"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

But the bill, \u003ca href=\"https://www.enr.com/articles/60861-senate-committee-advances-budget-with-fast-tracked-nepa-option\">which also would have made changes to the National Environmental Policy Act at the federal level\u003c/a>, would have superseded CEQA, eliminating public input in this process altogether.[aside postID=news_12046061 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/Tahoe1.jpg']“This proposal throws out all of that transparency and all of those checks and balances out the window and gives this administration’s officials the ability to nominate places and then execute these land transfers very quickly,” Crowfoot said. “I don’t know what that would mean if this bill passes, but we are not going quietly in the night. We’re gonna protect public access to these lands at all costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Bishop’s Mayor Kong, her city is a stark example of how the Trump administration’s actions and proposals can — and have — impacted a region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public lands surround Bishop and are home to the many federal employees working on that land — the BLM and Forest Service are the area’s fourth-largest employer — and its economy survives off of tourism to the wild places nearby. Since Trump’s second inauguration, the White House’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12030343/layoffs-have-hit-the-beloved-national-park-service-how-will-it-affect-your-visit\">attempts to lay off thousands of public employees, including National Park Service staffers\u003c/a>, and now its threats to federal lands have all been a major concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The health of a place like Bishop depends on both locals and visitors “keeping a good and close eye on the public lands,” Kong said. ”Selling off the public land would decimate us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Lee’s assertion that selling off this land could address California’s housing crisis, California leaders have \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12007818/newsom-vowed-to-build-housing-on-surplus-state-property-99-of-the-land-will-stay-vacant\">actually proposed a similar move themselves, around state-owned land in the past\u003c/a>. His new version of the bill, unlike the original, specifies that the land must be used “solely for the development of housing or to address any infrastructure and amenities to support local needs associated with housing,” according to \u003cem>The Hill\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Hawkins said its remoteness, fire risk and lack of infrastructure for new housing could make it unsuitable for development regardless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while she acknowledged that Bishop is facing its own housing crisis, “people don’t just move to Bishop to move to Bishop,” said Kong — noting that without the surrounding public lands that define the town, a community like hers may not exist at all. She’s also concerned about how many Forest Service or BLM staff already plan to leave the city after the Trump administration’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/politics/federal-employees-deferred-resignation-offer\">attempt to shrink the federal workforce by firing federal employees en masse.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are we going to need the same amount of housing as we would if those people were here?” she asked. “Our whole entire town is tourism.

If the U.S. is the land of immigrants, California is \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/immigrants-in-california/\">doubly so\u003c/a>. More than a quarter of the state’s population was born abroad, and almost half of California’s children were born to an immigrant parent.

For the past decade, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/immigrants-in-california/\">more immigrants\u003c/a> from Asia have entered California than from Latin America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California’s changing demographics are only part of the reason immigration politics have seen such a radical shift in such a relatively short period of time, said Adrian Pantoja, a political science and Chicano studies professor at \u003ca href=\"https://www.pitzer.edu/\">Pitzer College in Claremont\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not a law of nature that Latinos and other demographic groups with sizable immigrant populations should favor the Democratic Party.

In nine of 12 counties where Latinos are the largest demographic group, support for Trump increased from 4 to 6 percentage points between the last two presidential contests, depending on the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The legacy of Proposition 187\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Three decades after that great California political rupture, the fruits of Prop. 187 are apparent in who holds power in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla is California’s senior U.S. senator. Both chambers of the state Legislature have elected Latino leaders — Assembly \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/legislators/robert-rivas-165041\">Speaker Robert Rivas\u003c/a> of Salinas and Senate President Pro Tem-elect \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/06/california-senate-leadership-limon/\">Monique Limón\u003c/a> of Santa Barbara. In the early 1990s, the count of Latinos in the Legislature bounced around the single digits. Today, there are a combined 42 members in the Democratic and Republican parties’ respective Latino caucuses out of 120 members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That rise in political power has translated to changes in policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law Senate Bill 54, California’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/01/california-sanctuary-state/\">sanctuary state law\u003c/a> that largely bars state and local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. The bill’s author, Kevin de Leon, also \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/11/08/777466912/californias-prop-187-vote-damaged-gop-relations-with-immigrants\">traces his start in politics\u003c/a> to Prop. 187.[aside postID=news_12045198 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/trump-with-executive-order.jpg']More recently, the state has expanded Medi-Cal, the state’s health insurance program for low-income Californians and those with disabilities, to all immigrants without legal status. Newsom signed successive expansions into law starting in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where Prop. 187 was authored to deprive undocumented immigrants of social services, California’s Medi-Cal expansion was its antithesis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The generational impact of that ballot measure was demonstrated in 2010, when immigrants were mobilized to vote and shift the state further to the left.By then, a quarter of the state’s electorate was Latino, said Thad Kousser, a professor of California politics at UC San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Latinos become this voting block that helps deliver the state to Jerry Brown, and then the state becomes Democratic in every single statewide office, in every election” since, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That year, Brown defeated billionaire businesswoman Meg Whitman in an acrimonious gubernatorial race, showcasing California as an outlier in the national red wave and ending a run in which Republicans won the governor’s race six times out of the previous eight elections. Democrats lost no congressional seats in California even as the party was \u003ca href=\"https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/elections/2010/results/house.html\">routed nationally\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2016, the respective leaders of the State Assembly and Senate were Latino, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/making-history-who-are-latinos-leading-california-s-legislature-n577546\">a first in California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not all efforts to reverse the conservatism of the 1990s in California have succeeded. In 2020, a ballot measure to largely reverse the state’s ban on using race, ethnicity or gender as factors in public university admissions and government grant-making \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2020/10/prop-16-affirmative-action-trailing/\">failed to woo voters\u003c/a>. In the state’s population center of Los Angeles County, a majority of Asian voters shot down the proposal while \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/11/us/supreme-court-affirmative-action.html#:~:text=This%20was%20true%20even%20of%20majority%20Black%20precincts%20in%20Los%20Angeles%2C%20which%20supported%20Proposition%2016%20by%20wide%20margins.\">only 55% of Latino voters backed it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And immigrants or their children make up a sizable chunk of the GOP in the state capital. When voters \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-09-06/california-senate-race-its-first-transgender-candidate-vs-first-republican-latina\">in 2020\u003c/a> elected Redlands Republican \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/legislators/rosilicie-ochoa-bogh-165450\">Rosilicie Ochoa-Bogh\u003c/a>, the child of Mexican immigrants, she became the first GOP Latina state senator in California’s history. Today the Republican Senate caucus has at least three members who are immigrants or whose parents were born abroad, according to their public biographies — 30% of the caucus. Before being elected to the Assembly as a Republican, Tri Ta became the first Vietnamese American to \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/lastdays/firstdaysstoryproject/interviews/im-product-community/raw/\">serve as mayor of a U.S. city\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Medi-Cal rollback shifts views\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Recent polling shows the latest wave of Medi-Cal expansions may have gone too far even for California’s immigrant-friendly electorate. A majority of Californians — 58% — oppose health coverage for immigrants without permanent legal status, according to PPIC’s June 2025 survey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other polls show a majority of likely voters still support health insurance for immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This mixed picture emerges as California grapples with a third successive fiscal year of multibillion-dollar deficits and sharply increasing Medi-Cal costs. While those data may indicate softening political support for the boldest of California’s policies aimed at helping undocumented immigrants, it doesn’t spell a political realignment, said Kousser.[aside postID=news_12044637 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/GettyImages-2219434485-2000x1333.jpg']“California moved so far to the left that there’s almost nowhere to go other than the slight counter-reaction,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare of PPIC agreed, saying the Medi-Cal survey results may simply reflect a growing concern about the state’s finances. He noted that Newsom has proposed freezing enrollment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On some other measures affecting immigrants, Democratic lawmakers and Newsom have diverged. Last year the Legislature approved a bill to essentially adopt a novel legal theory to permit public college students without legal authorization in the U.S. to work on their campuses. Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/university-of-california-students-weapons-jobs/\">vetoed the bill\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Anti-ICE protests: A new Prop. 187 moment?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There is some indication that California’s philosophical support for immigrants is, at least in part, accelerated by Trump. The share of respondents who called immigrants a “benefit” in PPIC’s surveys shot up during the first Trump administration and ebbed during Joe Biden’s stint in the White House. The most recent survey, the first since Trump returned to power, saw another spike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has some immigrant rights advocates hoping that the Trump administration’s current sweeping deportation policy will galvanize a new generation of political activists in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether it’s post-Prop. 187 or post-9/11 for middle eastern South Asian communities, at some point you realize that you are being endlessly and inhumanely targeted and if you don’t speak up, and if you don’t practice your First Amendment rights, and if you’re not civically engaged, then you’ll be taken advantage of,” said Masih Fouladi, executive director of the California Immigrant Policy Center. “I think those are really the things that brought people together then, and what are bringing people to the streets now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/020325_Day-Without-Immigrants_JWH_07-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"A person in a green tracksuit holding up a sign saying, “IMMIGRANTS UILT THIS NATION,” while next to a guard railing over a highway in downtown Los Angeles.
