Good afternoon!
Powerful reporting today from Kelly Waldron and Frankie Solinsky Duryea, who pieced together data to follow the path of more than 2,000 ICE arrests in the “San Francisco Area of Responsibility,” which covers Northern California, Hawaii, Guam, and Saipan. As well as data, though, they found compelling stories: read these interviews with deported immigrants Mission Local tracked down.
Well, once again the Navy and city officials are telling Bayview residents they have nothing to worry about from radiation at the former Hunters Point Shipyard. Residents are not buying it.
Over in the Tenderloin, the city’s trying a new strategy to address drug dealing: banning cars from certain blocks. One resident asked if the police had “any plans to try to actually combat the issue of them going right back after you guys have left.”
And neighbors concerned about conditions on 16th and Mission failed to overturn an affordable housing project planned for the northeast plaza.
More soon,
