California Begins to Shut Down Its Youth Prison SystemIn a historic change, California’s youth prisons will stop taking in new offenders in July. In 2023, all state juvenile detention facilities will close and responsibility for youth offenders will shift to counties. The state’s youth lockups have long been plagued by scandals and allegations of mistreatment. The move to smaller, local facilities is intended to provide a less punitive approach and increase rehabilitation and access to services. But some advocates for youth offenders worry conditions will get worse when counties take control. As counties formulate their plans ahead of the closures, we’ll talk about what juvenile justice may look like in California’s near future.

Biden's Overhaul of US-Mexico Border Policy Faces Early ChallengesHomeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Monday that the Biden administration will seek to reunite hundreds of migrant children with their families – either in the United States or in their country of origin – who were separated under Trump-era zero tolerance policies. The pledge comes as officials undertake a massive overhaul of the nation's border policies, including the elimination of Trump's Migrant Protection Protocols, which required asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while their claims were processed. We'll talk about what the policy shifts mean and how immigration officials plan to handle what Mayorkas called a "stressful challenge" at the border.

The Takeaway
Voting Rights ActThe Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Tuesday in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, a case out of Arizona that focuses on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Section 2 bans "any voting standard, practice or procedure that results in the denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen to vote on account of race, color or membership in a language minority group." The Takeaway talks about what’s at stake and what a ruling in the case could mean for the many new bills up for consideration in states across the country as part of a push to roll back the expanded access to the ballot box we saw in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
