ICE facility's nonprofit landlord; 75th Assembly District race; Tijuana journalism
About this episode
The episode discusses the conditions in ICE facilities, the California Assembly District race, and journalism in Tijuana.
Right now, more than 5,000 people are being held in California's eight Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities. That includes the Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Calexico. A KPBS investigation found that the facility's nonprofit owner has received millions in tax breaks for more than a decade. Plus, we take a look into the race for California's 75th Assembly District seat, with incumbent Carl DeMaio and challenger Gerald Boursiquot. And, we highlight journalists telling stories in Tijuana and what it means to be a reporter in the region. Guests: Kori Suzuki , South Bay and Imperial Valley reporter, KPBS Scott Rodd , investigative reporter, KPBS Matthew Bowler videojournalist, KPBS
