About this episode

The episode discusses the competitive CA-48 Congressional race, immigration enforcement in San Diego, and the rise in e-bike crashes.

After primary ballots have been sent to voters, KPBS is breaking down all the races. Among the most competitive is the race for the newly redrawn 48th Congressional District. On KPBS Roundtable, we hear more about political makeup of the district, the candidates, and the issues at the center of the race. Then, is San Diego prepared for a large-scale federal immigration crackdown? We look at the city's plans and some of the most recent immigration news locally, from new data on removals to the arrests of cruise workers. And finally, e-bike collisions across San Diego are rising. We dig into the latest data, and the push for new rules and regulations around their use.
