It was over an executive order that sought to strip the city of federal law enforcement funds because of its decades-old law prohibiting local officials from participating in immigration enforcement. “President Trump’s executive order tries to turn city and state employees into federal immigration officers. That is unconstitutional,” Herrera said at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026179/san-francisco-leads-lawsuit-against-trumps-threats-to-punish-sanctuary-cities\">Last month\u003c/a>, eight years later, current San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu stood in the same building to announce a nearly identical suit. “Immigration enforcement is the federal government’s responsibility,” Chiu said. “Sanctuary policies prioritize using our scarce local law enforcement resources to actually fight crime, not do the job of the federal government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu is suing, again, because despite the city’s success in lower courts eight years ago, none of the sanctuary cases filed during Trump’s first term made it to the U.S. Supreme Court. So in 2025, both sides are trying again: San Francisco and Santa Clara counties are leading a suit over Trump’s expanded order to strip sanctuary cities and counties of all federal funding, not just law enforcement grants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the Trump administration has filed two lawsuits of its own — one against Illinois and one against New York State — over their laws limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At issue are fundamental disagreements over the separation of powers between federal and state governments. On one side, the administration is arguing sanctuary policies violate the Constitution’s supremacy clause, which establishes that federal law takes precedence over state law if the two conflict. On the other side, cities, counties and states contend that the 10th Amendment of the constitution, which divides power between the federal and state governments, offers them legal protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12031375/express-desk-state-farm-rate-hike\">\u003cstrong>California Grants State Farm’s Emergency Rate Hike \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>State Farm policyholders in California are likely to soon see sizable increases on their bills after Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara approved the company’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12025436/state-farm-seeks-emergency-rate-hike-california-after-la-fires\">request for an emergency rate hike\u003c/a>, state regulators announced Friday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The approval comes with provisions: The insurer will have to present financial records at a public hearing on April 8 to establish its “dire financial condition” before the rate increase can take effect, the California Department of Insurance said in a statement. Additionally, Lara is asking State Farm’s California arm to pause non-renewals and ask for a $500 million infusion of capital from its parent company. State Farm has said it would continue all existing policies for “at least one year” if the rate increase is approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Farm requested its emergency rate hike in February, saying it was needed to avert financial disaster after January’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027578/how-we-rebuild-what-comes-after-the-la-fires\">Los Angeles County wildfires\u003c/a> forced it to process more than 2,000 claims and pay out an estimated $7 billion in losses and damages.

Rankin said Sunday that the GOP will be “going on the offense” and expanding efforts to convert voters in Democratic strongholds like Los Angeles and the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rankin is the party’s first Black chairperson.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It was over an executive order that sought to strip the city of federal law enforcement funds because of its decades-old law prohibiting local officials from participating in immigration enforcement. “President Trump’s executive order tries to turn city and state employees into federal immigration officers. That is unconstitutional,” Herrera said at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026179/san-francisco-leads-lawsuit-against-trumps-threats-to-punish-sanctuary-cities\">Last month\u003c/a>, eight years later, current San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu stood in the same building to announce a nearly identical suit. “Immigration enforcement is the federal government’s responsibility,” Chiu said. “Sanctuary policies prioritize using our scarce local law enforcement resources to actually fight crime, not do the job of the federal government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu is suing, again, because despite the city’s success in lower courts eight years ago, none of the sanctuary cases filed during Trump’s first term made it to the U.S. Supreme Court. So in 2025, both sides are trying again: San Francisco and Santa Clara counties are leading a suit over Trump’s expanded order to strip sanctuary cities and counties of all federal funding, not just law enforcement grants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the Trump administration has filed two lawsuits of its own — one against Illinois and one against New York State — over their laws limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On the other side, cities, counties and states contend that the 10th Amendment of the constitution, which divides power between the federal and state governments, offers them legal protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12031375/express-desk-state-farm-rate-hike\">\u003cstrong>California Grants State Farm’s Emergency Rate Hike \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>State Farm policyholders in California are likely to soon see sizable increases on their bills after Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara approved the company’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12025436/state-farm-seeks-emergency-rate-hike-california-after-la-fires\">request for an emergency rate hike\u003c/a>, state regulators announced Friday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The approval comes with provisions: The insurer will have to present financial records at a public hearing on April 8 to establish its “dire financial condition” before the rate increase can take effect, the California Department of Insurance said in a statement. Additionally, Lara is asking State Farm’s California arm to pause non-renewals and ask for a $500 million infusion of capital from its parent company. State Farm has said it would continue all existing policies for “at least one year” if the rate increase is approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Farm requested its emergency rate hike in February, saying it was needed to avert financial disaster after January’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027578/how-we-rebuild-what-comes-after-the-la-fires\">Los Angeles County wildfires\u003c/a> forced it to process more than 2,000 claims and pay out an estimated $7 billion in losses and damages.

But innovation went hand in hand with exploitation of land and rail workers, whose resistance against discrimination led to breakthroughs in labor and civil rights.

One of the most beautiful train routes in the United States, Zephyr’s California path alone is stunning. Leaving Emeryville, near Oakland, it hugs the Bay before passing under the Carquinez Bridge and heading into the Delta, snaking by islands and waterways. After stopping in Sacramento, it climbs through California’s foothills, then into the Sierra Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On shorter routes, a lot of trains have cafe cars with drinks, snacks and pre-packaged food. But many of the longer Amtrak routes have dining cars like this one, with a full kitchen taking up the whole lower level.

It would take California a while to catch up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Big Four had big plans. They purchased a small railroad line, the Southern Pacific, and expanded it dramatically, stretching from the Bay Area down to Los Angeles and across hundreds of miles to Louisiana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early days of the Southern Pacific, the Big Four had a near-monopoly in California. Riding the train was prohibitively expensive, but when a competing company — known as the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway — later reached Los Angeles, it caused a rate war. Tickets from Chicago to LA dropped from $125 to $1. Los Angeles went from cowtown to boomtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, the train offered few amenities and people packed their own food to avoid terrible roadhouse meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of the people would make fried chicken and get on the train.

It would take California a while to catch up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Big Four had big plans. They purchased a small railroad line, the Southern Pacific, and expanded it dramatically, stretching from the Bay Area down to Los Angeles and across hundreds of miles to Louisiana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early days of the Southern Pacific, the Big Four had a near-monopoly in California. Riding the train was prohibitively expensive, but when a competing company — known as the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway — later reached Los Angeles, it caused a rate war. Tickets from Chicago to LA dropped from $125 to $1. Los Angeles went from cowtown to boomtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, the train offered few amenities and people packed their own food to avoid terrible roadhouse meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of the people would make fried chicken and get on the train.

Even though owners are entitled to this money, the DMV doesn’t have to notify them, and the agency has brought in millions off of these kinds of sales.

The state’s environmental laws, agencies and funding streams allow it — to a certain extent — to set its own agenda. For example, California can set its own clean car targets, clean water standards and goals for prescribed burning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In — or more literally on — about half of the state, that’s not the case because the federal government owns it. Here, on this land, federal policies apply. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service is the biggest landowner, holding 43% of all federal land within California’s borders. Next is the Bureau of Land Management, with 32%. The National Park Service controls 16%. The state of California, comparatively, holds just 3% of the state’s landmass, so those who care about California’s public lands and about limiting explosive wildfires also care about federal policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet policy on federal public lands is currently in chaos. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12029178/trumps-mass-layoffs-noaa-cut-into-bay-area-weather-service\">Firings\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026447/judge-blocks-trump-plan-cut-research-funding-after-california-other-states-sue\">funding freezes\u003c/a>, emails that demand employees list five things they accomplished during the week and high-profile resignations have caused \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027914/wide-us-forest-service-layoffs-leave-safety-projects-delayed-fire-crews-depleted\">upheaval and bewilderment \u003c/a>for the people entrusted to care for public lands. Current and former federal and state employees told KQED they were concerned about delayed fire safety projects, canceled training for fire responders, slow response times to fires, and depleted ranks of firefighters and firefighting support staff. The trickle-down effects could mean communities are left at a higher fire risk of wildfire while public lands are neglected and ill-managed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2025/03/dmv-towed-car/\">\u003cstrong>The DMV Makes Millions From Auctioned Cars, And Doesn’t Tell The Owners\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After a Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster got towed in 2023, no one claimed it.

It can partially set its own agenda through state laws, agencies, and funding. But that’s not true in about half of the state because half of it is owned by the U.S. government in the form of public lands. In those parts of the state, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12029182/federal-policy-turmoil-threatens-californias-wildfire-prevention-efforts\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">federal policies apply.\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Did you know, if your car gets towed in California and you don’t claim it, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2025/03/dmv-towed-car/\">the DMV can pocket any profits\u003c/a> after it’s sold? Even though owners are entitled to this money, the DMV doesn’t have to notify them, and the agency has brought in millions off of these kinds of sales. That’s according to a new investigation from our partner, CalMatters.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12029182/federal-policy-turmoil-threatens-californias-wildfire-prevention-efforts\">\u003cstrong>Federal Policy Turmoil Threatens California’s Wildfire Prevention Efforts\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When the politics of Sacramento oppose the politics of Washington, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/california\">California\u003c/a> is able to insulate itself. The state’s environmental laws, agencies and funding streams allow it — to a certain extent — to set its own agenda. For example, California can set its own clean car targets, clean water standards and goals for prescribed burning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In — or more literally on — about half of the state, that’s not the case because the federal government owns it. Here, on this land, federal policies apply. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service is the biggest landowner, holding 43% of all federal land within California’s borders. Next is the Bureau of Land Management, with 32%. The National Park Service controls 16%. The state of California, comparatively, holds just 3% of the state’s landmass, so those who care about California’s public lands and about limiting explosive wildfires also care about federal policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet policy on federal public lands is currently in chaos. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12029178/trumps-mass-layoffs-noaa-cut-into-bay-area-weather-service\">Firings\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026447/judge-blocks-trump-plan-cut-research-funding-after-california-other-states-sue\">funding freezes\u003c/a>, emails that demand employees list five things they accomplished during the week and high-profile resignations have caused \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027914/wide-us-forest-service-layoffs-leave-safety-projects-delayed-fire-crews-depleted\">upheaval and bewilderment \u003c/a>for the people entrusted to care for public lands. Current and former federal and state employees told KQED they were concerned about delayed fire safety projects, canceled training for fire responders, slow response times to fires, and depleted ranks of firefighters and firefighting support staff. The trickle-down effects could mean communities are left at a higher fire risk of wildfire while public lands are neglected and ill-managed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2025/03/dmv-towed-car/\">\u003cstrong>The DMV Makes Millions From Auctioned Cars, And Doesn’t Tell The Owners\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After a Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster got towed in 2023, no one claimed it. The iconic sports car sat at a Torrance tow yard for five months, long enough that the towing company had the right to sell it. The sale allowed the company to recoup its costs for the tow, storage and lien sale, $11,332. But there was plenty left over: $99,668, which went to the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

Gavin Newsom called it “deeply unfair” for transgender athletes to participate in girls’ sports this week — a notable change in his position that thrust the Democratic governor into the center of a national maelstrom. It was unclear whether he will act on his new position as Republicans urged him to follow conservative states in banning transgender athletes from girls’ sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The comments came on the first episode of Newsom’s new podcast, “This Is Gavin Newsom,” on which the governor has said \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/26/gavin-newsom-podcast-maga-00206153\">he plans to interview political figures\u003c/a> he disagrees with about the major issues of the day.

Gavin Newsom called it “deeply unfair” for transgender athletes to participate in girls’ sports this week — a notable change in his position that thrust the Democratic governor into the center of a national maelstrom. It was unclear whether he will act on his new position as Republicans urged him to follow conservative states in banning transgender athletes from girls’ sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The comments came on the first episode of Newsom’s new podcast, “This Is Gavin Newsom,” on which the governor has said \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/26/gavin-newsom-podcast-maga-00206153\">he plans to interview political figures\u003c/a> he disagrees with about the major issues of the day.

Just a few months earlier, the Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11991340/supreme-court-says-laws-criminalizing-homeless-camping-do-not-violate-constitution\">had given cities greater leeway to remove people\u003c/a> living in structures like hers, under threat of fines and jail time — even if no alternative shelter was available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She sued. And in February, a district court judge determined she could stay until the case is resolved in a victory legal advocates say is the first of its kind in the country since the Supreme Court’s order last year — and one they say could have broad implications for legal fights over homeless encampments across the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/03/california-employees-remote-work/\">\u003cstrong>Newsom Orders State Workers Back To Office Four Days A Week\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Governor Gavin Newsom has signed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/RTO-EO-3.3.25_-GGN-signed.pdf\">executive order\u003c/a> mandating that all state agencies and departments that continue to offer remote work require a minimum of four in-person days per work week starting on July 1.
