For nearly a decade he’s covered how warming temperatures are altering the lives of Californians.

In 1983, the Asian Law Caucus helped overturn the conviction of \u003ca href=\"https://korematsuinstitute.org\">Fred Korematsu\u003c/a>, an Oakland man who refused the U.S. Army’s order to go into an incarceration camp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen this playbook before — using national security as a pretext to target specific communities,” Kohli said. “History shows that harsh immigration policies don’t make us safer or more prosperous. They destabilize communities, hurt local businesses that depend on immigrant workers and divert resources from addressing genuine public safety concerns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, Bonta has been touring the state to spread the word about the state’s “sanctuary laws,” such as the \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB54\">2017 California Values Act\u003c/a>, which limit local law enforcement and public resources from being used to assist the federal government in immigration enforcement.[aside postID=news_12023124 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/DonaldTrumpInaugurationAP-1020x680.jpg']State laws don’t prevent immigration enforcement agencies from operating in California, and the U.S. Border Patrol arrested 78 people in Kern County last week. The incident sparked fear in immigrant communities, and some agricultural workers reportedly stayed away from their jobs for days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Masih Fouladi, executive director of the California Immigrant Policy Center, said his organization is working with other groups to offer “know your rights” workshops to immigrants who may lack legal status. Among other things, he counsels immigrants not to open the door for immigration agents unless they can produce a judicial warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fouladi said he is concerned that Trump’s declaration of a national emergency at the border to mobilize military resources could lead to mistreatment of migrants and violations of their rights, similar to what occurred when the first Trump administration declared a “zero tolerance” policy, which led to migrant children being forcibly separated from their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those types of policies the last time around were so dehumanizing that tore families apart and led to family separation,” he said. “We will be working with local and state elected officials to see how we can make sure that families, at least here in California, are as protected as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Trump rescinded a number of former President Joe Biden’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/initial-rescissions-of-harmful-executive-orders-and-actions/\">executive orders on immigration\u003c/a>, including measures to coordinate with other countries in addressing the causes of migration, reunify separated migrant families and rebuild the refugee resettlement program dismantled during the first Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also signed presidential actions to:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Halt refugee admissions for at least four months.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Prosecute unauthorized immigrants.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Hold more unauthorized immigrants in detention until they are deported.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Terminate Biden-era humanitarian parole protections to certain migrants from countries including Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, as well as those vetted at border appointments scheduled with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/about/mobile-apps-directory/cbpone\">CBP One smartphone app\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Continue the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Designate cartels as terrorist organizations.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” policy of his first term, which required asylum seekers to await their immigration court hearings outside the U.S.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Establish new Homeland Security task forces in every state, with local as well as federal law enforcement participation, a move that would challenge California’s sanctuary laws.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>After a delay, San Francisco is on track to be the first city in California to install automated speed-enforcement cameras, realizing a goal long sought by street safety advocates frustrated by the city’s lack of progress on its long-term goal of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12010882/tragic-sf-pedestrian-death-raises-question-vision-zero-failure\">eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials say the cameras will begin operating on a warning-only basis in mid-March — nearly a year and a half after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB645\">a bill\u003c/a> authorizing the devices in San Francisco, Oakland, San José, Los Angeles, Long Beach and Glendale. All except San Francisco are still in the planning stages for camera deployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s 33 cameras are set to arrive in the wake of the city’s highest traffic death toll in nearly two decades. In 2024, the year San Francisco aimed to eliminate traffic deaths under Vision Zero, 41 people died in vehicle collisions. Twenty-four pedestrians were among those killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spike in fatalities has led to widespread calls for the city to intensify its traffic safety efforts, as activists, the public and some members of the Board of Supervisors chide the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/sfmta\">Municipal Transportation Agency\u003c/a> for falling behind on its ambitious “quick build” program to rapidly improve conditions for people walking and rolling at more than 900 locations across the city by the end of 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About three-fourths of the projects, including improving crosswalks and resetting traffic signals to give pedestrians more time to cross, have been finished, and 15% are in progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a problem when we articulate a public goal and are very clear about it and respond to people who are concerned about whether we can make that goal and over and over again to reassure them that we can — and then don’t,” Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said at the Dec. 17 meeting of the San Francisco County Transportation Authority Board. “That’s something that I think drives our public a little nuts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mandelman asked Shannon Hake, the SFMTA’s Vision Zero program manager, why the cameras are deploying in March after the agency had set a target of February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12019378 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-182664622-1020x535.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are we sure they’re going in March?” he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hake attributed the extended deployment timeline to factors like identifying a contractor to run the system, completing electrical and structural engineering and working out an agreement with the city’s Public Works agency to mount the cameras on light poles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With that work done, Hake said, “I am very, very confident that these will be launching in March.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between now and then, drivers will see signs that the cameras are coming to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/media/38680/download?inline\">the 33 locations\u003c/a> the city has identified as having at least one significant traffic safety risk, including a history of injury collisions or a high incidence of speeding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camera installation and testing are scheduled for February, along with a state-required public information campaign featuring warning signs near camera locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first 60 days after cameras begin operating in March, drivers who exceed posted speed limits in the camera zones by at least 11 mph will receive no-fee warning notices. Citations with penalties ranging from $50 up to $500 will be issued starting in mid-May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The penalty schedule, included in the program’s authorizing legislation:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$50 for driving 11 to 15 mph over the posted speed limit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$100 for driving 16 to 25 mph over the posted speed limit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$200 for driving 26 mph or more over the posted speed limit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$500 for driving at a speed of 100 mph or more.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Under terms of Assembly Bill 645, citations carry civil penalties only, will not be assessed as a DMV penalty point and won’t result in the DMV suspending or revoking a driver’s license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jodie Medeiros, executive director of AB 645 co-sponsor Walk San Francisco, said she’s confident that cameras will be “a game-changer” for traffic safety in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed to Philadelphia, where \u003ca href=\"https://visionzerophl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Automated-Speed-Enforcement-Expansion-Report-05-2024.pdf\">officials say\u003c/a> speed cameras installed along one notoriously dangerous corridor have reduced speeding by 95% at the locations where the devices are present. Fatal and serious injury crashes throughout the corridor fell by 21% after the cameras began operating. Collisions involving pedestrians were cut in half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s exactly the type of results we want to see in San Francisco,” Medeiros said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that while she doesn’t want to see the deployment timeline slip any further, city officials deserve credit for getting cameras up and running before any of the other authorized cities did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is leading the pack in that way, and I think that’s something that we should be proud of,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom signed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB645\">a bill\u003c/a> authorizing the devices in San Francisco, Oakland, San José, Los Angeles, Long Beach and Glendale. All except San Francisco are still in the planning stages for camera deployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s 33 cameras are set to arrive in the wake of the city’s highest traffic death toll in nearly two decades. In 2024, the year San Francisco aimed to eliminate traffic deaths under Vision Zero, 41 people died in vehicle collisions. Twenty-four pedestrians were among those killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spike in fatalities has led to widespread calls for the city to intensify its traffic safety efforts, as activists, the public and some members of the Board of Supervisors chide the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/sfmta\">Municipal Transportation Agency\u003c/a> for falling behind on its ambitious “quick build” program to rapidly improve conditions for people walking and rolling at more than 900 locations across the city by the end of 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Fatal and serious injury crashes throughout the corridor fell by 21% after the cameras began operating. Collisions involving pedestrians were cut in half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s exactly the type of results we want to see in San Francisco,” Medeiros said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that while she doesn’t want to see the deployment timeline slip any further, city officials deserve credit for getting cameras up and running before any of the other authorized cities did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is leading the pack in that way, and I think that’s something that we should be proud of,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
