[Lew] was basically also comparing ICE with CHP, where ICE is treated differently by our sanctuary laws. We have prohibited our employees from cooperating with ICE. We cannot prevent them from coming into San Francisco, we cannot prevent them from detaining and deporting people, but what we can do is ensure that they are identifying themselves. We can ensure that they’re following due process and, of course, abiding by our basic local public safety and traffic laws.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That also has to be reconciled with our sanctuary city law, where we’re not allowed to assist ICE or agents for routine operations, investigations or raids.

He’s now making up to 40 deliveries a day, using his store’s truck and rotating staff. “I was thinking to do something. Not just for the store but for the clients, for all the neighborhood,” Saeed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saeed moved to California from Yemen when he was 13. He lived in Bakersfield, and now he’s in Fresno, where his family runs several food centers. But he opened this Dinuba store on his own.

Behind the counter is Mohmaed Saeed. He opened the store back in March. In towns like Dinuba in the Central Valley, immigrants make up much of the workforce. Now, stepped-up immigration enforcement isn’t just stoking fear, it’s threatening small businesses like Saeed’s and putting entire neighborhoods on edge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With many residents worried about going to work or even in some cases, going outside at all, Saeed launched a home delivery service. He’s now making up to 40 deliveries a day, using his store’s truck and rotating staff. “I was thinking to do something. Not just for the store but for the clients, for all the neighborhood,” Saeed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saeed moved to California from Yemen when he was 13. He lived in Bakersfield, and now he’s in Fresno, where his family runs several food centers. But he opened this Dinuba store on his own. And he remembers how much the neighborhood showed up for him when he first opened. “They said, ‘We just want to help. We’re happy to see a new business here.’ I’m not going to forget that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12046558/california-lawmakers-approve-major-overhaul-of-landmark-environmental-law\">California Lawmakers Approve Major Overhaul Of Landmark Environmental Law\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After weeks of tense negotiations with Gov.
