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.

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.

The law redrew political boundaries for congressional districts. And one of the communities soon to have new congressional representation in Washington DC is Coalinga. This small, agricultural town on Fresno County’s west side is now going to be part of a district that stretches more than 100 miles to the north. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Former state assemblymember Ian Calderon is dropping out of the governor’s race and throwing his support behind Democratic Congressmember Eric Swalwell.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArtP-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/government-politics/2026-02-27/a-tiny-california-farm-town-will-join-a-house-district-that-touches-silicon-valley\">\u003cstrong>A tiny California farm town will join a House district that touches Silicon Valley\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A new law, Proposition 50, is reshaping California’s political boundaries, and one rural town in the Central Valley is feeling the impact. Prop 50, which was overwhelmingly approved by California voters last fall, redrew congressional district lines across the state. The move came as Democratic leaders sought to counter political efforts in Texas to redraw congressional maps in favor of Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California’s rural San Joaquin Valley, one of the communities that has landed in a newly configured district is Coalinga. This agricultural town of 17,000 in western Fresno County will now be part of Congressional District 18. The district covers a region that stretches over 100 miles northwest to Gilroy, Salinas, and even San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The town, which is tucked in the western hills of the Valley, is surrounded by oil fields and farmland. It’s the kind of place where people grow up, leave, and then return. It’s also a place where everybody knows everybody. Robert Pimentel, the chancellor of the West Hills Community College District, has lived that life. He calls Coalinga, “a little jewel out here on the west side.” He says Coalinga used to be powered by prisons, a state hospital, and oil fields. Slowly, that’s been changing – just as political representation has. Before Prop 50, Coalinga belonged to Congressional District 13 and was represented by Democratic Congressman Adam Gray. Now under District 18, the town will be represented by Democratic Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren if she is reelected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this politically conservative town, that shift has sparked mixed reactions. In 2024, most voters here supported President Donald Trump. Theresa Dancses says she sees the change as being part of a “tit-for-tat” over redistricting going on nationally, and she worries about losing Republican representation in the process. Her biggest concern? Agriculture. “I think that’ll be overlooked big time, because we already don’t get enough water,” Dancses says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Debbie Hill, a Coalinga resident and lifelong Republican, says Democratic leaders don’t reflect her values. “I’m a Republican all my life,” Hill says. “I vote Republican, and so I want a Republican, not a Democrat woman, because I don’t even like having a Democrat governor.” She worries that lawmakers may not fully understand communities like Coalinga, or even know where the town is located.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congresswoman Lofgren says she recognizes that the Valley is different, which presents its challenges but also some opportunities.

The law redrew political boundaries for congressional districts. And one of the communities soon to have new congressional representation in Washington DC is Coalinga. This small, agricultural town on Fresno County’s west side is now going to be part of a district that stretches more than 100 miles to the north. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Former state assemblymember Ian Calderon is dropping out of the governor’s race and throwing his support behind Democratic Congressmember Eric Swalwell.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArtP-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/government-politics/2026-02-27/a-tiny-california-farm-town-will-join-a-house-district-that-touches-silicon-valley\">\u003cstrong>A tiny California farm town will join a House district that touches Silicon Valley\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A new law, Proposition 50, is reshaping California’s political boundaries, and one rural town in the Central Valley is feeling the impact. Prop 50, which was overwhelmingly approved by California voters last fall, redrew congressional district lines across the state. The move came as Democratic leaders sought to counter political efforts in Texas to redraw congressional maps in favor of Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California’s rural San Joaquin Valley, one of the communities that has landed in a newly configured district is Coalinga. This agricultural town of 17,000 in western Fresno County will now be part of Congressional District 18. The district covers a region that stretches over 100 miles northwest to Gilroy, Salinas, and even San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The town, which is tucked in the western hills of the Valley, is surrounded by oil fields and farmland. It’s the kind of place where people grow up, leave, and then return. It’s also a place where everybody knows everybody. Robert Pimentel, the chancellor of the West Hills Community College District, has lived that life. He calls Coalinga, “a little jewel out here on the west side.” He says Coalinga used to be powered by prisons, a state hospital, and oil fields. Slowly, that’s been changing – just as political representation has. Before Prop 50, Coalinga belonged to Congressional District 13 and was represented by Democratic Congressman Adam Gray. Now under District 18, the town will be represented by Democratic Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren if she is reelected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this politically conservative town, that shift has sparked mixed reactions. In 2024, most voters here supported President Donald Trump. Theresa Dancses says she sees the change as being part of a “tit-for-tat” over redistricting going on nationally, and she worries about losing Republican representation in the process. Her biggest concern? Agriculture. “I think that’ll be overlooked big time, because we already don’t get enough water,” Dancses says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Over a year since it passed, counties like Sacramento are grappling with how to pay for growing treatment and incarceration expenses without funding help from the state. The costs could mean counties will have to pay millions of dollars more each year as they struggle with already strained budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure turned \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/BallotAnalysis/Proposition?number=36&year=2024\">some misdemeanor drug and theft crimes into felonies\u003c/a> and lengthened certain prison sentences. That, in turn, put pressure on local court systems and law enforcement departments. It also created what is called a “treatment-mandated felony”. It gives certain offenders the option of getting their charges dismissed upon the completion of optional mental health or drug-related treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of its passage, the California Legislative Analyst’s Office determined the increase in court specific work and county jail populations would \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/BallotAnalysis/Proposition?number=36&year=2024\">result in millions of dollars in increased costs for counties. \u003c/a>The governor’s budget outlook for the 2026-2027 fiscal year does not include any money for Proposition 36. When the state released its January budget, California Association of Counties CEO Graham Knaus criticized the lack of funding. “You can’t implement anything for free,” he said. “If there’s an expectation of a higher level of service, then it needs to be funded, or else counties can’t carry it out and it’s guaranteed to fail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott Graves, budget director with the California Budget and Policy Center, said Proposition 36 is what is called a “ballot box budgeting measure”. “The authors of the measure did not provide, as a part of Prop 36, any way to pay for these new services,” Graves said. “As a result, they ended up putting state and local policy makers in a pretty tough position.” Though Graves could not comment on why exactly the authors did not include a funding mechanism, but did say generally that measures with tax increases attached to them are sometimes not popular with voters.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Over a year since it passed, counties like Sacramento are grappling with how to pay for growing treatment and incarceration expenses without funding help from the state.

When the state released its January budget, California Association of Counties CEO Graham Knaus criticized the lack of funding. “You can’t implement anything for free,” he said. “If there’s an expectation of a higher level of service, then it needs to be funded, or else counties can’t carry it out and it’s guaranteed to fail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Doctors worry more cases are coming amid a “super bloom” of death caps, sparked by early rains and warm temperatures in the fall. “We anticipate that these mushrooms could continue to be fruiting in abundance throughout the rainy season in California,” said Dr. Craig Smollin, medical director of the San Francisco division of the California Poison Control System.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants from Mexico and China make up a disproportionate number of the cases, as death caps, or \u003cem>Amanita phalloides\u003c/em>, look very similar to edible mushrooms that grow in those countries. The California Department of Public Health released a\u003ca href=\"https://flow.page/poisonousmushroomsafety\"> series of fact sheets and videos\u003c/a> on Wednesday in multiple languages,\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtmNeRXD3Cg\"> including Mixteco\u003c/a>, an indigenous language of Mexico spoken by communities in Monterey County, where the first poisonings emerged in November. Since then, people have been treated in hospitals throughout the Bay Area after eating mushrooms found in the Oakland Hills, Stinson Beach and Pinnacles National Park, among other sites, though Smollin said that they grow along the West Coast and that no part of California is a death cap-free zone. Some dogs have also died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Symptoms of death cap poisoning include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and can occur 6 to 24 hours after ingestion. Extreme cases can lead to liver failure, necessitating an urgent liver transplant or death. Cooking, boiling or freezing the mushrooms does not inactivate the toxin. “A single bite of the mushroom could cause significant toxicity,” Smollin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local mushroom experts and enthusiasts have bemoaned the state’s messaging around the poisonings as narrow and fear-based. Many would prefer to see an emphasis on education, rather than a prohibition on all foraging, and point out that touching, smelling and looking at mushrooms is safe. “There’s a lot more nuance,” said Debbie Viess, co-founder of the Bay Area Mycological Society. “It’s much more important to steer people to places where they can educate themselves about the safety and the dangers of eating wild mushrooms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12069825/federal-judges-uphold-californias-new-congressional-maps-favoring-democrats\">\u003cstrong>Federal Judges Uphold California’s New Congressional Maps Favoring Democrats\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A three-judge panel ruled Wednesday that the new congressional maps \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12062781/proposition-50-passes-in-california-boosting-democrats-in-fight-for-us-house-control\">created by California voters\u003c/a> in the fall are legal and should remain in place, handing a win to state Democrats who hope the new districts will swing five congressional seats for their party next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling denies a request by California Republicans and the Trump administration for the federal court in Los Angeles to issue a preliminary injunction blocking the maps \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064834/how-prop-50-just-rewrote-californias-2026-congressional-map\">created by Proposition 50\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 117-page \u003ca href=\"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.994285/gov.uscourts.cacd.994285.216.0.pdf\">ruling\u003c/a>, the federal judges rejected GOP arguments that the new maps amounted to racial gerrymandering, which has been prohibited by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Doctors worry more cases are coming amid a “super bloom” of death caps, sparked by early rains and warm temperatures in the fall. “We anticipate that these mushrooms could continue to be fruiting in abundance throughout the rainy season in California,” said Dr. Craig Smollin, medical director of the San Francisco division of the California Poison Control System.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants from Mexico and China make up a disproportionate number of the cases, as death caps, or \u003cem>Amanita phalloides\u003c/em>, look very similar to edible mushrooms that grow in those countries. The California Department of Public Health released a\u003ca href=\"https://flow.page/poisonousmushroomsafety\"> series of fact sheets and videos\u003c/a> on Wednesday in multiple languages,\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtmNeRXD3Cg\"> including Mixteco\u003c/a>, an indigenous language of Mexico spoken by communities in Monterey County, where the first poisonings emerged in November. Since then, people have been treated in hospitals throughout the Bay Area after eating mushrooms found in the Oakland Hills, Stinson Beach and Pinnacles National Park, among other sites, though Smollin said that they grow along the West Coast and that no part of California is a death cap-free zone. Some dogs have also died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Symptoms of death cap poisoning include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and can occur 6 to 24 hours after ingestion. Extreme cases can lead to liver failure, necessitating an urgent liver transplant or death. Cooking, boiling or freezing the mushrooms does not inactivate the toxin. “A single bite of the mushroom could cause significant toxicity,” Smollin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many would prefer to see an emphasis on education, rather than a prohibition on all foraging, and point out that touching, smelling and looking at mushrooms is safe. “There’s a lot more nuance,” said Debbie Viess, co-founder of the Bay Area Mycological Society. “It’s much more important to steer people to places where they can educate themselves about the safety and the dangers of eating wild mushrooms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12069825/federal-judges-uphold-californias-new-congressional-maps-favoring-democrats\">\u003cstrong>Federal Judges Uphold California’s New Congressional Maps Favoring Democrats\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A three-judge panel ruled Wednesday that the new congressional maps \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12062781/proposition-50-passes-in-california-boosting-democrats-in-fight-for-us-house-control\">created by California voters\u003c/a> in the fall are legal and should remain in place, handing a win to state Democrats who hope the new districts will swing five congressional seats for their party next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling denies a request by California Republicans and the Trump administration for the federal court in Los Angeles to issue a preliminary injunction blocking the maps \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064834/how-prop-50-just-rewrote-californias-2026-congressional-map\">created by Proposition 50\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 117-page \u003ca href=\"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.994285/gov.uscourts.cacd.994285.216.0.pdf\">ruling\u003c/a>, the federal judges rejected GOP arguments that the new maps amounted to racial gerrymandering, which has been prohibited by the U.S. Supreme Court.

A 38-year-old actor and writer in Los Angeles, Miller adapts scripts and does some voiceover work. But, artificial intelligence has upended that corner of the industry. “I no longer can afford to remain a creative. I have been trying to find a job for two years,” Miller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s about to get worse. Miller’s health insurance is increasing by 60% — hundreds of dollars more each month — money Miller and his husband don’t have to spare. “We are suffering. We have not been able to pay our mortgage half the year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller is like a lot of others right now in California. With Congress still undecided on whether to extend pandemic-era Affordable Care Act subsidies, hundreds of thousands of Californians are preparing for substantial increases in health insurance premiums beginning next year. Carin Lenk Sloane has lived in Davis for the past 26 years. “And now my husband and I are both talking about leaving the U.S. to go to a country where we are not being forced into debt just so that we can have basic healthcare,” she said. Right now, she pays $1,500 a month to cover herself, her husband, and their daughter in college. Next year, the same high deductible plan through Covered California will be well more than double. “Upwards of $44,000 for us next year,” Sloane said. “We just don’t know where we’re gonna find the money to make that happen.” She’s even considering going without healthcare coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064030/justice-department-joins-gop-lawsuit-to-block-proposition-50-map\">\u003cstrong>Justice Department Joins GOP Lawsuit To Block Proposition 50 Map\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice on Thursday joined a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12063055/california-republicans-sue-over-proposition-50-alleging-unconstitutional-racial-bias\">lawsuit to block\u003c/a> new congressional district lines approved by California voters last week through \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12062781/proposition-50-passes-in-california-boosting-democrats-in-fight-for-us-house-control\">Proposition 50\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov.

A 38-year-old actor and writer in Los Angeles, Miller adapts scripts and does some voiceover work. But, artificial intelligence has upended that corner of the industry. “I no longer can afford to remain a creative. I have been trying to find a job for two years,” Miller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s about to get worse. Miller’s health insurance is increasing by 60% — hundreds of dollars more each month — money Miller and his husband don’t have to spare. “We are suffering. We have not been able to pay our mortgage half the year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller is like a lot of others right now in California. With Congress still undecided on whether to extend pandemic-era Affordable Care Act subsidies, hundreds of thousands of Californians are preparing for substantial increases in health insurance premiums beginning next year. Carin Lenk Sloane has lived in Davis for the past 26 years. “And now my husband and I are both talking about leaving the U.S. to go to a country where we are not being forced into debt just so that we can have basic healthcare,” she said. Right now, she pays $1,500 a month to cover herself, her husband, and their daughter in college. Next year, the same high deductible plan through Covered California will be well more than double. “Upwards of $44,000 for us next year,” Sloane said. “We just don’t know where we’re gonna find the money to make that happen.” She’s even considering going without healthcare coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064030/justice-department-joins-gop-lawsuit-to-block-proposition-50-map\">\u003cstrong>Justice Department Joins GOP Lawsuit To Block Proposition 50 Map\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice on Thursday joined a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12063055/california-republicans-sue-over-proposition-50-alleging-unconstitutional-racial-bias\">lawsuit to block\u003c/a> new congressional district lines approved by California voters last week through \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12062781/proposition-50-passes-in-california-boosting-democrats-in-fight-for-us-house-control\">Proposition 50\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The DOJ argues that it is not necessary to draw districts where a majority of voters are Latino because white California voters often prefer candidates of various races and ethnicities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Recent elections show that Hispanics have not struggled to elect politicians of their choice in California,” the complaint said. “That is because results in California are largely driven by party-bloc voting, not race-bloc voting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/how-would-the-prop-50-redistricting-plan-affect-racial-and-geographic-representation/\">analysis\u003c/a> by the Public Policy Institute of California found that the Proposition 50 map has the same number of majority-Latino districts (16) as the maps enacted by the independent commission in 2021, which have been used in the last two congressional elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the lawsuit quotes supporters of Proposition 50 touting the Latino-majority districts, Newsom and Democratic leaders in the state Legislature argued throughout the campaign that the purpose of the maps was explicitly partisan: to help Democrats retake the House. That could help the state thwart a challenge under the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These losers lost at the ballot box and soon they will also lose in court,” said Brandon Richards, a spokesman for Newsom, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The passage of Proposition 50 has scrambled the electoral playing field ahead of California’s June primary. Sonoma State University professor David McCuan said the measure could face more legal challenges from Republicans facing political headwinds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could see half a dozen to a dozen [lawsuits]. … challenging both the process of how Prop. 50 got to the ballot and the constitutional legal questions related to Proposition 50 itself,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
