City Council has taken a step toward reactivating a zoning code that could prohibit the construction and operation of private detention centers for unaccompanied children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance is meant to prevent private facilities from contracting with federal law enforcement agencies like ICE, according to Councilmember Tim McOsker, who introduced the motion last Wednesday. The zoning ordinance was first introduced in 2019 in response to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies during his first term. The file was drafted in 2021, but was never officially adopted, and therefore it expired in 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council\u003cb> \u003c/b>last week\u003cb> \u003c/b>voted to revive the file and update the drafted zoning code in response to immigration raids. “The concern, of course, was the worry that profiteers, private entities working with the federal government, were creating detention centers across the country,” McOsker said during the council meeting. “Those were creating human rights violations and poor living conditions, disease, death and harms that were unconstitutional to residents of the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/12/11/more-10000-illegal-aliens-arrested-sanctuary-los-angeles-dhs-launched-operations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>reported\u003c/u>\u003c/a> it has detained more than 10,000 people in Los Angeles since raids started in June.

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.

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>\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.

Khanna was reportedly told there were 1,428 detainees, including 215 women. The most recently available ICE data available, from Dec. 26, shows 922 detainees — although that number could have increased over the past two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawmaker said he also had two group sessions where he was able to talk with 47 detained people who had signed up to meet him. No prison staff was present in the meetings, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During the tour, [the warden and other prison officials] were showing us they were going by the book, and they took standards really seriously,” he said. “Then when we met the detainees, I was just floored.”[aside postID=news_12068663 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/260105-VenezuelaCalifornia-06-BL_qed.jpg']Khanna said he spoke with a man who said he had blood in his urine and was still waiting for medical care after seven days. He said people described rocks in their food, undrinkable water, punishing lockdowns four times a day and no-contact visits with family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was really dehumanizing, and many of them were in tears,” he said. “Some of them had been in this country for over a decade, paying taxes, and they’re just shocked that they had been sent to this facility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna said he was particularly alarmed by the lack of medical care.

All individuals have daily access to sign up for medical care, including mental health services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gustin added that the company’s immigration facilities are closely monitored by ICE and required to undergo regular reviews and audits “to ensure an appropriate standard of living and care for all detainees.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12054617\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12054617\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/CoreCivicKQED3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/CoreCivicKQED3.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/CoreCivicKQED3-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/CoreCivicKQED3-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The CoreCivic Inc.

You’re granted a hearing and the judge agrees to release you on bond. But even though you pay the bond, you stay in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This nightmare scenario happened to a 49-year-old Mexican in late June. He’s been in this country for 26 years, owns a construction business and is the father of a United States citizen son, according to court documents filed by his lawyer Mitchell Shen. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents placed the man, who Shen asked KPBS to identify only as Mr. C, in the Otay Mesa Detention Center. After nearly a month in custody, an immigration judge granted his release on a $3,000 bond that his family paid on July 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under previous administrations, people fitting Mr. C’s profile — deep family ties, no flight risk, and no violent criminal record — would have been quickly released and allowed to fight their deportation case from home. But the Trump administration kept him locked up two weeks after his family paid bond, according to Shen. So Shen played the only card he had left: A federal lawsuit known as a writ of habeas corpus petition seeking Mr. C’s release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Habeas Corpus has been part of U.S. law since the founding of the country. Simply put, it’s a person’s \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.uscourts.gov/glossary-legal-terms/habeas-corpus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cu>last line of legal defense against illegal detention. \u003c/u>\u003c/a>Historically habeas petitions have rarely been used in immigration cases. But they’ve skyrocketed during the early months of President Donald Trump’s second term. Mr. C’s petition is just one of more than 3,300 filed in district courts across the country this year. Each case accuses the federal government of subjecting immigrants to illegal and prolonged detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previously, immigration lawyers have been able to work within the immigration court system to release their clients from custody — either by asking an immigration judge for a bond hearing or asking ICE for parole. But Trump administration officials have eliminated those options for most people in detention. “In a normal year, I’ll file one or two,” said Stacy Tolchin, a Pasadena-based immigration lawyer. “I’ve been filing three a week since September.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/11/prisons-budget-overspending/\">\u003cstrong>Governor Newsom Closed 4 Prisons, But Corrections Spending Is Still Over Budget\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some of the red ink in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/11/california-budget-lao-forecast/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">California’s budget deficit\u003c/a> is coming from unplanned spending in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/prisons/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">state prisons\u003c/a>, according to a new report from the Legislative Analyst’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is on track to exceed its budget by roughly $850 million over three years despite recent cuts that include four prison closures and some \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/06/california-debt-opeb/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">labor concessions that trimmed payroll expenses\u003c/a>. The state budget included $17.5 billion for prisons this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office attributed the corrections department’s shortfall to both preexisting and ongoing imbalances in its budget. The analyst’s annual fiscal outlook projected a nearly $18 billion deficit for the coming year, which follows \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/06/california-budget-newsom-democrats/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spending cuts in the current budget\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The corrections department last year ran out of money to pay its bills. In May, it received a one-time allocation of $357 million from the general fund to cover needs including workers’ compensation, food for incarcerated people and overtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco in a June 17 letter to the Department of Finance said he was “shocked and disappointed that (the corrections department) overspent its budget by such a significant amount” while the state faced a $12 billion general fund shortfall that resulted in cuts to key health care and social service programs. “These were dollars that could have been used to provide basic services to some of our most underserved communities,” wrote Wiener. “While this year’s budget included measures requiring departments to ‘tighten their belts’ and reduce state operating expenses by up to 7.95%, (the corrections department) did the opposite, and overspent by nearly three percent.” Without having any new dedicated funding to align its actual costs with its budget, Wiener warned, deficits “will likely persist” and put additional pressure on the general fund in years to come.\u003c/p>\n\n",

You’re granted a hearing and the judge agrees to release you on bond. But even though you pay the bond, you stay in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This nightmare scenario happened to a 49-year-old Mexican in late June. He’s been in this country for 26 years, owns a construction business and is the father of a United States citizen son, according to court documents filed by his lawyer Mitchell Shen. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents placed the man, who Shen asked KPBS to identify only as Mr. C, in the Otay Mesa Detention Center. After nearly a month in custody, an immigration judge granted his release on a $3,000 bond that his family paid on July 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under previous administrations, people fitting Mr. C’s profile — deep family ties, no flight risk, and no violent criminal record — would have been quickly released and allowed to fight their deportation case from home. But the Trump administration kept him locked up two weeks after his family paid bond, according to Shen. So Shen played the only card he had left: A federal lawsuit known as a writ of habeas corpus petition seeking Mr. C’s release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Habeas Corpus has been part of U.S. law since the founding of the country.

But they’ve skyrocketed during the early months of President Donald Trump’s second term. Mr. C’s petition is just one of more than 3,300 filed in district courts across the country this year. Each case accuses the federal government of subjecting immigrants to illegal and prolonged detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Scott Wiener of San Francisco in a June 17 letter to the Department of Finance said he was “shocked and disappointed that (the corrections department) overspent its budget by such a significant amount” while the state faced a $12 billion general fund shortfall that resulted in cuts to key health care and social service programs. “These were dollars that could have been used to provide basic services to some of our most underserved communities,” wrote Wiener. “While this year’s budget included measures requiring departments to ‘tighten their belts’ and reduce state operating expenses by up to 7.95%, (the corrections department) did the opposite, and overspent by nearly three percent.” Without having any new dedicated funding to align its actual costs with its budget, Wiener warned, deficits “will likely persist” and put additional pressure on the general fund in years to come.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But it never really let him go. “In Vietnam, it was definitely combat,” he said. “And there was a lot of things in there that we did that we shouldn’t do, or things that I don’t even talk about today.” The retired Army veteran earned three Purple Hearts for his service. But medals didn’t ease the invisible wounds he carried — flashbacks, anger and sleepless nights that would last decades. “You come back with severe PTSD,” he said. “That’s what I have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A psychiatrist at the Department of Veterans Affairs eventually suggested a service dog. That’s how Service met Chance, a yellow Labrador retriever who would become his constant companion. “Initially, you don’t know anything or what you’re going to do,” he said. “You’re coming in, you’re going to train with a dog, but you don’t have any idea what the outcome is.” Service and Chance trained at \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.freedomdogs.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cu>Freedom Dogs\u003c/u>\u003c/a>, a San Diego nonprofit that pairs specially trained service dogs with veterans and active-duty service members coping with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries.

For many, it’s the first time they’ve felt safe enough to rejoin the world outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, the organization may soon lose its largest source of funding. “We had a grant this past year for about $247,000. That was 42% of our operating budget,” said Peggy Poore, the nonprofit’s executive director. “So it’s a significant impact.” The grant comes from the Department of Defense, which funds similar service-dog programs across the country. But this year, that funding is stuck in Congress’s annual defense bill negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freedom Dogs currently supports about 25 veterans and service members.
