Redistricting in the San Joaquin Valley
In just over three weeks, California voters will decide whether to redraw the state’s congressional maps to give Democrats an edge ahead of the 2026 midterm election. One of the regions that could be heavily impacted is the San Joaquin Valley, particularly rural and Latino-majority regions. CalMatters Politics Reporter Maya C. Miller joins Insight to share her reporting about how districts in the Valley could change, and how local voters are responding to these efforts.

Trump Administration Fires Immigration Judges
The Trump Administration continues to ramp up immigration enforcement, with ICE agents and National Guard troops deployed to cities across the country. And federal efforts to crack down are not solely focused on detainment, but also removing the judges that oversee immigration cases. Last month the administration fired dozens of immigration judges across the country, including three in Sacramento. These removals have raised alarms, and some within the judicial community are warning of a potential “chilling effect” for years to come. CapRadio Statehouse Politics Reporter Gerardo Zavala breaks down some of the reactions to these firings, and what the impacts are on local immigrants that need their legal services.
