Paraguay’s base camp is at SJSU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both team hotels for the tournament are in San José. The venue-specific training site is at PayPal Park.

The team’s base camp remains at SJSU through the group stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Monday’s open practice, fans from across the region watched as coaches barked instructions and players moved around the field practicing drills. Kar Burgess, who drove over from the East Bay with his father, Evan, said the experience had made him an instant convert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My favorite part was seeing how the intensity is always high and never drops, even when they’re just training,” the young fan said.

A judge will decide his sentence later. He has been in custody in juvenile hall during the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision Friday by Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Andrea Flint follows a trial that ended Monday. During the trial, a public defender for the suspect argued the stabbing was self-defense, while prosecutors said the suspect is a gang member who was picking fights that evening at the high-end shopping center and the Westfield Valley Fair Mall across the street, according to reporting by \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2026/05/18/defense-lawyers-in-santana-row-teen-murder-trial-say-suspect-was-frightened-teenager-defending-himself/\">The Mercury News\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flint said there was not sufficient evidence to support a first-degree murder conviction because it wasn’t clear the suspect intended to kill David, but that the suspect “deliberately acted with conscious disregard for human life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the court hearing on Friday, District Attorney Jeff Rosen said he would ask the judge to sentence the suspect to seven years in a secure youth treatment facility at Juvenile Hall, despite state law that requires a child to be 14 years of age or older when committing a serious crime to be eligible for such a sentence. Younger defendants typically face months in a youth camp rather than years in juvenile hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The minor who committed this horrible crime is now more than 14 years old. And we believe that the maximum commitment in juvenile is appropriate to provide the minor with an opportunity to rehabilitate himself and therefore an opportunity upon release to no longer be a danger to the community,” Rosen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12085046\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12085046\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/260522-Santana-Row-stabbing-verdict-JG-02-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/260522-Santana-Row-stabbing-verdict-JG-02-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/260522-Santana-Row-stabbing-verdict-JG-02-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/260522-Santana-Row-stabbing-verdict-JG-02-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen speaks during a press conference on Friday, May 22, 2026, outside of the juvenile court in San José. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Otherwise, we’re looking at the minor being released in a matter of months.

David’s family has protested and called for harsher penalties for the suspect, asking for him to be treated as an adult for his crime. But state law prohibits a person who is younger than 16 at the time of a crime from being transferred to adult court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the press conference on Friday, David’s mother, Veronica Gutierrez, thanked prosecutors and police investigators for their work and remembered her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was a wonderful kid.

Cruz Lopez, who has lived in the U.S. for 20 years and has been a DACA recipient for 10, said she submitted her renewal paperwork four months before it was set to expire in February. When her status lapsed, her job offered her a 60-day unpaid leave, but on April 15, she said they had to let her go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It offered a lot of protection,” Cruz Lopez said on Forum. “It also allowed me to work, and my job offered benefits: health insurance, vision, dental. All the basic necessities.

It also requests that DHS and USCIS provide the current processing times and pending application totals for each Bay Area district, as well as details about how any policy or procedural changes since the Trump administration took office might be affecting those timelines, and what steps are being taken to accelerate processing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It requests responses in writing by next Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is certainly my belief that sunlight is the best disinfectant,” Liccardo said. “If we’re able to force disclosure of this kind of information to the public, we may actually prod some better action in the bureaucracy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Cruz Lopez, who has lived in the U.S. for 20 years and has been a DACA recipient for 10, said she submitted her renewal paperwork four months before it was set to expire in February. When her status lapsed, her job offered her a 60-day unpaid leave, but on April 15, she said they had to let her go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It offered a lot of protection,” Cruz Lopez said on Forum. “It also allowed me to work, and my job offered benefits: health insurance, vision, dental. All the basic necessities. That’s what I relied on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also said DACA status offers protection from Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a growing concern as the Trump administration ramps up detention and deportation efforts across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter said that between January and September 2025, at least 270 Dreamers were arrested, and 174 were deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This administration, at a minimum, is exploiting bureaucratic sloth, but it could be much worse,” Liccardo said. “This could be deliberately stalling these DACA renewals to help DHS make its numbers for deportations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter asks USCIS to respond with a list of what, if any, data it shares with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It also requests that DHS and USCIS provide the current processing times and pending application totals for each Bay Area district, as well as details about how any policy or procedural changes since the Trump administration took office might be affecting those timelines, and what steps are being taken to accelerate processing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It requests responses in writing by next Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is certainly my belief that sunlight is the best disinfectant,” Liccardo said. “If we’re able to force disclosure of this kind of information to the public, we may actually prod some better action in the bureaucracy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Each episode features a diverse mix of interviews, profiles, storytelling, and an occasional burst of humor inspired by the magazine, and shaped by its writers, artists, and editors. This isn't a radio version of a magazine, but something all its own, reflecting the rich possibilities of audio storytelling and conversation. Theme music for the show was composed and performed by Merrill Garbus of tUnE-YArDs.",
