In November 2024, voters repealed parts of the executive tax through Proposition M, a comprehensive business tax reform measure. Chan’s proposal allows other changes made in Prop M to remain intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan would also raise taxes on ride-hailing companies, including Uber, Lyft and Waymo, similar to Proposition L on the November 2024 ballot.

Try and find out if they’re flexible with drop-off and pickup times if work requires flexibility.” — \u003cstrong>Paul \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My number one advice for stay-at-home parents: Gift yourself child care, even just a few hours a week. It will make you a better parent. It might save your marriage. It will certainly help save your sanity. It’s OK to need a break, to take care of yourself, and to have a few hours where you can have more than two consecutive thoughts without interruption.” — \u003cstrong>Monica Vaughan\u003c/strong>, who works part-time and pays $620 a month for 2 days of child care per week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Look for community mutual aid. Finding families who are open to swapping child care, pickups from school, etc., was one of the best things we’ve done to support the sustainability of our family.” — \u003cstrong>Lesley Paige \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Try to get on a day care waitlist the moment you find out you are pregnant — that might help your kid get a spot, but it won’t help with the fact that affordable daycare is not something our society values, and you will have to pay a ton of money to ensure your child is being cared for while you’re at work. Hopefully, we can work to create a world where our children won’t be burdened with day care costs in the same way we are.” — \u003cstrong>Yasmine Mortazavi\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Tell us: How much do you pay for child care?\u003c/h2>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe\n src='https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScXzIe1VspLGIBi0B8oelJqEYifr1IJZxE8U7IVVp4G77wZow/viewform?embedded=true?embedded=true'\n title='https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScXzIe1VspLGIBi0B8oelJqEYifr1IJZxE8U7IVVp4G77wZow/viewform?embedded=true'\n width='760' height='500'\n frameborder='0'\n marginheight='0' marginwidth='0'>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Last week, dozens of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents arrived at a Coast Guard base in Alameda, prompting a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12061436/2-injured-after-officers-shoot-at-truck-outside-alameda-base-following-day-of-protests\">confrontation with protesters\u003c/a>.

Still, immigrant advocates, school leaders and elected officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12055279/oakland-latino-merchants-learn-rights-as-ice-targets-worksites\">urged residents to stay prepared\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alejo and his younger sister, Citlali, also a staffer at the organization, knew their relatives would have a better chance at release if the family worked together.

Two were deported, including a 22-year-old who, the sisters said, didn’t realize the papers he signed sealed his removal to Tijuana.

When it was her turn to speak, Contreras stepped onto a wooden box near a podium and faced a wall of reporters for the first time. The 20-year-old American citizen had rushed to the warehouse in time to see federal agents lead her father and roughly 40 others away the previous Friday. She demanded that immigration authorities respect the workers’ due process rights and release them.[aside postID=news_12055279 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/250903-ICETRAINING_01023_TV-KQED.jpg']“I witnessed how they put my father in handcuffs, chained him from the waist and from his ankles,” said Yurien, speaking into a bouquet of microphones. “We suffered and still suffer from this traumatizing experience emotionally, mentally, and physically…We need our father back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contreras said her father’s absence was particularly hard on her 4-year-old brother, who has special needs and stopped eating and talking for about a week. For the three months her father was detained, Contreras found it difficult to sleep. She ultimately deferred her college enrollment to stay home and support her family full-time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their stories struck a nerve in a city reeling from aggressive immigration sweeps and the arrival of National Guard soldiers, sometimes fully armed, sent by Trump to help federal agents. TV stations and newspapers carried the Alejo family’s story — even into the ICE Processing Center in Adelanto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Contreras’ uncles, uncertain about what would happen to his four U.S.-born children, said another detainee peeked into his cell to tell him his family was on TV. Disbelieving, he hurried to the recreation room but missed the newscast. He waited for the next one at 6 p.m. When he finally saw his eldest daughter on screen, he wondered how his shy 23-year-old had found the strength to speak fearlessly. KQED agreed to grant the man anonymity because of his pending immigration case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It helped me a lot because I saw the support both from my family members and everyone who was there,” the man, who was released from detention in late August, said in Spanish. “It gives you more courage to cope with the case because it can be very exhausting. The psychological anguish eats at you, wears you out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He worked for 15 years in L.A.’s construction and janitorial industries before handling shipping at Ambiance for the last five years. He said it’s been hard to adjust to life after detention, as he’s unable to work while fighting his immigration case. Not knowing whether he will be deported still weighs heavily on him, but he’s grateful to Lucha Zapoteca for legal representation and financial help that keep his children and wife fed and housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Community and strangers step in to help\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One vocal supporter has been the Rev. Jaime Edwards-Acton, rector at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Hollywood, where the family attends services. He got involved early to raise funds and coordinate donations. His parishioners, led by two sisters in their 20s, have delivered weekly boxes of groceries, diapers and household supplies to Alejo’s relatives. The church is expanding efforts to help more Angelenos affected by ICE arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been an amazing kind of outpouring of generosity and a desire to really want to do something, to make a positive contribution to this mess that we find ourselves in right now,” said Edwards-Acton, who also wrote letters supporting the detained Ambiance workers to the immigration court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12055746\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12055746\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/IMG_9847-scaled-e1761671224320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dozens of carwash employees and their family members rallied alongside immigrant rights activists in Los Angeles on Thursday to denounce federal immigration raids at their worksites. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Los Angeles Worker Center Network)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He said the Alejo family’s campaign and the broader community response have inspired him.

He said Contreras’ powerful testimony countered fear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s what kind of really moves people to action. Her courage was really contagious,” he said. “It wasn’t just a testimony of despair. It was a testimony about this tragic moment, but also how we’re fighting for justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contreras, who had a baby in March, spent her time attending court hearings for her father and the other detained relatives while caring for her brothers, mother and her child. Her 17-year-old brother remained withdrawn but kept his grades up. One day, he said he had a new goal — to graduate with honors to make his parents proud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their efforts paid off: Contreras’ father returned home in early September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a lot of hard work, a lot of times where it felt impossible for my dad to be liberated,” Contreras, who hopes to one day become an ultrasound technician, said. “We are super excited that he’s back home.

For the three months her father was detained, Contreras found it difficult to sleep. She ultimately deferred her college enrollment to stay home and support her family full-time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their stories struck a nerve in a city reeling from aggressive immigration sweeps and the arrival of National Guard soldiers, sometimes fully armed, sent by Trump to help federal agents. TV stations and newspapers carried the Alejo family’s story — even into the ICE Processing Center in Adelanto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Contreras’ uncles, uncertain about what would happen to his four U.S.-born children, said another detainee peeked into his cell to tell him his family was on TV. Disbelieving, he hurried to the recreation room but missed the newscast. He waited for the next one at 6 p.m. When he finally saw his eldest daughter on screen, he wondered how his shy 23-year-old had found the strength to speak fearlessly. KQED agreed to grant the man anonymity because of his pending immigration case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It helped me a lot because I saw the support both from my family members and everyone who was there,” the man, who was released from detention in late August, said in Spanish. “It gives you more courage to cope with the case because it can be very exhausting. The psychological anguish eats at you, wears you out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He worked for 15 years in L.A.’s construction and janitorial industries before handling shipping at Ambiance for the last five years. He said it’s been hard to adjust to life after detention, as he’s unable to work while fighting his immigration case. Not knowing whether he will be deported still weighs heavily on him, but he’s grateful to Lucha Zapoteca for legal representation and financial help that keep his children and wife fed and housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Community and strangers step in to help\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One vocal supporter has been the Rev. Jaime Edwards-Acton, rector at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Hollywood, where the family attends services. He got involved early to raise funds and coordinate donations. His parishioners, led by two sisters in their 20s, have delivered weekly boxes of groceries, diapers and household supplies to Alejo’s relatives. The church is expanding efforts to help more Angelenos affected by ICE arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been an amazing kind of outpouring of generosity and a desire to really want to do something, to make a positive contribution to this mess that we find ourselves in right now,” said Edwards-Acton, who also wrote letters supporting the detained Ambiance workers to the immigration court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12055746\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12055746\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/IMG_9847-scaled-e1761671224320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dozens of carwash employees and their family members rallied alongside immigrant rights activists in Los Angeles on Thursday to denounce federal immigration raids at their worksites. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Los Angeles Worker Center Network)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He said the Alejo family’s campaign and the broader community response have inspired him. Edwards-Acton recalled an interfaith vigil at downtown L.A.’s Grand Park, attended by about 1,000 people, where speakers included Mayor Karen Bass and Contreras. He said Contreras’ powerful testimony countered fear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s what kind of really moves people to action. Her courage was really contagious,” he said. “It wasn’t just a testimony of despair. It was a testimony about this tragic moment, but also how we’re fighting for justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contreras, who had a baby in March, spent her time attending court hearings for her father and the other detained relatives while caring for her brothers, mother and her child. Her 17-year-old brother remained withdrawn but kept his grades up. One day, he said he had a new goal — to graduate with honors to make his parents proud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their efforts paid off: Contreras’ father returned home in early September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a lot of hard work, a lot of times where it felt impossible for my dad to be liberated,” Contreras, who hopes to one day become an ultrasound technician, said. “We are super excited that he’s back home. We are thankful for this second opportunity with my dad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys for the Alejo family, who believe their clients were unlawfully targeted, said they face a difficult path to remain in the U.S. The Trump administration recently changed its policies to make detainees who crossed the border illegally \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/bia-ruling-immigration-judges-bond-mandatory-detention-undocumented-immigrants/\">ineligible\u003c/a> for bond.

This, said CDFW officials, means the wolves were responsible for one of the highest concentrations of cattle deaths among the Western states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gray wolves naturally prey on wild ungulates, like deer and elk. However, as the state has changed, so have their tastes, adapting to the new landscape. These particular wolves, the state said, had become conditioned to cattle as a primary food source, a behavior that “persisted and was being passed on to their offspring.”[aside postID=science_1998802 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2025/09/250916_SEAOTTERS_GH-3-KQED.jpg']State officials pursued alternative strategies for months before making the decision. This included “hazing,” or techniques intended to scare wolves off without causing them harm. The U.S. Department of Agriculture sent a team operating drones carrying speakers playing \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/drones-blasting-acdc-are-helping-biologists-protect-cattle-wolves-rcna228262\">AC/DC\u003c/a>, and other loud noises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials sent a “\u003ca href=\"https://wildlife.ca.gov/News/Archive/cdfw-launching-pilot-effort-to-reduce-gray-wolf-attacks-on-livestock\">summer strike team\u003c/a>,” providing ranchers with round-the-clock support. And ranchers locally were “committed,” Roen said, many of them sleeping in their fields all summer, trying to “dissuade and haze wolves out of the livestock.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a shame that it had to only come to that,” Roen said. “Nobody’s happy about what happened, but everybody’s relieved that something was done to help stop the siege that we were living in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wolves are listed as a recovering endangered species, which means it’s illegal to kill them under state and federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with other California predators, like the grizzly bear, wolves were hunted into extirpation during European colonization and settlement of the West. This all changed in December 2011, when a gray wolf named OR-7 crossed into California’s Siskiyou County, the first confirmed wild wolf spotted in the state since 1924.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10780879\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10780879\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/ShastaPackPups.jpg\" alt=\"Several gray wolf pups, dubbed the Shasta Pack, were captured by a remote camera in Siskiyou County this past August.
