But others are still very much up for grabs.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12085541/california-governor-race-becerra-hilton-lead-early-with-millions-of-votes-to-be-counted\">\u003cstrong>Hilton, Becerra tout early leads in California governor race, as Steyer urges patience\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/california/governor\">primary election for California governor\u003c/a> is too close to call in early returns, with Republican businessman Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra neck-and-neck atop the field and Democrat Tom Steyer in third place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after midnight, Hilton, a former Fox News commentator and businessman, led with 27% of the vote, followed closely by Becerra, former U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, at 25%. Both were enjoying a comfortable early advantage over billionaire Democratic activist Steyer, who sat at about 20%, with just over half of the expected votes counted, according to an Associated Press estimate. The race will decide which two candidates move on to a November runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his remarks at his watch party in Los Angeles, Becerra noted his underdog status: Polls showed him stuck in single digits until the final six weeks of the campaign, when he surprised nearly everyone by surging into the top spot among a crowded field of Democrats. “Here in Hollywood’s hometown, we love a good underdog success story,” he said, drawing parallels between his campaign and the life his immigrant parents built in California. “Guess what? The underdog stayed in the fight. Like my parents, I never gave up. Never stopped putting one foot in front of the other. Never stopped believing in the beacon-like goodness of California. And, thankfully, neither did you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At his watch party in Huntington Beach, the British-born Hilton — who became a U.S. citizen just five years ago — said it was the “honor of his lifetime” to receive over 1 million votes so far. “Change is coming to California and it’s long overdue,” Hilton said. “We’re not there yet, but it’s looking good. It looks very much as if Californians really will have the chance to vote for change in November and take our state in a new direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But nothing is guaranteed for Becerra or Hilton yet. The early results could shift in part because of unusual voting patterns in this primary election: Ballot tracking data heading into Tuesday evening showed that Republicans were more likely to vote early by mail, while Democratic voters in this deep blue state \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12084978/california-democrats-anxious-about-wasted-votes-are-clinging-to-their-ballots\">hung onto their mail-in ballots\u003c/a> or chose to vote in person. That’s the reverse of recent elections, which saw more Democrats voting by mail and Republicans tending to vote in person on Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steyer urged his supporters to be patient Tuesday evening. Speaking at his watch party at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, he railed against the big companies, including PG&E and Chevron, that opposed his candidacy. “Together, we’ve scared the hell out of the corporate interests used to getting their way,” Steyer said. “It might take some time to figure out where this is going. We’re going to wait until every ballot is counted. We’re going to give democracy time to work. And we know we finished really strong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/06/primary-election-california-congress/\">\u003cstrong>California House races could decide the majority in Congress. Who survived the primary?\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All eyes are on California’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/congress/\">competitive House races\u003c/a> as voters choose which candidates will face off later this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">T\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2026/06/california-primary-election-results-june-2026/\">he outcome of the state’s open primary\u003c/a>, which narrows each race to the top two vote-getters regardless of party, sets the stage for a fierce contest in November as Democrats across the country push to retake control of Congress. Victories in California are even more important after a series of court rulings gave Republicans the edge in the national redistricting arms race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, Democrats have been bullish about their chances in California after voters last year approved new congressional maps that significantly decreased the number of competitive races in the state. With the House majority, Democrats could block President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda, grill his cabinet officials and launch investigations into his administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-voter-guide-2026/us-house/#district-22\">marquee race\u003c/a> is in the Bakersfield-based 22nd District. Two Democrats are \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/02/bains-villegas-democrats-central-valley/\">fighting for the chance\u003c/a> to take on Rep. David Valadao, the vulnerable Republican incumbent whose only election loss came in 2018 during Trump’s first term. The Associated Press said Tuesday that Valadao will advance to November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/legislators/jasmeet-bains-165424\">Assemblymember Jasmeet Bains\u003c/a>, a physician who has spent most of her career in hospitals and clinics that rely on Medi-Cal, has positioned herself as a moderate Democrat willing to buck her party. She has faced stiff competition from Randy Villegas, a college professor and school board trustee running as a progressive Democrat with support from the Working Families Party, the Congressional Progressive Caucus and Sen. Bernie Sanders. With about half the vote tallied Tuesday night, Villegas was leading Bains by about 1,300 votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Diego County, Republican Jim Desmond, a County supervisor backed by the retiring incumbent, Rep. Darrell Issa, will face current San Diego City Councilmember Marni von Wilpert, a Democrat in November. The Associated Press called the race late Tuesday with about 55% of the vote tallied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Von Wilpert decisively quelled a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/04/california-congress-cd48-democrats/\">fierce intraparty challenge\u003c/a> from fellow Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar, a former labor department aide to President Barack Obama who had lost to Issa twice before. She called him anti-LGBTQ for questioning whether she could win votes outside gay-friendly Palm Springs; Campa-Najjar accused von Wilpert of racism for questioning his name changes and residence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These will be just two of the races that will be closely watched come November.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Both were enjoying a comfortable early advantage over billionaire Democratic activist Steyer, who sat at about 20%, with just over half of the expected votes counted, according to an Associated Press estimate. The race will decide which two candidates move on to a November runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his remarks at his watch party in Los Angeles, Becerra noted his underdog status: Polls showed him stuck in single digits until the final six weeks of the campaign, when he surprised nearly everyone by surging into the top spot among a crowded field of Democrats. “Here in Hollywood’s hometown, we love a good underdog success story,” he said, drawing parallels between his campaign and the life his immigrant parents built in California. “Guess what? The underdog stayed in the fight. Like my parents, I never gave up. Never stopped putting one foot in front of the other. Never stopped believing in the beacon-like goodness of California. And, thankfully, neither did you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At his watch party in Huntington Beach, the British-born Hilton — who became a U.S. citizen just five years ago — said it was the “honor of his lifetime” to receive over 1 million votes so far. “Change is coming to California and it’s long overdue,” Hilton said. “We’re not there yet, but it’s looking good. It looks very much as if Californians really will have the chance to vote for change in November and take our state in a new direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The early results could shift in part because of unusual voting patterns in this primary election: Ballot tracking data heading into Tuesday evening showed that Republicans were more likely to vote early by mail, while Democratic voters in this deep blue state \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12084978/california-democrats-anxious-about-wasted-votes-are-clinging-to-their-ballots\">hung onto their mail-in ballots\u003c/a> or chose to vote in person. That’s the reverse of recent elections, which saw more Democrats voting by mail and Republicans tending to vote in person on Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steyer urged his supporters to be patient Tuesday evening. Speaking at his watch party at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, he railed against the big companies, including PG&E and Chevron, that opposed his candidacy. “Together, we’ve scared the hell out of the corporate interests used to getting their way,” Steyer said. “It might take some time to figure out where this is going. We’re going to wait until every ballot is counted. We’re going to give democracy time to work. And we know we finished really strong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/06/primary-election-california-congress/\">\u003cstrong>California House races could decide the majority in Congress.

Victories in California are even more important after a series of court rulings gave Republicans the edge in the national redistricting arms race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, Democrats have been bullish about their chances in California after voters last year approved new congressional maps that significantly decreased the number of competitive races in the state. With the House majority, Democrats could block President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda, grill his cabinet officials and launch investigations into his administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-voter-guide-2026/us-house/#district-22\">marquee race\u003c/a> is in the Bakersfield-based 22nd District. Two Democrats are \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/02/bains-villegas-democrats-central-valley/\">fighting for the chance\u003c/a> to take on Rep. David Valadao, the vulnerable Republican incumbent whose only election loss came in 2018 during Trump’s first term. The Associated Press said Tuesday that Valadao will advance to November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/legislators/jasmeet-bains-165424\">Assemblymember Jasmeet Bains\u003c/a>, a physician who has spent most of her career in hospitals and clinics that rely on Medi-Cal, has positioned herself as a moderate Democrat willing to buck her party. She has faced stiff competition from Randy Villegas, a college professor and school board trustee running as a progressive Democrat with support from the Working Families Party, the Congressional Progressive Caucus and Sen. Bernie Sanders. With about half the vote tallied Tuesday night, Villegas was leading Bains by about 1,300 votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Diego County, Republican Jim Desmond, a County supervisor backed by the retiring incumbent, Rep. Darrell Issa, will face current San Diego City Councilmember Marni von Wilpert, a Democrat in November. The Associated Press called the race late Tuesday with about 55% of the vote tallied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Von Wilpert decisively quelled a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/04/california-congress-cd48-democrats/\">fierce intraparty challenge\u003c/a> from fellow Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar, a former labor department aide to President Barack Obama who had lost to Issa twice before. She called him anti-LGBTQ for questioning whether she could win votes outside gay-friendly Palm Springs; Campa-Najjar accused von Wilpert of racism for questioning his name changes and residence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These will be just two of the races that will be closely watched come November.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Jared Huffman has spent more than a decade representing California’s liberal North Coast. Now he’s campaigning in some of the state’s most conservative counties, where concerns about wolves, ranching and federal land management dominate political conversations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2nd District changed after California voters approved Proposition 50 in 2025, a Democratic-backed redistricting plan designed to help the party gain U.S. House seats and counter Republican redistricting efforts elsewhere in the country. The new map expanded Huffman’s district eastward to include Siskiyou, Shasta and Modoc counties. The change has transformed one of the state’s most reliably Democratic districts into a far larger and more politically diverse region, forcing Huffman to introduce himself to voters who often hold very different views from his coastal base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman, first elected to Congress in 2012, has rarely faced a competitive race. He has won every election with more than two-thirds of the vote, representing a district that stretched along the Northern California coast from Del Norte County to the Golden Gate Bridge. He said he already knew most of his original district before winning his first election. “It was very familiar to me,” he said. “From fishing and doing some of my environmental advocacy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the overwhelming Democratic support, he also represented Republican areas, including Trinity and Del Norte counties. “I’ve built great relationships with community leaders, elected officials, many of whom probably don’t even vote for me at the end of the day,” said Huffman. “But we have really productive working relationships, and to me, that’s what matters most.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the district’s newly added counties, Republicans outnumber Democrats by more than 2-to-1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The political shift is also geographic. The old district was anchored by coastal communities focused on fishing, tourism and environmental issues. The new territory includes ranching and timber counties where public lands, water rights, wolves and wildfire management are often top concerns. “There’s just a lot of obstacles that we face,” said Mary Rickert, a former Shasta County supervisor and rancher. “They have to be practical and understand we just don’t fit in the same categories as what goes on in the urban areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One issue has become a symbol of that divide: wolves. Gray wolves, which are federally endangered, began returning to California in 2011 after nearly a century of absence. Their growing presence has sparked conflict in parts of Northern California where ranchers say livestock losses are mounting. Rickert said she has had 21 confirmed wolf kills on her ranching operations. “When we shipped cows a year ago out of our Siskiyou County operation,” she said, “we had 200 mother cows and only 160 calves, so there are 40 calves that were unaccounted for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rickert said ranchers are not against wolves in general, but they believe the bad wolves that attack livestock need to be killed. Huffman said wolves are among the issues he is still learning as he campaigns in the district’s eastern reaches. “California seems to have it worse than anywhere else right now,” Huffman said. “And I’m very interested in understanding exactly why that is and what are some of the strategies that can bring us to a better point of coexistence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people in rural Northern California are concerned about whether a congressman from Marin County can effectively represent the district’s rural interior. During a debate in April, Republican Paul Saulsbury said the district needs a stronger voice for rural communities. “This is not about me,” Saulsbury said. “This is about representing the people of this district. We need a voice. We need a strong voice for this district.” Saulsbury is one of seven candidates competing against Huffman in the June primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12085401/amid-opposition-california-regulators-approve-major-changes-to-cap-and-trade-program\">\u003cstrong>Amid opposition, California regulators approve major changes to cap-and-trade program\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In a controversial move, state regulators on Friday approved major changes to California’s cap-and-invest program at a lengthy board meeting that transpired over the course of two days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Air Resources Board (CARB) voted to create a $4 billion fund for big polluters to invest in \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2026-04/nc-MDIF%20FAQ_April%202026.pdf\">decarbonization projects\u003c/a>. Climate, affordable housing and transit advocates, however, worry the move might mean significantly less money for their programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But climate, affordable housing and transit advocates are skeptical as to whether those projects will truly materialize. They also worry that this new program could lower the value of allowances at auction, potentially resulting in less money for California’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom lauded the effort, saying it advances affordability while keeping the state on track to meet its climate targets. “California’s nation-leading cap-and-invest program has proven that we can cut pollution, create jobs, and invest in a cleaner future at the same time,” he wrote. “These are real results that Californians can see and feel.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regulators said they were doing their best to strike a balance that also keeps oil and gas companies viable. \u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>There is no direction to us, as an agency, to maximize one trade-off versus another,” said Rajinder Sahota, deputy executive officer for climate change and research at CARB. “What we’re trying to do is balance all of the pieces that we’re getting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Palm Springs sets world record\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>1,037 people donning white halter dresses and platinum blonde wigs descended on Palm Springs on Saturday afternoon, breaking the Guinness World Record for most Marilyn Monroe lookalikes in one place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rules were simple – blonde wig, white halter dress and red lipstick.

The old district was anchored by coastal communities focused on fishing, tourism and environmental issues. The new territory includes ranching and timber counties where public lands, water rights, wolves and wildfire management are often top concerns. “There’s just a lot of obstacles that we face,” said Mary Rickert, a former Shasta County supervisor and rancher. “They have to be practical and understand we just don’t fit in the same categories as what goes on in the urban areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One issue has become a symbol of that divide: wolves. Gray wolves, which are federally endangered, began returning to California in 2011 after nearly a century of absence. Their growing presence has sparked conflict in parts of Northern California where ranchers say livestock losses are mounting. Rickert said she has had 21 confirmed wolf kills on her ranching operations. “When we shipped cows a year ago out of our Siskiyou County operation,” she said, “we had 200 mother cows and only 160 calves, so there are 40 calves that were unaccounted for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rickert said ranchers are not against wolves in general, but they believe the bad wolves that attack livestock need to be killed. Huffman said wolves are among the issues he is still learning as he campaigns in the district’s eastern reaches. “California seems to have it worse than anywhere else right now,” Huffman said. “And I’m very interested in understanding exactly why that is and what are some of the strategies that can bring us to a better point of coexistence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people in rural Northern California are concerned about whether a congressman from Marin County can effectively represent the district’s rural interior. During a debate in April, Republican Paul Saulsbury said the district needs a stronger voice for rural communities. “This is not about me,” Saulsbury said. “This is about representing the people of this district. We need a voice. We need a strong voice for this district.” Saulsbury is one of seven candidates competing against Huffman in the June primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12085401/amid-opposition-california-regulators-approve-major-changes-to-cap-and-trade-program\">\u003cstrong>Amid opposition, California regulators approve major changes to cap-and-trade program\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In a controversial move, state regulators on Friday approved major changes to California’s cap-and-invest program at a lengthy board meeting that transpired over the course of two days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Air Resources Board (CARB) voted to create a $4 billion fund for big polluters to invest in \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2026-04/nc-MDIF%20FAQ_April%202026.pdf\">decarbonization projects\u003c/a>. Climate, affordable housing and transit advocates, however, worry the move might mean significantly less money for their programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But climate, affordable housing and transit advocates are skeptical as to whether those projects will truly materialize. They also worry that this new program could lower the value of allowances at auction, potentially resulting in less money for California’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom lauded the effort, saying it advances affordability while keeping the state on track to meet its climate targets. “California’s nation-leading cap-and-invest program has proven that we can cut pollution, create jobs, and invest in a cleaner future at the same time,” he wrote. “These are real results that Californians can see and feel.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regulators said they were doing their best to strike a balance that also keeps oil and gas companies viable. \u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>There is no direction to us, as an agency, to maximize one trade-off versus another,” said Rajinder Sahota, deputy executive officer for climate change and research at CARB. “What we’re trying to do is balance all of the pieces that we’re getting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Palm Springs sets world record\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>1,037 people donning white halter dresses and platinum blonde wigs descended on Palm Springs on Saturday afternoon, breaking the Guinness World Record for most Marilyn Monroe lookalikes in one place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rules were simple – blonde wig, white halter dress and red lipstick.

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. Under previous administrations, ICE sometimes violated the civil rights of immigrants — and its own policies — said Elena Hodges, an immigration attorney with Pangea Legal Services who’s part of the team representing Ulises. But now the intensity is escalating, she said. “This level of violence is becoming more common and is increasingly embraced as just the routine course of operations,” she said. “High-profile harms to people, where they end up in the hospital, their car window is smashed … that tracks with a new level of political acceptance and encouragement that we’re seeing from the Trump administration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past year, the administration has \u003ca href=\"https://www.epi.org/policywatch/trump-administration-closes-three-dhs-offices-focused-on-civil-rights-and-oversight/\">dismantled\u003c/a> many of the internal watchdog offices at the Department of Homeland Security, enabling agents to act with impunity, said Doris Meissner, a senior fellow at the non-partisan Migration Policy Institute in Washington, D.C. “So we are seeing them be more aggressive and less likely to be called to account,” Meissner said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12075670/california-officials-demand-ice-return-family-to-us-after-arrest-and-deportation\">\u003cstrong>California officials demand ICE return family to US after arrest and deportation\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/california\">California\u003c/a> officials and immigration attorneys are calling on the U.S. government to return a Bay Area mother and her two young children, one of whom has severe disabilities, after they were detained in San Francisco and deported last week. 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. The district is currently held by Democrat Mike Levin, Instead, Desmond began the filing process to run in the 48th District. That seat is currently held by Issa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These last minute changes come following the November passage of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/proposition-50\">Proposition 50,\u003c/a> which redrew California’s congressional district boundaries to be more favorable toward Democratic candidates.\u003c/p>\n\n",

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. Under previous administrations, ICE sometimes violated the civil rights of immigrants — and its own policies — said Elena Hodges, an immigration attorney with Pangea Legal Services who’s part of the team representing Ulises. But now the intensity is escalating, she said. “This level of violence is becoming more common and is increasingly embraced as just the routine course of operations,” she said. “High-profile harms to people, where they end up in the hospital, their car window is smashed … that tracks with a new level of political acceptance and encouragement that we’re seeing from the Trump administration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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 it’s also made a handful of blue districts even safer. That, Covey said, puts Democrats in a position to beat Republicans — who set off the mid-decade redistricting fight — at their own game nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In terms of the national redistricting outlook, I think that California is basically putting Democrats in a position where they may be able to fight this to a draw or at least limit Republicans to only picking up maybe three or four seats through redistricting alone,” Covey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s despite the fact that far more GOP-led states have moved to redraw their maps ahead of 2026 than blue states. Texas, the first to redraw its maps at the behest of President Donald Trump, just saw its new districts \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/redistricting-texas-map-blocked-lawsuit-trump-ab4dc519717c6661c63e116c9f26d899\">blocked\u003c/a> by a district court. It’s unclear whether that ruling will stand if the U.S. Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/19/supreme-court-texas-redistricting-case-00659035?utm_content=politico/magazine/Politics&utm_source=flipboard\">decides to weigh in\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Seats are going to flip as a result of these new maps [but] a lot of these maps cancel each other out. And so we’re in kind of an interesting situation where it may not be quite as good for Republicans as they anticipated going into this,” she said. “Without California, that would not have been possible because of the sheer number of seats that the California map affects. It really was a significant achievement on the part of Democrats and could potentially make the difference in the majority next year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a look at the biggest shifts under Proposition 50 — with thanks to Covey and the number crunchers over at the Cook Political Report for many of the data points below.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Congressional District 1\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The new North State district is seen as an easy pickup opportunities for Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District 1, currently held by Republican Doug LaMalfa, shifted west and now includes both Chico and Santa Rosa. Under the old map, Trump won the district by 25 points; under the new boundaries, he would have lost by 12. LaMalfa said he will run, but it’s going to be tough: State Senate President Mike McGuire, who has represented Sonoma County in the Legislature for 12 years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12063984/democrat-mike-mcguire-challenges-gop-rep-doug-lamalfa-for-new-prop-50-seat\">is in the race\u003c/a>, along with Audrey Denney, an educator and consultant who unsuccessfully challenged LaMalfa twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Congressional District 3\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>District 3, represented by Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley, now includes more of Sacramento County and shifts from a Trump +3 to a district former Vice President Kamala Harris would have won by double digits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two Democrats have announced their intention to run: Rep. Ami Bera and Nevada County Supervisor Heidi Hall. The big question, Covey said, is what Kiley does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He could choose to stay in the Third, which of course would be very tough,” she said. “He could move to the Sixth District, which is also a seat that Harris would’ve won by eight points in 2024. … And then the third option for Kiley outside of retiring or running for something else entirely would be to run in the Fifth District, which is Tom McClintock’s seat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClintock, a Republican, has been in Congress since 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>District 22\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Aside from 2018, when Central Valley GOP Rep. David Valadao fell victim to a blue tidal wave that swept Democrats into control of Congress, the 22nd District has been a thorn in the side of Democrats.[aside postID=news_12064030 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/GettyImages-2244069197_qed.jpg']Valadao has defied political gravity, winning over working-class Latino voters to hang on to a seat even when party registration favored Democrats. In 2024, he won by seven points to Trump’s six. But with the new Proposition 50 lines, the current 22nd would have favored Trump by less than two points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health care could be central here: six out of 10 residents are enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His biggest vulnerability going into this election is the impact that the Big Beautiful Bill has on health care, in particular Medicaid cuts,” Covey said. “The district has shifted to the right in recent years as a lot of the Hispanics in the Central Valley have become more and more open to voting for Trump.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether that holds after Trump’s immigration crackdown, and amid affordability concerns, is unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Democratic candidates are running, including \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/07/central-valley-congress-valadao-bains/\">Dr. Jasmeet Bains\u003c/a>, a moderate Bakersfield assemblymember and physician, and progressive Randy Villegas, who \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/bernie-sanders-endorses-randy-villegas-wading-democratic-fight-key-hou-rcna244291\">earned Sen. Bernie Sanders’ endorsement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>District 40\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This Southern California seat has the distinction of being the only California district made more Republican by Proposition 50.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange County Republican Rep. Young Kim currently holds it. But longtime Inland Empire Republican Rep. Ken Calvert plans to run there, setting up a potential clash between two strong GOP contenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Kim is well-liked in her district, the redrawn 40th District actually has more of Calvert’s current turf than Kim’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe Kim’s portion is about a third and Calvert’s portion is about half the district, so it makes sense that they would both want to run in this seat,” Covey said. “I think this will be a really competitive race.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim, she said, is an incredibly strong fundraiser and campaigner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has put up a really strong electoral performance in Orange County for the past couple of years for a Republican and has typically done better than Trump and won over Democratic voters,” Covey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Calvert is also a “heavyweight,” she added, who will likely run to Kim’s right — and could perform well among the conservative voters in the district’s eastern swath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s chairman of the Appropriations Committee. He’s been around forever,” Covey said. “He was also someone who I was wondering if he was maybe going to retire. And I guess he feels like he’s in a position where still has a very good shot at winning this district, even against Young Kim.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>District 48\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Speaking of retirements: All eyes are on longtime San Diego-area GOP Rep. Darrell Issa to see whether he stays in the newly drawn 48th District, which now slightly favors Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Issa could jump into the Kim-Calvert race in District 40 or lean on his immense personal wealth to compete in the new District 48, which now includes more of San Diego and liberal Palm Springs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever Issa decides, there will be plenty of competition on the other side of the aisle: \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/san-diego-councilmember-marni-von-wilpert-48th-district/3895370/\">Declared candidates\u003c/a> include San Diego City Councilwoman Marni von Wilpert and former Obama administration official Ammar Campa-Najjar, who previously ran unsuccessfully twice for Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

That, Covey said, puts Democrats in a position to beat Republicans — who set off the mid-decade redistricting fight — at their own game nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In terms of the national redistricting outlook, I think that California is basically putting Democrats in a position where they may be able to fight this to a draw or at least limit Republicans to only picking up maybe three or four seats through redistricting alone,” Covey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s despite the fact that far more GOP-led states have moved to redraw their maps ahead of 2026 than blue states. Texas, the first to redraw its maps at the behest of President Donald Trump, just saw its new districts \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/redistricting-texas-map-blocked-lawsuit-trump-ab4dc519717c6661c63e116c9f26d899\">blocked\u003c/a> by a district court. It’s unclear whether that ruling will stand if the U.S. Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/19/supreme-court-texas-redistricting-case-00659035?utm_content=politico/magazine/Politics&utm_source=flipboard\">decides to weigh in\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Seats are going to flip as a result of these new maps [but] a lot of these maps cancel each other out. And so we’re in kind of an interesting situation where it may not be quite as good for Republicans as they anticipated going into this,” she said. “Without California, that would not have been possible because of the sheer number of seats that the California map affects. It really was a significant achievement on the part of Democrats and could potentially make the difference in the majority next year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Ami Bera and Nevada County Supervisor Heidi Hall. The big question, Covey said, is what Kiley does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He could choose to stay in the Third, which of course would be very tough,” she said. “He could move to the Sixth District, which is also a seat that Harris would’ve won by eight points in 2024. … And then the third option for Kiley outside of retiring or running for something else entirely would be to run in the Fifth District, which is Tom McClintock’s seat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClintock, a Republican, has been in Congress since 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>District 22\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Aside from 2018, when Central Valley GOP Rep.

In 2024, he won by seven points to Trump’s six. But with the new Proposition 50 lines, the current 22nd would have favored Trump by less than two points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health care could be central here: six out of 10 residents are enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His biggest vulnerability going into this election is the impact that the Big Beautiful Bill has on health care, in particular Medicaid cuts,” Covey said. “The district has shifted to the right in recent years as a lot of the Hispanics in the Central Valley have become more and more open to voting for Trump.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether that holds after Trump’s immigration crackdown, and amid affordability concerns, is unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Democratic candidates are running, including \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/07/central-valley-congress-valadao-bains/\">Dr. Jasmeet Bains\u003c/a>, a moderate Bakersfield assemblymember and physician, and progressive Randy Villegas, who \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/bernie-sanders-endorses-randy-villegas-wading-democratic-fight-key-hou-rcna244291\">earned Sen.

He’s been around forever,” Covey said. “He was also someone who I was wondering if he was maybe going to retire.
