The GPO has been moving toward digital preservation since 2016 and runs an \u003ca href=\"https://www.govinfo.gov/about\">online database\u003c/a> of government records, and in recent years, it has \u003ca href=\"https://www.gpo.gov/who-we-are/news-media/news-and-press-releases/task-force-recommends-a-digital-federal-depository-library-program\">ramped up efforts\u003c/a> to digitize the Federal Depository Library Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Participating libraries have largely pivoted to the GPO’s digital approach, but digitizing countless physical documents is a massive undertaking — one that the Internet Archive has experience with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, the Internet Archive has helped libraries and other academic institutions in digitizing their collections and hosting them online.

Its Open Library was at the center of a yearslong \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12003100/internet-archive-loses-appeal-in-major-copyright-case\">legal battle\u003c/a> after four major publishers sued the Internet Archive for\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12003819/internet-archives-open-library-faces-uncertain-future-after-court-sides-with-publishers\"> temporarily lifting its waitlists\u003c/a> in 2020 — instead of loaning its digital copies to one user at a time. By doing so, the publishers alleged, the Internet Archive illegally provided free e-books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, an appeals court upheld a 2023 federal court decision that ruled against the Internet Archive. The organization has had to remove more than half a million titles since the lawsuit started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Internet Archive has also been targeted by major music labels, including Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group, over the \u003ca href=\"https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/music/musicians-demand-music-labels-drop-their-internet-archive-lawsuit-214139644.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAK2IFY7PAMZw0BT91Rg2Pvhx66osGJFtnuFHxCEEx9slXFq6Lu1c6VJvuUZm0sVSQBFj11ViHZ6hZN6a_JMUEDU_hhjxeh_HxVHNP47DDOj9w5pnFaUWg81zH_miG2pKzGHH68STu0eXU_K2zFYpaJcNSunaSm1U71VVfyL2DIlF\">Great 78 Project\u003c/a>, an initiative to preserve 78 RPM records.

A group of current and former university librarians \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/opinion/views/2023/03/16/librarians-should-stand-internet-archive-opinion\">wrote an op-ed\u003c/a> in support of the Internet Archive, calling the organization “the most significant specialized library to emerge in decades” and a “modern-day cultural institution built intentionally in response to the technological revolution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether joining the Federal Depository Library Program would do anything to bolster the Internet Archive’s defense in copyright lawsuits. Kahle said that the designation doesn’t change the organization’s practices and clarified that government publications, such as environmental reports and congressional records, are not copyrighted, so they can be digitized, archived and distributed without issue.[aside postID=news_12049405 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/Muir-Woods-Exhibit-1.png']“And so they can be free flowing and be woven in the fabric of our knowledge ecosystem if they’re in digital form,” Kahle added. “So this kind of change of adapting to the digital era, it’s just another step, just the same way that we all adapted from print to microfilm, to CDs, to DVDs, and now, to digital. It’s just a natural step that we libraries are all going through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Internet Archive also operates the \u003ca href=\"https://web.archive.org/\">Wayback Machine\u003c/a>, which saves webpages across the internet and stores archived versions in a searchable online database. Following President Trump’s return to the White House, it \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/03/23/nx-s1-5326573/internet-archive-wayback-machine-trump\">scrambled to preserve\u003c/a> government agencies’ pages that were being wiped in a purge of mentions of climate change, reproductive health, gender and sexuality and public health information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joining the Federal Depository Library Program, Kahle said, is part of the Internet Archive’s mission to keep knowledge accessible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Toward the fantasticness and vastness of what’s going on online, in October, the Internet Archive will hit a milestone of 1 trillion pages. And that 1 trillion is not just a testament to what libraries are able to do, but actually the sharing that people and governments have to try and create an educated populace,” Kahle continued. “We should be celebrating what it is that’s going on in the broader internet, towards sharing and creating materials that we’re all learning from, and we’re very happy to be part of the Federal Depository Library Program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/cegusa\">\u003cem>Chris Egusa\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Correction: A previous version of this article misstated the San Diego Public Library’s federal depository status.

By doing so, the publishers alleged, the Internet Archive illegally provided free e-books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, an appeals court upheld a 2023 federal court decision that ruled against the Internet Archive.

A group of current and former university librarians \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/opinion/views/2023/03/16/librarians-should-stand-internet-archive-opinion\">wrote an op-ed\u003c/a> in support of the Internet Archive, calling the organization “the most significant specialized library to emerge in decades” and a “modern-day cultural institution built intentionally in response to the technological revolution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether joining the Federal Depository Library Program would do anything to bolster the Internet Archive’s defense in copyright lawsuits.

I’m a survivor of sexual abuse. So I was in a way fleeing that unsafe home situation,” Vázquez Topete said. ” And I was also trying to open up economic opportunities as a 12-year-old — coming from a poor family in Mexico and thinking, how would I be able to one day go to college and attain a degree.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vázquez Topete was a beneficiary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. As a DACA recipient, she graduated from Fresno Pacific University in 2015. But she never really had a pathway to citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With President Trump’s second term in office and his promise to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, Vázquez Topete said she thought long and hard about her future in the country. “I think it came down to this point for me. Our DACA program is going up in battle with the Supreme Court every couple of years. Then it goes down to the lower courts,” she said. “I have a work permit. I just sort of became emotionally exhausted of this uncertainty. I want to be able to move across different countries without feeling like I cannot come back to my home.” So in May, she decided to leave the country on her own. She’s in Mexico right now, and will be traveling to Spain for her master’s degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what would she say to immigrants who are thinking of coming to the U.S. for the “American Dream?” “There is no such thing as only one dream in America. Our dreams exist beyond borders, right? I am reconnecting with my roots in Mexico, rediscovering my country, something I was never able to do before. And I’m on my way to Europe,” she said. “So unless you have that legal pathway upon leaving to the United States, consider other options. I think we have the power to create our own immigration narrative without feeling so confined to only one place and without being afraid of our status constantly every two years. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Senator Padilla Introduces New Bill Related To Immigration Officers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. Senator Alex Padilla from California is \u003ca href=\"https://www.padilla.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/padilla-booker-unveil-new-bill-to-require-immigration-officers-to-display-clear-identification/\">introducing a bill\u003c/a> to require federal immigration officers to display ID – and show their faces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill – which Padilla co-wrote with New Jersey Senator Cory Booker – is called the “VISIBLE” Act. It would require federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, to have the name of their agency, and their own name or initials, visible on their uniforms. And it would prohibit them from wearing masks, unless they’re medical ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla said in a statement that current operations – where agents are wearing tactical gear and covering their faces with balaclavas or scarves – are creating fear and distrust among the public – and could allow impersonators to kidnap people off the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/politics/los-angeles-and-other-cities-join-lawsuit-against-federal-government-in-response-to-immigration-sweeps\">\u003cstrong>Los Angeles And Other Cities Join Lawsuit Over Immigration Sweeps\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles is mounting a legal challenge to the immigration sweeps that have spread fear and outrage across the region in recent weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. city, county and surrounding communities announced Tuesday that they \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://cityattorney.lacity.gov/updates/la-city-attorney-hydee-feldstein-and-local-leaders-file-motion-intervene-federal-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>have joined a lawsuit\u003c/u>\u003c/a> that seeks to intervene in the federal actions that have swept the region since June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These unconstitutional roundups and raids cannot be allowed to continue,” said Los Angeles City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto. “This cannot become routine, to send militarized troops into our streets without reasonable suspicion, without probable cause, to round people up and take them away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit, first filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups last week, accuses Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agencies of racially profiling people, conducting illegal stops and raids, using disproportionate force, and detaining people in conditions that deny them their constitutional rights.

But one Central Valley resident \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article308882615.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">made the difficult decision\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to leave the country on her own.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Senator Alex Padilla from California is \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.padilla.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/padilla-booker-unveil-new-bill-to-require-immigration-officers-to-display-clear-identification/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">introducing a bill\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to require federal immigration officers to display ID – and show their faces. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Los Angeles city and county leaders say their communities are under siege and they’re \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/politics/los-angeles-and-other-cities-join-lawsuit-against-federal-government-in-response-to-immigration-sweeps\">taking legal action\u003c/a> to stop what they call unconstitutional immigration raids.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>One Woman’s Story Of Immigration And Leaving The U.S. Voluntarily\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Patricia Vázquez Topete moved to the United States when she was 12. \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article308882615.html\">Relocating to the Central Valley town of Sanger\u003c/a>, she came without any immediate family, leaving siblings and her parents behind in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was not feeling very safe in my household. I’m a survivor of sexual abuse. So I was in a way fleeing that unsafe home situation,” Vázquez Topete said. ” And I was also trying to open up economic opportunities as a 12-year-old — coming from a poor family in Mexico and thinking, how would I be able to one day go to college and attain a degree.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vázquez Topete was a beneficiary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. As a DACA recipient, she graduated from Fresno Pacific University in 2015. But she never really had a pathway to citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With President Trump’s second term in office and his promise to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, Vázquez Topete said she thought long and hard about her future in the country. “I think it came down to this point for me. Our DACA program is going up in battle with the Supreme Court every couple of years. Then it goes down to the lower courts,” she said. “I have a work permit. I just sort of became emotionally exhausted of this uncertainty. I want to be able to move across different countries without feeling like I cannot come back to my home.” So in May, she decided to leave the country on her own. She’s in Mexico right now, and will be traveling to Spain for her master’s degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Our dreams exist beyond borders, right? I am reconnecting with my roots in Mexico, rediscovering my country, something I was never able to do before. And I’m on my way to Europe,” she said. “So unless you have that legal pathway upon leaving to the United States, consider other options.

It asks the courts to intervene.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Theme music for the show was composed and performed by Merrill Garbus of tUnE-YArDs.",
