But as California voters prepare for the March 3 primary election, the issue of immigration could play an increasingly important role in helping to define the differences between the Democratic candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians rank immigration as one of the top four issues facing the state — after homelessness, the economy and housing costs — and half the state’s residents say they fear someone they know could be deported, according to a September \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-their-government-september-2019.pdf\">poll\u003c/a> by the Public Policy Institute of California. The poll found that Californians also overwhelmingly believe immigrants are a benefit to the state rather than a burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that California has \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/immigrant-population-state-1990-present?width=1000&height=850&iframe=true\">far more immigrants\u003c/a> than any other state makes it a place where immigrants are familiar and integral to the fabric of most communities, scholars say. Indeed, more than one in four Californians were born in another country, and half of all children in the state have an immigrant parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes immigration “a litmus issue” for voters here, according to USC sociology professor Manuel Pastor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re perceived to be anti-immigrant, you’re not in the running,” Pastor said. “That’s one reason Trump polls so weakly in the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11801732\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]With a series of executive actions over the past three years, Trump has restricted the ability of low-income immigrants to get green cards, made it almost impossible for migrants at the southern border to apply for asylum, dramatically increased immigration detention, slashed refugee admissions, moved to end protections for Dreamers and tried to fund a wall along parts of the 2,000-mile border with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the president has frequently used language to denigrate immigrants, calling them “dangerous,” “criminals” and the source of an “invasion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the Democratic presidential candidates, by contrast, describe immigrants as contributors to the richness and vitality of the United States, and honor the central role of immigration in U.S. history and the country’s future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat who chairs the House Subcommittee on Immigration, said she expected a Democratic president to set a new tone that treats immigrants with dignity and would provide leadership on a comprehensive overhaul of U.S. immigration laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The immigration laws haven’t been seriously reformed for many decades and they’re not serving the country very well,” said Lofgren. “So top-to-bottom reform is overdue and should be done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that could prove tough, even if Democrats win control of the U.S. Senate and retain the House, said UC Riverside political science professor Karthick Ramakrishnan. That’s because the Senate filibuster rule allows the minority party to block legislation unless there are 60 votes. Since Democrats are unlikely to win that many Senate seats, and Republicans are disinclined to support immigration reform, the next president would be limited to using executive authority, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"forum_2010101876034\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]“If a Democrat wins, you’ll see some attempts to restore DACA, roll back the rule on ‘public charge’ and the travel ban, and allow more refugees to come into the country,” said Ramakrishnan. “The past few years have shown there’s a lot the president can do to make life more difficult or less difficult for immigrants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic candidates agree on many aspects of immigration policy — and all would reverse many of Trump’s initiatives. But some consider the issue more of a priority than others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are obvious differences between a progressive candidate like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose immigration plan refers to the president as “a racist” and calls for abolishing the Department of Homeland Security, and a moderate like Michael Bloomberg, whose plan speaks about the need for national security and emphasizes that legalization for undocumented immigrants must be “earned” by paying taxes and passing background checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure

Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat who chairs the House Subcommittee on Immigration, said she expected a Democratic president to set a new tone that treats immigrants with dignity and would provide leadership on a comprehensive overhaul of U.S. immigration laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The immigration laws haven’t been seriously reformed for many decades and they’re not serving the country very well,” said Lofgren. “So top-to-bottom reform is overdue and should be done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that could prove tough, even if Democrats win control of the U.S. Senate and retain the House, said UC Riverside political science professor Karthick Ramakrishnan. That’s because the Senate filibuster rule allows the minority party to block legislation unless there are 60 votes. Since Democrats are unlikely to win that many Senate seats, and Republicans are disinclined to support immigration reform, the next president would be limited to using executive authority, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Claimants have since filed more than $50 billion in wildfire claims, which the utility has proposed settling for a total of $25.5 billion, which includes reimbursement for insurers and other things. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys representing the victims concede the settlement isn’t perfect, but they say it’s the best deal possible under the circumstances. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='pge']PG&E believes the misgivings about the settlement are being expressed by a vocal minority. In a Wednesday statement, the company reiterated its belief that the deal “brings us one significant step closer to getting victims paid so they can rebuild their lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there is a growing sentiment among victims that they’re getting such a raw deal that they should reject it, even if that means waiting longer to be paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want you to know that many of us understand what is happening and that we will move heaven and earth to stop it,” Lisa Williams, another survivor of the Camp Fire, vowed in a Feb. 6 letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams, 59, now lives in Las Vegas and started a wildfire victims group on Facebook opposing the current deal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compounding frustration over the plan to pay them in stock, PG&E agreed to an all-cash settlement of $11 billion to reimburse about 110 insurers for losses paid out to policyholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only do we have to wait to get paid but we’d have to depend on the company’s recovery,” said Meek, who said he has moved many times since losing his house, and is nowhere close to rebuilding on his property. “If a fire comes again, what will happen to the stock price?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time PG&E emerged from bankruptcy in April 2004, its stock more than doubled while paying out billions of dollars in dividends. PG&E’s stock has sunk as low as $3.55 four months ago, but has since rebounded to $16 to $18 per share, largely on hopes the company will be able to deliver on its projection of record profits as it bounces back from bankruptcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Court documents say none of the victims will have to accept PG&E stock if they don’t want it but the process for choosing an alternative hasn’t been spelled out yet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarah Bates, a 67-year-old former nurse who moved to Virginia after losing her Paradise home in 2018, said those affected the most are being “tossed aside.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t have a lot of faith that I’m going to see any significant compensation at the end of it all,” Bates said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Lily Jamali and David Marks contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The release continued: “Many of the witnesses expressed fear of retaliation in the industry as their reason for not coming forward sooner. The AGMA Board of Governors has accepted the findings of the report and will take appropriate action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation \u003ca href=\"https://www.musicalartists.org/agma-opens-independent-investigation-into-allegations-against-placido-domingo/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was launched\u003c/a> last September. Two sources tell NPR that its conclusion was to include a $500,000 settlement between the singer and AGMA. But, the sources say, the settlement was retracted overnight after The Associated Press\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/1a8add4db2c4ba38420b7b8b2857ffac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> published some details\u003c/a> about the investigators’ findings early Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AP reported that the investigators hired by AGMA spoke to 27 people who said that they were either “sexually harassed or witnessed inappropriate behavior” over the course of two decades and that the timeline of Domingo’s behavior included the periods during which he was artistic director at Washington National Opera and general director of LA Opera. One of NPR’s sources who saw the investigators’ report confirmed the total number of alleged victims and witnesses, as well as the time frame of the misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 79-year-old singer’s representatives did not immediately reply to NPR’s request for comment. However, he issued a statement to the AP, saying: “I have taken time over the last several months to reflect on the allegations that various colleagues of mine have made against me. I respect that these women finally felt comfortable enough to speak out, and I want them to know that I am truly sorry for the hurt that I caused them. I accept full responsibility for my actions, and I have grown from this experience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AGMA investigation, as well as a separate independent investigation led by LA Opera, was launched after the AP \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/3baf2ccc59144284b227f29eb7d44797\">last year\u003c/a> reported accusations of 20 women who said that Domingo had sexually harassed them as far back as the 1980s and as recently as the 2016-2017 opera season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement issued Tuesday, the two Domingo accusers who have come forward by name—singers Patricia Wulf and Angela Turner Wilson—urged AGMA to drop Domingo’s membership from the union. “Even though the industry failed to protect us from misogynist and predatory behavior, an expulsion from the union would signal that the industry is learning from its mistakes and that sexual harassment and abuse—perpetuated by industry complicity—will not be tolerated in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the same statement, the two women’s lawyer, Debra Katz, who also represents other Domingo accusers, urged AGMA to release the results of its investigation, saying: “Opera companies may have prioritized ticket sales generated by powerful men over the safety of women in the industry, but the AGMA now has an opportunity to send a clear message that the safety and dignity of women matter. We look forward to the release of the final report.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several prominent American companies, including most notably the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/24/764011716/placido-domingo-out-at-metropolitan-opera-following-sexual-misconduct-allegation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Metropolitan Opera\u003c/a>, parted ways with Domingo in the wake of the accusations. By contrast, many European opera houses and singers either offered him public support or suggested that they would await the results of the investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking anonymously for fear of retribution, the sources with knowledge of the planned $500,000 settlement told NPR that Domingo’s legal team withdrew its settlement offer with AGMA early Tuesday morning. NPR has viewed the email which senior AGMA leadership sent early Tuesday to its \u003ca href=\"https://www.musicalartists.org/about-agma/board-members-officers/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">officers and national board of governors\u003c/a>, a group of about 80 individuals, saying that the union intends to take “appropriate action” against any members who had spoken to the AP, adding: “The damage caused by these individuals to our union, our members and the targets of Domingo’s harassment is incalculable.” AGMA declined to comment to NPR on details of the tentative settlement or its withdrawal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results of the AGMA investigation were not supposed to be disclosed, either in summary or in full, to the public or to the union’s membership. Union leaders, however, were permitted to speak individually to members about the investigation and its findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funds from the settlement were supposed to cover AGMA’s fees for the investigation, to fund a sexual harassment prevention training program for AGMA’s membership and possibly also to be distributed in part to a variety of organizations that aid survivors of sexual misconduct and abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its Tuesday public statement, AGMA said that the union and its signatory performing arts companies plan to “improve culture” and “prevent harassment in the future.” Additionally, AGMA said it will conduct a promotional campaign and use training programs “to empower its membership to speak out and prevent harassment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The separate investigation \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/08/13/750766148/report-placido-domingo-accused-of-sexual-harassment-by-multiple-women\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">launched\u003c/a> by LA Opera, where Domingo was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/10/02/766513143/placido-domingo-resigns-from-la-opera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">general director\u003c/a> for 16 years before resigning last October, is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

I accept full responsibility for my actions, and I have grown from this experience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AGMA investigation, as well as a separate independent investigation led by LA Opera, was launched after the AP \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/3baf2ccc59144284b227f29eb7d44797\">last year\u003c/a> reported accusations of 20 women who said that Domingo had sexually harassed them as far back as the 1980s and as recently as the 2016-2017 opera season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement issued Tuesday, the two Domingo accusers who have come forward by name—singers Patricia Wulf and Angela Turner Wilson—urged AGMA to drop Domingo’s membership from the union. “Even though the industry failed to protect us from misogynist and predatory behavior, an expulsion from the union would signal that the industry is learning from its mistakes and that sexual harassment and abuse—perpetuated by industry complicity—will not be tolerated in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the same statement, the two women’s lawyer, Debra Katz, who also represents other Domingo accusers, urged AGMA to release the results of its investigation, saying: “Opera companies may have prioritized ticket sales generated by powerful men over the safety of women in the industry, but the AGMA now has an opportunity to send a clear message that the safety and dignity of women matter. We look forward to the release of the final report.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several prominent American companies, including most notably the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/24/764011716/placido-domingo-out-at-metropolitan-opera-following-sexual-misconduct-allegation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Metropolitan Opera\u003c/a>, parted ways with Domingo in the wake of the accusations. By contrast, many European opera houses and singers either offered him public support or suggested that they would await the results of the investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking anonymously for fear of retribution, the sources with knowledge of the planned $500,000 settlement told NPR that Domingo’s legal team withdrew its settlement offer with AGMA early Tuesday morning. NPR has viewed the email which senior AGMA leadership sent early Tuesday to its \u003ca href=\"https://www.musicalartists.org/about-agma/board-members-officers/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">officers and national board of governors\u003c/a>, a group of about 80 individuals, saying that the union intends to take “appropriate action” against any members who had spoken to the AP, adding: “The damage caused by these individuals to our union, our members and the targets of Domingo’s harassment is incalculable.” AGMA declined to comment to NPR on details of the tentative settlement or its withdrawal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results of the AGMA investigation were not supposed to be disclosed, either in summary or in full, to the public or to the union’s membership. Union leaders, however, were permitted to speak individually to members about the investigation and its findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funds from the settlement were supposed to cover AGMA’s fees for the investigation, to fund a sexual harassment prevention training program for AGMA’s membership and possibly also to be distributed in part to a variety of organizations that aid survivors of sexual misconduct and abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its Tuesday public statement, AGMA said that the union and its signatory performing arts companies plan to “improve culture” and “prevent harassment in the future.” Additionally, AGMA said it will conduct a promotional campaign and use training programs “to empower its membership to speak out and prevent harassment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The separate investigation \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/08/13/750766148/report-placido-domingo-accused-of-sexual-harassment-by-multiple-women\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">launched\u003c/a> by LA Opera, where Domingo was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/10/02/766513143/placido-domingo-resigns-from-la-opera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">general director\u003c/a> for 16 years before resigning last October, is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.
