CA Dems Response to Federal Immigration Enforcement

Border patrol traveled hundreds of miles north to the state Capitol, conducting a raid at a Home Depot in Sacramento. This latest show of force in immigration enforcement comes as the Trump Administration publicly touts the idea of reopening Alcatraz as a federal prison. POLITICO Politics Reporter Lindsey Holden provides an update on the latest actions from the federal government in California, and how state leaders are responding.

‘Manitos’ Group for Latino Elders

For nearly 30 years, a group of Latino seniors in Sacramento have gathered weekly to connect. Manitos was created in 1998 as a way for Spanish speaking elders to fight isolation. In that time, the group has grown as a welcoming space to anyone who wants to celebrate growing old together. CapRadio Reporter Gerardo Zavala shares his reporting from a recent meeting. We’re also joined by Manitos founder Maria Lueras, as well as artist and documentarian Janine Mapurunga who is leading a project to help members record and share their histories before they’re lost.
