"content": "\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/san-jose\">San José \u003c/a>will be the first California city to host a Professional Women’s Hockey League team — a milestone that organizers and athletes celebrate for the future of women’s sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team, which has yet to be named, will begin playing in Dec. 2026, the league announced Tuesday at a packed press conference at SAP Center. The team will share the arena with the National Hockey League’s San José Sharks, while the American Hockey League’s San José Barracuda will continue to play nearby at Tech CU Arena. The move makes San José the only U.S. city to host teams from the NHL, AHL and PWHL.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement came together fast, said Jonathan Becher, president of Sharks Sports and Entertainment, who shared that formal negotiations took roughly two and a half weeks after years of trying to land the team, including an unsuccessful bid during the league’s last expansion round. “We’ve been hounding them for a long time, but they’ve been great to deal with,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Season ticket deposits opened Tuesday and were already well above the league’s first-day expectations, according to Becher, who declined to share the specific number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheduling around the Sharks and the arena’s more than 100 annual events will take some coordination, Becher acknowledged.

Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office argued in filings that the defense’s “claims are meritless, and recusal is not required.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Singh, in his motion, raised several issues about Rosen’s conduct during the lead up to the charges of the protesters and their prosecution, and the trial. He said Rosen had labeled protesters as antisemitic, because of his inclusion of the case on his campaign page about “fighting antisemitism.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That webpage was sent in an email blast to over 600 people in L.A. County advertising a fundraiser for Rosen. The page also included a video recording of a speech Rosen gave to a nonprofit organization that supports Jewish college students. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Paul cited the video in court, saying Rosen said “fighting for Jews and for Israel is fighting for America, that antisemitism is anti-Americanism, that antisemitism is un-American.” She also said Rosen criticized the group Students for Justice in Palestine. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Paul also referred to a 2020 San Luis Obispo County case where the District Attorney, Dan Dow, had fundraised around his prosecution of Black Lives Matters protesters marching in the streets after the police murder of George Floyd, which was cited by Singh in his motion. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A trial court there disqualified Dow, and an appeals court upheld the decision, because of his “well-publicized association with critics of the Black Lives Matter movement.” The case was known as the Lastra ruling, based on one of the defendants’ names. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The court agrees with the defense that the videos and articles posted on the fighting antisemitism campaign page must be considered together as a whole,” Paul said. “In an age of digital media, this page and the email blast…parallels” the conflict in the Lastra case, she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“This is a conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor, trespass and a felony vandalism case, plain and simple. It is not a hate crime case and the characterization of the prosecution of this case as a fight against antisemitism, as part and parcel of a fundraising campaign, runs afoul of Lastra,” Paul said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12082849\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12082849\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/260507-DARECUSAL-KQED-2-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/260507-DARECUSAL-KQED-2-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/260507-DARECUSAL-KQED-2-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/260507-DARECUSAL-KQED-2-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deputy Public Defender Avi Singh, German Gonzalez and Maya Burke smile after walking out of a San José court on Thursday, May 7, where Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen’s office was disqualified from their vandalism case by a judge due to a conflict of interest. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sharon Loughner, the Deputy Attorney General representing Bonta’s office, argued previously in court filings that the protesters’ arguments “fail to present direct evidence of DA Rosen labeling them ‘antisemitic’,” and that Rosen’s public statements “consist of ideologically neutral comments with no financial solicitations.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Loughner said prosecutors are allowed under the First Amendment to express their political views, and “may continue to fundraise while in office provided those efforts are not tied to biased speech.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Paul, on Thursday, said Rosen, as a DA, a citizen and a candidate, has rights to express his opinions and take stances against issues like antisemitism, but she admonished that “caution and care” need to be used. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During court arguments over the request for recusal from Singh last month, Paul ordered Rosen’s campaign to turn over fundraising records connected with an event in December in Los Angeles, and allowed Singh to subpoena other documents from outside parties. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an interview last month with the Bay Area News Group’s editorial board about his campaign for re-election, Rosen “grew visibly heated” when asked about the monetization allegations, according to \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2026/04/21/santa-clara-da-jeff-rosen-recusal-stanford-vandalism-fundraising-records/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mercury News\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rosen said DAs often campaign on their prosecutions, and said he hasn’t faced challenges about other cases, but said because he is Jewish, this case is being treated differently. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“But in this case, because it’s about antisemitism, and it’s because I’m a Jew, it’s the oldest f***ing antisemitic trope.

He said Rosen had labeled protesters as antisemitic, because of his inclusion of the case on his campaign page about “fighting antisemitism.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That webpage was sent in an email blast to over 600 people in L.A.
