But Trump told the adoring crowd in the hotel ballroom that he could win if it wasn’t for mail-in ballots. He falsely claimed that some voters are being given multiple ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, the party’s dominant frontrunner, then went on to name-check Democratic state leaders — including Gov. Gavin Newsom and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — as the crowd booed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While California was once a symbol of American success, today, under the radical left fascists and Marxists that run your state — that’s who’s running your state, bad people. It’s becoming a symbol of our nation’s decline,” Trump said, before launching into a litany of purported problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The far left communists in Sacramento, San Francisco and L.A. cities, which are absolutely being destroyed rapidly on a daily basis, have given you sanctuary cities, wide open borders, mass homeless encampments, out-of-control taxes, soaring income inequality like nobody’s ever seen before,” he said. “Marxist district attorneys, woke tech tyrants. They are woke. Rolling blackouts, child sexual mutilation and roving bands of looters, criminals and thugs. But other than that, I think they’re doing quite a good job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He later spoke at length about what he claims is a “man-made drought” in California, and said people in Beverly Hills smell bad because they have to take short showers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>They’re told to hurry up. You’re only allowed a small amount of water when they shower. That’s why rich people from Beverly Hills, generally speaking, don’t smell so good, you know, typically. You ever notice they’re not great, their hygiene is not good, but it’s forced to be that way,” Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He took particular aim at Pelosi, promising to “stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi who ruined San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How’s her husband doing anyway, anybody know?” he said to laughter, referring \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11939421/sf-court-releases-911-call-and-sfpd-body-cam-recordings-of-paul-pelosi-attack\">to the brutal 2022 attack on Paul Pelosi\u003c/a> at their San Francisco home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A host of additional Republican presidential candidates are also scheduled to speak at the state convention this weekend, including South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s remarks come two days after he skipped the second Republican presidential debate and as he \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/trump-charges-jan-6-classified-documents/\">faces 91 felony charges\u003c/a> in four separate cases against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those indictments seem to have cemented Trump’s base of support, not weakened it. In Friday’s speech, he accused Democrats of orchestrating the cases against him and joked that he’s made history with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"forum_2010101893915,news_11842137,news_11962643\"]A UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4fj3k66d\">poll\u003c/a> conducted in August and released earlier this month found 55% of likely California Republican primary voters plan to back Trump, up 11 points from the spring. DeSantis appears to be the main casualty of that surge of support for the former president. The same poll shows the Florida governor’s support falling from 37% in February to just 16% in August, among GOP voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s growing support is even more important because of recent changes the state Republican Party made to the way it awards its delegates at next year’s national convention — changes pushed by the former president’s campaign. Under the new system, any Republican presidential candidate who receives more than 50% support in California’s March primary will lock up all 169 state delegates — the most of any state in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the previous system, used by the state’s GOP for about two decades, three delegates were awarded for each congressional district won in the primary — giving lower-tier GOP candidates more incentive to campaign here but also diluting the state’s influence in helping to pick a nominee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican National Committee Chair Harmeet Dhillon, from California, a staunch Trump ally whose law firm represents his campaign, said the energy around the former president shows that the other Republican candidates should step aside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s time for some of them to call it quits,” she said, adding that Republicans need to unify against Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is really the poster child of what’s wrong with America right now, with our rampant crime and high unaffordable rates of gasoline, food, housing, you name it, and terrible educational system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Trump’s speech was a big draw, the party is not actually taking any action to endorse a presidential candidate at its convention. Instead, the state GOP will consider adopting a new party platform — essentially a statement of principles. Even though most voters don’t even know about party platforms, the process is dividing the party and mirroring national fissures within the GOP over how to handle hot button issues like same-sex marriage and abortion, which has contributed to Republicans’ ballot-box losses — even in conservative states like Kansas and Ohio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the proposal adopted by a California GOP party committee in July, the platform would drop language spelling out opposition to a federally protected right to abortion. Instead, it states “we value protecting innocent life and want to see the number of abortions reduced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed changes also remove language saying the party defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, swapping it out for a more benign statement — that the party supports “traditional family values” and “the family unit as the best environment for raising children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed platform, approved in July, runs four pages, but delegates have submitted over 200 pages worth of changes, which they will debate Saturday in meetings scheduled for the morning and afternoon. Among those opposing the change to the party’s definition of marriage is Dhillon, the RNC chair.\u003c/p>\n\n",

DeSantis appears to be the main casualty of that surge of support for the former president. The same poll shows the Florida governor’s support falling from 37% in February to just 16% in August, among GOP voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s growing support is even more important because of recent changes the state Republican Party made to the way it awards its delegates at next year’s national convention — changes pushed by the former president’s campaign. Under the new system, any Republican presidential candidate who receives more than 50% support in California’s March primary will lock up all 169 state delegates — the most of any state in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the previous system, used by the state’s GOP for about two decades, three delegates were awarded for each congressional district won in the primary — giving lower-tier GOP candidates more incentive to campaign here but also diluting the state’s influence in helping to pick a nominee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican National Committee Chair Harmeet Dhillon, from California, a staunch Trump ally whose law firm represents his campaign, said the energy around the former president shows that the other Republican candidates should step aside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s time for some of them to call it quits,” she said, adding that Republicans need to unify against Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is really the poster child of what’s wrong with America right now, with our rampant crime and high unaffordable rates of gasoline, food, housing, you name it, and terrible educational system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Trump’s speech was a big draw, the party is not actually taking any action to endorse a presidential candidate at its convention. Instead, the state GOP will consider adopting a new party platform — essentially a statement of principles. Even though most voters don’t even know about party platforms, the process is dividing the party and mirroring national fissures within the GOP over how to handle hot button issues like same-sex marriage and abortion, which has contributed to Republicans’ ballot-box losses — even in conservative states like Kansas and Ohio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the proposal adopted by a California GOP party committee in July, the platform would drop language spelling out opposition to a federally protected right to abortion. Instead, it states “we value protecting innocent life and want to see the number of abortions reduced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed changes also remove language saying the party defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, swapping it out for a more benign statement — that the party supports “traditional family values” and “the family unit as the best environment for raising children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed platform, approved in July, runs four pages, but delegates have submitted over 200 pages worth of changes, which they will debate Saturday in meetings scheduled for the morning and afternoon. Among those opposing the change to the party’s definition of marriage is Dhillon, the RNC chair.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Previously, the California GOP primary amounted to dozens of separate races on a single day — one in each congressional district across the sprawling state, and then one statewide.

Most new voters are Democrats or left-leaning independents. Democrats hold every statewide office and dominate the Legislature and the congressional delegation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Republican Party has been in decline for years, and GOP voters account for just 23.8% of the statewide total, slightly ahead of independents. Infighting between conservatives and moderates persists, and dueling factions are expected to brawl at the state party convention over a proposed rewrite of the party platform, moving it toward the political center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last Republican to win a presidential contest in California was George H.W. Bush, in 1988.

The vastness of the state, home to nearly 1-in-8 Americans, makes it hard to get to all the regions. The \u003ca href=\"https://bakersfieldnow.com/amp/news/local/once-forgotten-a-california-primary-could-sway-2016-contest\">previous guidelines\u003c/a> encouraged candidates to target specific districts — now, one candidate can collect them all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The effect of the change has been to effectively terminate the Republican primary in California,” said conservative activist Jon Fleishman, a former executive director of the state GOP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state party — strongly influenced by House Speaker \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/apnews.com/hub/kevin-mccarthy\">Kevin McCarthy\u003c/a> of Bakersfield, a Trump loyalist — “shifted everything to help Donald Trump,” Fleishman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a sign of the fallout, a super PAC supporting Florida Gov. \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/ron-desantis\">Ron DeSantis\u003c/a>, Never Back Down, recently curtailed operations in California. The committee says it had knocked on over 100,000 doors over several months but has shifted its focus elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Trump team came in to rig the rules in their favor,” Ken Cuccinelli, who was deputy secretary of Homeland Security during the Trump administration and founded the PAC, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Local News to Keep You Rooted. Nancy Pelosi has represented San Francisco in Congress since before I was even born. And everyone knows who she is. She’s a leader of the Democratic Party. Speaker of the House and Republicans most favorite punching bag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Political Ad Montage: \u003c/strong>First, Nancy Pelosi said she’d raise taxes. Now she’s coming for whatever you’ve got left to help pay for trillions in Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, they run Washington completely. A rubber stamp for Nancy Pelosi’s disastrous economics…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>On Friday, Pelosi announced plans to run to represent San Francisco in Congress for a 20th term. And it’s coming at a time when lots of people want to see some fresh, new leadership in politics. Today, the local and national impact of Pelosi’s decision to run again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa, I know people have been speculating about whether Nancy Pelosi would retire, as we were just talking about. She’s 83 years old. What did she say about why she’s staying in the game?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I would say she sort of couched this in both local and kind of national terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa Lagos is a political correspondent for KQED and co-host of the Political Breakdown podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She talked about San Francisco values and her desire to kind of help the city with the big challenges it’s facing around the fentanyl crisis, around homelessness and housing. But then she also gave a nod to the kind of bigger forces at play here, democracy being at risk, really wanting to, I think, help, you know, Democrats win not just the House back, but keep the White House in 2024. You know, she spoke on MSNBC pretty soon after making this announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>So I am motivated to do everything I can to win this election. I think it’s urgent for our democracy, for our relationships worldwide, and more importantly, for every kitchen table discussion in our country about America’s working families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So that’s sort of what she says officially. But what’s your sort of take on it? Why is she really running again right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>You know, Ericka, I’ve tried to get inside Nancy Pelosi’s head, and I think I have some ideas just from talking to folks around her. I think one is that she is still on top of her game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>When you compare the way she’s operating to somebody, you know, like Dianne Feinstein, who’s had so much attention on her health, Pelosi has had, as far as we know, zero health problems. She’s super sharp. I think she’s kind of enjoying herself. She’s been a little bit unshackled. Now that she’s not the leader of the Democratic caucus. She can kind of speak her mind. And and I think probably it’s an easier and more fun job. It’s probably also really hard to step back and take yourself out of being in the mix and being so relevant. Right. She’s been doing this for basically most of my lifetime, and I think that that’s a hard thing to give up. And then I do think that there’s a lot of truth to this idea that she feels like this is a moment where she’s needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>If you see the actions of the Republicans in Congress, you know that we have to win the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>You see this kind of similar vibe between her and Joe Biden, which is I think they see Donald Trump and the current Republican Party as such a threat. I think they feel like this is not the time for somebody with that level of experience, fundraising, prowess, all those things to kind of disappear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I don’t want to see any underutilized resources, any wasted time or any regrets the day after the election that we all didn’t do everything in our power to protect and defend, to make sure that our flag is still there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I also think that to some extent, the attack on her husband, that horrible attack on Paul Pelosi, kind of strengthened her resolve as well and made her want to stay in the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. I mean, I was going to ask you about that because I remember seeing that and thinking like, geez, like why would anyone of her stature want to remain in the spotlight after something like that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Right. I mean, any attack would have been horrific. But this man broke into their home in the middle of the night looking for her. And I agree with you. I think normal people would say, oh, maybe I’m done. Politicians aren’t normal people. Let’s be real. Right. And I think and I do think for her, she has this history of being this punching bag for the right. And the way she’s always handled it is not to kind of shrink back from that. It’s to kind of rise to that occasion. It made her feel like, no, I’m not going to back down. Like, I’m not going to be bullied. I think as a woman of her age and generation and all the barriers she’s broken, like you can see how she’s often sort of run towards a challenge. And I think that this sort of tracks with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And I mean, she’s probably going to win again, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I mean, she won with 84% of the vote last time, so I’m guessing it’ll be a walk in the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, let’s talk about the local reaction to this news, Marisa. How would you characterize the general mood around Nancy Pelosi’s decision to run for Congress again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I think among the general public, it’s a kind of mixed bag. I do think people are seeing her in the context of the Dianne Feinstein and Mitch McConnell’s and Joe Biden’s of the world, who, you know, polls show people feel like it’s time for them to move on. And so when you talk about a new generation of leadership, even if Pelosi is super energetic, I think it’s hard for a lot of people, especially on the younger side, to not see this as just another delay of this long, drawn out changing of the guard. She promised in 2018 that she would step aside as leader. So this is not like a new conversation. So I think what I’m hearing kind of in the more general public is some frustration. That said, again, I think most of those people will still vote for her come next November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, what about the political class? How are people reacting locally to Pelosi’s decision to run again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>So publicly, almost universally positive. I actually went on Friday to an Emily’s List lunch. This is a progressive women’s group that helps fund, raise and kind of seed campaigns. And I talked to Lateefah Simon, who is currently a bar board member and is running for Barbara Lee’s seat in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>You know, I’m going to be in Congress soon, and I need the Maxine Waters, the Representative Clyburn, the Nancy Pelosi. It’s going to lead us to this next stage of battling to get some of the most basic rights for women back to security is on the line. The attack on trans kids. I mean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Lateefah is, you know, in her forties, young black woman, I think sort of part of this new generation of leadership and super progressive. And she, I think it’s fair to say, seemed pretty stoked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>About what a thrill to be able to be a phone call away, a couple of desks away from women who have fought and won huge victories for families. It’s exciting and it would be an honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Did anyone voice concern publicly about Pelosi’s decision to run again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>So I think, again, a lot of people are not eager to kind of say anything very publicly negative about Pelosi. I did, however, talk to Aimee Allison. She runs she the People, which is really dedicated to get women of color specifically into public office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>For those of us who want to see a new generation of leaders, it’s hard. 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Amy was circumspect. It’s not as if she was negative per se, but she did call it kind of disappointing. You know, talking about the desire to see this handing of the baton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>We do need a new generation of leadership that looks like who lives in California, in the country. And that’s going to require people in their eighties to make space. And I’m not saying anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She probably speaks for a lot of people who, again, are not mad at Pelosi specifically, but are just frustrated by the broader political landscape right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>We can’t have in San Francisco or the Bay Area or anywhere in California, frankly, we can’t have the kind of generational leadership that continues on and on. Not only is it not possible, but it’s not a winning formula. So what I hope is that next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, I know that in the meantime, there are some people who are sort of left waiting in the wings, maybe waiting for Pelosi to retire so that they could get their chance. So who are some of the younger folks locally who have been eyeing her seat?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I would say the two names that come up are State Senator Scott Wiener from San Francisco. Previous member of the Board of Supervisors has been a big leader on transit and transportation and housing and LGBT issues in Sacramento. He has made very clear that he does intend to run when Pelosi steps down and did say immediately on Friday that since she is running again, he’ll run for his seat again in the state Senate. The other big name is one that you might find familiar, Christine Pelosi, one of Nancy Pelosi’s children. She’s an activist in local Democratic politics, has been really out there on the MeToo movement. And she’s served on the Democratic Party here locally for many years as a lawyer and I think obviously is hopeful that her name might give her a little bit of a leg up. What’s fascinating to me is the kind of political dominoes, Game of Thrones, however you want to call it, that any sort of seat like this would create. So if Scott Weiner ran for Congress, Assembly member Matt Haney is thought to want to run for his Senate seat. San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandel man is thought to want to run for Haney’s seat. So you have, I think, her decision impacting not just the folks that are eyeing that congressional district, but everybody else who’s kind of waiting to see this stuff open up. And I think that that’s why we’ve seen in San Francisco in recent years some really brutal kind of Democrat on Democrat races. It’s because in some ways, a lot of these seats have not opened open in so long. These folks have been waiting already and this just delays it even further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, this question of whether it’s time. Pelosi has been in office for more than 35 years. I mean, is that too long for someone to be in office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>It’s a good question. I was six when she was first elected to Congress, so I now have two children older than that. So, you know, it’s it’s been a minute. It’s a long time. And I think that this is why you do hear some conversations about the question of, you know, age limits or some sort of term limits in Congress. But I do think that it’s an open question. And I think a lot of people are looking at somebody like her and wondering that same thing and kind of asking not just is it time for a new leadership, but like can people be effective after that long in office? But I have never seen a legitimate attempt in my time covering politics the last couple of decades to actually rein that in or do anything about it. Right. I feel like we’re talking about it now, but I haven’t seen anything concrete to actually sort of start that process and.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa, Nancy Pelosi is this very national figure, but she has also represented San Francisco all this time. What are some of the big political winds of her career that have been felt here in the bay and in San Francisco in particular? Like what’s her local impact been over the years?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I mean, I will start with one that’s national but impacts all of us, which is the Affordable Care Act. That really was her crowning legislative achievement. Obviously, President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden deserve a lot of credit for that, but she really shepherded that through the Congress. But on the local level, I would say it’s the cheddar, baby. I mean, she brings home the money for the Bay Area. You know, if you look at our big infrastructure projects, transit, all of that sort of thing has been a big player. I think the most visible and sort of concrete thing you can look at is the Presidio. That would not exist as a national park if it were not for Nancy Pelosi. The federal government wanted to essentially sell it off to developers, and she stepped in and brokered this deal that said, look, it’ll become a national park, but it has to become self-sufficient. As you probably know, if you’ve been to the tunnel, top parks like it is continued to grow and really is one of the city’s crown jewels. And I’m looking back in time and I think this is something people in our generation might not even know or have forgotten is what a leader she was around the AIDS HIV crisis when she got to Congress. This was not an issue that most people in Washington, D.C. wanted to talk about. And despite her kind of Catholic background and the fact that she’s this like comes off to some people is so like establishment. She was a real leader in that and was very vocal from the minute she got to D.C. And so I do think that the LGBT community still really looks at her as a trailblazer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, I do think it is interesting that she was sort of this trailblazer when she first entered Congress, but now she really is sort of seen as someone who is very much part of the establishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She is part of the establishment. Like you can’t deny that regardless of whether she’s a pretty progressive member of the establishment or not. So I do think there’s times that she is not always in lockstep with the pulse of the city, per se. I mean, clearly, she is part of the establishment that has presided over the city for the past few decades as a lot of the problems she’s talking about trying to solve have gotten worse. That said, I think until this term, she’s kind of had the luxury of staying out of a lot of local issues, not that she hasn’t been involved again, behind closed doors, but you have not seen her out there being a pundit on a lot of the San Francisco debates over the past couple of decades. I think that’s probably largely because of her role as speaker and minority leader. You know, when you are representing a caucus of over 200 people from very diverse districts. You don’t get to be the San Francisco liberal all the time. Right? Like, you have to kind of look at things through the lens of how do I keep this group together? How do we win? It’s been kind of interesting to see her over the past year, get a little more involved, be a little more willing to weigh in on some of the local stuff. I mean, there’s certainly critics of her and her wealth and the money her husband has made and questions about that. But I do think a lot of those questions have been raised by people who already don’t agree with her politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>How do you think having a representative who is this like big national figure, how how do you think that’s different from having a congressperson to represent you who’s maybe like not as well known? I mean, I feel like no one really thinks of her as like just this representative from San Francisco. Right. Like, she’s Nancy Pelosi. Like not everyone has a congressperson to represent them who’s as famous as her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>No. Thank God, because there’s 435 of them. Right. We don’t have time to talk, I think in ways probably unseen to most of us. It matters even when Pelosi is not in the majority. I mean, Joe Biden’s going to take her phone call. She has a lot of power and just the longevity that exist when you’re in Washington for that long and, you know the people at the agencies and you know who to call and you have seniority within your caucus. Certainly when Nancy Pelosi steps down, it’s going to change the dynamic for San Francisco. There is a changing of the guard happening, and there’s going to be ways that that’s probably super great and exciting for people. And there might be ways that it makes things a little more challenging to advocate for resources or for power on committees. We are going to be in the next, let’s say, five years entering a place where we have two fairly junior senators from California and a lot of turnover within the congressional delegation. So it’ll be fascinating to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa, thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>My pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>That was Marisa Lagos, a political correspondent for KQED and co-host of the Political Breakdown podcast, which you can find wherever you are listening to the Bay.

Local News to Keep You Rooted. Nancy Pelosi has represented San Francisco in Congress since before I was even born. And everyone knows who she is. She’s a leader of the Democratic Party. Speaker of the House and Republicans most favorite punching bag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Political Ad Montage: \u003c/strong>First, Nancy Pelosi said she’d raise taxes. Now she’s coming for whatever you’ve got left to help pay for trillions in Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, they run Washington completely. A rubber stamp for Nancy Pelosi’s disastrous economics…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>On Friday, Pelosi announced plans to run to represent San Francisco in Congress for a 20th term. And it’s coming at a time when lots of people want to see some fresh, new leadership in politics. Today, the local and national impact of Pelosi’s decision to run again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa, I know people have been speculating about whether Nancy Pelosi would retire, as we were just talking about. She’s 83 years old. What did she say about why she’s staying in the game?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I would say she sort of couched this in both local and kind of national terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa Lagos is a political correspondent for KQED and co-host of the Political Breakdown podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She talked about San Francisco values and her desire to kind of help the city with the big challenges it’s facing around the fentanyl crisis, around homelessness and housing. But then she also gave a nod to the kind of bigger forces at play here, democracy being at risk, really wanting to, I think, help, you know, Democrats win not just the House back, but keep the White House in 2024. You know, she spoke on MSNBC pretty soon after making this announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>So I am motivated to do everything I can to win this election. I think it’s urgent for our democracy, for our relationships worldwide, and more importantly, for every kitchen table discussion in our country about America’s working families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So that’s sort of what she says officially. But what’s your sort of take on it? Why is she really running again right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>You know, Ericka, I’ve tried to get inside Nancy Pelosi’s head, and I think I have some ideas just from talking to folks around her. I think one is that she is still on top of her game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>When you compare the way she’s operating to somebody, you know, like Dianne Feinstein, who’s had so much attention on her health, Pelosi has had, as far as we know, zero health problems. She’s super sharp. I think she’s kind of enjoying herself. She’s been a little bit unshackled. Now that she’s not the leader of the Democratic caucus. She can kind of speak her mind. And and I think probably it’s an easier and more fun job. It’s probably also really hard to step back and take yourself out of being in the mix and being so relevant. Right. She’s been doing this for basically most of my lifetime, and I think that that’s a hard thing to give up. And then I do think that there’s a lot of truth to this idea that she feels like this is a moment where she’s needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>If you see the actions of the Republicans in Congress, you know that we have to win the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>You see this kind of similar vibe between her and Joe Biden, which is I think they see Donald Trump and the current Republican Party as such a threat. I think they feel like this is not the time for somebody with that level of experience, fundraising, prowess, all those things to kind of disappear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I don’t want to see any underutilized resources, any wasted time or any regrets the day after the election that we all didn’t do everything in our power to protect and defend, to make sure that our flag is still there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I also think that to some extent, the attack on her husband, that horrible attack on Paul Pelosi, kind of strengthened her resolve as well and made her want to stay in the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. I mean, I was going to ask you about that because I remember seeing that and thinking like, geez, like why would anyone of her stature want to remain in the spotlight after something like that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Right. I mean, any attack would have been horrific. But this man broke into their home in the middle of the night looking for her. And I agree with you. I think normal people would say, oh, maybe I’m done. Politicians aren’t normal people. Let’s be real. Right. And I think and I do think for her, she has this history of being this punching bag for the right. And the way she’s always handled it is not to kind of shrink back from that. It’s to kind of rise to that occasion. It made her feel like, no, I’m not going to back down. Like, I’m not going to be bullied. I think as a woman of her age and generation and all the barriers she’s broken, like you can see how she’s often sort of run towards a challenge. And I think that this sort of tracks with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And I mean, she’s probably going to win again, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I mean, she won with 84% of the vote last time, so I’m guessing it’ll be a walk in the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, let’s talk about the local reaction to this news, Marisa. How would you characterize the general mood around Nancy Pelosi’s decision to run for Congress again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I think among the general public, it’s a kind of mixed bag. I do think people are seeing her in the context of the Dianne Feinstein and Mitch McConnell’s and Joe Biden’s of the world, who, you know, polls show people feel like it’s time for them to move on. And so when you talk about a new generation of leadership, even if Pelosi is super energetic, I think it’s hard for a lot of people, especially on the younger side, to not see this as just another delay of this long, drawn out changing of the guard. She promised in 2018 that she would step aside as leader. So this is not like a new conversation. So I think what I’m hearing kind of in the more general public is some frustration. That said, again, I think most of those people will still vote for her come next November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, what about the political class? How are people reacting locally to Pelosi’s decision to run again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>So publicly, almost universally positive. I actually went on Friday to an Emily’s List lunch. This is a progressive women’s group that helps fund, raise and kind of seed campaigns. And I talked to Lateefah Simon, who is currently a bar board member and is running for Barbara Lee’s seat in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>You know, I’m going to be in Congress soon, and I need the Maxine Waters, the Representative Clyburn, the Nancy Pelosi. It’s going to lead us to this next stage of battling to get some of the most basic rights for women back to security is on the line. The attack on trans kids. I mean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Lateefah is, you know, in her forties, young black woman, I think sort of part of this new generation of leadership and super progressive. And she, I think it’s fair to say, seemed pretty stoked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>About what a thrill to be able to be a phone call away, a couple of desks away from women who have fought and won huge victories for families. It’s exciting and it would be an honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Did anyone voice concern publicly about Pelosi’s decision to run again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>So I think, again, a lot of people are not eager to kind of say anything very publicly negative about Pelosi. I did, however, talk to Aimee Allison. She runs she the People, which is really dedicated to get women of color specifically into public office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>For those of us who want to see a new generation of leaders, it’s hard. 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Amy was circumspect. It’s not as if she was negative per se, but she did call it kind of disappointing. You know, talking about the desire to see this handing of the baton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>We do need a new generation of leadership that looks like who lives in California, in the country. And that’s going to require people in their eighties to make space. And I’m not saying anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She probably speaks for a lot of people who, again, are not mad at Pelosi specifically, but are just frustrated by the broader political landscape right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>We can’t have in San Francisco or the Bay Area or anywhere in California, frankly, we can’t have the kind of generational leadership that continues on and on. Not only is it not possible, but it’s not a winning formula. So what I hope is that next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, I know that in the meantime, there are some people who are sort of left waiting in the wings, maybe waiting for Pelosi to retire so that they could get their chance. So who are some of the younger folks locally who have been eyeing her seat?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I would say the two names that come up are State Senator Scott Wiener from San Francisco. Previous member of the Board of Supervisors has been a big leader on transit and transportation and housing and LGBT issues in Sacramento. He has made very clear that he does intend to run when Pelosi steps down and did say immediately on Friday that since she is running again, he’ll run for his seat again in the state Senate. The other big name is one that you might find familiar, Christine Pelosi, one of Nancy Pelosi’s children. She’s an activist in local Democratic politics, has been really out there on the MeToo movement. And she’s served on the Democratic Party here locally for many years as a lawyer and I think obviously is hopeful that her name might give her a little bit of a leg up. What’s fascinating to me is the kind of political dominoes, Game of Thrones, however you want to call it, that any sort of seat like this would create. So if Scott Weiner ran for Congress, Assembly member Matt Haney is thought to want to run for his Senate seat. San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandel man is thought to want to run for Haney’s seat. So you have, I think, her decision impacting not just the folks that are eyeing that congressional district, but everybody else who’s kind of waiting to see this stuff open up. And I think that that’s why we’ve seen in San Francisco in recent years some really brutal kind of Democrat on Democrat races. It’s because in some ways, a lot of these seats have not opened open in so long. These folks have been waiting already and this just delays it even further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, this question of whether it’s time. Pelosi has been in office for more than 35 years. I mean, is that too long for someone to be in office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>It’s a good question. I was six when she was first elected to Congress, so I now have two children older than that. So, you know, it’s it’s been a minute. It’s a long time. And I think that this is why you do hear some conversations about the question of, you know, age limits or some sort of term limits in Congress. But I do think that it’s an open question. And I think a lot of people are looking at somebody like her and wondering that same thing and kind of asking not just is it time for a new leadership, but like can people be effective after that long in office? But I have never seen a legitimate attempt in my time covering politics the last couple of decades to actually rein that in or do anything about it. Right. I feel like we’re talking about it now, but I haven’t seen anything concrete to actually sort of start that process and.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa, Nancy Pelosi is this very national figure, but she has also represented San Francisco all this time. What are some of the big political winds of her career that have been felt here in the bay and in San Francisco in particular? Like what’s her local impact been over the years?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I mean, I will start with one that’s national but impacts all of us, which is the Affordable Care Act. That really was her crowning legislative achievement. Obviously, President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden deserve a lot of credit for that, but she really shepherded that through the Congress. But on the local level, I would say it’s the cheddar, baby. I mean, she brings home the money for the Bay Area. You know, if you look at our big infrastructure projects, transit, all of that sort of thing has been a big player. I think the most visible and sort of concrete thing you can look at is the Presidio. That would not exist as a national park if it were not for Nancy Pelosi. The federal government wanted to essentially sell it off to developers, and she stepped in and brokered this deal that said, look, it’ll become a national park, but it has to become self-sufficient. As you probably know, if you’ve been to the tunnel, top parks like it is continued to grow and really is one of the city’s crown jewels. And I’m looking back in time and I think this is something people in our generation might not even know or have forgotten is what a leader she was around the AIDS HIV crisis when she got to Congress. This was not an issue that most people in Washington, D.C. wanted to talk about. And despite her kind of Catholic background and the fact that she’s this like comes off to some people is so like establishment. She was a real leader in that and was very vocal from the minute she got to D.C. And so I do think that the LGBT community still really looks at her as a trailblazer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, I do think it is interesting that she was sort of this trailblazer when she first entered Congress, but now she really is sort of seen as someone who is very much part of the establishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She is part of the establishment. Like you can’t deny that regardless of whether she’s a pretty progressive member of the establishment or not. So I do think there’s times that she is not always in lockstep with the pulse of the city, per se. I mean, clearly, she is part of the establishment that has presided over the city for the past few decades as a lot of the problems she’s talking about trying to solve have gotten worse. That said, I think until this term, she’s kind of had the luxury of staying out of a lot of local issues, not that she hasn’t been involved again, behind closed doors, but you have not seen her out there being a pundit on a lot of the San Francisco debates over the past couple of decades. I think that’s probably largely because of her role as speaker and minority leader. You know, when you are representing a caucus of over 200 people from very diverse districts. You don’t get to be the San Francisco liberal all the time. Right? Like, you have to kind of look at things through the lens of how do I keep this group together? How do we win? It’s been kind of interesting to see her over the past year, get a little more involved, be a little more willing to weigh in on some of the local stuff. I mean, there’s certainly critics of her and her wealth and the money her husband has made and questions about that. But I do think a lot of those questions have been raised by people who already don’t agree with her politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>How do you think having a representative who is this like big national figure, how how do you think that’s different from having a congressperson to represent you who’s maybe like not as well known? I mean, I feel like no one really thinks of her as like just this representative from San Francisco. Right. Like, she’s Nancy Pelosi. Like not everyone has a congressperson to represent them who’s as famous as her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>No. Thank God, because there’s 435 of them. Right. We don’t have time to talk, I think in ways probably unseen to most of us. It matters even when Pelosi is not in the majority. I mean, Joe Biden’s going to take her phone call. She has a lot of power and just the longevity that exist when you’re in Washington for that long and, you know the people at the agencies and you know who to call and you have seniority within your caucus. Certainly when Nancy Pelosi steps down, it’s going to change the dynamic for San Francisco. There is a changing of the guard happening, and there’s going to be ways that that’s probably super great and exciting for people. And there might be ways that it makes things a little more challenging to advocate for resources or for power on committees.

People caught entering the country illegally — even those with an asylum claim — face swift deportation and a five-year bar to reentry, unless they can show they were turned down for asylum in another country on the way here, or unless they face an acute medical emergency or an imminent threat to their safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To further reduce the number of people waiting at the border, the government is granting \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/CHNV\">up to 30,000 people a month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela\u003c/a> a two-year humanitarian parole — similar to programs for Ukrainians and Afghans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s too soon to tell whether these policies will reduce illegal border crossings.

There they can rest for a couple of days and get a health screening, legal orientation and help with travel arrangements to their destinations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After three years in which Title 42 gave asylum seekers no way to cross the border legally, the new system is safe, humane and orderly, said Kate Clark, who runs the immigration program at Jewish Family Service.[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Kate Clark, senior director of immigration services, Jewish Family Service\"]‘I think that there has been significant progress and we have some more work to do.’[/pullquote]“I am absolutely supportive of the port of entry processing,” said Clark. “Also I’m very keenly aware of the challenges that non-citizens in very vulnerable circumstances are having in getting appointments… I think that there has been significant progress and we have some more work to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/documents/complaint-east-bay-sanctuary-covenant-v-biden\">a federal lawsuit filed by the East Bay Sanctuary Covenant and other immigrant advocacy groups\u003c/a> charged that the administration’s rule violates U.S. immigration law — which says\u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1158\"> anyone on U.S. soil may request asylum\u003c/a>, regardless of how they entered the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late last month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/07/25/1189794196/asylum-border-migrants-judge-cbpone-justice-department\">U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in Oakland agreed\u003c/a>.

Although Trump has derided him as “deranged” and suggested that he is politically motivated, Smith’s past experience includes overseeing significant prosecutions against high-profile Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department’s investigation into the efforts to overturn the 2020 election began well before Smith’s appointment, proceeding alongside separate criminal probes into the Jan. 6 rioters themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 1,000 people have been charged in connection with the insurrection, including some with seditious conspiracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), also a member of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, told KQED that Tuesday’s indictment closely tracked with his committees’s work, and the evidence that emerged in hearings and in its final report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The work had a huge influence on the actions of the Justice Department,” he said. “And it may very well be the Justice Department may not have reached this point of indicting the former president in the absence of our committee’s work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff went on to stress the momentousness of the indictment, and the risks it poses to an already extremely politically polarized nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the only thing worse, more dangerous than charging a candidate for president or former president is not charging them when they’ve committed a crime,” he said. “And so this is a necessary part of our democracy.

Waiting anxiously were his wife and their four children, bearing red, white and blue balloons and a handmade sign with the words, “Bienvenido a casa José” and “1,366” — the number of days Ruiz Arévalos was gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he got off the bus, his four children rushed forward to hug him, holding on as long as they could.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once I saw him on the bus, I was like, ‘Wow, this is real,’” said Elena Gutiérrez Ramírez, 22. “Everything I hoped that would happen, it happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11944386\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Ruiz1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11944386\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Ruiz1-800x453.jpg\" alt=\"A man hugs two girls who are holding balloons near a bus with two other people watching and holding a sign.\" width=\"800\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Ruiz1-800x453.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Ruiz1-1020x578.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Ruiz1-160x91.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/Ruiz1.jpg 1461w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">José Luis Ruiz Arévalos hugs his kids after arriving in Los Banos. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Armanda Ruiz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Erin Quinn, senior staff attorney, Immigrant Legal Resource Center\"]‘This really shows the harsh realities for families that are separated and the real tangible impact it has, from education to moving forward with life to economic stability.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz Arévalos missed four of the children’s graduations while he was gone. The youngest, Priscila Ruiz Ramírez, 13, graduated from elementary school. Nathan Gutiérrez Ramírez, 20, and Ignacio Gutiérrez Ramírez, 19, graduated from high school. Elena graduated from community college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Priscila, now in seventh grade, heard he was coming back, the first thing she said was, “Papi, I want you to come to my graduation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz Arévalos met his wife when her three oldest children were 8, 6 and 5 years old, and he has helped raise them ever since. They later had another daughter together, Priscila.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz, who is a U.S. citizen, applied for a green card for her husband. Ruiz Arévalos had been living in the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant since he was 17. He went to Mexico in May 2019 for the last step in his application, an interview at the U.S. Consulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before he left, he had already cleared one hurdle. People who crossed the border without papers and then lived here for more than a year can’t get a green card easily, even if they are married to a U.S. citizen. They can be banned from the country for 10 years unless they can get a waiver by proving that being forced to stay outside the U.S. would cause “extreme hardship” for a U.S. citizen spouse or parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved the waiver for Ruiz Arévalos. He and his wife had argued that it would be an extreme hardship for her to care alone for their four children, especially Priscila, who was born prematurely, has developmental delays and requires continuous medical care, including speech, occupational and physical therapy. In addition, Nathan suffered from severe depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before Ruiz Arévalos’ appointment at the consulate, the Trump administration had changed the rules for something called the “public charge” policy. Under the Trump administration, consulate officers had begun asking whether an applicant’s family members, including U.S. citizens, had ever used public benefits, including food stamps and Medicaid. While Ruiz Arévalos had never used benefits, his youngest daughter, Priscila, has received Supplemental Security Income — provided to lower-income disabled people — since she was born. All the children have used food stamps and Medi-Cal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before President Donald Trump changed the “public charge” policy, benefits used by U.S. citizen children wouldn’t have counted against Ruiz Arévalos, and having a fiscal sponsor — a friend who agreed to support him if needed — would have been enough proof he wouldn’t become a burden on the government. But under the new policy, the consulate officers told Ruiz Arévalos he was ineligible for a green card because he was likely to become a “public charge,” dependent on the government. They said he would need another sponsor, preferably a relative, but instead of waiting for him to turn in the new paperwork, they canceled his application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between Oct. 1, 2018, and Sept. 30, 2019, \u003ca href=\"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-statistics/annual-reports/report-of-the-visa-office-2019.html\">consulate officials refused almost 21,000 people\u003c/a> applying for immigrant visas based on the revised public charge policy. Under the prior policy, only about 3,000 people a year had been denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/cspq1/3/\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 2021, under President Joe Biden, the State Department restored the public charge policy in place before 2018: Non-cash benefits like Medicaid and food stamps cannot be counted against a green card applicant, nor can any benefits used by children or other relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that summer Ruiz Arévalos applied again. The process, which used to take a few months, now takes more than a year, due to backlogs that were aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Armanda Ruiz appealed to as many elected officials as she could, including meeting with Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s staff in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2022, Ruiz Arévalos finally received another waiver and then an appointment at the U.S. Consulate for a second green card interview in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he entered the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez for his second green card interview, Ruiz Arévalos wasn’t sure what to expect.[aside postID=\"forum_2010101892520,news_11942414,news_11937017\" label=\"Related Posts\"]“I was scared they would come up with something I wasn’t expecting again, and it would be delayed again,” Ruiz Arévalos said in Spanish. “My wife told me, ‘It’s set.’ But I told her, no, not until I’m at the border will I be able to say it’s over. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When his passport arrived in the mail a few weeks later, he stared in shock. There, pasted into the passport was the proof that he had permanent residency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first thing he did was go buy a bus ticket to Los Banos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His return brings relief especially to Elena, who dropped out of college after freshman year so she could work to help provide for her younger siblings. She joined the Army Reserve and worked part time as a cashier and at a tomato-packing plant while continuing to take classes part time at community college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Ruiz Arévalos had been able to come back in 2019, Elena would likely have graduated from UC Merced last year. Instead, she earned an associate degree at Merced College. She’s been putting off continuing her studies at a four-year college. Now that her dad is back, she’s finally considering studying for a bachelor’s degree in communications or Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To me it’s like, now I don’t have to stress out this year and be like, OK, let’s just jump into law enforcement, let’s just jump into construction,” said Elena. “Now I can slow down, think about what I like before I jump in. Because honestly, I was panicking.

The youngest, Priscila Ruiz Ramírez, 13, graduated from elementary school. Nathan Gutiérrez Ramírez, 20, and Ignacio Gutiérrez Ramírez, 19, graduated from high school. Elena graduated from community college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Priscila, now in seventh grade, heard he was coming back, the first thing she said was, “Papi, I want you to come to my graduation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz Arévalos met his wife when her three oldest children were 8, 6 and 5 years old, and he has helped raise them ever since. They later had another daughter together, Priscila.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz, who is a U.S. citizen, applied for a green card for her husband. Ruiz Arévalos had been living in the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant since he was 17. He went to Mexico in May 2019 for the last step in his application, an interview at the U.S. Consulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before he left, he had already cleared one hurdle. People who crossed the border without papers and then lived here for more than a year can’t get a green card easily, even if they are married to a U.S. citizen. They can be banned from the country for 10 years unless they can get a waiver by proving that being forced to stay outside the U.S. would cause “extreme hardship” for a U.S. citizen spouse or parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved the waiver for Ruiz Arévalos. He and his wife had argued that it would be an extreme hardship for her to care alone for their four children, especially Priscila, who was born prematurely, has developmental delays and requires continuous medical care, including speech, occupational and physical therapy. In addition, Nathan suffered from severe depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before Ruiz Arévalos’ appointment at the consulate, the Trump administration had changed the rules for something called the “public charge” policy. Under the Trump administration, consulate officers had begun asking whether an applicant’s family members, including U.S. citizens, had ever used public benefits, including food stamps and Medicaid. While Ruiz Arévalos had never used benefits, his youngest daughter, Priscila, has received Supplemental Security Income — provided to lower-income disabled people — since she was born. All the children have used food stamps and Medi-Cal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before President Donald Trump changed the “public charge” policy, benefits used by U.S. citizen children wouldn’t have counted against Ruiz Arévalos, and having a fiscal sponsor — a friend who agreed to support him if needed — would have been enough proof he wouldn’t become a burden on the government. But under the new policy, the consulate officers told Ruiz Arévalos he was ineligible for a green card because he was likely to become a “public charge,” dependent on the government. They said he would need another sponsor, preferably a relative, but instead of waiting for him to turn in the new paperwork, they canceled his application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between Oct. 1, 2018, and Sept. 30, 2019, \u003ca href=\"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-statistics/annual-reports/report-of-the-visa-office-2019.html\">consulate officials refused almost 21,000 people\u003c/a> applying for immigrant visas based on the revised public charge policy. Under the prior policy, only about 3,000 people a year had been denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/cspq1/3/\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 2021, under President Joe Biden, the State Department restored the public charge policy in place before 2018: Non-cash benefits like Medicaid and food stamps cannot be counted against a green card applicant, nor can any benefits used by children or other relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that summer Ruiz Arévalos applied again. The process, which used to take a few months, now takes more than a year, due to backlogs that were aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Armanda Ruiz appealed to as many elected officials as she could, including meeting with Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s staff in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2022, Ruiz Arévalos finally received another waiver and then an appointment at the U.S. Consulate for a second green card interview in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he entered the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez for his second green card interview, Ruiz Arévalos wasn’t sure what to expect.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Because it’s not just us that’s going through this, it’s a lot of other people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erin Quinn, senior staff attorney at the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, a nonprofit based in San Francisco, said Ruiz Arévalos’ case highlights the impact of Trump’s changes to public charge policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This really shows the harsh realities for families that are separated and the real tangible impact it has, from education to moving forward with life to economic stability,” said Quinn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quinn said most immigrant families are not aware that the Biden administration rolled back the Trump administration’s changes to the public charge rule. In fact, one poll showed that only a quarter of immigrant families were aware, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’ve really seen is a long-term impact from the rhetoric and negative policies under the Trump administration,” Quinn said. “Combating the chilling effect that it has had on our communities here will take decades.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said many undocumented immigrants are now less comfortable leaving the United States to finalize their permanent residency applications, because they are uncertain what the outcome will be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, families are less willing to apply for services that their U.S. citizen children are eligible for, such as subsidized housing, food stamps and health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On his first morning back, Ruiz Arévalos woke up in the family trailer in Los Banos for the first time in years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt like I had never left, like it had all been a nightmare,” said Ruiz Arévalos. “It wasn’t a problem to be in Mexico. The problem was I wasn’t with my family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that first weekend back, they drove to visit a cousin in San José, Oscar Rodríguez, who submitted paperwork for Ruiz Arévalos’ immigration case, agreeing to be his fiscal sponsor.

"content": "\u003cp>California Gov. Gavin Newsom will kick off his second and final term on Friday by contrasting his leadership of the nation’s largest Democratic stronghold with that of Republican leaders he’s branded as threats to freedom and democracy — including former President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom began the ceremonies by leading a march of several hundred people through downtown Sacramento to the state Capitol. He led the crowd with his wife and four children holding hands as a marching band played near the back of the crowd. The sun was finally out after days of relentless winds and rain pounding much of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The date — January 6 — was chosen intentionally to mark the second anniversary of the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/jan-6-committee-final-report-trump-bcfea6162fe9cfa0d120e86d069af0e4\">violent attack by Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol\u003c/a> in an attempt to halt Congress from certifying Democrat Joe Biden as president.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Kim Nalder, professor of political science, California State University, Sacramento\"]‘His narrative that he’s trying to create is: Look how much better things could be if Democrats ran the political world.’[/pullquote]The event is meant to “stand in peaceful contrast to the violent insurrection and assault on our democracy which occurred two years ago,” Newsom’s campaign said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His second term officially began Monday. The planned outdoor ceremony Friday comes amid a series of \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-winter-storm-updates-383927771f2a2c75a683c8f520b776de\">massive storms\u003c/a> that brought heavy rain, snow and intense winds across the state. The deluge prompted Newsom to declare a state of emergency and offered a reminder of the bread-and-butter work of governing the nation’s most populous state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Newsom seeks to put California at the center of the national political conversation, he’ll also be challenged to lay out a vision for his second term. He’ll face headwinds in the form of a budget deficit, an unmitigated homelessness crisis and drought that may persist despite the storms. And he’ll go to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/business-california-legislature-sacramento-gavin-newsom-f67b8f4a8e0d7a978d4bf34ada1ea256\">battle with the oil industry\u003c/a> as he pushes lawmakers to impose fines on company profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom began his first term in 2019 with \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/north-america-donald-trump-us-news-ap-top-news-gavin-newsom-801183607f36492c807cc62dd9210a0c\">Trump as a clear foil\u003c/a> in Washington. With Biden now in the White House, Newsom has \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-florida-donald-trump-ron-desantis-gavin-newsom-893f7924da60ee2adf7eee9e7bb133ae\">pivoted his fire toward fellow governors Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas\u003c/a>, both Republicans. He’s chided fellow Democrats for not being aggressive enough in standing up to Republicans and has taken the fight to GOP states himself — even launching ads in other states that trash GOP policies and promote California as a safe place for people to seek abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Newsom and DeSantis are widely seen as future presidential contenders, though perhaps not against each other. Newsom has committed to supporting Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-5a8fd26a4a9ffa9b47c5de52fface72d\">if the president seeks a second term, as he currently plans to do\u003c/a>. DeSantis, meanwhile, has \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ron-desantis-politics-florida-charlie-crist-5bba0f85d72f5e6efb88ce98d7eae54d\">not ruled out a 2024 run\u003c/a> — even as Trump seeks a return to the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their competing visions of governance — \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-newsom-deSantis-a0f6748248d91b25122244e4ccd17815\">including how best to promote “freedom”\u003c/a> — showcase the political polarization that’s taken hold across the nation.

He’ll face headwinds in the form of a budget deficit, an unmitigated homelessness crisis and drought that may persist despite the storms. And he’ll go to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/business-california-legislature-sacramento-gavin-newsom-f67b8f4a8e0d7a978d4bf34ada1ea256\">battle with the oil industry\u003c/a> as he pushes lawmakers to impose fines on company profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom began his first term in 2019 with \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/north-america-donald-trump-us-news-ap-top-news-gavin-newsom-801183607f36492c807cc62dd9210a0c\">Trump as a clear foil\u003c/a> in Washington.

He’s chided fellow Democrats for not being aggressive enough in standing up to Republicans and has taken the fight to GOP states himself — even launching ads in other states that trash GOP policies and promote California as a safe place for people to seek abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Newsom and DeSantis are widely seen as future presidential contenders, though perhaps not against each other. Newsom has committed to supporting Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-5a8fd26a4a9ffa9b47c5de52fface72d\">if the president seeks a second term, as he currently plans to do\u003c/a>.

Dan Schnur said that could have an unanticipated outcome: more bipartisanship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s a really good people person,” Schnur said. “He’s very smart at reading a room and reading an individual. And as a result, he’s actually like Biden. I would put Biden and [George W.] Bush in the same category in this regard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the most conservative members of his caucus would even allow that is another question. In any case, McCarthy as speaker will likely be on a very short leash, with more conservative Republicans waiting in the wings if he stumbles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
