Coworkers rushed to lift her to her feet, but she could barely walk. Pain radiated from the right side of her body, where she said she felt the impact most. Her supervisors were alerted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was in excruciating pain,” Vernon, 47, said. “It was very painful to walk on my leg because I lost a lot of movement in my right leg. And that’s what’s bothering me to this day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident and her employer’s response became a turning point that unraveled her life. The once-active Oakland native now spends her days in a wheelchair, living at an Alameda County skilled nursing facility with no income. Vernon blames her employer, Prospect Airport Services, for allegedly failing to follow California’s requirements for responding to workplace injuries. As weeks passed without her returning to work, Vernon’s job was terminated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s workers’ compensation system is intended to ensure employees injured on the job quickly receive medical care while claims are investigated. Benefits may also include partial wage replacement during recovery. But interviews with Vernon, several coworkers and a former supervisor suggest those protections may have broken down in her case, illustrating how workers can fall through the system’s cracks with devastating financial and medical consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vernon lost her housing, car and life’s savings after 22 years of working for airline services contractors at the Oakland airport, she said, including five years as a Prospect employee. “It’s unfair. I needed a lot of help throughout the process, and I felt like they failed me. I didn’t know where to begin as far as medical coverage, how to seek any type of support,” Vernon said. “I hit rock bottom. I became homeless because of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most California employers are responsible for arranging prompt medical attention for a work-related injury. State law also required the company to give Vernon a workers’ compensation claim form within a day and report the incident to its insurance company within five days, both critical steps to beginning the benefits process. None of that happened, according to Vernon and a former supervisor. Instead, Vernon said her manager, Salesh Prasad, told her to go home shortly after her fall. He directed a coworker to drive her to the airport employee parking lot, where she was left alone in her car, with no clear guidance about medical care. She tried contacting Prasad in the days that followed, but he became unresponsive, she said, finally asking her to turn in her security badge. Attempts to reach Prospect Airport Services were unsuccessful. Unifi Aviation, which owns Prospect, declined several requests for comment. Unifi, North America’s largest provider of aviation services, operates at more than 240 airports. The Atlanta-based\u003ca href=\"https://www.carlyle.com/media-room/news-release-archive/carlyle-announces-strategic-financing-unifi-aviation\"> company\u003c/a>, which generates about $2 billion in revenue, is a subsidiary of the privately held Argenbright Holdings, its majority owner, and Delta Air Lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether the company’s alleged failure to respond to Vernon’s injury as required by law was an isolated incident or part of a broader pattern. Failures to follow workers’ compensation laws are often the result of employers not properly training or overseeing their managers, said Jason Marcus, former president of the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association, whose members represent injured workers in the workers’ compensation system. “I’ve certainly seen my fair share of what we kind of refer to as horror stories,” said Marcus, who has nearly two decades of experience. “Somebody gets hurt, suffers a serious injury, and is kind of left to their own devices without any real help or guidance from their employer. And that’s just not how it’s supposed to work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12089306/birthright-citizenship-is-the-story-of-san-francisco-advocates-celebrate-ruling\">‘Birthright citizenship is the story of San Francisco’: advocates celebrate ruling\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For the first time in months, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12033789/lets-fight-back-127-years-after-momentous-supreme-court-ruling-san-francisco-honors-wong-kim-ark\">Norman Wong\u003c/a> breathed a sigh of relief. The Bay Area resident and great-grandson of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12088125/as-america-turns-250-san-franciscos-role-in-defining-citizenship-endures\">Wong Kim Ark\u003c/a> — a San Francisco-born Chinese American cook whose case helped establish birthright citizenship 128 years ago — spent the last year crisscrossing the country, defending a right he couldn’t believe was in jeopardy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12086891/supreme-court-upholds-birthright-citizenship\">rejected President Donald Trump’s efforts\u003c/a> to undo the right with a 2025 executive order, Norman Wong allowed himself a rare moment of celebration. “It’s nice not to be mad. It is nice to be happy,” Norman Wong said. “I don’t consider it a personal victory. I consider it a victory for America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling in \u003cem>Trump v. Barbara\u003c/em> preserved a constitutional right that has stood for more than a century: that nearly anyone born on U.S. soil is a citizen. For Norman Wong and other immigrants-rights advocates, and local officials who helped challenge Trump’s order, the decision was a vindication and a warning.

That’s after the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that all children born on US soil are US citizens, regardless of their parents’ immigration status.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12089491/oakland-airport-skycap-says-workplace-injury-left-her-homeless\">Oakland airport skycap says workplace injury left her homeless\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On the morning of Jan. 1, 2025, Oakland airport skycap Keiana Vernon collapsed while helping passengers check luggage outside Terminal 2. Coworkers rushed to lift her to her feet, but she could barely walk. Pain radiated from the right side of her body, where she said she felt the impact most. Her supervisors were alerted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was in excruciating pain,” Vernon, 47, said. “It was very painful to walk on my leg because I lost a lot of movement in my right leg. And that’s what’s bothering me to this day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident and her employer’s response became a turning point that unraveled her life. The once-active Oakland native now spends her days in a wheelchair, living at an Alameda County skilled nursing facility with no income. Vernon blames her employer, Prospect Airport Services, for allegedly failing to follow California’s requirements for responding to workplace injuries. As weeks passed without her returning to work, Vernon’s job was terminated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s workers’ compensation system is intended to ensure employees injured on the job quickly receive medical care while claims are investigated. Benefits may also include partial wage replacement during recovery. But interviews with Vernon, several coworkers and a former supervisor suggest those protections may have broken down in her case, illustrating how workers can fall through the system’s cracks with devastating financial and medical consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I needed a lot of help throughout the process, and I felt like they failed me. I didn’t know where to begin as far as medical coverage, how to seek any type of support,” Vernon said. “I hit rock bottom. I became homeless because of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most California employers are responsible for arranging prompt medical attention for a work-related injury. State law also required the company to give Vernon a workers’ compensation claim form within a day and report the incident to its insurance company within five days, both critical steps to beginning the benefits process. None of that happened, according to Vernon and a former supervisor. Instead, Vernon said her manager, Salesh Prasad, told her to go home shortly after her fall. He directed a coworker to drive her to the airport employee parking lot, where she was left alone in her car, with no clear guidance about medical care. She tried contacting Prasad in the days that followed, but he became unresponsive, she said, finally asking her to turn in her security badge. Attempts to reach Prospect Airport Services were unsuccessful. Unifi Aviation, which owns Prospect, declined several requests for comment. Unifi, North America’s largest provider of aviation services, operates at more than 240 airports. The Atlanta-based\u003ca href=\"https://www.carlyle.com/media-room/news-release-archive/carlyle-announces-strategic-financing-unifi-aviation\"> company\u003c/a>, which generates about $2 billion in revenue, is a subsidiary of the privately held Argenbright Holdings, its majority owner, and Delta Air Lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether the company’s alleged failure to respond to Vernon’s injury as required by law was an isolated incident or part of a broader pattern. Failures to follow workers’ compensation laws are often the result of employers not properly training or overseeing their managers, said Jason Marcus, former president of the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association, whose members represent injured workers in the workers’ compensation system. “I’ve certainly seen my fair share of what we kind of refer to as horror stories,” said Marcus, who has nearly two decades of experience. “Somebody gets hurt, suffers a serious injury, and is kind of left to their own devices without any real help or guidance from their employer. And that’s just not how it’s supposed to work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12089306/birthright-citizenship-is-the-story-of-san-francisco-advocates-celebrate-ruling\">‘Birthright citizenship is the story of San Francisco’: advocates celebrate ruling\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For the first time in months, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12033789/lets-fight-back-127-years-after-momentous-supreme-court-ruling-san-francisco-honors-wong-kim-ark\">Norman Wong\u003c/a> breathed a sigh of relief.

It is nice to be happy,” Norman Wong said. “I don’t consider it a personal victory. I consider it a victory for America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling in \u003cem>Trump v. Barbara\u003c/em> preserved a constitutional right that has stood for more than a century: that nearly anyone born on U.S. soil is a citizen. For Norman Wong and other immigrants-rights advocates, and local officials who helped challenge Trump’s order, the decision was a vindication and a warning. While they hailed the ruling as an affirmation of the 14th Amendment, some noted that the ideological divide on the court and a broad wave of restrictive immigration rulings signaled the fight was far from over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco was the first city in the country to sue over Trump’s order, filing within 24 hours of his second inauguration, according to City Attorney David Chiu — a birthright citizen and the first Asian American to lead the office. “I know my place in this country is possible because of the 14th Amendment and the courage of Wong Kim Ark 128 years ago, and immigrants like my parents,” said Chiu, whose parents immigrated from Taiwan in the 1960s.

It sought to bar citizenship for babies born in the U.S. to parents who either entered the country illegally or who are living and working here legally with temporary visas. The executive order never went into effect because every lower court judge who reviewed it concluded, in the words of one judge, that it was “blatantly unconstitutional.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Citizenship, then and now,” Chief Justice John Roberts concluded, “was the right to have rights–to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land.’ We keep that promise today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil M. Gorsuch and Samuel A. Alito Jr. dissented. In Alito’s dissent, he wrote: “[t]his is one of the most important decisions in the history of the Court, and in my judgment, the Court has made a serious mistake.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more than a century, babies born in the U.S. have been granted citizenship based on the 14th Amendment, which says that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” Initially introduced in response to laws in Southern states restricting the rights of formerly enslaved Black Americans after the Civil War, the Supreme Court ruled in 1898 that the 14th Amendment applies to all children born in the U.S. to parents “domiciled” within the country. This case was brought by Wong Kim Ark, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015449/a-129-year-old-san-francisco-lawsuit-could-stop-trump-from-ending-birthright-citizenship\">a San Francisco-born man\u003c/a> who successfully defended his claim to citizenship — after officials claimed that the fact that his parents were Chinese nationals at the time of his birth disqualified him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now, only narrow exceptions existed for children whose parents were high-ranking foreign diplomats or were in the U.S. as an invading army.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://next.kqed.org/news/12089263/sacramento-county-seeks-dogs-sent-to-rescue-under-investigation-for-animal-abuse\">\u003cstrong>Sacramento County seeks dogs sent to rescue under investigation for animal abuse\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sacramento County Animal Services has \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-i295jgO3jG55I7Xc-vCtZcVEDaXVA3_/view\">filed a legal demand\u003c/a> to retrieve dogs that were transferred to a “no-kill” rescue at the heart of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12088995/117-dog-remains-found-at-mirandas-rescue-during-multiagency-investigation\">sprawling multi-agency investigation into allegations\u003c/a> of animal abuse and fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The filing alleges the dogs were transferred to Miranda’s Rescue through “straw” rescues without the county’s approval or knowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early May, the Humboldt County Sheriff began investigating Shannon Miranda, the rescue’s owner, after two local animal advocates, Jenna Moore and Jennifer Raymond, went onto the 50-acre rescue property at night and dug up the bodies of eight dogs that appeared to have gunshot wounds to the head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, investigators from the sheriff’s office, FBI, California Department of Justice, USDA and Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office served a second search warrant on Miranda’s property, recovering 117 dog bodies, 21 skulls, adoption paperwork and other evidence. “ The facts that have been uncovered are deeply disturbing, and I understand the community’s desire for answers, accountability, and justice,” Sheriff William Honsal said at \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=mEwSAYzEwY4umkw1&fbclid=IwY2xjawSv29dleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFoazl0Mm90TXdJblhGQk92c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHpjmjUPZOmagRbfhPTDMj_qG8uKWisSi1w5RBncYw6HbMD5WE_MSh4A1Om1X_aem_qBr9zErXpswRVvGUc6EW7Q&v=YwUejiZ3Hng&feature=youtu.be\">a press conference\u003c/a> on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, 91 microchips have been recovered from the scene, he said.

This case was brought by Wong Kim Ark, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015449/a-129-year-old-san-francisco-lawsuit-could-stop-trump-from-ending-birthright-citizenship\">a San Francisco-born man\u003c/a> who successfully defended his claim to citizenship — after officials claimed that the fact that his parents were Chinese nationals at the time of his birth disqualified him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now, only narrow exceptions existed for children whose parents were high-ranking foreign diplomats or were in the U.S. as an invading army.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://next.kqed.org/news/12089263/sacramento-county-seeks-dogs-sent-to-rescue-under-investigation-for-animal-abuse\">\u003cstrong>Sacramento County seeks dogs sent to rescue under investigation for animal abuse\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sacramento County Animal Services has \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-i295jgO3jG55I7Xc-vCtZcVEDaXVA3_/view\">filed a legal demand\u003c/a> to retrieve dogs that were transferred to a “no-kill” rescue at the heart of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12088995/117-dog-remains-found-at-mirandas-rescue-during-multiagency-investigation\">sprawling multi-agency investigation into allegations\u003c/a> of animal abuse and fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The filing alleges the dogs were transferred to Miranda’s Rescue through “straw” rescues without the county’s approval or knowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early May, the Humboldt County Sheriff began investigating Shannon Miranda, the rescue’s owner, after two local animal advocates, Jenna Moore and Jennifer Raymond, went onto the 50-acre rescue property at night and dug up the bodies of eight dogs that appeared to have gunshot wounds to the head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, investigators from the sheriff’s office, FBI, California Department of Justice, USDA and Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office served a second search warrant on Miranda’s property, recovering 117 dog bodies, 21 skulls, adoption paperwork and other evidence. “ The facts that have been uncovered are deeply disturbing, and I understand the community’s desire for answers, accountability, and justice,” Sheriff William Honsal said at \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=mEwSAYzEwY4umkw1&fbclid=IwY2xjawSv29dleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFoazl0Mm90TXdJblhGQk92c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHpjmjUPZOmagRbfhPTDMj_qG8uKWisSi1w5RBncYw6HbMD5WE_MSh4A1Om1X_aem_qBr9zErXpswRVvGUc6EW7Q&v=YwUejiZ3Hng&feature=youtu.be\">a press conference\u003c/a> on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, 91 microchips have been recovered from the scene, he said.

Specifically, those who qualify as “special immigrant juveniles,” or SIJ, who’ve suffered abuse, abandonment or neglect. These youths long qualified for deferred action. And deferred action meant they could stay in the U.S. while they applied for work permits or green cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in May, the federal government ended deferred action for youths with SIJ status. And made it impossible for those who have deferred action to renew it. Now, they’re at risk of detention and deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristina McKibben Sias works with a lot of unaccompanied minors. She runs an organization based in Sacramento and Fresno called the Community Justice Alliance. She calls it a “complete dismantling of every angle of protection that they’ve had.” She adds that she’s even gotten calls from youths while federal agents were banging on their doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2015, more than half a million kids have come to the U.S. as unaccompanied minors. Around 80,000 live in California. Around a quarter million youths have been approved for SIJ status and deferred action protections. They include unaccompanied minors and other immigrant children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rachel Davidson is with the non-profit National Immigration Project. The organization sued the federal government to put deferred action back in place. After all, the only way to apply for SIJ status and deferred action is to actually be in the U.S. You can’t apply from your home country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davidson says that Congress created special immigrant juvenile status as a pathway to permanent protection for young people who are extremely vulnerable, “and if you interrupt the pathway by deporting them in the middle, that means that you’re not understanding the purpose of the statute, which is to protect them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deferred action for these youths was only introduced in 20-22. Before that, Davidson says most presidential administrations didn’t prioritize deporting them. But a lot has changed since January 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

That means residents now have functioning air conditioners….in a region where afternoons regularly top out at 110-degrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shady Lane is one of 28 parks awarded money through the initiative. But that’s only a small fraction of the more than 46-hundred mobile home parks across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program also received applications for more than twice as much funding as it had available. But, as of now, there’s no indication more money is on the way thanks to a tight budget year in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/government-politics/2026-06-23/youth-are-caught-in-the-federal-governments-immigration-crackdown\">Immigrant Youth Caught in Crackdown\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, many of these youths were protected from deportation. Specifically, those who qualify as “special immigrant juveniles,” or SIJ, who’ve suffered abuse, abandonment or neglect. These youths long qualified for deferred action. And deferred action meant they could stay in the U.S. while they applied for work permits or green cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in May, the federal government ended deferred action for youths with SIJ status. And made it impossible for those who have deferred action to renew it. Now, they’re at risk of detention and deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristina McKibben Sias works with a lot of unaccompanied minors. She runs an organization based in Sacramento and Fresno called the Community Justice Alliance. She calls it a “complete dismantling of every angle of protection that they’ve had.” She adds that she’s even gotten calls from youths while federal agents were banging on their doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2015, more than half a million kids have come to the U.S. as unaccompanied minors. Around 80,000 live in California. Around a quarter million youths have been approved for SIJ status and deferred action protections. They include unaccompanied minors and other immigrant children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rachel Davidson is with the non-profit National Immigration Project. The organization sued the federal government to put deferred action back in place. After all, the only way to apply for SIJ status and deferred action is to actually be in the U.S. You can’t apply from your home country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davidson says that Congress created special immigrant juvenile status as a pathway to permanent protection for young people who are extremely vulnerable, “and if you interrupt the pathway by deporting them in the middle, that means that you’re not understanding the purpose of the statute, which is to protect them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deferred action for these youths was only introduced in 20-22. Before that, Davidson says most presidential administrations didn’t prioritize deporting them. But a lot has changed since January 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

One read, “You ain’t safe. We finna change your pronouns soon. Was/were.” Another said that Silva’s “AR will track y’all down.” And yet another read, “The only power you’ll see is the one from a barrel and a 9mm,” according to investigative documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silva is one of the 148 California law enforcement officers who engaged in explicitly biased conduct between 2014 and 2024, according to an investigation by The California Newsroom and UC Berkeley’s Investigative Reporting Program. Records show the officers used racist, sexist and homophobic slurs; mocked transgender people; made violent comments about Black people; and demeaned members of the public, co-workers and incarcerated people, records show. Yet only about 12% were fired because of their conduct. Silva was not one of them. After leaving Delano, he went on to work for police departments in Avenal and Wasco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news organizations reviewed thousands of pages of internal affairs investigations, disciplinary records and court filings obtained from nearly 500 law enforcement and oversight agencies. The records show that some officers accused of overtly biased behavior often faced limited consequences, such as a letter of reprimand or training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or POST, \u003ca href=\"https://post.ca.gov/Decertification-Process\">determines whether to decertify officers\u003c/a>, barring them from working in law enforcement in the state. However, the responsibility to investigate misconduct and impose discipline generally falls to individual agencies and local oversight boards, according to POST.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that system, more than 40% of officers identified by the news organizations still work in California law enforcement, excluding corrections officers.

One read, “You ain’t safe. We finna change your pronouns soon. Was/were.” Another said that Silva’s “AR will track y’all down.” And yet another read, “The only power you’ll see is the one from a barrel and a 9mm,” according to investigative documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silva is one of the 148 California law enforcement officers who engaged in explicitly biased conduct between 2014 and 2024, according to an investigation by The California Newsroom and UC Berkeley’s Investigative Reporting Program. Records show the officers used racist, sexist and homophobic slurs; mocked transgender people; made violent comments about Black people; and demeaned members of the public, co-workers and incarcerated people, records show. Yet only about 12% were fired because of their conduct. Silva was not one of them. After leaving Delano, he went on to work for police departments in Avenal and Wasco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news organizations reviewed thousands of pages of internal affairs investigations, disciplinary records and court filings obtained from nearly 500 law enforcement and oversight agencies. The records show that some officers accused of overtly biased behavior often faced limited consequences, such as a letter of reprimand or training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But, she said, she had the spirit of millions of Americans’ ancestors with her. “I felt a lot of the weight of all those hopes and aspirations, and really a belief in the promise of this country, that birthright citizenship is so much a part of the fabric of what it means to be an American,” Wang said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the landmark case \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/LSB11423\">\u003cem>Trump v. Barbara\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>, \u003c/em>Wang — the national legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union — challenged \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12078161/trump-executive-order-ending-birthright-citizenship-supreme-court-ruling-who-is-affected-can-citizen-be-revoked\">President Donald Trump’s executive order\u003c/a>, which seeks to deny U.S. citizenship to babies whose parents aren’t citizens or permanent legal residents. The Supreme Court is expected to hand down its highly anticipated ruling by the end of the month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birthright citizenship is just one of the landmark legal victories won by 19th-century Chinese immigrants. Their court battles helped secure constitutional protections that remain at the center of today’s debates over citizenship, due process and democracy. As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, Asian American historians, legal scholars and civil rights advocates say those contributions remain largely absent from the national narrative, even as the rights they helped establish face renewed challenges. The semiquincentennial, they say, offers an opportunity to examine who helped build American democracy — and to recognize that immigrants were not only beneficiaries of constitutional rights, but among their architects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The right to automatic American citizenship was established in 1898 under the 14th Amendment when \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015449/a-129-year-old-san-francisco-lawsuit-could-stop-trump-from-ending-birthright-citizenship\">Wong Kim Ark\u003c/a>, a Chinese cook born in San Francisco, successfully defended his claim to U.S. citizenship after officials argued that his parents’ Chinese citizenship disqualified him from it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a constitutional lawyer, Wang has argued many cases at the Supreme Court, but she said this was the first one to hit very close to home: Wang is a recipient of birthright citizenship, and her personal history made her role at the nation’s highest court meaningful for many immigrants and second-generation Americans — especially Asian Americans. “I can’t tell you how many people have told me, both friends and loved ones, but also total strangers: ‘I listened to \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/program/public-affairs-event/trump-v-barbara-oral-argument/675665\">that argument;\u003c/a> it’s the first time I’ve ever listened to a Supreme Court argument. My parents, who are immigrants, listened to [it] and they’ve never listened to [one] before,’” Wang said. “‘And we’re all cheering you on.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang said the effort to overturn a centuries-old constitutional right has helped spotlight critical and often overlooked Asian American history, particularly highlighting how the Chinese community’s 19th-century legal victories helped secure foundational protections for both Americans and noncitizens. Many constitutional protections are now under attack by the Trump administration. Birthright citizenship is only one example. Early Chinese immigrants filed more than 10,000 lawsuits to fight discrimination and raised money to hire prominent white lawyers to argue on their behalf. Some cases reached the Supreme Court, and the resulting decisions continue to undergird many modern civil rights cases, including disputes over \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12050233/how-a-chinese-laundryman-shaped-us-civil-rights-from-san-francisco\">equal protection and due process\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/judge-rules-against-immigration-courthouse-arrests-e99e8e3a27647a716917217cc1c207ab\">\u003cstrong>California judge bars immigration arrests at US courthouses \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A Bay Area judge on Tuesday barred the federal government from making arrests at immigration courts, ordering an end to \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/immigration-courts-deportations-trump-administration-8b9fab5475c0da4c0f13f3381de91448\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">a practice that took hold shortly after\u003c/a>\u003c/span> President Donald Trump took office last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration’s reversal of long-standing policy against arrests at immigration court resulted “not from merely unreasoned decision-making but a complete lack of decision-making,” wrote U.S. District Judge Casey Pitts of San Jose. Authorities failed to address the “chilling effect” of arrests on whether people attend court hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For 80 years, Congress has commanded federal agencies to think before they act,” wrote Pitts, referring to the Administrative Procedure Act, a 1946 law that requires federal agencies to justify its actions. That law, he wrote, “does not require an agency to make the choice that a reviewing court might deem preferable. But it demands that an agency at least provide sound reasons for following its chosen course.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling is the second setback for courthouse arrests since May when a federal judge in New York barred them at immigration courts. That order applied only in New York, while the latest decision invalidated the policy nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/earthquake-study-san-andreas\">\u003cstrong>New earthquake study finds San Andreas fault is primed for a big quake\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>An \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/shows/the-big-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">earthquake\u003c/a> is overdue along Southern California’s “critically stressed” San Andreas and San Jacinto faults, according to a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2025JB033213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>new study\u003c/u>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As stress builds on a fault over centuries, it builds pressure that has to be released in an earthquake. In the study, scientists found that the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults are under more stress than at any point in the last 1,000 years, meaning that a massive earthquake could be on the way. “Because it’s been quite a long time since the Southern San Andreas or the San Jacinto have had a large earthquake, we’ve accumulated a lot of stress,” said Kate Scharer, a co-author of the study and a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using geological evidence, including tree-ring records and sediment samples, a team of scientists created a computer model that shows how pressure accumulates along faults over time. Then they ran the model up to the present day to estimate how much stress is now building beneath our region. They found that pressure has been gradually building since the last Big One in 1857, one of California’s largest seismic events on record. “The idea that all of those segments of the fault could have enough stress for an imminent future earthquake was already there,” said Harold Tobin, the director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network and a professor at the University of Washington who was not involved in the study. “This [study] puts it on more of a quantitative, rigorous scientific basis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One area of interest is the Cajon Pass, the narrow corridor between the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains. “Cajon Pass could act as an ‘earthquake gate,’ like a junction that either stops or transmits large ruptures between the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults depending on stress conditions,” said Liliane Burkhard, the lead author of the study and a research affiliate in the Hawaiʻi Institute of Geophysics and Planetology. The pass is a place where a major earthquake could jump from one fault system to another, Burkhard said. It could allow the rupture to spread farther across Southern California and affect millions more people across the Coachella Valley and San Bernardino County.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/lausd-new-screentime-policy-rules-digital-divide-devices\">\u003cstrong>New LAUSD screen time rules: No devices for youngest students, no YouTube for older grades\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Unified School Board unanimously approved a policy Tuesday to limit student screen time starting in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision follows a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/lausd-screentime-policy-board-education-ipad-laptop-limit-proposal\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">board vote in the spring\u003c/a> that required the district to create a policy to set up guardrails on the amount of time students should spend in front of a digital device.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District officials said that since May they’ve received feedback from nearly 19,000 members in the community. “Student focus and attention were the most frequently cited concerns, along with mental health and wellbeing, online safety, and privacy,” they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes include eliminating use of district-issued digital devices, like tablets and laptops, in the early years, from preschool through 1st grade.

But, she said, she had the spirit of millions of Americans’ ancestors with her. “I felt a lot of the weight of all those hopes and aspirations, and really a belief in the promise of this country, that birthright citizenship is so much a part of the fabric of what it means to be an American,” Wang said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the landmark case \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/LSB11423\">\u003cem>Trump v. Barbara\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>, \u003c/em>Wang — the national legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union — challenged \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12078161/trump-executive-order-ending-birthright-citizenship-supreme-court-ruling-who-is-affected-can-citizen-be-revoked\">President Donald Trump’s executive order\u003c/a>, which seeks to deny U.S. citizenship to babies whose parents aren’t citizens or permanent legal residents. The Supreme Court is expected to hand down its highly anticipated ruling by the end of the month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birthright citizenship is just one of the landmark legal victories won by 19th-century Chinese immigrants. Their court battles helped secure constitutional protections that remain at the center of today’s debates over citizenship, due process and democracy. As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, Asian American historians, legal scholars and civil rights advocates say those contributions remain largely absent from the national narrative, even as the rights they helped establish face renewed challenges. The semiquincentennial, they say, offers an opportunity to examine who helped build American democracy — and to recognize that immigrants were not only beneficiaries of constitutional rights, but among their architects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The right to automatic American citizenship was established in 1898 under the 14th Amendment when \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015449/a-129-year-old-san-francisco-lawsuit-could-stop-trump-from-ending-birthright-citizenship\">Wong Kim Ark\u003c/a>, a Chinese cook born in San Francisco, successfully defended his claim to U.S. citizenship after officials argued that his parents’ Chinese citizenship disqualified him from it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

My parents, who are immigrants, listened to [it] and they’ve never listened to [one] before,’” Wang said. “‘And we’re all cheering you on.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang said the effort to overturn a centuries-old constitutional right has helped spotlight critical and often overlooked Asian American history, particularly highlighting how the Chinese community’s 19th-century legal victories helped secure foundational protections for both Americans and noncitizens. Many constitutional protections are now under attack by the Trump administration. Birthright citizenship is only one example. Early Chinese immigrants filed more than 10,000 lawsuits to fight discrimination and raised money to hire prominent white lawyers to argue on their behalf. Some cases reached the Supreme Court, and the resulting decisions continue to undergird many modern civil rights cases, including disputes over \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12050233/how-a-chinese-laundryman-shaped-us-civil-rights-from-san-francisco\">equal protection and due process\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/judge-rules-against-immigration-courthouse-arrests-e99e8e3a27647a716917217cc1c207ab\">\u003cstrong>California judge bars immigration arrests at US courthouses \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A Bay Area judge on Tuesday barred the federal government from making arrests at immigration courts, ordering an end to \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/immigration-courts-deportations-trump-administration-8b9fab5475c0da4c0f13f3381de91448\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">a practice that took hold shortly after\u003c/a>\u003c/span> President Donald Trump took office last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration’s reversal of long-standing policy against arrests at immigration court resulted “not from merely unreasoned decision-making but a complete lack of decision-making,” wrote U.S. District Judge Casey Pitts of San Jose. Authorities failed to address the “chilling effect” of arrests on whether people attend court hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For 80 years, Congress has commanded federal agencies to think before they act,” wrote Pitts, referring to the Administrative Procedure Act, a 1946 law that requires federal agencies to justify its actions. That law, he wrote, “does not require an agency to make the choice that a reviewing court might deem preferable. But it demands that an agency at least provide sound reasons for following its chosen course.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling is the second setback for courthouse arrests since May when a federal judge in New York barred them at immigration courts. That order applied only in New York, while the latest decision invalidated the policy nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/earthquake-study-san-andreas\">\u003cstrong>New earthquake study finds San Andreas fault is primed for a big quake\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>An \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/shows/the-big-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">earthquake\u003c/a> is overdue along Southern California’s “critically stressed” San Andreas and San Jacinto faults, according to a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2025JB033213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>new study\u003c/u>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As stress builds on a fault over centuries, it builds pressure that has to be released in an earthquake. In the study, scientists found that the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults are under more stress than at any point in the last 1,000 years, meaning that a massive earthquake could be on the way. “Because it’s been quite a long time since the Southern San Andreas or the San Jacinto have had a large earthquake, we’ve accumulated a lot of stress,” said Kate Scharer, a co-author of the study and a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using geological evidence, including tree-ring records and sediment samples, a team of scientists created a computer model that shows how pressure accumulates along faults over time. Then they ran the model up to the present day to estimate how much stress is now building beneath our region. They found that pressure has been gradually building since the last Big One in 1857, one of California’s largest seismic events on record. “The idea that all of those segments of the fault could have enough stress for an imminent future earthquake was already there,” said Harold Tobin, the director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network and a professor at the University of Washington who was not involved in the study. “This [study] puts it on more of a quantitative, rigorous scientific basis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One area of interest is the Cajon Pass, the narrow corridor between the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains. “Cajon Pass could act as an ‘earthquake gate,’ like a junction that either stops or transmits large ruptures between the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults depending on stress conditions,” said Liliane Burkhard, the lead author of the study and a research affiliate in the Hawaiʻi Institute of Geophysics and Planetology.

Among them – Americans are just drinking less wine. But there might be another reason demand is down for California grapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a law that allows U.S. wineries to include cheaper imported wines in products labeled as American. But a bill in Sacramento could close that loophole. \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202520260ab1585\">AB 1585\u003c/a> would require wine that’s labeled American and sold or bottled in California to be made entirely from domestic grapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last few years, grape grower Craig Ledbetter’s family has pulled out about a third of their vineyard acreage near Lodi due to poor demand. Ledbetter considers himself lucky. “We have clients in this area as well who have taken almost 100% of their vineyards out of the ground and have ground sitting fallow,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the state’s largest wine companies could be buying more local fruit — but instead, they’re replacing it with cheaper foreign bulk wines to cut costs. Under federal law, domestic wines labeled with the “American” appellation can include up to 25% imported bulk wines. Those are wines shipped in large containers and bottled at their destination. Ledbetter said the blending practice is bad for growers and misleading for consumers. “You would think that if you’re picking up a product that says American on it, you would think it’s 100% American. And it’s not,” Ledbetter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GinaLisa Tomayo is the board president of Family Winemakers of California. The organization is a co-sponsor of the labeling bill. “What this bill could accomplish, or what we’re hoping it could accomplish, is it would encourage those wineries who are currently importing foreign bulk wine to buy from their neighbors,” she said. “Because California wine grape growers are struggling right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone sees the bill as a good thing for the struggling California wine industry. Some argue that the stricter standard would make it harder for wineries to manage costs and fill supply gaps during challenging harvest years. Tim Schmelzer is the vice president of California State Relations at Wine Institute, a California winery association and the bill’s main opponent. “Very few winemakers actually make this so-called American wine appellation—but the idea of allowing for that flexibility is to allow those that do, to deal with the ups-and-downs of agriculture. And also to be able to make wine that customers demand,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill is currently in front of the state senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>California sues Trump administration over Clean Air Act waivers\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California is\u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-files-lawsuit-challenging-trump-administrations-latest\"> suing the Trump administration\u003c/a> over its latest attempt to undo Clean Air Act waivers, which govern many of the state’s auto emission standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Rob Bonta said the Environmental Protection Agency is ignoring more than 50 years of precedent. “EPA reclassified these waivers as rules and submitted them to Congress for review, no doubt with the hope that Congress will disapprove the waivers and stymie our climate and clean air progress,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government has argued that the waivers should be subject to congressional review. But Bonta says the EPA has always taken the position that Clean Air Act waivers are orders and not rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The waivers consist of four regulations that allow California to stay in compliance with its 2008 greenhouse gas emissions plan for cars. And one from 2024 upholds a ban on the sale of most gas-powered leaf-blowers and lawn mowers.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Among them – Americans are just drinking less wine. But there might be another reason demand is down for California grapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a law that allows U.S. wineries to include cheaper imported wines in products labeled as American. But a bill in Sacramento could close that loophole. \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202520260ab1585\">AB 1585\u003c/a> would require wine that’s labeled American and sold or bottled in California to be made entirely from domestic grapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last few years, grape grower Craig Ledbetter’s family has pulled out about a third of their vineyard acreage near Lodi due to poor demand. Ledbetter considers himself lucky. “We have clients in this area as well who have taken almost 100% of their vineyards out of the ground and have ground sitting fallow,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the state’s largest wine companies could be buying more local fruit — but instead, they’re replacing it with cheaper foreign bulk wines to cut costs. Under federal law, domestic wines labeled with the “American” appellation can include up to 25% imported bulk wines. Those are wines shipped in large containers and bottled at their destination. Ledbetter said the blending practice is bad for growers and misleading for consumers. “You would think that if you’re picking up a product that says American on it, you would think it’s 100% American. And it’s not,” Ledbetter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The organization is a co-sponsor of the labeling bill. “What this bill could accomplish, or what we’re hoping it could accomplish, is it would encourage those wineries who are currently importing foreign bulk wine to buy from their neighbors,” she said. “Because California wine grape growers are struggling right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone sees the bill as a good thing for the struggling California wine industry. Some argue that the stricter standard would make it harder for wineries to manage costs and fill supply gaps during challenging harvest years. Tim Schmelzer is the vice president of California State Relations at Wine Institute, a California winery association and the bill’s main opponent. “Very few winemakers actually make this so-called American wine appellation—but the idea of allowing for that flexibility is to allow those that do, to deal with the ups-and-downs of agriculture. And also to be able to make wine that customers demand,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill is currently in front of the state senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>California sues Trump administration over Clean Air Act waivers\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California is\u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-files-lawsuit-challenging-trump-administrations-latest\"> suing the Trump administration\u003c/a> over its latest attempt to undo Clean Air Act waivers, which govern many of the state’s auto emission standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Rob Bonta said the Environmental Protection Agency is ignoring more than 50 years of precedent. “EPA reclassified these waivers as rules and submitted them to Congress for review, no doubt with the hope that Congress will disapprove the waivers and stymie our climate and clean air progress,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government has argued that the waivers should be subject to congressional review. But Bonta says the EPA has always taken the position that Clean Air Act waivers are orders and not rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The waivers consist of four regulations that allow California to stay in compliance with its 2008 greenhouse gas emissions plan for cars. And one from 2024 upholds a ban on the sale of most gas-powered leaf-blowers and lawn mowers.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
