Today from Mission Local

Good afternoon!

ICE agents arrested a man outside his home on Mangel Avenue in the Sunnyside this morning. The man was later seen being escorted into the ICE field office. Watch the video here.

As the election approaches, Yujie Zhou asks the candidates for Nancy Pelosi’s former congressional seat how they would wield power, and what approaches they’d take with colleagues and opponents. Very interesting, and pretty frank, responses.

San Francisco is facing deep budget cuts, and we’ve got an excellent, clear report on the city’s $16 billion โ€”yes, that’s right, $16 billionโ€”budget. See which departments grew or shrunk in the 2025-26 fiscal year, and what to expect next.

See you tonight at 7PM when Joe Eskenazi talks with Bloomberg tech reporter and podcaster Shawn Wen. Joe will discuss theย Bob Lee murder, a case that helped fuel the San Francisco “doom loop” narrative.

More soon,

Sara
