In the footage, a person who appears to be a United employee is seen recording Varela with a cellphone before stating: “Maybe we should call ICE on you. You’re not acting like a citizen.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Varela, a Mexican American and naturalized United States citizen, was traveling to Montreal with his wife and two daughters. KQED has reviewed Varela’s ticket and videos of the encounter and was able to confirm he was at the airport at that time. He told KQED the employee’s conduct was discriminatory and unprovoked. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I am Mexican. I was born in Mexico, I am a U.S. citizen. I own my own business. I pay taxes. I employ people,” Varela said on Friday. “For her, especially with what’s going on right now in America … to say that to a minority, especially a Hispanic person, I think it’s really, really hateful and it’s really racist.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHMdIwkuegQ\n\u003c/div>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>United Airlines declined to answer specific questions regarding the employee’s conduct or employment status.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re looking into the interaction in this video, but don’t have anything additional to share at this time,” a United media relations spokesperson told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Varela said he, his wife and two of their daughters arrived at SFO around 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday for an 11:40 a.m. flight to Montreal, Canada, where his wife was attending a work conference. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Weeks prior, he said, his wife had accidentally entered their daughter’s middle name in the last name field when booking through United for a flight operated by Air Canada. Varela said they spent roughly 15 hours on the phone in the two weeks leading up to the trip trying to fix the error, and were bounced repeatedly between the two airlines’ customer service lines.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/United-Airlines.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12077958\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/United-Airlines.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/United-Airlines-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Passengers wait for their flights inside San Francisco International Airport on Dec. 10, 2025. (Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>At the airport, the family spent nearly three hours walking back and forth between the United and Air Canada counters, he said. According to Varela, Air Canada agents were trying to help, but needed United to release the ticket in their system. Four minutes before the family was supposed to board, he said, an Air Canada supervisor walked over to the United counter to plead the family’s case.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Varela said the United employee he spoke with was dismissive, allegedly telling the Air Canada supervisor that she didn’t care if the family missed their flight.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“She said, ‘I’m not dealing with it, it ain’t my problem,’” Varela said. “That is when I was like, man, you’re so lazy, so rude. And she was like, ‘Why are you calling me this?’ I go, ‘Yeah, what’s your name?’ That’s when I pulled out my phone.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In the footage, the United employee — wearing a badge identifying her as an International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union steward — refused to give her name and began recording Varela with her own phone.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>When she reemerges from a back room, Varela again asks for her name.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>That was when she could be heard making the comment about involving U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“That’s when I lost my s—,” Varela said. “I was like, ‘Are you serious? Call ICE on me right now.’”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Varela said that, as the argument escalated, the employee stepped out from behind the counter and shoved his hand away, causing him to stop the recording.

You’re not acting like a citizen.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Varela, a Mexican American and naturalized United States citizen, was traveling to Montreal with his wife and two daughters. KQED has reviewed Varela’s ticket and videos of the encounter and was able to confirm he was at the airport at that time. He told KQED the employee’s conduct was discriminatory and unprovoked. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I am Mexican. I was born in Mexico, I am a U.S. citizen. I own my own business. I pay taxes.

(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>At the airport, the family spent nearly three hours walking back and forth between the United and Air Canada counters, he said. According to Varela, Air Canada agents were trying to help, but needed United to release the ticket in their system. Four minutes before the family was supposed to board, he said, an Air Canada supervisor walked over to the United counter to plead the family’s case.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Varela said the United employee he spoke with was dismissive, allegedly telling the Air Canada supervisor that she didn’t care if the family missed their flight.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“She said, ‘I’m not dealing with it, it ain’t my problem,’” Varela said. “That is when I was like, man, you’re so lazy, so rude. And she was like, ‘Why are you calling me this?’ I go, ‘Yeah, what’s your name?’ That’s when I pulled out my phone.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In the footage, the United employee — wearing a badge identifying her as an International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union steward — refused to give her name and began recording Varela with her own phone.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>When she reemerges from a back room, Varela again asks for her name.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>That was when she could be heard making the comment about involving U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“That’s when I lost my s—,” Varela said. “I was like, ‘Are you serious? Call ICE on me right now.’”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Varela said that, as the argument escalated, the employee stepped out from behind the counter and shoved his hand away, causing him to stop the recording. His 14-year-old daughter, standing next to him, was crying, he said.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The family eventually made their flight after another United representative stepped in to finalize the ticket release.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“We are aware of a video being circulated online, but we have no verification of its authenticity or the full context,” the IAM Union said in a statement. “As depicted, the comments made in the video do not reflect the views or values of the IAM Union. Any potential matters arising from this incident will be handled through the appropriate processes established by the collective bargaining agreement.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>SFO officials declined to comment, directing inquiries to United Airlines.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The incident comes amid mounting fear among travelers of federal immigration enforcement at transit hubs. On July 13, video footage captured plainclothes ICE \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/video/plainclothes-ice-officers-attempt-to-detain-man-las-vegas-airport/\">agents tackling and attempting to handcuff\u003c/a> a 57-year-old man at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In March, plainclothes ICE agents \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12077292/is-ice-at-sfo-heres-what-we-know-about-videos-of-woman-being-forcefully-detained\">detained Angelina Lopez-Jimenez\u003c/a>, a Contra Costa County mother and her 9-year-old daughter at SFO’s Terminal 3.

But as the abortion-rights organization tries to manage after Congress cut its federal funding last year, one Planned Parenthood affiliate in California is diving into a new kind of service – cosmetics. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California’s Supreme Court has ordered Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco — a Republican candidate for governor — to halt his investigation into the 2025 election. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An attorney for the man shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Stanislaus County this week is disputing ICE’s characterization of his client. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kalw.org/bay-area-news/2026-04-06/california-planned-parenthood-clinics-turn-to-cosmetic-care-amid-federal-funding-loss\">\u003cstrong>Planned Parenthood affiliate looks beyond reproductive care\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Planned Parenthood Mar Monte is the nation’s largest Planned Parenthood affiliate. It’s starting to offer a new set of aesthetic services, ranging from Botox to IV hydration after a night of drinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shift comes as it faces financial uncertainty after the Trump administration stripped funding for the abortion-rights organization. “There’s uncertainty with HR1,” explains Dr. Laura Dalton. “There’s uncertainty about what other actions will be taken that will limit our ability for reimbursement. So there’s that revenue gap that needs to be addressed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Dalton is Chief Medical Operating Officer for the affiliate. She says patients pay for the new aesthetic offerings with cash, which will help the provider fill the funding gap as it navigates this new financial future. The affiliate’s had to close five clinics since the cuts and can’t collect Medicaid reimbursements anymore. Around 75% of their patients are on Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California lawmakers allocated $90 million in state funding for the organization in this year’s budget, but it isn’t clear if that will cover costs for core services in the long run. “And then the second part is really about relevance and listening to our patients,” says Dalton. “And thinking about what are our patients saying they need, what do they want and it’s different than 10, 20, 30 years ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dalton said they’re seeing more patients interested in aesthetic services, for cosmetic reasons sure, but also for things like migraines and gender affirming care.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"post__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/california-supreme-court-orders-gop-sheriff-to-pause-election-probe-and-preserve-seized-ballots\">\u003cstrong>California Supreme Court orders GOP sheriff to pause election probe and preserve seized ballots\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The California Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered Riverside County’s Sheriff, who seized more than half a million 2025 election ballots, to pause his probe into election fraud allegations while the judges review the legal challenge against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order came after California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, last month asked the court to step in, arguing Sheriff Chad Bianco has no authority over election materials. A voting rights group is also challenging the ballot seizure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dispute started earlier this year and escalated last month when Bianco, who is also running for governor, seized 1,000 boxes of election materials to investigate a complaint from a local citizens group about the ballot count from a November 2025 special election on redistricting. Local election officials told the county Board of Supervisors that the complaint was unfounded. After Bonta ordered Bianco to halt his probe, the sheriff seized another 426 boxes of ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta said the Wednesday order is essential to stop the sheriff’s probe. “What the Sheriff says and what he does are often two different things,” Bonta said in a statement. “Today’s decision by the California Supreme Court reins in the destabilizing actions of a rogue Sheriff, prohibiting him from continuing this investigation while our litigation continues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-ice-shooting-immigration-349cf088c3305ab25b4e5f111981b5ff\">\u003cstrong>Attorney for man shot by ICE in California says his client did not try to run officers over\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>An attorney for a man shot by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during an arrest in central California said Wednesday that his client did not try to run over officers with his car and disputed claims that he has a warrant out for his arrest in El Salvador.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security said ICE agents fired defensive shots at Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez after he tried to drive into them on Tuesday. DHS said they were conducting an enforcement stop targeting Mendoza, 36, in Patterson. Officials described him as a suspected gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection to a murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Patrick Kolasinski, who is representing Mendoza and his family, said during a news conference that his client has been stopped for minor traffic infractions but has no criminal record in the U.S. and is not the subject of an arrest warrant in El Salvador, where he was acquitted of murder. Kolasinski said he has found no evidence his client was part of any street gang but he added he has not had the chance to talk to him to confirm that. “If he was released after being acquitted, with no other holds on him, he cannot have a warrant,” Kolasinski said. “So that information must be either erroneous or completely made up. And only DHS knows what they’re looking at.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a Oct. 25, 2019 court document from a judge in El Salvador, Mendoza, who was 29 at the time, was acquitted after being accused of murder and ordered immediately released. The document lists 10 others who were convicted of various crimes from aggravated robbery to murder, and mentions at least one of them was a member of the 18th Street Gang. But there is no mention of Mendoza belonging to a gang or being accused of carrying out gang activity in the document.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But as the abortion-rights organization tries to manage after Congress cut its federal funding last year, one Planned Parenthood affiliate in California is diving into a new kind of service – cosmetics. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California’s Supreme Court has ordered Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco — a Republican candidate for governor — to halt his investigation into the 2025 election. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An attorney for the man shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Stanislaus County this week is disputing ICE’s characterization of his client. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kalw.org/bay-area-news/2026-04-06/california-planned-parenthood-clinics-turn-to-cosmetic-care-amid-federal-funding-loss\">\u003cstrong>Planned Parenthood affiliate looks beyond reproductive care\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Planned Parenthood Mar Monte is the nation’s largest Planned Parenthood affiliate. It’s starting to offer a new set of aesthetic services, ranging from Botox to IV hydration after a night of drinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shift comes as it faces financial uncertainty after the Trump administration stripped funding for the abortion-rights organization. “There’s uncertainty with HR1,” explains Dr. Laura Dalton. “There’s uncertainty about what other actions will be taken that will limit our ability for reimbursement. So there’s that revenue gap that needs to be addressed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Dalton is Chief Medical Operating Officer for the affiliate. She says patients pay for the new aesthetic offerings with cash, which will help the provider fill the funding gap as it navigates this new financial future. The affiliate’s had to close five clinics since the cuts and can’t collect Medicaid reimbursements anymore. Around 75% of their patients are on Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California lawmakers allocated $90 million in state funding for the organization in this year’s budget, but it isn’t clear if that will cover costs for core services in the long run. “And then the second part is really about relevance and listening to our patients,” says Dalton. “And thinking about what are our patients saying they need, what do they want and it’s different than 10, 20, 30 years ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A voting rights group is also challenging the ballot seizure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dispute started earlier this year and escalated last month when Bianco, who is also running for governor, seized 1,000 boxes of election materials to investigate a complaint from a local citizens group about the ballot count from a November 2025 special election on redistricting. Local election officials told the county Board of Supervisors that the complaint was unfounded. After Bonta ordered Bianco to halt his probe, the sheriff seized another 426 boxes of ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta said the Wednesday order is essential to stop the sheriff’s probe. “What the Sheriff says and what he does are often two different things,” Bonta said in a statement. “Today’s decision by the California Supreme Court reins in the destabilizing actions of a rogue Sheriff, prohibiting him from continuing this investigation while our litigation continues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-ice-shooting-immigration-349cf088c3305ab25b4e5f111981b5ff\">\u003cstrong>Attorney for man shot by ICE in California says his client did not try to run officers over\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>An attorney for a man shot by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during an arrest in central California said Wednesday that his client did not try to run over officers with his car and disputed claims that he has a warrant out for his arrest in El Salvador.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security said ICE agents fired defensive shots at Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez after he tried to drive into them on Tuesday. DHS said they were conducting an enforcement stop targeting Mendoza, 36, in Patterson. Officials described him as a suspected gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection to a murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Patrick Kolasinski, who is representing Mendoza and his family, said during a news conference that his client has been stopped for minor traffic infractions but has no criminal record in the U.S. and is not the subject of an arrest warrant in El Salvador, where he was acquitted of murder. Kolasinski said he has found no evidence his client was part of any street gang but he added he has not had the chance to talk to him to confirm that. “If he was released after being acquitted, with no other holds on him, he cannot have a warrant,” Kolasinski said. “So that information must be either erroneous or completely made up. And only DHS knows what they’re looking at.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a Oct. 25, 2019 court document from a judge in El Salvador, Mendoza, who was 29 at the time, was acquitted after being accused of murder and ordered immediately released. The document lists 10 others who were convicted of various crimes from aggravated robbery to murder, and mentions at least one of them was a member of the 18th Street Gang. But there is no mention of Mendoza belonging to a gang or being accused of carrying out gang activity in the document.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Crop farmworkers in California earn $17.10 per hour statewide, and previous research from UC Merced found that farmworkers earn $15,000 a year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the low pay is not just an economic issue. The report found that it’s also causing a public health crisis, contributing to higher rates of workplace injuries, chronic illness, poor birth outcomes, stress, and anxiety among farmworker families. “Every single person that we interviewed said that their wages aren’t enough to cover the cost of their basic needs. People talked about having to make impossible trade-offs, like having to pick between going to the doctor and having something to eat,” Muldavin said. “Entire families are affected. People spoke about how it’s difficult to afford the things that their children want and need, like diapers, food and clothes. And it’s also difficult for farmworking parents to spend enough time with their children when they come home exhausted from working so hard to make ends meet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muldavin said their research underscored the need for an industry-wide livable wage standard for farmworkers and how doing so would improve the public health and well-being for farmworkers and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12079006/federal-immigration-officers-say-they-shot-suspected-gang-member-in-central-california\">\u003cstrong>Conflicting reports over man shot by immigration agents in Patterson\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/ice\">agents\u003c/a> shot and wounded a person who they said is a suspected gang member in central California.

But even in Northern California, immigration arrests have more than doubled. And one of them, early last year, left a Silicon Valley carpenter gravely disabled. His family – like thousands of others – \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12075152/a-year-after-ice-detained-south-bay-immigrant-family-trauma-lingers\">is now coping with trauma,\u003c/a> upheaval and financial strain. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California’s state superintendent of schools is joining calls for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12075670/california-officials-demand-ice-return-family-to-us-after-arrest-and-deportation\">return of a 6-year-old deaf student\u003c/a> from the Bay Area, who was deported to Colombia last week without his hearing aids.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Longtime San Diego Republican Congressman Darrel Issa says he \u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/politics/2026/03/06/desmond-files-to-run-in-congressional-district-held-by-issa\">will not seek re-election.\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12075152/a-year-after-ice-detained-south-bay-immigrant-family-trauma-lingers\">\u003cstrong>A year after ICE detained South Bay immigrant, family trauma lingers\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sitting on the sofa in her \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/sunnyvale\">Sunnyvale\u003c/a> apartment, Aby Peña blew a kiss into her pink cellphone as she said goodbye to her husband, Ulises Peña López, 2,000 miles away in Uruapan, Mexico. It wasn’t their first call of the day, and it wouldn’t be their last. They’ve talked often since Ulises, 31, was deported in October. It’s been a year since the couple woke up together in this apartment and began what they thought would be a mundane morning of family errands. Ulises, a carpenter, went downstairs to warm up the car, while Aby got their then-3-year-old daughter Emily ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An hour later, Ulises would be \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12028303/ice-arrest-left-bay-area-man-hospitalized-struggling-breathe-attorney-says\">in the emergency room\u003c/a> at El Camino Health in Mountain View, barely conscious, with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers stationed near his bed. His lawyers would later tell a court that ICE agents had beaten Ulises so severely he suffered a heart attack and a stroke, allegations the agency has denied. Meanwhile, Aby would be on the phone with the local Rapid Response Network, frantically trying to locate her husband while soothing her wailing daughter, who had watched from the window as the agents forced her father from the car at gunpoint, wrestled him into handcuffs and drove away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happened that February day, in the early weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term, prefigured the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/10/13/nx-s1-5566785/ice-dhs-immigration-tactics-more-violent\">often-violent immigration arrests\u003c/a> that have unfolded across the country over the past year. And the lasting trauma, upheaval and financial strain for this one Bay Area family is an early example of how Trump’s campaign of mass deportation has upended life for countless American children and families in the months that followed. Nearly 400,000 people were arrested by ICE last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/trump-2-immigration-1st-year\">more than four times\u003c/a> the number in 2024. Public attention has focused on the crackdown in cities like Los Angeles and Minneapolis, where federal agents have killed at least two people and observers have documented their use of aggressive tactics. But even in Northern California, where a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12061294/federal-immigration-agents-in-the-bay-what-we-know-and-dont-know\">planned Border Patrol\u003c/a> surge was called off at the last minute last fall, immigration arrests have more than doubled. Ulises’ detention was just one of them. “Today, the right side of my body is paralyzed.

Lesly Rodriguez Gutierrez, 28, and her two sons, who are 4 and 6 years old, were arrested on Tuesday as she attended a routine asylum check-in appointment in the city, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr26/yr26rel11.asp\">state Superintendent Tony Thurmond\u003c/a> said during a news conference on Friday. He said at the time of their detention, the 6-year-old, who is deaf, did not have his hearing aids and remains without access to necessary medical devices. “We are calling for the immediate return of this young man and his family,” Thurmond said. “This is a student who needs access to medical devices, hearing aids, and he needs to be in a program where he can receive support and care — not in some detention center, not in some cell living in squalor and poor conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nikolas De Bremaeker, an attorney with Centro Legal De La Raza, said that in the days since their arrest, advocates have been trying to locate the family and have been misled about their whereabouts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. “We were told at every point that the family was at a different location, and even up to last night when I spoke with ICE, they told me a different location than where they actually were,” he told reporters. “This is no way for a democracy to work. This is a complete obstruction of access to council.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De Bremaeker said he was able to speak with Rodriguez Gutierrez and confirm that she and her sons were deported to Colombia. Gutierrez migrated to the U.S from Colombia four years ago. She had no criminal record, according to De Bremaeker. De Bremaeker said that when they were arrested, another family member was located outside of the ICE office on 478 Tehama St. in San Francisco with the medical equipment that Rodriguez Gutierrez’s son needed, but was prevented from delivering it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s inhumane, it’s illegal, and it’s unconstitutional for this to happen,” he said Friday, adding that sign language in Colombia is different from the American Sign Language that the young student had been learning here. The child attends the California School for the Deaf in Fremont, and had been home sick on Tuesday. “It’s incredibly cruel to rip a child, as they are thriving and not only using the assistive devices that they need … out of this incredibly brave and strong progress that he has made,” De Bremaeker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/politics/2026/03/06/desmond-files-to-run-in-congressional-district-held-by-issa\">\u003cstrong>Issa to retire, endorses Desmond to succeed him in 48th Congressional District\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Alpine) announced late Friday he will retire at the end of this term. “This decision has been on my mind for a while and I didn’t make it lightly,” Issa said in a statement. “Today I’m announcing my enthusiastic endorsement of Supervisor Jim Desmond for Congress – to represent California’s new 48th district.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier on Friday, San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond withdrew as a candidate from the race for the 49th Congressional District seat.

But even in Northern California, immigration arrests have more than doubled. And one of them, early last year, left a Silicon Valley carpenter gravely disabled. His family – like thousands of others – \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12075152/a-year-after-ice-detained-south-bay-immigrant-family-trauma-lingers\">is now coping with trauma,\u003c/a> upheaval and financial strain. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California’s state superintendent of schools is joining calls for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12075670/california-officials-demand-ice-return-family-to-us-after-arrest-and-deportation\">return of a 6-year-old deaf student\u003c/a> from the Bay Area, who was deported to Colombia last week without his hearing aids.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Longtime San Diego Republican Congressman Darrel Issa says he \u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/politics/2026/03/06/desmond-files-to-run-in-congressional-district-held-by-issa\">will not seek re-election.\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12075152/a-year-after-ice-detained-south-bay-immigrant-family-trauma-lingers\">\u003cstrong>A year after ICE detained South Bay immigrant, family trauma lingers\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sitting on the sofa in her \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/sunnyvale\">Sunnyvale\u003c/a> apartment, Aby Peña blew a kiss into her pink cellphone as she said goodbye to her husband, Ulises Peña López, 2,000 miles away in Uruapan, Mexico. It wasn’t their first call of the day, and it wouldn’t be their last. They’ve talked often since Ulises, 31, was deported in October. It’s been a year since the couple woke up together in this apartment and began what they thought would be a mundane morning of family errands. Ulises, a carpenter, went downstairs to warm up the car, while Aby got their then-3-year-old daughter Emily ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An hour later, Ulises would be \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12028303/ice-arrest-left-bay-area-man-hospitalized-struggling-breathe-attorney-says\">in the emergency room\u003c/a> at El Camino Health in Mountain View, barely conscious, with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers stationed near his bed. His lawyers would later tell a court that ICE agents had beaten Ulises so severely he suffered a heart attack and a stroke, allegations the agency has denied. Meanwhile, Aby would be on the phone with the local Rapid Response Network, frantically trying to locate her husband while soothing her wailing daughter, who had watched from the window as the agents forced her father from the car at gunpoint, wrestled him into handcuffs and drove away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happened that February day, in the early weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term, prefigured the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/10/13/nx-s1-5566785/ice-dhs-immigration-tactics-more-violent\">often-violent immigration arrests\u003c/a> that have unfolded across the country over the past year. And the lasting trauma, upheaval and financial strain for this one Bay Area family is an early example of how Trump’s campaign of mass deportation has upended life for countless American children and families in the months that followed. Nearly 400,000 people were arrested by ICE last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/trump-2-immigration-1st-year\">more than four times\u003c/a> the number in 2024. Public attention has focused on the crackdown in cities like Los Angeles and Minneapolis, where federal agents have killed at least two people and observers have documented their use of aggressive tactics. But even in Northern California, where a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12061294/federal-immigration-agents-in-the-bay-what-we-know-and-dont-know\">planned Border Patrol\u003c/a> surge was called off at the last minute last fall, immigration arrests have more than doubled. Ulises’ detention was just one of them. “Today, the right side of my body is paralyzed. I’ve lost vision and hearing and sensation,” Ulises said by phone from Mexico. “Before that day, I was a normal person working in construction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the help of pro bono lawyers, Ulises has appealed his deportation and the family has filed personal injury claims against ICE. KQED reviewed legal filings in those cases, as well as government documents, and interviewed Ulises, Aby, their lawyers and outside experts about what the last year has been like for the family and how it illustrates \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/12/25/nx-s1-5645006/how-trumps-mass-deportation-efforts-have-affected-families-this-year#:~:text=Transcript-,The%20centerpiece%20of%20the%20Trump%20administration's%20second%20term%20has%20been,Good%20morning.\">what is now unfolding\u003c/a> for tens of thousands of other families across the country.

But it \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/02/otay-mesa-inspection-lawmakers-denied/\">has regularly exceeded capacity.\u003c/a> ICE data show that the number of detainees exceeded 1,600 for several days in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeane Wong was there on a recent Sunday. She helped start the vigil. “We try to connect with the hostages to let them know they are not alone, and they will never be alone, and we won’t stop fighting until they are all free,” Wong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong calls the people inside the detention center “hostages” because many have been taken – from their cars, schools and churches – and held without due process. Often, their family and friends can’t find them for days, and the conditions inside are harsh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates play music through megaphones and often communicate, in different languages. That turned the vigils into an informal channel of communications. Arturo Gonzalez attends the vigil every Sunday and patrols San Diego on the look out for federal immigration agents. “Is there anybody who wants to let their families know that they’re here,” he yells through the megaphone. Someone inside shouted a name and eventually, they were able to find her family, who had no idea where she was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez said detainees soon started throwing messages over the wall. They were written notes attached to items like lotion and shampoo bottles.

With those numbers, organizers can add money to the detainees commissary and phone accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since this was \u003ca href=\"https://lataco.com/captive-lotion-bottle-note\">first reported in LA Taco\u003c/a>, Jeane Wong said the notes have stopped coming over the fence. A detention facility employee told them detainees aren’t going to be allowed out for rec time during the vigil.

But it \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/02/otay-mesa-inspection-lawmakers-denied/\">has regularly exceeded capacity.\u003c/a> ICE data show that the number of detainees exceeded 1,600 for several days in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeane Wong was there on a recent Sunday. She helped start the vigil. “We try to connect with the hostages to let them know they are not alone, and they will never be alone, and we won’t stop fighting until they are all free,” Wong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong calls the people inside the detention center “hostages” because many have been taken – from their cars, schools and churches – and held without due process. Often, their family and friends can’t find them for days, and the conditions inside are harsh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates play music through megaphones and often communicate, in different languages. That turned the vigils into an informal channel of communications. Arturo Gonzalez attends the vigil every Sunday and patrols San Diego on the look out for federal immigration agents. “Is there anybody who wants to let their families know that they’re here,” he yells through the megaphone. Someone inside shouted a name and eventually, they were able to find her family, who had no idea where she was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This comes a day after \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/fbi-raid-lausd-superintendent-alberto-carvalho\">federal investigators raided his home\u003c/a> and office at the district’s headquarters.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An agent who is reportedly with the Department of Homeland Security is set to appear in court in Riverside Friday.

They were there to discuss immigration concerns in light of aggressive and at-times-violent immigration enforcement recently carried out in Minneapolis and other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had representatives from our Khmer community, our Lao community, our Mien community, and our Hmong community,” said May Gnia Her, who was in the front row of the gathering at The Fresno Center, a non-profit organization that serves members of Southeast Asian and other diaspora in the Fresno area. Her is the executive director of a different non-profit: Stone Soup Fresno, which runs a preschool and other services for both kids and adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her is Hmong – an indigenous ethnic group from Southeast Asia and China – and she explains\u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/community/2025-12-18/weve-come-such-a-long-way-the-valleys-hmong-community-at-50-from-ashes-of-war-to-seeds-of-hope\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \u003cu>that the Hmong-American story is unique\u003c/u>\u003c/a>. Many Hmong people fled to the U.S. as refugees beginning in the 1970s. During the Vietnam War, countless Hmong people had risked their lives fighting alongside the U.S. in a parallel “Secret War” in neighboring Laos. As a result, tens of thousands of Hmong people died, and hundreds of thousands were no longer welcome in their communities. “We were left with no homeland,” Her said. “We were left with no villages, no place to go back.” Today, decades later, many who came to the U.S. as refugees have become naturalized U.S. citizens, and younger generations of Hmong-Americans who were born here were granted birthright citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, many say they’re afraid of being detained and even deported under a federal immigration crackdown by the second Trump administration. Local law enforcement agencies don’t have solid answers for the community, either. When asked whether federal immigration officials have ramped up their presence in the Valley, representatives of the Fresno Police Department and the Fresno and Madera County sheriff’s offices couldn’t say – though they did all confirm they don’t cooperate directly with ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of information about whether the landscape is changing, some locals have taken it upon themselves to be immigration vigilantes, flooding social media with photos and videos purporting to show ICE agents in the community. And although a few of these videos likely did capture ICE agents, many were other local law enforcement operations. For instance, the Merced County Sheriff’s Office in mid-January confirmed that\u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/streetnews.merced/posts/pfbid0VWcSR8SEtMDZRJsUssDQyb4fnewj7kiL9oKgMiz7EqWz4fmzbv5N7Rw5AZpQQwspl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \u003cu>a set of videos claiming to shed light on ICE operations\u003c/u>\u003c/a> in fact captured a\u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://themercedfocus.org/sheriff-says-arrest-operation-in-merced-was-not-ice-as-social-media-rumors-circulate/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \u003cu>massive law enforcement operation being carried out by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation\u003c/u>\u003c/a> and a handful of other law enforcement agencies. Misinformation in times like these can backfire, said Gregorio Matiaz, an immigration program manager with the non-profit Centro Binacional para el Desarrollo Indígena Oaxaqueño that provides services to the local indigenous Mexican community. “It’s causing more uncertainty and fear amongst the community,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/fbi-raid-lausd-superintendent-alberto-carvalho\">\u003cstrong>FBI raids LAUSD superintendent’s home and office\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Federal agents searched Los Angeles Unified School District headquarters and the San Pedro home of Superintendent Alberto Carvalho on Wednesday morning, the Department of Justice confirmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason for the searches is unknown.

This comes a day after \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/fbi-raid-lausd-superintendent-alberto-carvalho\">federal investigators raided his home\u003c/a> and office at the district’s headquarters.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An agent who is reportedly with the Department of Homeland Security is set to appear in court in Riverside Friday.

They were there to discuss immigration concerns in light of aggressive and at-times-violent immigration enforcement recently carried out in Minneapolis and other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had representatives from our Khmer community, our Lao community, our Mien community, and our Hmong community,” said May Gnia Her, who was in the front row of the gathering at The Fresno Center, a non-profit organization that serves members of Southeast Asian and other diaspora in the Fresno area. Her is the executive director of a different non-profit: Stone Soup Fresno, which runs a preschool and other services for both kids and adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her is Hmong – an indigenous ethnic group from Southeast Asia and China – and she explains\u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/community/2025-12-18/weve-come-such-a-long-way-the-valleys-hmong-community-at-50-from-ashes-of-war-to-seeds-of-hope\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \u003cu>that the Hmong-American story is unique\u003c/u>\u003c/a>. Many Hmong people fled to the U.S. as refugees beginning in the 1970s. During the Vietnam War, countless Hmong people had risked their lives fighting alongside the U.S. in a parallel “Secret War” in neighboring Laos. As a result, tens of thousands of Hmong people died, and hundreds of thousands were no longer welcome in their communities. “We were left with no homeland,” Her said. “We were left with no villages, no place to go back.” Today, decades later, many who came to the U.S. as refugees have become naturalized U.S. citizens, and younger generations of Hmong-Americans who were born here were granted birthright citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, many say they’re afraid of being detained and even deported under a federal immigration crackdown by the second Trump administration. Local law enforcement agencies don’t have solid answers for the community, either. When asked whether federal immigration officials have ramped up their presence in the Valley, representatives of the Fresno Police Department and the Fresno and Madera County sheriff’s offices couldn’t say – though they did all confirm they don’t cooperate directly with ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And they’re not alone. Across California, more local teachers unions are in active disputes right now, from bargaining breakdowns to strike authorizations and walkouts. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/politics/la-county-identifies-zip-codes-hit-hardest-by-ice\">new report commissioned by LA County\u003c/a> lays out how ICE raids there have hurt some local businesses.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>As SF Teachers’ Strike Continues, Others Unions Locked In Labor Fight \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Wednesday is day three of the San Francisco teachers’ strike. After \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12072028/2026-san-francisco-teachers-strike-sfusd-when-sf-union-childcare-after-school-programs-meals\">nearly a year of tense contract negotiations\u003c/a> between the San Francisco Unified School District and the United Educators of San Francisco union, the two sides \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12059537/as-deficit-looms-sf-public-school-teachers-threaten-strike-over-fair-contracts\">reached an impasse\u003c/a> in the fall. The union says educators need higher wages that keep up with the rising cost of Bay Area living and fully-funded family health care. The district, however, argues its dire budget crisis makes meeting those demands an impossibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the strike is top of mind for students, families and teachers in San Francisco, labor strife is taking place in several other school districts across the state. Teachers with the San Diego Education Association are planning \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2026/01/san-diego-teachers-strike/\">a one day walkout\u003c/a> later this month. And members of United Teachers Los Angeles have also \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/lausd-utla-teachers-strike-authorization-vote-what-happens-now\">authorized a strike. \u003c/a>All told, \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/07/united-front-california-teachers-unions-raise-stakes-in-contract-talks-00769866\">Politico reports\u003c/a> that more than two dozen unions across the state are reporting an impasse in new contract negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danielle Mahones is with UC Berkeley’s Labor Center. “They are organizing together across districts with parents and students to demand the schools that every California student deserves,” she said. “Which translates to fully funded classrooms and school sites with appropriate staffing of educators and paraeducators and be able to live in the districts where they serve students. It means having access to appropriate healthcare. So that’s what we’re seeing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahones said the cost of living in the state is one of the biggest issues as to why these labor talks seem to be stalling out in various school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/politics/la-county-identifies-zip-codes-hit-hardest-by-ice\">\u003cstrong>LA County Identifies The ZIP Codes Hit Hardest By ICE\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A new report from L.A.

So in 2022, she posted a \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/CfwwlRxlP0g/\">video on Instagram\u003c/a> to address the artist directly. “Hi, Benito, Bad Bunny, hope you see this video,” she said in Spanish while signing. “Did you know that there are roughly 100,000 Deaf people in Puerto Rico? The majority like your songs, but they haven’t had the chance to experience a concert with an interpreter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week later, Rivera Cosme was on tour with Bad Bunny as one of his official sign language interpreters. She’ll now join the Puerto Rican star as he headlines the Super Bowl halftime show at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium. It’s first time in the show’s history that it will feature lyrics entirely in Spanish, and the first time Puerto Rican Sign Language will be in the spotlight on one of the country’s biggest stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m so excited,” Rivera Cosme told KQED in Puerto Rican Sign Language, or LSPR, during an interview assisted by an interpreter. “And the Deaf people of Puerto Rico are happy that the Super Bowl will be accessible to them in their own sign language.” Rivera Cosme will sign Bad Bunny’s lyrics in LSPR, bouncing on stage with the full-body energy of the music. LSPR is different from American Sign Language, or ASL, and Bad Bunny’s distinctly Puerto Rican slang already figures into its vocabulary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivera Cosme’s Super Bowl halftime performance marks an important shift for Deaf representation. Historically, concerts have featured hearing interpreters, but many Deaf audiences prefer Deaf interpreters who are more fluent in their language and culture. Since she’s partially Deaf, Rivera Cosme spends time ahead of the concert listening to the set list through headphones, reading the lyrics and preparing to give a dynamic show for Deaf Bad Bunny fans who enjoy the bass-heavy reggaeton beats and high-energy salsas through their vibrations. As she looks forward to the Super Bowl, Rivera Cosme says she’s especially proud to interpret songs that spotlight Puerto Rican traditions, like “Cafe Con Ron,” which features the folk ensemble Pleneros de la Cresta. “I grew up in the mountains, in the countryside,” she said. “So I really identify with that song.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Octavio Cuenca Maldonado, president of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nhlad.org/\">National Hispanic Latino Association of the Deaf\u003c/a>, says this Super Bowl halftime show is much more than a performance. Speaking through an interpreter, he says Rivera Cosme is providing crucial representation for Deaf Latinos. “This is about language, culture, identity, and recognition by the world,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s rare for interpreters’ cultural background to reflect the music itself, says AV Vilavong, a Deaf concert interpreter who performs at major music festivals across the country. “The fact that Celimar is Puerto Rican, there are cultural nuances that are already embedded in how she, as a Deaf interpreter, will match the tone, the cultural aspects, the songs, the significance behind the slang for particular vocabulary,” Vilavong says through an interpeter. “It’s embedded in who she is as an individual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12072450/immigrants-suing-ice-over-detention-conditions-get-their-day-in-court-in-sf\">\u003cstrong>Immigrants Suing ICE Over Detention Conditions Get Their Day In Court \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A group of detained immigrants who say their rights are being violated at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12070519/california-senators-visit-immigration-jail-ahead-of-looming-ice-funding-bill-deadline\">California City immigration detention facility\u003c/a> in the Mojave Desert will get their first day in court on Friday before a federal judge in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/cases/gomez-ruiz-et-al-v-ice\">lawsuit\u003c/a> alleges that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12071297/bay-area-congressman-ramps-up-push-to-bring-ice-detention-conditions-to-light\">conditions at the 2,560-bed immigration jail\u003c/a> operated by a for-profit contractor are so bad that they violate the Constitution and a law meant to protect people with disabilities. It points to meager medical care, inadequate access to lawyers and an environment so punishing it’s worse than a high-security prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit comes as a record number of people are being held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention — more than 70,000 as of late January — and a growing number of them are dying. There were 32 deaths in 2025, the highest in two decades, and ICE has reported that six people have died in custody since the start of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The detainees are asking U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney to order ICE to ensure that conditions improve so they comply with the Rehabilitation Act and the 1st and 5th amendments to the Constitution. They’re also asking her to make the case a class action to cover everyone held at the California City facility. Cody Harris, a partner at Keker, Van Nest & Peters, who’s part of a team representing the detainees, said ICE and CoreCivic, the company that owns and operates the former prison in California City, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12054544/californias-newest-immigration-facility-is-also-its-biggest-is-it-operating-legally\">opened it in haste last August\u003c/a>, unprepared to handle even routine medical needs, let alone serious ones. “Their staffing was not ready, their training was not ready, the facility itself wasn’t ready,” he said. “They set out to make this the biggest immigration detention facility in the entire state … and they just weren’t ready to do that.” ICE and the Department of Homeland Security dispute the allegations. In court filings, they argue that the law does not require them to treat detainees better than prisoners and say the California City facility has an experienced warden who follows ICE’s detention standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Kern County Sues Oil Producer\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The District Attorney’s office in Kern County has filed a lawsuit, accusing an oil and gas producer of environmental violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DA Cynthia Zimmer filed a criminal and civil complaint against 25 Hill Properties Incorporated and its owner – Ronald Engelberg. She said the company holds multiple oil and gas leases near the city of Taft,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company is accused of hundreds of violations that were identified by the state agency overseeing oil and gas operations. The allegations include illegal storage and dumping of toxic waste, as well as illegally spilling oil into state waterways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engelberg’s company was previously sued for failing to report spills and illegally disposing of hazardous waste. That case was settled in 2022. But state regulators allege the company continued to commit violations. Engelberg was arraigned on the new charges on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This case comes as Kern County sees a wave of new oil permits under a state law aiming to boost in-state oil production and lower gas prices.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She’ll now join the Puerto Rican star as he headlines the Super Bowl halftime show at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium. It’s first time in the show’s history that it will feature lyrics entirely in Spanish, and the first time Puerto Rican Sign Language will be in the spotlight on one of the country’s biggest stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m so excited,” Rivera Cosme told KQED in Puerto Rican Sign Language, or LSPR, during an interview assisted by an interpreter. “And the Deaf people of Puerto Rico are happy that the Super Bowl will be accessible to them in their own sign language.” Rivera Cosme will sign Bad Bunny’s lyrics in LSPR, bouncing on stage with the full-body energy of the music. LSPR is different from American Sign Language, or ASL, and Bad Bunny’s distinctly Puerto Rican slang already figures into its vocabulary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivera Cosme’s Super Bowl halftime performance marks an important shift for Deaf representation. Historically, concerts have featured hearing interpreters, but many Deaf audiences prefer Deaf interpreters who are more fluent in their language and culture. Since she’s partially Deaf, Rivera Cosme spends time ahead of the concert listening to the set list through headphones, reading the lyrics and preparing to give a dynamic show for Deaf Bad Bunny fans who enjoy the bass-heavy reggaeton beats and high-energy salsas through their vibrations. As she looks forward to the Super Bowl, Rivera Cosme says she’s especially proud to interpret songs that spotlight Puerto Rican traditions, like “Cafe Con Ron,” which features the folk ensemble Pleneros de la Cresta. “I grew up in the mountains, in the countryside,” she said. “So I really identify with that song.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Speaking through an interpreter, he says Rivera Cosme is providing crucial representation for Deaf Latinos. “This is about language, culture, identity, and recognition by the world,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s rare for interpreters’ cultural background to reflect the music itself, says AV Vilavong, a Deaf concert interpreter who performs at major music festivals across the country. “The fact that Celimar is Puerto Rican, there are cultural nuances that are already embedded in how she, as a Deaf interpreter, will match the tone, the cultural aspects, the songs, the significance behind the slang for particular vocabulary,” Vilavong says through an interpeter. “It’s embedded in who she is as an individual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12072450/immigrants-suing-ice-over-detention-conditions-get-their-day-in-court-in-sf\">\u003cstrong>Immigrants Suing ICE Over Detention Conditions Get Their Day In Court \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A group of detained immigrants who say their rights are being violated at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12070519/california-senators-visit-immigration-jail-ahead-of-looming-ice-funding-bill-deadline\">California City immigration detention facility\u003c/a> in the Mojave Desert will get their first day in court on Friday before a federal judge in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/cases/gomez-ruiz-et-al-v-ice\">lawsuit\u003c/a> alleges that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12071297/bay-area-congressman-ramps-up-push-to-bring-ice-detention-conditions-to-light\">conditions at the 2,560-bed immigration jail\u003c/a> operated by a for-profit contractor are so bad that they violate the Constitution and a law meant to protect people with disabilities. It points to meager medical care, inadequate access to lawyers and an environment so punishing it’s worse than a high-security prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit comes as a record number of people are being held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention — more than 70,000 as of late January — and a growing number of them are dying. There were 32 deaths in 2025, the highest in two decades, and ICE has reported that six people have died in custody since the start of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The detainees are asking U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney to order ICE to ensure that conditions improve so they comply with the Rehabilitation Act and the 1st and 5th amendments to the Constitution. They’re also asking her to make the case a class action to cover everyone held at the California City facility. Cody Harris, a partner at Keker, Van Nest & Peters, who’s part of a team representing the detainees, said ICE and CoreCivic, the company that owns and operates the former prison in California City, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12054544/californias-newest-immigration-facility-is-also-its-biggest-is-it-operating-legally\">opened it in haste last August\u003c/a>, unprepared to handle even routine medical needs, let alone serious ones. “Their staffing was not ready, their training was not ready, the facility itself wasn’t ready,” he said. “They set out to make this the biggest immigration detention facility in the entire state … and they just weren’t ready to do that.” ICE and the Department of Homeland Security dispute the allegations. In court filings, they argue that the law does not require them to treat detainees better than prisoners and say the California City facility has an experienced warden who follows ICE’s detention standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Kern County Sues Oil Producer\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The District Attorney’s office in Kern County has filed a lawsuit, accusing an oil and gas producer of environmental violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DA Cynthia Zimmer filed a criminal and civil complaint against 25 Hill Properties Incorporated and its owner – Ronald Engelberg.

The allegations include illegal storage and dumping of toxic waste, as well as illegally spilling oil into state waterways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engelberg’s company was previously sued for failing to report spills and illegally disposing of hazardous waste. That case was settled in 2022. But state regulators allege the company continued to commit violations. Engelberg was arraigned on the new charges on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
