They can move parts around a warehouse, clean hotel floors, and even deliver food in restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the dining room of a Tony’s Roma’s steakhouse in Carson, two robots are used as servers. General Manager Mithun Chowdhury said business fell this summer when immigration raids began in Southern California. “It’s little bit tough, because people are scared to get out. So they don’t come frequently in the restaurant anymore. So the business is hurting little bit,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The robots cost $1100 a month to rent. They run food from the kitchen to tables, and then bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. “It’s very helpful. I also cut some labor,” Chowdhury said. The robots allowed him to cut some employees’ hours — everyone lost about one shift a week, or about five hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robots are not replacing human workers one to one at this restaurant but it’s an example of a future with fewer human employees. Expect to see more of this. Analysts predict the service robot industry will grow to $600 million this year. That could mean not just a loss of jobs, but harder work for the people left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-shooting-stockton-party-b5694f32ae71d2e6d874641a78f65f4f\">\u003cstrong>California Family Heartbroken By Deadly Shooting At Toddler’s Birthday Party\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Family members were getting ready to cut the cake at a toddler’s birthday party when the gunfire started inside a banquet hall packed with relatives and friends over the weekend in Stockton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually thought it was my balloons popping.

They can move parts around a warehouse, clean hotel floors, and even deliver food in restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the dining room of a Tony’s Roma’s steakhouse in Carson, two robots are used as servers. General Manager Mithun Chowdhury said business fell this summer when immigration raids began in Southern California. “It’s little bit tough, because people are scared to get out. So they don’t come frequently in the restaurant anymore. So the business is hurting little bit,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The robots cost $1100 a month to rent. They run food from the kitchen to tables, and then bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. “It’s very helpful. I also cut some labor,” Chowdhury said. The robots allowed him to cut some employees’ hours — everyone lost about one shift a week, or about five hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robots are not replacing human workers one to one at this restaurant but it’s an example of a future with fewer human employees. Expect to see more of this. Analysts predict the service robot industry will grow to $600 million this year. That could mean not just a loss of jobs, but harder work for the people left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-shooting-stockton-party-b5694f32ae71d2e6d874641a78f65f4f\">\u003cstrong>California Family Heartbroken By Deadly Shooting At Toddler’s Birthday Party\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Family members were getting ready to cut the cake at a toddler’s birthday party when the gunfire started inside a banquet hall packed with relatives and friends over the weekend in Stockton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Pasadena-based immigration lawyer lived through the chaos from the first Trump term. She remembers \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/08/11/1116917364/how-the-trump-white-house-misled-the-world-about-its-family-separation-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cu>family separation\u003c/u>\u003c/a>, the \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.aclu-wa.org/timeline-muslim-ban/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cu>Muslim travel ban\u003c/u>\u003c/a> and \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/26/us/politics/trump-refugees.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cu>attacks on refugee and asylum programs\u003c/u>\u003c/a>. Yet, Tolchin and other lawyers and advocates were still surprised at the speed and sophistication of the current administration’s mass deportation campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really much worse than I even contemplated it would be at the beginning of the year,” she said. The Trump administration has \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/border-immigration/2025/04/16/international-students-in-san-diego-caught-up-in-mass-revocation-of-student-visas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cu>stripped international students of their visas\u003c/u>\u003c/a>, deported people to \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.hrw.org/report/2025/11/12/you-have-arrived-in-hell/torture-and-other-abuses-against-venezuelans-in-el\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cu>one of the most dangerous prisons\u003c/u>\u003c/a> in the world, and launched \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/09/08/nx-s1-5534338/ice-chicago-boston-immigration-raids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cu>violent immigration sweeps in American cities\u003c/u>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides the public-facing tactics, the administration has also made a series of quiet legal maneuvers that have made it much more difficult for immigrants to fight deportation cases. These efforts include: Funneling people into fast-track deportation programs, making it harder for immigrants to hire lawyers and making it almost impossible for detainees to get out on bond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after being knocked on their heels in the early months of Trump’s new term, lawyers nationwide are now banding together and developing their own legal strategies. “We need warriors, we need people to help us in this fight,” Tolchin said. Chief among them are writ of habeas corpus petitions — federal lawsuits that challenge illegal and indefinite detentions. Collectively, they have filed more than 4,000 habeas petitions as last-ditch efforts to get their clients released from immigration detention centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filing a habeas petition is unfamiliar for many attorneys. To help bridge the knowledge gap, immigration lawyers are turning to informal networks for help. Some organizations, like the American Immigration Lawyers Association, have even hosted formal workshops where lawyers can network and get a crash-course in filing habeas petitions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kazu.org/kazu-news/2025-11-21/central-coast-counties-want-to-regulate-battery-energy-storage-why-is-it-taking-so-long\">\u003cstrong>Why Regulating Battery Energy Storage Is Taking So Long On The Central Coast\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz County took a small step last week toward developing a policy to regulate battery energy storage systems (BESS).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At almost the same time, Monterey County supervisors were having a similar conversation. “We just can’t have somebody come in here while we don’t have an ordinance,” said District 2 Supervisor Glenn Church, during a Nov. 18 meeting. “We gotta develop an ordinance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heart of the issue for both counties is the idea of local control. Currently, companies can apply with the state for permits to build and run a BESS. They don’t have to go through the county. But, if counties have ordinances governing BESS facilities, a company can instead choose to go the local route. That could mean more community support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the challenge—the state’s climate goals demand a lot more renewable energy storage, fast. Local government is often slow. In Santa Cruz County, they were deciding whether to start a year-long process to develop an ordinance. Even that was delayed. In Monterey County, they were weighing whether to enact a temporary moratorium on new BESS facilities. That didn’t happen either.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Congressional Hearing Examines Effects Of Immigration Enforcement In Southern California\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Long Beach, convened a congressional hearing in downtown Los Angeles on Monday to gather testimony about alleged violations by federal immigration agents, whom they accuse of improperly detaining immigrants and citizens alike, often without probable cause or warrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing included testimony from elected officials, experts and residents who have been directly impacted by the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Andrea Velez is a U.S. citizen who was detained by ICE agents while on her way to work in June. “Terrified, I used my work bag as a shield, but he slammed me into the sidewalk and accused me of interfering,” she said. “When I asked for his badge or a warrant, he refused and handcuffed me. They didn’t believe I was a U.S. citizen or bother to check my ID. I spent most of that first day shackled in a van watching others arrive, distraught and taken against their will.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight also \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/politics/house-democrats-launch-tracking-system-for-immigration\">launched a new tracking system\u003c/a> to document possible misconduct and abuse during federal immigration enforcement operations under the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\n",

These efforts include: Funneling people into fast-track deportation programs, making it harder for immigrants to hire lawyers and making it almost impossible for detainees to get out on bond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after being knocked on their heels in the early months of Trump’s new term, lawyers nationwide are now banding together and developing their own legal strategies. “We need warriors, we need people to help us in this fight,” Tolchin said. Chief among them are writ of habeas corpus petitions — federal lawsuits that challenge illegal and indefinite detentions. Collectively, they have filed more than 4,000 habeas petitions as last-ditch efforts to get their clients released from immigration detention centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

To help bridge the knowledge gap, immigration lawyers are turning to informal networks for help. Some organizations, like the American Immigration Lawyers Association, have even hosted formal workshops where lawyers can network and get a crash-course in filing habeas petitions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kazu.org/kazu-news/2025-11-21/central-coast-counties-want-to-regulate-battery-energy-storage-why-is-it-taking-so-long\">\u003cstrong>Why Regulating Battery Energy Storage Is Taking So Long On The Central Coast\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz County took a small step last week toward developing a policy to regulate battery energy storage systems (BESS).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At almost the same time, Monterey County supervisors were having a similar conversation. “We just can’t have somebody come in here while we don’t have an ordinance,” said District 2 Supervisor Glenn Church, during a Nov. 18 meeting. “We gotta develop an ordinance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heart of the issue for both counties is the idea of local control. Currently, companies can apply with the state for permits to build and run a BESS. They don’t have to go through the county. But, if counties have ordinances governing BESS facilities, a company can instead choose to go the local route. That could mean more community support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the challenge—the state’s climate goals demand a lot more renewable energy storage, fast. Local government is often slow. In Santa Cruz County, they were deciding whether to start a year-long process to develop an ordinance. Even that was delayed. In Monterey County, they were weighing whether to enact a temporary moratorium on new BESS facilities. That didn’t happen either.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Congressional Hearing Examines Effects Of Immigration Enforcement In Southern California\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Long Beach, convened a congressional hearing in downtown Los Angeles on Monday to gather testimony about alleged violations by federal immigration agents, whom they accuse of improperly detaining immigrants and citizens alike, often without probable cause or warrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing included testimony from elected officials, experts and residents who have been directly impacted by the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Andrea Velez is a U.S. citizen who was detained by ICE agents while on her way to work in June. “Terrified, I used my work bag as a shield, but he slammed me into the sidewalk and accused me of interfering,” she said. “When I asked for his badge or a warrant, he refused and handcuffed me. They didn’t believe I was a U.S. citizen or bother to check my ID. I spent most of that first day shackled in a van watching others arrive, distraught and taken against their will.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight also \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/politics/house-democrats-launch-tracking-system-for-immigration\">launched a new tracking system\u003c/a> to document possible misconduct and abuse during federal immigration enforcement operations under the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Scott Wiener of San Francisco in a June 17 letter to the Department of Finance said he was “shocked and disappointed that (the corrections department) overspent its budget by such a significant amount” while the state faced a $12 billion general fund shortfall that resulted in cuts to key health care and social service programs. “These were dollars that could have been used to provide basic services to some of our most underserved communities,” wrote Wiener. “While this year’s budget included measures requiring departments to ‘tighten their belts’ and reduce state operating expenses by up to 7.95%, (the corrections department) did the opposite, and overspent by nearly three percent.” Without having any new dedicated funding to align its actual costs with its budget, Wiener warned, deficits “will likely persist” and put additional pressure on the general fund in years to come.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Her cub, Bounce, born this past winter, is following her lead. Now, California wildlife officials say enough is enough.

But local advocates are fighting to save her, arguing that humans are the ones who need to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One recent afternoon, a crowd gathered in a Tahoe Keys backyard. High up in a pine tree sat a black bear and her cub — not Hope and Bounce — but a reminder of how common these encounters have become. “They’re up there huffing and puffing,” said Kathi Zollinger, a volunteer with the BEAR League, a nonprofit that educates locals about living safely alongside bears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zollinger and her team had rushed to the scene after receiving a hotline call from a homeowner.

At Lincoln Crossing Elementary, that included new equipment for the kitchen and more staff training.

And on this day, they’re serving up burgers. But this meal might be a little different than what you’d expect out of a school lunch. “We have our grass-fed beef,” says Christina Lawson, the food service director for the Western Placer Unified School District. “We have our organic cheddar cheese from Rumiano, which is a producer up in Northern California. We have our local buns that are made by Dos Pisano’s, which is made out of the Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lincoln Crossing Elementary has been working with the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://eatreal.org/\">Eat Real\u003c/a> to phase out ultra-processed foods from school meals since 2023. Lawson says this school could offer an example of what school meals throughout the state could soon look like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new California law, kicking in next January, requires the phaseout of certain ultra-processed foods from school meals throughout the state. Some characteristics the law considers when targeting foods to remove or replace include high levels of saturated fat, sugar and sodium, alongside a host of other ingredients like non-nutritive sweeteners, color additives and thickeners. These foods have attracted mainstream attention in recent years, especially as the federal administration’s Make America Healthy Again campaign has named eliminating them a key issue. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went so far as to describe these foods as \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ultraprocessed-foods-kennedy-f6a2607b14c4a2787c68801a8e0646bc\">“poison.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while federal officials have expressed interest in creating a standard definition for ultra-processed foods, it hasn’t happened yet.

After years of making kitchen countertops from engineered stone, the 43-year-old was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11969381/california-regulators-to-vote-on-emergency-rules-for-stonecutters-safety\">diagnosed with silicosis\u003c/a>, an often deadly lung disease linked to inhaling toxic dust the material releases when powercut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The once-active father of four now awaits a double lung transplant. He can no longer support his family or walk a few steps without pausing to catch his breath. Two stonecutter friends died after working with the man-made material, also known as artificial stone or quartz. Three others are on a waitlist for lung transplants, he said. “I feel desperate just sitting here unable to do anything,” said Lopez, an undocumented immigrant who worked in California for more than two decades. KQED is withholding his full name, as he fears losing vital medical care if arrested by federal authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As silicosis cases surge in California’s countertop fabrication industry, medical and occupational safety experts warn that current regulations won’t protect hundreds more relatively young workers like Lopez from contracting the incurable illness. The state must act urgently to phase out hazardous engineered stone from fabrication shops, as Australia did, they say, to stem a growing health crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Australia banned the use, supply and manufacture of engineered stone benchtops in July 2024, forcing major manufacturers to switch to silica-free alternatives in that market, though they still sell their higher-silica products in the U.S. The companies maintain that their products are safe if fabrication shops follow protocols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1,000 to 1,500 stoneworkers in California could develop silicosis within the next decade, leading to roughly 285 deaths, according to California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA. The state is home to about 5,000 countertop fabrication workers, predominantly Latino immigrants. To save lives, the Governor’s Office could issue an emergency declaration pausing the processing of artificial stone until a permanent ban is pursued through rulemaking, according to a Sept. 4 memorandum obtained by KQED.

After years of making kitchen countertops from engineered stone, the 43-year-old was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11969381/california-regulators-to-vote-on-emergency-rules-for-stonecutters-safety\">diagnosed with silicosis\u003c/a>, an often deadly lung disease linked to inhaling toxic dust the material releases when powercut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The once-active father of four now awaits a double lung transplant. He can no longer support his family or walk a few steps without pausing to catch his breath. Two stonecutter friends died after working with the man-made material, also known as artificial stone or quartz. Three others are on a waitlist for lung transplants, he said. “I feel desperate just sitting here unable to do anything,” said Lopez, an undocumented immigrant who worked in California for more than two decades. KQED is withholding his full name, as he fears losing vital medical care if arrested by federal authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As silicosis cases surge in California’s countertop fabrication industry, medical and occupational safety experts warn that current regulations won’t protect hundreds more relatively young workers like Lopez from contracting the incurable illness. The state must act urgently to phase out hazardous engineered stone from fabrication shops, as Australia did, they say, to stem a growing health crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Australia banned the use, supply and manufacture of engineered stone benchtops in July 2024, forcing major manufacturers to switch to silica-free alternatives in that market, though they still sell their higher-silica products in the U.S. The companies maintain that their products are safe if fabrication shops follow protocols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The state is home to about 5,000 countertop fabrication workers, predominantly Latino immigrants. To save lives, the Governor’s Office could issue an emergency declaration pausing the processing of artificial stone until a permanent ban is pursued through rulemaking, according to a Sept. 4 memorandum obtained by KQED.

In interviews with CalMatters, two Correctional Health Services physicians expressed alarm over the reductions, saying that even the slightest delay in treatment is “wildly dangerous” and can lead to more fatal overdoses. “Patients are begging me for help,” said a physician who spoke with CalMatters on the condition of anonymity because of fear of professional retaliation. “I’m on edge, waiting to see if someone is going to die.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reduction in treatment also comes as the jails hold about 700 more people every day as a result of a tough-on-crime ballot measure voters approved last year. \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/10/proposition-36-treatment-study/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Proposition 36 increased sentences\u003c/a> for certain drug and theft crimes, leading to a surge in jail populations and straining county resources, according to a Sept. 10 Correctional Health Services memo to the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County allocates roughly $25 million annually for the treatment program. County supervisors this year gave the program an additional $8 million from opioid lawsuit settlements. That sum ultimately did not increase funding for treatment because the county shifted an equivalent amount of money to a different need, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. “The overall (medication-assisted treatment) program funding remained the same” despite the extra money the department received, the statement reads. In a Sept. 16 memo obtained by CalMatters, Chief Medical Officer Sean Henderson said Correctional Health Services “will be taking a pause on primary care in ordering buprenorphine.” The medication reduces cravings and prevents overdoses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new mandate restricts how quickly and broadly Correctional Health Services physicians can prescribe the medication. Priority will be given to people when they first enter the jail system — the largest in California — which houses roughly 13,000 people across nine main facilities. Everyone else who wants medication will be placed on a waitlist. “It’s misleading because we just put people on this list and then they stay on the list,” said a physician. That means that if someone does not accept treatment upon arrival, they won’t be able to access it during the remainder of their incarceration, even if they change their mind, said both physicians who spoke with CalMatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/federal-agents-ice-mask-lawsuit-immigration-97bd5027946c677badfc78ba2d85c71a\">\u003cstrong>Trump Administration Sues California Over Law Banning Masked Federal Agents\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration filed a lawsuit Monday over California’s new laws banning federal agents from wearing masks and requiring them to have identification while conducting operations in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government has argued the laws threaten the safety of officers who are facing “unprecedented” harassment, doxing, and violence and said it will not comply with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California became the first state to ban most law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ice-masks-immigration-enforcement-policing-aacbb45b9eca804c2295f52a33a2a0fd\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">covering their faces\u003c/a>\u003c/span> while conducting official business under a bill that was \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-ice-agents-immigration-raids-masks-ban-97936f70699b75d8b483a850967c2e42\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">signed in September\u003c/a>\u003c/span> by Gov.

In interviews with CalMatters, two Correctional Health Services physicians expressed alarm over the reductions, saying that even the slightest delay in treatment is “wildly dangerous” and can lead to more fatal overdoses. “Patients are begging me for help,” said a physician who spoke with CalMatters on the condition of anonymity because of fear of professional retaliation. “I’m on edge, waiting to see if someone is going to die.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reduction in treatment also comes as the jails hold about 700 more people every day as a result of a tough-on-crime ballot measure voters approved last year. \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/10/proposition-36-treatment-study/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Proposition 36 increased sentences\u003c/a> for certain drug and theft crimes, leading to a surge in jail populations and straining county resources, according to a Sept. 10 Correctional Health Services memo to the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County allocates roughly $25 million annually for the treatment program. County supervisors this year gave the program an additional $8 million from opioid lawsuit settlements. That sum ultimately did not increase funding for treatment because the county shifted an equivalent amount of money to a different need, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. “The overall (medication-assisted treatment) program funding remained the same” despite the extra money the department received, the statement reads. In a Sept. 16 memo obtained by CalMatters, Chief Medical Officer Sean Henderson said Correctional Health Services “will be taking a pause on primary care in ordering buprenorphine.” The medication reduces cravings and prevents overdoses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Priority will be given to people when they first enter the jail system — the largest in California — which houses roughly 13,000 people across nine main facilities. Everyone else who wants medication will be placed on a waitlist. “It’s misleading because we just put people on this list and then they stay on the list,” said a physician. That means that if someone does not accept treatment upon arrival, they won’t be able to access it during the remainder of their incarceration, even if they change their mind, said both physicians who spoke with CalMatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/federal-agents-ice-mask-lawsuit-immigration-97bd5027946c677badfc78ba2d85c71a\">\u003cstrong>Trump Administration Sues California Over Law Banning Masked Federal Agents\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration filed a lawsuit Monday over California’s new laws banning federal agents from wearing masks and requiring them to have identification while conducting operations in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government has argued the laws threaten the safety of officers who are facing “unprecedented” harassment, doxing, and violence and said it will not comply with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California became the first state to ban most law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ice-masks-immigration-enforcement-policing-aacbb45b9eca804c2295f52a33a2a0fd\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">covering their faces\u003c/a>\u003c/span> while conducting official business under a bill that was \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-ice-agents-immigration-raids-masks-ban-97936f70699b75d8b483a850967c2e42\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">signed in September\u003c/a>\u003c/span> by Gov.
