Today from Mission Local

Good afternoon!

A little more than a month after a Waymo killed KitKat, the beloved cat at Randa’s Market, there’s a new feline on the scene. Oscar Palma introduces Coco.

Alan Wong, the new D4 supervisor, has been a progressive, then a moderate; worked with unions, then the law-and-order group Stop Crime SF. Yujie Zhou reports on Wong’s mixed allegiancesโ€”and his support of the mayor’s upzoning plan.

Immigration enforcement has been changing a lot in San Francisco over the last three months.ย Neil G. Ballard and Sage Rรญos Mace put together an ย illustrated timeline of key events.

And Kelly Waldron looks at the data, disovering that in September ICE arrested more people in Northern California without a criminal record than with one.

More soon,
