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.",

Doug LaMalfa since 2013, currently follows Interstate 5 north through the rural counties of Glenn, Tehama, and Shasta to the Oregon border.

The region’s large Latino population brings additional requirements under the Voting Rights Act — that districts not be drawn in a way that dilutes Latino voting strength.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voter registration doesn’t always determine House elections here. In 2024, for example, Republican Rep. David Valadao won reelection in a Bakersfield seat where 40% of voters are Democrats and just 28% are Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed changes in the Central Valley are centered on what Mitchell called “the Stockton finger,” where the competitive 13th district — currently held by Democratic Rep. Adam Gray — now juts into the city of Stockton, picking up Democratic voters and likely protecting Gray from a tough reelection fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pulling Gray’s district toward Stockton has a domino effect: the 22nd district held by Valadao is also stretched north, toward Fresno, adding Democratic voters to the seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That finger up into Stockton is a key feature of making all the puzzle pieces fall in place in the Central Valley,” Mitchell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Southern California\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the most dramatic transformation is the remaking of the 41st Congressional District, currently held by Republican Rep. Ken Calvert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calvert has represented parts of the Inland Empire since 1993. Democrats have made competitive challenges in the last two elections, particularly after the liberal city of Palm Springs was added to his district in 2022.[aside postID=news_12052064 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/GavinNewsomRedistrictingCAGetty.jpg']Under the proposed lines, Calvert has virtually no chance of winning reelection in the 41st district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did that by literally picking Ken Calvert’s district up off the map and putting it in LA,” Mitchell said. “So, going from a seat that Democrats are wasting a lot of money on trying to win to one that is 100% Democratic in terms of performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed map essentially recreates the Los Angeles-area district formerly held by Democrat Lucille Roybal-Allard. When California lost a congressional seat after the 2020 Census, the state’s independent redistricting commission eliminated the district and Roybal-Allard retired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new map creates a vacant seat in the heart of Los Angeles, Mitchell said — a plum position for Democrats in the state’s largest city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To fill the hole left by Calvert’s seat, the 48th district, currently held by Republican Rep. Darrell Issa, is stretched north over the San Jacinto Mountains and into Palm Springs — giving Democrats a prime opportunity to unseat Issa.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The path ahead\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The state Legislature returns from summer recess Monday and will hold a hearing on the new map on Tuesday morning, in the Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers are expected to vote on the new map and a constitutional amendment that shifts line-drawing powers away from the state’s independent redistricting commission — a change that will need approval from California voters in an election that Democrats hope to schedule for Nov. 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additional legislation will set aside money for counties to administer the election, and enact a trigger clause to nullify the map changes should Republican-led states such as Texas drop their redistricting plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

At least some of the other adults were also transferred to Washington, though Engen said Centro Legal does not know all of their statuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The six people, some of whom advocates believe are related, were detained at their home near 79th Street and Hillside Road in East Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the raid, the county’s rapid response hotline received a call from a detained individual’s family member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Engen said she hadn’t seen any proof of a warrant to search the house, she said that in most instances where ICE detains people at private residences, it happens when someone inside allows ICE access.

California’s lawyers say the Marines “briefly detained” a protester.

He sided with California already only to have a three-judge panel in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals block his orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nor is the military the main force acting on the Trump administration’s interpretation of immigration law. The Department of Homeland Security has that role through its various agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those agencies were \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/07/la-immigration-restraining-order/\">temporarily blocked\u003c/a> by a lower district court judge from making apprehensions in Southern California based on race, ethnicity, language, and location or employment. The move sought to block “roving” immigration stops in California’s most populous region. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A panel on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that block. Last week the Trump administration\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/08/trump-appeals-ban-on-la-immigration-raids/\"> appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States\u003c/a> to lift the lower court’s restraining order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This article was \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/08/newsom-vs-trump-national-guard/\">originally published on CalMatters\u003c/a> and was republished under the \u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives\u003c/a> license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
