Then, after just a few minutes, the main attraction. “There’s the otter right in front of us,” Eby says as he slows the boat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A furry brown southern sea otter splashes around in the estuary. Eby spent 20 years in the Navy before he retired from his role as a commander. But after a while, he got bored. So he signed up for a new covert mission. “To go out there in the middle of the night, park, turn the lights off, kind of hide,” Eby said. And look for otters. Not enemy warships—but threatened sea otters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that surveillance led to new understandings about the marine mammals once hunted nearly to extinction for their uniquely warm coats. Twenty years ago, scientists thought these otters typically lived in the ocean. But Eby and his friend Robert Scoles, a retired sheriff’s deputy, weren’t so sure. “We would see things that didn’t fit what they were saying,” Eby said. Like otter footprints and scat on the Elkhorn Slough shore. And that made them curious. They’d just started volunteering at the estuary, and they wondered—if the otters mostly just visited, why were there so many footprints? “After all my time in the Navy and Robert’s time as a sheriff, you kind of like to check things out,” Eby said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For two years, twice a month, Eby and Scoles staked out the otters overnight. No one had ever monitored the animals like this. The pair discovered that many of the otters scientists thought were visiting the estuary were actually residents. And the otters did something called “hauling out”—when they scoot out of the water and onto land as a way to rest and warm up. “And we found that otters here in Elkhorn Slough were healthier by far than all the otters along the coast,” Eby said, because they don’t have to worry about predators, and food is abundant. “So that really was a breakthrough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the monitoring by Eby and Scoles changed scientists’ understanding of otters. For example, they realized that the estuary—which is quiet and undeveloped, unlike a lot of California’s coastline—gave the otters more opportunities to haul out. This discovery led to other research showing that not only do otters thrive in estuaries, but they’re part of an important food chain that helps the rest of the ecosystem thrive, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Lawmakers, environmental activists denounce restart of pipeline\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. Senator Adam Schiff and Central Coast Congressman Salud Carbajal joined Chumash Coastal Band leaders and environmental groups on the Central Coast Thursday. They criticized the Trump administration’s support for restarting an oil pipeline linked to the 2015 Refugio spill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speakers at a Santa Barbara rally accused the Trump administration and Sable Offshore Corporation of bypassing California environmental protections to restart the aging pipeline system. The pipeline was shut down after the 2015 spill released more than 100,000 gallons of crude oil along the Santa Barbara County coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff said the issue goes beyond politics. “President Nixon himself, and this shows you how far the Republican Party has moved from those roots, spoke of the obligation that we had to protect the environment and how this was not just a California or a Santa Barbara issue. This is really a national issue,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sable said the pipeline is safe. However, environmental groups and Chumash Coastal Band tribal leaders warned another spill could threaten marine ecosystems, fisheries, and coastal communities statewide.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Then, after just a few minutes, the main attraction. “There’s the otter right in front of us,” Eby says as he slows the boat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A furry brown southern sea otter splashes around in the estuary. Eby spent 20 years in the Navy before he retired from his role as a commander. But after a while, he got bored. So he signed up for a new covert mission. “To go out there in the middle of the night, park, turn the lights off, kind of hide,” Eby said. And look for otters. Not enemy warships—but threatened sea otters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that surveillance led to new understandings about the marine mammals once hunted nearly to extinction for their uniquely warm coats. Twenty years ago, scientists thought these otters typically lived in the ocean. But Eby and his friend Robert Scoles, a retired sheriff’s deputy, weren’t so sure. “We would see things that didn’t fit what they were saying,” Eby said. Like otter footprints and scat on the Elkhorn Slough shore. And that made them curious. They’d just started volunteering at the estuary, and they wondered—if the otters mostly just visited, why were there so many footprints? “After all my time in the Navy and Robert’s time as a sheriff, you kind of like to check things out,” Eby said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The pair discovered that many of the otters scientists thought were visiting the estuary were actually residents. And the otters did something called “hauling out”—when they scoot out of the water and onto land as a way to rest and warm up. “And we found that otters here in Elkhorn Slough were healthier by far than all the otters along the coast,” Eby said, because they don’t have to worry about predators, and food is abundant. “So that really was a breakthrough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the monitoring by Eby and Scoles changed scientists’ understanding of otters. For example, they realized that the estuary—which is quiet and undeveloped, unlike a lot of California’s coastline—gave the otters more opportunities to haul out. This discovery led to other research showing that not only do otters thrive in estuaries, but they’re part of an important food chain that helps the rest of the ecosystem thrive, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Lawmakers, environmental activists denounce restart of pipeline\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. Senator Adam Schiff and Central Coast Congressman Salud Carbajal joined Chumash Coastal Band leaders and environmental groups on the Central Coast Thursday. They criticized the Trump administration’s support for restarting an oil pipeline linked to the 2015 Refugio spill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speakers at a Santa Barbara rally accused the Trump administration and Sable Offshore Corporation of bypassing California environmental protections to restart the aging pipeline system. The pipeline was shut down after the 2015 spill released more than 100,000 gallons of crude oil along the Santa Barbara County coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff said the issue goes beyond politics. “President Nixon himself, and this shows you how far the Republican Party has moved from those roots, spoke of the obligation that we had to protect the environment and how this was not just a California or a Santa Barbara issue. This is really a national issue,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sable said the pipeline is safe. However, environmental groups and Chumash Coastal Band tribal leaders warned another spill could threaten marine ecosystems, fisheries, and coastal communities statewide.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The policy currently shields over half a million immigrants brought to the U.S. as children from deportation. Roughly 300 DACA recipients, referred to as Dreamers, have been arrested and dozens have already been deported, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/25-28166%20S1%20SIGNED%20Durbin%20Responses_Durbin.pdf\">February memorandum from the Department of Homeland Security.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sacramento, one woman lost her job and is dealing with traumatic memories from childhood detention after learning of the sudden reopening of her case. Daniela Valladares Hernandez, \u003ca href=\"https://www.capradio.org/articles/2026/04/14/sacramento-daca-recipient-ordered-to-travel-thousands-of-miles-for-court/\">a 28-year-old Dreamer who came to the United States from Honduras as a child\u003c/a>, said her life looked different just weeks ago prior to receiving the letter. She was studying for a life and health insurance professional certification for her finance job, planning a birthday celebration and looking for a volleyball league to join in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, she said she cries herself to sleep most nights. “I held a stainless steel cup and in just holding that I immediately had a flashback to the coldness of the bars and the stuff within the facilities,” Valladares said, recounting her detainment after crossing the border as a 6-year-old. “I was really excited and looking forward to celebrating my birthday. I don’t want to say there’s not much to celebrate, but it almost feels more inhuman to myself to create this illusion that I can have a normal day or a fun day when every day there’s work to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valladares was ordered to report in person to an immigration court in Georgia — a state she hasn’t lived in for 10 years — despite having lived in California for four years. She said she requested to transfer the case to Sacramento or appear remotely, but both were denied. Her attorney was allowed to appear remotely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sudden reopening of the case, which she said was administratively closed over a decade ago, has affected nearly every aspect of her life, including her job. Valladares said her employer gave her a choice after learning she could be required to leave for court proceedings or potentially be detained: resign now or risk being fired and barred from working for the company again. “They told me that if I were to get detained and I couldn’t contact my job, it would be considered job abandonment, so ultimately if that happened, I wouldn’t be eligible for rehire,” she said. “However, if I resigned, I could be eligible for rehire one day and focus on fighting my case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has since received food assistance and legal support from NorCal Resist, a Sacramento-based immigrant advocacy and mutual aid organization. NorCal Resist Program Director Giselle Garcia said a weeks-long battle to get the case moved to California, which included garnering support from Sacramento Congresswoman Doris Matsui, finally paid off. A second motion to change venue was accepted by the Atlanta court last month. But Garcia says that doesn’t mean Valladares’ life is back on track. “She lost a job that she worked very hard to get and to thrive in, she’s facing housing insecurity,” Garcia stressed. “She’s still going to be forced to engage in this procedure that is quite frankly not a fair one. The odds are always stacked against the respondent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valladares now has to wait for the Sacramento immigration court to issue a new hearing date. Legal experts and immigration attorneys say it’s difficult to know exactly how many people are in similar situations as Valladares because data from immigration courts is often delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/education-department-lausd-teacher-reassignment-misconduct-policy-title-ix\">\u003cstrong>Trump administration opens investigation into LAUSD sexual misconduct policy\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Department of Education is investigating how the Los Angeles Unified School District responds to educators accused of sexual misconduct with students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department accuses the district of maintaining a policy that “automatically” reassigns teachers to other schools when they are accused of sexual misconduct with students and cites a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/28094823-united-teachers-los-angeles-final-settlement-agreement-2023-100498-df-11-13-24/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>2024 agreement with the teachers union\u003c/u>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Los Angeles Unified spokesperson wrote in a statement that it’s “not true” that staff being investigated for sexual misconduct are reassigned to other school sites. “‘Reassignment’ typically means an employee is directed to remain at home and away from students and schools during an investigation,” the spokesperson wrote.

Supporters said it’s a lifeline for farmers facing rising labor costs. Critics call it a wage cut that could push local workers out of the fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cesar, a farmworker in Salinas, shares that fear. He’s tended plants in a greenhouse for nearly a decade. He’s 45, a father of two, and like many in the Salinas Valley, his job is the only thing keeping his family afloat. “My family, making sure they have everything they need,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the last couple years, that’s felt like a losing battle. After the pandemic, Cesar noticed more guest workers arriving under the H-2A program. At first, he hoped the extra hands would help. Instead, his hours were slashed, sometimes to just 16 a week. “It was a hard blow,” he said. “You still have bills, but don’t know where the money will come from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new federal rule reclassifies many agricultural jobs into lower pay categories. Daniel Costa with the Economic Policy Institute said the losses could add up quickly. “Both migrant farm workers on H-2A visas and U.S. farm workers combined are probably going to lose between 4.4 and 5.4 billion,” Costa said. In recent years, many California farmworkers earned close to $20 an hour. Under the new rule, base wages could fall closer to about $16.90. Advocates said even small cuts will hit workers who are already struggling. That’s why the United Farm Workers is suing the Trump administration over these changes. UFW President Teresa Romero said even a few dollars can make a big difference. “If you cut their salary by $3 an hour, it is impossible for them to have a decent place to live, to support their families,” Romero said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farm industry advocates said it’s too early to know the full impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/carlos-ivan-mendoza-hernandez-ice-shooting-california-4c1e3dc426ac06a1498e295999f0827b\">\u003cstrong>A man shot by ICE in California pleads not guilty to federal charges\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A man \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-ice-shooting-carlos-ivan-mendoza-hernandez-71b60ba1007bd705454a4cef5293da6e\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">who was shot\u003c/a>\u003c/span> multiple times during an arrest by immigration officers in the Central California community of Patterson in April pleaded not guilty on Monday to federal charges that he rammed his vehicle into two agents, prosecutors said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal grand jury on Friday indicted Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, who has dual citizenship in El Salvador and Mexico, on two counts of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon and one count of damaging government property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick Kolasinski, one of his lawyers, has said Mendoza panicked and tried to flee when Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents blocked his car and that he did not intend to run over anyone.

Gavin Newsom vetoed a similar bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney’s new proposal, AB 1556, would set rules for how “recovery residences” can operate within California’s Housing First framework, the \u003ca href=\"https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB1556/id/3425398\">state’s policy\u003c/a> of offering permanent housing without first requiring people to meet conditions like sobriety, mental health treatment or employment. “We should give people who are ready to take the steps to get to recovery and stability an opportunity to do so,” Haney said at a press conference in San Francisco on Monday. “People want to live in housing where they receive the support to be off of and away from drugs with people who will support them in that process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation comes after Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/AB-255-Veto.pdf\">rejected \u003c/a>Haney’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058779/newsoms-veto-of-sober-housing-bill-sparks-a-backlash-in-sf\">AB 255 last year\u003c/a>. That bill would have allowed some state homelessness dollars to support sober housing programs. In his veto message, Newsom said recovery-focused housing is already allowed under state law and argued the bill “wrongly suggests incompatibility with Housing First.” He also raised concerns about creating a separate certification and oversight process that could cost taxpayers money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing First has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12054270/trumps-tectonic-shift-on-homelessness-could-have-dire-impacts-in-california\">credited with reducing barriers\u003c/a> for people who might otherwise be denied housing because of substance use, mental health challenges or other issues. But some local officials and advocates argue the policy has also made it harder to fund housing where residents can live away from active drug use.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/early-childhood-education-pre-k/new-education-programs-transitional-kindergarten-evaluation-bill\">\u003cstrong>After criticism of how California rolls out education programs, a new bill would trigger evaluations\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A bill moving through the state legislature would require independent evaluations of any new education initiative that costs at least $500 million a year or $1 billion in one-time spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed requirement is part of \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB2117\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>a larger bill\u003c/u>\u003c/a> that would \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/schools-chief-was-caught-off-guard-by-newsoms-plan-to-pare-down-the-future-scope-of-his-job\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>restructure the role of the state\u003c/u>\u003c/a> superintendent, an elected position that currently oversees the California Department of Education. “That means that as we make massive investments, as have occurred in the last several years, like universal transitional kindergarten, that there is a built-in independent check to tell us what is actually working,” Assemblymember David Alvarez, the bill’s author and chair of the assembly subcommittee on education, said at \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://aedn.assembly.ca.gov/hearings/2026-bill-hearings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>a hearing\u003c/u>\u003c/a> a few weeks ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While research shows a child’s early years are critical for learning, in February, reporting by LAist found the \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/early-childhood-education-pre-k/california-legislature-newsom-transitional-kindergarten-budget-research\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">state had no formal plans to evaluate transitional kindergarten\u003c/a> — a new grade for \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/transitional-kindergarten-california-preschool-classroom-learning-behavior\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">4-year-olds in the public school system\u003c/a> that was fully implemented this year. ”For TK, as you’ve covered well, you know, it’s nonexistent,” Alvarez told LAist.

They’re asking for double pay for major events including the tournament — an arrangement that the food service workers at Dodger Stadium have for the World Series, according to Unite Here.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/hollywood-actors-reach-tentative-labor-agreement-with-studios-streamers\">\u003cstrong>Hollywood actors reach tentative labor agreement with studios, streamers\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>SAG-AFTRA, the union representing Hollywood actors, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sagaftra.org/joint-release-sag-aftra-and-amptp-reach-tentative-agreement-successor-2023-sag-aftra-tvtheatrical\">reached a tentative agreement\u003c/a> with major studios on Saturday on a new contract covering films, scripted TV dramas and streaming content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tentative agreement still needs to be approved by the SAG-AFTRA National Board, which the union says will meet in the coming days to review the terms.

Some exceed the state’s limits as sold while others can be modified to do so. Many of them are referred to as e-bikes despite not meeting the state’s definition.

That’s concerning for Asha Weinsteing Agrawal, education director for the Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University. She recently led a state-commissioned \u003ca href=\"https://transweb.sjsu.edu/press/MTI-Electric-Bicycle-Safety-Study-Identifies-Illegal-Over-Powered-Devices-Key-Problem\">study\u003c/a> on e-bike safety. “None of these people are digging into whether this was a legal or illegal e-bike or what class of legal e-bike it might have been,” she said. “Like the general public, they hear the word e-bike and that’s enough. They write it down and they go on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means some injuries and crashes attributed to e-bikes may have involved devices that are not legal e-bikes at all. “The e-motos are absolutely a key safety concern, there is no doubt about that,” Weinsteing Agrawal said. “What unfortunately we don’t have enough data to really know is, ‘Are the legal e-bikes a safety concern?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kazu.org/kazu-news/2026-04-27/climate-change-could-create-zombie-forests-bill-would-help-seniors-reduce-wildfire-risk\">\u003cb>Climate change puts native trees at risk\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>New research from UC Santa Cruz shows climate change is a greater threat to California’s native trees than previously thought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.70866\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The study\u003c/a> estimates in the next 30 years some species may lose as much as half of their habitat.

On Tuesday night, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/04/governor-race-primary-debate/\">the leading candidates made their pitch to voters\u003c/a> in a CBS debate at Pomona College – east of Los Angeles, and things got messy. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The city of Marina in Monterey County is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kazu.org/kazu-news/2026-04-28/marina-reactivates-desalination-plant-ioc-brings-back-genetic-testing\">reactivating a 30-year-old desalination plant\u003c/a> to help boost water supply.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/04/governor-race-primary-debate/\">\u003cstrong>Candidates target Steyer, Becerra in free-wheeling California governor debate\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Six leading Democratic candidates for governor were seeking a breakout moment Tuesday night in a race that has been dominated by its lack of certainty, with two Republican candidates frequently in the lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of them appeared to find one in a chaotic, combative and often hard-to-follow CBS debate at Pomona College, prompting former Orange County Rep. Katie Porter to declare at one point that “this is worse than my teenagers at dinner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With less than a week before ballots are mailed to voters, though, the targets were clear: Billionaire Tom Steyer, who has led fellow Democrats in polling and has already \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/04/california-governor-race-financials/\">spent at least $132 million\u003c/a> of his own money on the race; and Xavier Becerra, the former U.S. Health and Human Services secretary who has had a sudden surge in momentum since former Rep.
