On Monday, the Latinx Democratic Club announced that an internal investigation “did not support the allegations” and that its former leader is reinstated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. Ortiz categorically denies any wrongdoing and has provided evidence to the DA that demonstrates his innocence,” Tony Brass, Ortiz’s legal counsel, said in a statement. “Mr. Ortiz will continue to cooperate with the DA to clear his name and will not stand by and have his reputation ruined by false allegations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The internal committee tasked with investigating the complaints was comprised of club members, including board members, and three external experts on sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One woman who accused Ortiz of sexual assault chose not to participate in the internal investigative process out of fear of retaliation and bias from the review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zahra Hajee, who \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/new-allegations-against-s-f-politico-democrats-19552577.php\">publicly accused Ortiz\u003c/a> of sexual assault in a \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> story, opted out after her reports were met with concerns over false accusations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11998021\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11998021\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/230808-SanFranciscoCityHall-22-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"Reflection of a building in a window.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/230808-SanFranciscoCityHall-22-BL_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/230808-SanFranciscoCityHall-22-BL_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/230808-SanFranciscoCityHall-22-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/230808-SanFranciscoCityHall-22-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/230808-SanFranciscoCityHall-22-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/230808-SanFranciscoCityHall-22-BL_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco City Hall on Aug. 8, 2023. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It is upsetting, yet unsurprising, to see SFLDC’s lack of courage by reinstating the man who sexually assaulted me as their organization’s leader,” Hajee said on Monday. “While SFLDC was investigating my assault over the past several months, they used their platform not to advance protections for survivors, but instead consistently and publicly advocate for consequences for false reporting at the SFDCCC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This misplaced focus made clear to me that the investigation process was biased and would trivialize my own experience coming forward — which is why I declined to participate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement, Brass said Hajee pursued Ortiz and blasted her accusation as “baseless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another woman who accused Ortiz of sexual assault in the \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em> story, and who has remained anonymous, said she was never invited to participate in the investigation and was not aware it was underway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12016733 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/GettyImages-184795463-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had no way of knowing there was an investigation and no avenue through which to participate in one,” the woman, who requested to remain anonymous due to concerns over safety and political retaliation, told KQED. “This is really absurd. Of course, they believed him — he’s the only person they heard from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz’s announcement comes shortly after the San Francisco Democratic Party recently voted to adopt new guidelines for reporting and handling sexual misconduct cases, following multiple accusations of sexual assault and harassment within local Democratic chapters that advocates and survivors said largely went ignored until they came forward publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new policies preserve the preexisting option of reporting directly to a local chapter, which can still pursue its own investigation. The Latinx Democratic Club started its internal review process before the Democratic Party adopted the new guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But survivors who don’t feel comfortable or confident reporting directly to their local chapter can now also choose to go through the official Democratic Party. Those reports will go to an ombudsperson and an investigator. An adjudication panel would decide potential remedies and consequences, ranging from restorative justice to admonishment or expulsion from the San Francisco Democratic Party. The policy also lays out an appeals process for the accused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders of local chapters, as well as candidates seeking the party’s endorsement, will have to complete sexual harassment training and incorporate the policies into their chapters’ bylaws by May 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am incredibly exhausted, but will continue to work towards a community that will do right by survivors in their journeys to seek healing and justice,” Hajee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

It will be several more months before the political wrangling over the state budget and thousands of proposed bills truly ramps up, but priorities are emerging as lawmakers try to stake their claim on the hottest issues of the day. Here are some stories to watch at the Capitol in 2025:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Tackling affordability\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After a disappointing election for Democrats, legislative leaders reemerged with a message aimed at easing voters’ anxieties about how expensive California is.

Aisha Wahab, was one of organized labor’s few victories in the 2024 legislative session. California joined about 10 other mostly Democratic states in enacting similar laws \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/capitol/2024/09/california-labor-workplace-meetings/\">amid a surge of labor organizing\u003c/a> in recent years. Expecting the Trump administration \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2024/12/worker-organizing-california-labor-trump-nlrb/\">to be less favorable to them\u003c/a>, unions have been counting on the state law to help preserve the more organizing-friendly environment of the past four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the National Labor Relations Board, which has for decades generally allowed employers to hold so-called captive audience meetings, in November \u003ca href=\"https://www.nlrb.gov/news-outreach/news-story/board-rules-captive-audience-meetings-unlawful\">issued a ruling\u003c/a> calling them illegal. However, Amazon, the employer in that case, is contesting the ruling, and labor experts expect the board to reverse its position under Trump. In that case, the California ban on the meetings would still apply.[aside tag='labor' label='More Labor News']But the suit challenging the law is no surprise. Businesses have already sued over similar laws in other states. Wisconsin in 2009 was one of the first states to ban such meetings; when employers filed suit the following year, arguing it conflicted with federal law, the state backed down and agreed not to enforce it. In Oregon, however, a court \u003ca href=\"https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/labor-board-decision-adds-twist-to-state-captive-audience-cases\">dismissed a similar challenge\u003c/a> brought by the last Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their lawsuit, the California business groups said the law violates the First Amendment and conflicts with the federal National Labor Relations Act. They said it prevents employers from “sharing true facts” with workers, including the cost of union dues, “unions’ interference with employer-employee relationships, unions’ prioritization of the collective over the individual employees, and the financial impacts on employers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Employers have the right to express their views and opinions on many issues,” Jot Condie, president and CEO of the state Restaurant Association, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wahab could not immediately be reached for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

But advocates for the unhoused, and unhoused people themselves, say they can lose most of their belongings in the process and get separated from friends and pets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the city, 51 people arrested on charges of public camping were prosecuted by the City Attorney’s Office by mid-December. Most of those cases were still working their way through the system; eight had been dismissed, and 17 defendants hadn’t shown up to court, likely earning them warrants for failing to appear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer dismissed concerns that the arrests are ineffectual, saying the camping ban is just one part of the city’s broader strategy to address homelessness, which includes investing in shelter and affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The true long-term solution is housing with services,” Dyer said, adding that he also sees a role for enforcement. “I do believe that it’s the necessary accountability that’s going to cause people to change behavior over the long run.

He told Jaquez the clear sidewalks have transformed his ability to get around his neighborhood, and made his daughter feel safer walking around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Y’all finally getting this stuff cleaned up,” he said. “They’re doing drugs out here and then it’s babies right here. All we can do is call for help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You hit me up on 311 if you have problems,” Jaquez said, referring to Fresno’s non-emergency phone number that connects residents to city services. “We’re trying to return neighborhoods back to people who live in the neighborhoods.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the roughly 25 years since he began work as a police officer in Fresno, Sgt. Jaquez said he has watched tent encampments take over parts of the city. After three years working with the department’s homelessness response team, he said he’s proud of his work cleaning up some of the larger camps. But even he doesn’t see this as a solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just moving them right now does not solve this problem,” he said. “But it gives a couple of hours, and then we’ll come back another time and deal with it again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The bills are a response to President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to deport undocumented immigrants, a move that could have major consequences for schools in California, which funds its schools based on attendance and where \u003ca href=\"https://www.fwd.us/news/k-12-undocumented-students/\">12% of students\u003c/a> have at least one undocumented parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both bills would make it harder and more time-consuming for agents to enter schools or day care centers.

It also bars agents from being in rooms where children are present. SB 48, introduced by Sen. Lena Gonzalez, a Democrat from Long Beach, would prohibit local police from cooperating with federal agents — such as assisting in arrests or providing information about families’ immigration status — within one mile of a school. It also bars schools from sharing student and family information with federal authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School districts have also doubled down on their efforts to protect students and families.

Under a \u003ca href=\"https://www.oyez.org/cases/1981/80-1538\">1982 Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a>, public schools must enroll all students regardless of their immigration status and can’t charge tuition to students who aren’t legal residents. And since 2011, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/doclib/ero-outreach/pdf/10029.2-policy.pdf\">federal guidelines\u003c/a> discourage agents from making immigration arrests at schools, hospitals, churches, courthouses and other “sensitive locations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump said he plans to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/trump-scrap-restriction-ice-arrests-churches-schools-rcna183688\">eliminate the “sensitive locations”\u003c/a> guidelines, and the Heritage Foundation, which published the right-leaning Project 2025 manifesto, is encouraging states to \u003ca href=\"https://www.heritage.org/education/report/the-consequences-unchecked-illegal-immigration-americas-public-schools\">charge tuition to undocumented K–12 students\u003c/a>. That could set up the possible overturn of the Supreme Court decision guaranteeing access to school for undocumented students. The foundation’s rationale is that government agencies such as schools are already overburdened and need to prioritize services for U.S. citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The (Biden) administration’s new version of America is nothing more than an open-border welfare state,” Lora Ries, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Border Security and Immigration Center, \u003ca href=\"https://www.heritage.org/press/heritage-releases-more-50-immigration-policies-and-principles-overhaul-us-immigration-system\">wrote\u003c/a>. “No country can sustain or survive such a vision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muratsuchi, chair of the Assembly Education Committee, said he was inspired to author AB 49 just after the election when he listened to the concerns of immigrant students in the political science class he teaches at El Camino Community College in Torrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It became clear there was more and more fear among my students, not only for themselves but for their families.

Nahomi, a high school senior in Fresno County whom CalMatters is identifying by her middle name because of her immigration status, described the threat of deportation as “a major worry for my family and I. Our lives could change completely in a blink of an eye.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nahomi and her parents arrived in California in 2011 from the city of Culiacan in Sinaloa, Mexico, an area plagued by \u003ca href=\"https://mx.usembassy.gov/security-alert-ongoing-violence-and-security-concerns-in-culiacan-and-mazatlan-sinaloa-mexico/#:~:text=Culiacan%2C%20the%20Mazatlan%2DCuliacan%20highway,and%20operating%20in%20Sinaloa%20state.\">widespread violence\u003c/a>. They initially planned to stay until Sinaloa became safer, but once they settled in the Central Valley, they decided the risks of returning outweighed the risk of deportation, so they stayed. Nahomi’s father works in construction, and her mother is a homemaker, raising Nahomi and her younger sister.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she and her family fear deportation, Nahomi is not afraid to attend school. She said schools can help families know their rights and help children feel safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel very welcomed and safe there,” she said. “It is a very diverse high school, and I just feel like any other student. … (But) a lot of these families are probably too scared to speak up about doubts they might have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Politically unpopular?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Patricia Gándara, an education professor and co-director of the Civil Rights Project at UCLA, said the risk of federal agents arresting students at schools is probably small. It’s unclear how many children in K–12 schools are undocumented, but it’s probably a relatively small number, she said. In any case, immigration enforcement that affects children almost always sparks public outcry from both parties, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration' label='More Immigration News']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some people might say they’re anti-immigrant, but it’s another thing entirely when the family up the street, whom they’ve known for 20 years, suddenly gets deported, or your kid’s best friend gets deported,” said Gandara, who’s studied the topic extensively. “It’s politically very unpopular.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the proposed bills could send a powerful message that schools are safe places, she said. Immigration crackdowns can have a \u003ca href=\"https://siepr.stanford.edu/publications/policy-brief/how-strict-immigration-enforcement-harms-schoolchildren\">significant impact on student attendance\u003c/a>, a Stanford study found, which can lead to less funding for schools, particularly low-income schools that enroll large numbers of immigrant children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration crackdowns can also lead to an increase in bullying, anxiety and general uncertainty on campus, not just for immigrant children but for everyone, Gándara said. Teachers, in particular, experience high levels of stress when their students’ safety is endangered, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools can’t rely solely on state laws to protect immigrant families, though, she added. They should partner with local nonprofits to provide legal services and other support to families who need assistance, Gándara said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Schools are one of the last places immigrant families feel safe,” she said. “But as soon as (federal agents) move into schools, they’re not so safe any more. These bills say, ‘We’re not going to sit back and let this happen. Not all of government is against you.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>California ‘one of the best places to be’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Both bills are awaiting hearings in the Legislature. Tammy Lin, supervising attorney with the University of San Diego Immigration Clinic, expects California to continue to take steps to protect undocumented families, but political conflicts will be inevitable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incoming Trump administration is likely to battle California and other left-leaning states over immigration matters. Even within California, conflicts are likely to erupt between state leaders and those in more conservative regions or even between agencies in the same area. In San Diego County, for example, the Board of Supervisors ordered the sheriff’s office not to notify federal immigration officers when it releases suspected undocumented inmates from jail, but the \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-12-18/san-diego-sheriff-and-county-spar-over-immigration\">sheriff refused to comply\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin also said she wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an attempt to overturn the Supreme Court ruling guaranteeing education to undocumented children, potentially paving the way for other immigrants’ rights to be reversed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a slippery slope,” Lin said. “Immigrants know this, which is why there’s immense fear and uncertainty right now. But bills like these show that California is still one of the best places you can be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Suriyah Jones, a member of the CalMatters Youth Journalism Initiative, contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Immigration crackdowns can have a \u003ca href=\"https://siepr.stanford.edu/publications/policy-brief/how-strict-immigration-enforcement-harms-schoolchildren\">significant impact on student attendance\u003c/a>, a Stanford study found, which can lead to less funding for schools, particularly low-income schools that enroll large numbers of immigrant children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration crackdowns can also lead to an increase in bullying, anxiety and general uncertainty on campus, not just for immigrant children but for everyone, Gándara said. Teachers, in particular, experience high levels of stress when their students’ safety is endangered, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools can’t rely solely on state laws to protect immigrant families, though, she added. They should partner with local nonprofits to provide legal services and other support to families who need assistance, Gándara said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Schools are one of the last places immigrant families feel safe,” she said. “But as soon as (federal agents) move into schools, they’re not so safe any more. These bills say, ‘We’re not going to sit back and let this happen. Not all of government is against you.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>California ‘one of the best places to be’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Both bills are awaiting hearings in the Legislature. Tammy Lin, supervising attorney with the University of San Diego Immigration Clinic, expects California to continue to take steps to protect undocumented families, but political conflicts will be inevitable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incoming Trump administration is likely to battle California and other left-leaning states over immigration matters. Even within California, conflicts are likely to erupt between state leaders and those in more conservative regions or even between agencies in the same area. In San Diego County, for example, the Board of Supervisors ordered the sheriff’s office not to notify federal immigration officers when it releases suspected undocumented inmates from jail, but the \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-12-18/san-diego-sheriff-and-county-spar-over-immigration\">sheriff refused to comply\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin also said she wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an attempt to overturn the Supreme Court ruling guaranteeing education to undocumented children, potentially paving the way for other immigrants’ rights to be reversed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a slippery slope,” Lin said. “Immigrants know this, which is why there’s immense fear and uncertainty right now. But bills like these show that California is still one of the best places you can be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
