand and to explain things better,” Martín Ramos said. “Even with your own attorney, you have to be your own advocate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"find-legal-aid-bay-area\">\u003c/a>Where to find free legal aid in the Bay Area\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The organizations KQED spoke to for this story confirmed that the best way to get in contact with them is over the phone, but some also offer walk-in services.

Local business leaders scoffed as they recalled the damage to the border region’s economy during Trump’s first term. The peso slumped to a two-year low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important to remember that we aren’t just trading with Mexico, we’re producing together,” said San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce CEO Jerry Sanders, a Republican and former mayor of the border city. “At the end of the day, this would be a tax on U.S. customers and would likely set off a domino effect of other countries imposing retaliatory measures to protect their own interests.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A massive deportation campaign clearly would impact California’s economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over half of all California workers are immigrants or children of immigrants, and collectively, the state’s undocumented residents paid nearly $8.5 billion in taxes in 2022, playing a key role in stimulating the state’s economy, according to the California Budget & Policy Center and data estimates from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

California is home to more immigrants than any other state in the nation, about 10.6 million people, as well as the most unauthorized immigrants, according to 2022 numbers \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/what-we-know-about-unauthorized-immigrants-living-in-the-us/\">compiled by the Pew Research Center\u003c/a>. Immigrants make up more than a fourth of the state’s population, and nearly half of all children in California have at least one immigrant parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Donald Trump is successful with deportations, no state will be more impacted from a fiscal perspective, from an economic perspective,” Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBgajKQ1F1w\">said at a press briefing last week\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Attorney General Rob Bonta told CalMatters that his office is prepared to fight, spending the months leading up to the election developing legal strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The best way to protect California, its values, the rights of our people, is to be prepared so we won’t be flat-footed,” Bonta said days before the election. Bonta’s comments indicate that the state, which sued more than 100 times over Trump’s policies in his first term, will again be a thorn in the president’s side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those waiting in Tijuana to cross legally into the United States through CBP One, the federal government’s phone app, worried on Wednesday that their opportunity to seek asylum had already slipped away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-446802\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/072623_Movimiento_Juventud_Migrants_AH_CM_08.jpg?resize=780%2C519&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"519\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Various tents at Moviemiento Juventud 2000 provide shelter for roughly 150 asylum seekers in Tijuana on July 26, 2023.

Federal authorities \u003ca href=\"https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/08/border-patrol-wall-automated-surveillance-artificial-intelligence-security-expo/\">have used everything from camera towers to drones\u003c/a> to ground sensors and thermal imaging to detect migrants in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the indiscriminate nature of mass surveillance, it is possible that U.S. citizens and others permanently in the country will also be caught in its web,” said Petra Molnar, a Harvard faculty associate, lawyer and author of the book “The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s plans for the border also seem poised to reverberate across regional economies and in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Trump said he plans to impose tariffs on Mexico if the country doesn’t stop the northbound flow of migrants and fentanyl. Local business leaders scoffed as they recalled the damage to the border region’s economy during Trump’s first term. The peso slumped to a two-year low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important to remember that we aren’t just trading with Mexico, we’re producing together,” said San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce CEO Jerry Sanders, a Republican and former mayor of the border city. “At the end of the day, this would be a tax on U.S. customers and would likely set off a domino effect of other countries imposing retaliatory measures to protect their own interests.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A massive deportation campaign clearly would impact California’s economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over half of all California workers are immigrants or children of immigrants, and collectively, the state’s undocumented residents paid nearly $8.5 billion in taxes in 2022, playing a key role in stimulating the state’s economy, according to the California Budget & Policy Center and data estimates from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jerry Brown and leaders in the Democratic-controlled Legislature to model effective progressive governance. The legislative session in 2017, Trump’s first year in office, was one of the most productive in recent memory — with a flurry of bills passed in Sacramento to fix roads, build housing and limit greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Resistance isn’t just suing the federal government,” said Manuel Pastor, a professor of sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. “It’s also moving the needle on things people care about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pastor, who chronicled the political lessons from recent California history in his book, \u003cem>State of Resistance\u003c/em>, said the state’s experience during the first Trump term and Newsom’s own political ambitions will shape California’s response to the incoming administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Newsom is both much more aware of [what a Trump presidency could be like] and actually also has a much different set of political incentives,” Pastor added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Live 2024 Election Results\" link1='https://www.kqed.org/elections/results,Follow results for every Bay Area race in the 2024 general election.' hero=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/80/2024/10/Aside-Results-California-2024-General-Election-1200x1200-1.png]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typically, lawmakers gather at the Capitol in early December for swearing-in and ceremonial tasks before reconvening in January to begin their work in earnest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (D-Encino) said the governor’s early action was needed to put the state “in a position, so that if we need to, we can act quickly to file affirmative litigation…to protect fundamental rights and California values.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he said it was unclear if any votes or debate on bills would actually occur before the new year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My understanding and my sense is that the goal here is to pass legislation prior to the new administration being sworn in,” he added. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the special session, the Legislature may only debate bills related to the topic outlined in the governor’s proclamation, though they are not required to approve any legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Democrats are virtually guaranteed to hold a two-thirds supermajority in both houses, the margins of Democratic control are still up in the air.

Including immigrant parents in conversations about curriculum, staff and language used in class could lead to better academic outcomes for students, it stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kalb attributed the delay in implementing Measure S to another measure passed in 2020, Measure QQ, allowing 16 and 17-year-old students in Oakland Unified School District to vote in school board elections.

In 2016, San Francisco voters approved Proposition N, which extended voting rights to noncitizens at the school board level. The law took effect in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School board members have several key responsibilities that directly affect the district’s quality of education and student experience. They include overseeing the district’s budget, developing and approving policies, negotiating teacher and staff contracts and other key decisions that shape the educational landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents who voted in San Francisco’s school board election said the experience motivated them to become more involved with their children’s school, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://caasf.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/23-CAA-ImmigrationVotingReport-F2.pdf\">report\u003c/a> by Chinese for Affirmative Action, which supported giving noncitizens the right to vote in school board elections. One parent said they were inspired to volunteer and assume leadership positions in school committees and councils after voting for the first time in a school board election.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Protecting noncitizen voters\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Voting rights for noncitizens come as part of a long push-back against anti-immigrant sentiment. Proposition 187, passed in 1993, mobilized immigrant organizations to create and back measures that expanded rights and access to services, said Ron Hayduk, a political science professor at San Francisco State University and co-author of the study “Immigrant Voting and the Movement for Inclusion in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California went from being worse on immigrant rights to first on immigrant rights in a lot of ways,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Figuring out how to better protect immigrants can make a difference in how or if they want to participate in local elections. The number of noncitizen voters in San Francisco has fluctuated between small and nearly nonexistent: 59 parents voted in the \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/noncitizen-voting-san-francisco-recall-election-rights-jose/11556464/\">2018 election\u003c/a>, but only two noncitizens voted in \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/politics/why-more-noncitizens-arent-voting-in-sf-school-races/article_be7cd5b4-37d1-11ee-bc57-97bd1533bffd.html\">2019\u003c/a>. The low turnout was attributed mainly to fear, though language barriers and a need for better voter mobilization likely also contributed to the low initial turnout, according to the report from Chinese for Affirmative Action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 300 noncitizen parents voted in a \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/2022/09/16/sf-noncitizen-parents/\">2022 recall election\u003c/a>, but no noncitizen parents voted in 2023 because of a pending court challenge to the law’s constitutionality. Because the law has now been ruled constitutional, noncitizen parents can resume voting, starting with the 2024 school board election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noncitizen voting has become a flashpoint amid unfounded accusations that people lacking permanent legal status have been voting in federal and state elections. Multiple news outlets have noted that former president Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign has spread \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/10/12/nx-s1-5147789/voting-election-2024-noncitizen-fact-check-trump\">misinformation\u003c/a> about noncitizen voting to set the stage for \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-election-results-2024-noncitizens-voting-big-lie-rcna175552\">challenging\u003c/a> the \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/03/trump-republicans-non-citizen-voters-myth-stolen-election\">legitimacy\u003c/a> of the presidential election if Trump loses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People lacking permanent legal status may be reluctant to call attention to their status by registering to vote as noncitizens in local elections, Hayduk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some folks have looked into whether or not people’s names could be protected like victims of domestic violence or police officers — they can register to vote, but their names don’t appear on a public voter registration list,” he said. “So, why not for immigrants? But that change needs to happen at the state level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, despite the fear, there are parents who still want to vote in Oakland’s school board elections and are disappointed that they cannot vote in 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It frustrates me,” OUSD parent Cordova said. “It feels like we are not taken into account just because we are immigrants.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Former President Donald Trump calls it an “invasion,” crudely disparages immigrants and threatens mass deportations. Vice President Kamala Harris, in tacit recognition of the Biden administration’s border challenges, also vows tougher enforcement. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yet illegal border crossings have \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/news/fy2024-us-border-encounters-plunge\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">plunged to the lowest level in four years\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, according to \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/cbp-releases-september-2024-monthly-update\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">new data\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Today, it’s more fortified than ever, with lighting, motion detectors, cameras, drones and other technology — as well as manpower — augmenting the fence. It’s all been reinforced under both Trump and President Joe Biden.\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yet, in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, as a \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.iom.int/news/world-migration-report-2024-reveals-latest-global-trends-and-challenges-human-mobility\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">global migration crisis\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> grew, the Biden administration confronted rising numbers of people arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border.

In September, Border Patrol encounters fell to 54,000 nationally, just 22% of December’s peak.

For one, since the beginning of the year, Mexico has cracked down on migrants heading for the U.S. border.

Florida had the highest inflation at 4% as of March, while California had the seventh highest, at 3.6%, according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/04/09/states-highest-lowest-inflation/73184932007/\">analysis of the Bureau of Labor Statistics data\u003c/a> by Moody’s Analytics. Even according to U.S. Senate Republicans’ own inflation tracker, as of August, \u003ca href=\"https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/california-inflation-report/\">California\u003c/a> ranked 5th for increased monthly inflation costs since January 2021 and had a cumulative inflation rate lower than Florida and \u003ca href=\"https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/state-inflation-tracker\">other states in the West region\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Taxes:\u003c/strong> California does have the highest state sales tax at 7.25%, but \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/2024-sales-taxes/\">ranks 8th\u003c/a> in total state and local sales tax rates this year, according to the Tax Foundation. California’s property tax rate is at 0.75%, \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/mortgages/property-tax-by-state\">the 34th highest\u003c/a> of all 50 states. The state also has a progressive income tax rate while other states have a flat rate for all.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Gas prices\u003c/strong>: It is true. California does have the highest gas price of all states, at $4.76 a gallon as of today, \u003ca href=\"https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=CA\">according to the AAA\u003c/a>. The national average is $3.23.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Unauthorized immigrants\u003c/strong>: California is estimated to have the largest population of undocumented immigrants, at \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/what-we-know-about-unauthorized-immigrants-living-in-the-us/\">1.8 million\u003c/a>, based on a Pew Research Center estimate of 2022 Census figures. But California is also the only state where that population decreased from 2019 to 2022, while the populations in Republican-led Florida and Texas grew the most.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Utility rates\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.php?t=epmt_5_6_a\">As of June\u003c/a>, Hawaii — not California — had the highest electricity rates, averaging 42.4 cents per kilowatt hour for residential customers, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Gavin Newsom and Harris. He said murders rose “significantly” and car thefts “went through the roof” while Harris was state attorney general. He argued that Harris was lenient in prosecuting several cases, that she had endorsed defunding the police and that “the police don’t endorse her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Crime stats\u003c/strong>: When Harris was California attorney general between 2011 and 2017, homicide rates fluctuated, with an average of 1,819 homicides — or 4.7 per 100,000 people — each year, according to \u003ca href=\"https://data-openjustice.doj.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2023-06/Crime%20In%20CA%202022f.pdf\">the state Department of Justice\u003c/a>. Vehicle thefts ebbed and flowed, averaging 164,000 or 424.9 per 100,000 people. Both rates were far lower than during the 1990s.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Leniency\u003c/strong>: Despite claims she’s soft on crime, Harris has a mixed record. As a local prosecutor, Harris \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">did not pursue the death penalty against a cop killer\u003c/a> — a case Trump used during the press conference to justify his claim. But years later, Harris prosecuted a woman with mental illness for assaulting police officers. As California’s attorney general, Harris defended \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">the state’s death penalty\u003c/a> even though she personally opposed it. Harris remained neutral on various ballot measures about reducing penalties for low-level offenses and \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/29/kamala-harris-california-criminal-justice-00171490\">allowing earlier release for more offenders\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Defund the police\u003c/strong>: It is true that Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/jul/30/donald-trump/fact-checking-trumps-false-statement-that-kamala-h/\">expressed support for redirecting some money\u003c/a> and “reimagining” public safety during her 2020 presidential campaign, weeks after George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, sparking waves of protests against law enforcement. “This whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities,” she said at the time. After President Joe Biden tapped her as his running mate, however, she denounced the “defund” movement.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Police endorsements\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4865127-law-enforcement-endorse-kamala-harris/\">More than 100 law enforcement officials\u003c/a> — including sheriffs, former and current police chiefs and FBI agents — endorsed Harris last week.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12004813\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12004813\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Several people are seating facing a split screen showing a man and woman.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People watch the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris at KQED headquarters in San Francisco on Sept. 10, 2024. \u003ccite>(Florence Middleton/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Immigration and the border\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said:\u003c/strong> He lambasted Harris for supporting “sanctuary cities” for undocumented immigrants while she was San Francisco’s district attorney, claiming she shielded “illegal aliens” who committed murders and refused to deport them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Sanctuary city policy\u003c/strong>: The San Francisco city ordinance — which prevented officials from handing over unauthorized migrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement even if they committed a felony — \u003ca href=\"https://www.factcheck.org/2024/08/trumps-false-and-misleading-claims-about-harris-record-on-crime/\">dates to 1985\u003c/a>. It was originally aimed at protecting asylum seekers from El Salvador and Guatemala, but was extended in 1989 to cover all immigrants.

Similarly, Trump mentioned the case of Rony Aguilera, a Honduran immigrant who murdered a 14-year-old boy in 2008. It is true city officials did not turn him over to federal agents at the time — under the sanctuary city policy that Harris helped change that year. Ramos was \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/SF-killer-Edwin-Ramos-sentenced-in-triple-slaying-3625545.php\">sentenced to life in prison in 2014\u003c/a>, and Aguilera was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/s-f-gang-member-sentenced-in-teen-s-slaying-4847595.php\">in 2013\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Homelessness\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said:\u003c/strong> “After Kamala Harris and Gavin Newscum took charge of San Francisco, homelessness increased by over 200%.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong> Homelessness has grown in California, but not by that much.

For most Michigan and Arizona voters who spoke to CalMatters last month, Harris’ record in the White House \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-california-record-democrats/\">mattered more\u003c/a> than her California brand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, who repeatedly mispronounced Harris’s first name, also blamed Harris for federal economic and border policies and insisted he outperformed her \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/presidential-debate-kamala-harris-donald-trump/\">during the debate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Harris campaign’s rapid response team \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/KamalaHQ\">posted about some of Trump’s statements\u003c/a>, but has not directly responded to what he said about her record or her home state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much of the many, many things Trump said about California and Harris’ record is accurate?

Florida had the highest inflation at 4% as of March, while California had the seventh highest, at 3.6%, according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/04/09/states-highest-lowest-inflation/73184932007/\">analysis of the Bureau of Labor Statistics data\u003c/a> by Moody’s Analytics. Even according to U.S. Senate Republicans’ own inflation tracker, as of August, \u003ca href=\"https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/california-inflation-report/\">California\u003c/a> ranked 5th for increased monthly inflation costs since January 2021 and had a cumulative inflation rate lower than Florida and \u003ca href=\"https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/state-inflation-tracker\">other states in the West region\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Taxes:\u003c/strong> California does have the highest state sales tax at 7.25%, but \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/2024-sales-taxes/\">ranks 8th\u003c/a> in total state and local sales tax rates this year, according to the Tax Foundation. California’s property tax rate is at 0.75%, \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/mortgages/property-tax-by-state\">the 34th highest\u003c/a> of all 50 states. The state also has a progressive income tax rate while other states have a flat rate for all.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Gas prices\u003c/strong>: It is true. California does have the highest gas price of all states, at $4.76 a gallon as of today, \u003ca href=\"https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=CA\">according to the AAA\u003c/a>. The national average is $3.23.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Unauthorized immigrants\u003c/strong>: California is estimated to have the largest population of undocumented immigrants, at \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/what-we-know-about-unauthorized-immigrants-living-in-the-us/\">1.8 million\u003c/a>, based on a Pew Research Center estimate of 2022 Census figures. But California is also the only state where that population decreased from 2019 to 2022, while the populations in Republican-led Florida and Texas grew the most.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Utility rates\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.php?t=epmt_5_6_a\">As of June\u003c/a>, Hawaii — not California — had the highest electricity rates, averaging 42.4 cents per kilowatt hour for residential customers, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Gavin Newsom and Harris. He said murders rose “significantly” and car thefts “went through the roof” while Harris was state attorney general. He argued that Harris was lenient in prosecuting several cases, that she had endorsed defunding the police and that “the police don’t endorse her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Crime stats\u003c/strong>: When Harris was California attorney general between 2011 and 2017, homicide rates fluctuated, with an average of 1,819 homicides — or 4.7 per 100,000 people — each year, according to \u003ca href=\"https://data-openjustice.doj.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2023-06/Crime%20In%20CA%202022f.pdf\">the state Department of Justice\u003c/a>. Vehicle thefts ebbed and flowed, averaging 164,000 or 424.9 per 100,000 people. Both rates were far lower than during the 1990s.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Leniency\u003c/strong>: Despite claims she’s soft on crime, Harris has a mixed record. As a local prosecutor, Harris \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">did not pursue the death penalty against a cop killer\u003c/a> — a case Trump used during the press conference to justify his claim. But years later, Harris prosecuted a woman with mental illness for assaulting police officers. As California’s attorney general, Harris defended \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">the state’s death penalty\u003c/a> even though she personally opposed it. Harris remained neutral on various ballot measures about reducing penalties for low-level offenses and \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/29/kamala-harris-california-criminal-justice-00171490\">allowing earlier release for more offenders\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Defund the police\u003c/strong>: It is true that Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/jul/30/donald-trump/fact-checking-trumps-false-statement-that-kamala-h/\">expressed support for redirecting some money\u003c/a> and “reimagining” public safety during her 2020 presidential campaign, weeks after George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, sparking waves of protests against law enforcement. “This whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities,” she said at the time. After President Joe Biden tapped her as his running mate, however, she denounced the “defund” movement.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Police endorsements\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4865127-law-enforcement-endorse-kamala-harris/\">More than 100 law enforcement officials\u003c/a> — including sheriffs, former and current police chiefs and FBI agents — endorsed Harris last week.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12004813\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12004813\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Several people are seating facing a split screen showing a man and woman.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People watch the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris at KQED headquarters in San Francisco on Sept. 10, 2024. \u003ccite>(Florence Middleton/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Immigration and the border\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said:\u003c/strong> He lambasted Harris for supporting “sanctuary cities” for undocumented immigrants while she was San Francisco’s district attorney, claiming she shielded “illegal aliens” who committed murders and refused to deport them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Sanctuary city policy\u003c/strong>: The San Francisco city ordinance — which prevented officials from handing over unauthorized migrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement even if they committed a felony — \u003ca href=\"https://www.factcheck.org/2024/08/trumps-false-and-misleading-claims-about-harris-record-on-crime/\">dates to 1985\u003c/a>.

Similarly, Trump mentioned the case of Rony Aguilera, a Honduran immigrant who murdered a 14-year-old boy in 2008. It is true city officials did not turn him over to federal agents at the time — under the sanctuary city policy that Harris helped change that year.
