On Monday, the department \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/usao-edca/pr/six-additional-aliens-charged-illegal-voting-counties-fresno-kings-sacramento-solano\">announced charges\u003c/a> against 12 more people in California. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the defendants are not charged with illegally voting, but with illegally registering to vote or lying on their naturalization applications. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More court appearances are set for the coming days and weeks. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legal experts say that to gain convictions for illegal voting, prosecutors must prove that these people willfully committed a crime, which could be difficult. Regardless of any criminal convictions, even legal residents could be deported whether or not they knew they were breaking the law.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The cases and the people\u003c/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twenty-three of those accused are from Southern California, six are from the Bay Area, four are from the Sacramento region, and seven are from Fresno County and the Central Valley. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of those arrested in the mid-October sweep, 72-year-old Omar Muñoz of Commerce, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kcrw.com/shows/kcrw-reports/stories/he-was-arrested-for-noncitizen-voting-but-doesnt-know-why?srsltid=AYCX9vJ7W0oSaW66PdUm7gOZNXvIXCkWqYU2c-Luy-m4G6_GS1Aak_Xc\">told KCRW\u003c/a> that six police vehicles, a helicopter and at least six reporters arrived at his home just after 5 a.m. on Oct. 19. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“It’s a show,” Muñoz told the station. “I said, ‘Wow!’ I said, ‘I’m not a killer.’”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muñoz was still wearing pajamas when he was shackled around the waist and legs and transported to downtown Los Angeles. He was released that afternoon but would not speak to the specifics of the charges against him.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Justice department officials have said these indictments are the tip of the iceberg in what they allege is widespread voter fraud in California. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Every illegal vote cancels out the vote of a lawful American citizen,” Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter said in a news release. “Each of the 28 defendants charged today appears on the list of more than 20,000 likely non-citizen registrants we provided to California election officials last week. California refused to look at that list. Today’s charges show exactly what that refusal puts at risk.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday, a federal judge sided with California by rejecting a bid by the Trump administration to separate out any ballots sent in from people on that list. The decision by U.S. District Judge David Carter is a setback for the federal government in its efforts to exert more control over state-run elections ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm. On Monday, the Supreme Court denied an appeal by the Department of Justice to wade into its fight with California over voter rolls.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Never before in American history has the federal government, on the eve of an election, sought to coerce a state and local government to abandon their own Constitutional elections procedures and bend to the will of the Executive Branch,” Carter wrote in his \u003ca href=\"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.1043513/gov.uscourts.cacd.1043513.149.0.pdf\">26-page decision\u003c/a>. “In bringing this lawsuit, the Executive would have this Court believe that it reigns as a sole sovereign. But California and its people are sovereign, too.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The California Newsroom tried to speak with many of the defendants and their lawyers, but except for Muñoz, all inquiries were turned down or received no response.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its case against Jimenez, the government alleges the Fresno County resident submitted a voter registration application to the Fresno County Registrar in 2022, and checked a box indicating he is a U.S. citizen. Jimenez is also accused of voting in recent elections.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T2p_9EHq-_wT05Kw7CRM4TvYElJM3qvR/view\">The complaint\u003c/a> said Jimenez subsequently told agents that he registered to vote after receiving his green card. Jimenez also said that he had been voting since 2023, according to the complaint, although he denied ever claiming he was a citizen.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Standard of proof \u003c/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prove its case against Jimenez and the other defendants, the government must show they deliberately broke federal law by voting as noncitizens, according to UCLA law professor Rick Hasen.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u003ca href=\"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2024-title18/pdf/USCODE-2024-title18-partI-chap29-sec611.pdf\">federal statute\u003c/a> prohibits anyone who isn’t a U.S. citizen from voting to elect the president or members of Congress. Doing so is punishable by up to one year in prison, a fine or a combination of both.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/110226-Essayli-Voting-DOJ-AP-CM-01-6bdc8ebd.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12107822\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/110226-Essayli-Voting-DOJ-AP-CM-01-6bdc8ebd.png 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/110226-Essayli-Voting-DOJ-AP-CM-01-6bdc8ebd-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/110226-Essayli-Voting-DOJ-AP-CM-01-6bdc8ebd-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bill Essayli, first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, is joined by Erin Burke, left, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations, and San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow during a news conference in Los Angeles on Nov. 2, 2026. (Jae C. Hong/AP Photo)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“In order to violate the statute, there has to be proof that the person did so intentionally,” Hasen said. “That is, they knew they were not eligible, and they did it anyway.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Hasen said it is not necessarily considered intentional if a government office, like the Department of Motor Vehicles, mistakenly offers someone who is not a citizen the chance to register to vote.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Suppose you are told by a government official you can register to vote, even if you’re not a citizen, and the person registers, then they might be doing so knowing that they registered but not knowing that they were violating the law,” Hasen added.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even a statement that a defendant makes acknowledging that he or she voted would not automatically prove the government’s case, Hasen said. Prosecutors must still show defendants were knowingly and willfully breaking the law.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said successful prosecutions or guilty pleas by noncitizens accused of voter fraud are rare.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“It seems to be a very small problem relative to the number of voters in the country,” Hasen said, adding that it is more about “trying to make an example of some people, rather than showing evidence that there’s a massive problem of election fraud in the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potential immigration consequences \u003c/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While intentionality is key to a criminal case, it may not matter when it comes to immigration consequences. Regardless of whether someone meant to break the law, unlawful voting and falsely claiming to be a citizen, including by signing a voter registration form, \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF12767\">can be grounds for deportation\u003c/a> and for denial of an application for U.S. citizenship. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the people charged have lived in the U.S. legally for years and are in the process of applying for citizenship, according to the federal complaints against them. That could now be denied to them, even if the government doesn’t move to deport them.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stanford University Law Professor Jennifer Chacón said that one reason noncitizen voting is rare is that the price to pay is so steep.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“The fact that these individuals can be criminally prosecuted, barred from naturalization, subject to deportation, all demonstrates why, as a general rule, noncitizen voting is not a problem,” she said, “because there are many, many consequences to it, and people are generally aware of that.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal prosecutors said that the names they provided in California are only a small fraction of a wider problem. “We are investigating thousands of more similar cases throughout the nation,” Bill Essayli, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, told reporters. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Department of Justice has emphasized that the number of noncitizens charged with voting and related offenses has grown to more than 150 in this Trump term from a total of 13 under Biden’s entire term, other analysts point out that it is small compared to the number of registered voters.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California has 23 million voters, Attorney General Bob Bonta noted, saying those who face charges in the state are “just a drop in the bucket numerically, and it makes the point that there is no widespread voter fraud.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101915782/bracing-for-the-coming-wave-of-legal-challenges-to-midterm-voting\">KQED’s Forum\u003c/a>, the UCLA Law Professor, Rick Hasen, cast doubt on the federal government’s statements. “What I think they’re actually trying to do,” he said, “is to project the image that there’s a widespread voter fraud problem in this country, and to kind of mimic the claims that President Trump has made, that noncitizens are voting in droves and affecting the outcome of elections.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003cem>This story was reported by\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/\">\u003cem>KVPR\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>,\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kcrw.com/\">\u003cem>KCRW\u003c/em>\u003c/a> \u003cem>and\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/\">\u003cem>KQED\u003c/em>\u003c/a> \u003cem>with\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/californianewsroom\">\u003cem>The California Newsroom\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>, a collaboration of public media outlets that includes NPR, CalMatters, KQED (San Francisco), LAist and KCRW (Los Angeles), KPBS (San Diego) and other stations across the state.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n",

The government charges say he voted in three elections in violation of the law that bans non-U.S. citizens from voting for president or Congress. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the 10-minute hearing before Judge Stanley A. Boone, federal public defender Erin Snider said Jimenez, who was dressed in a peach polo shirt, faded jeans and white Nike sneakers, owns a paving company. Neither Jimenez nor Snider answered questions from reporters.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/10/AP26292580333526-32bd8bdc-scaled-e1792439409172.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12105146\"/>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Homeland Security Investigations task force officers escort a suspect accused of illegally registering to vote to a processing facility at Federal Building in Los Angeles on Oct. 19, 2026. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Justice Department officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-charges-28-foreign-nationals-california-election-crimes\">announced the charges\u003c/a> against Jimenez and 27 other California residents on Oct. 19 as part of a coordinated effort they said was designed “to root out fraud” in U.S. elections and protect electoral integrity. On Monday, the department \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/usao-edca/pr/six-additional-aliens-charged-illegal-voting-counties-fresno-kings-sacramento-solano\">announced charges\u003c/a> against 12 more people in California. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the defendants are not charged with illegally voting, but with illegally registering to vote or lying on their naturalization applications. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More court appearances are set for the coming days and weeks. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legal experts say that to gain convictions for illegal voting, prosecutors must prove that these people willfully committed a crime, which could be difficult. Regardless of any criminal convictions, even legal residents could be deported whether or not they knew they were breaking the law.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The cases and the people\u003c/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twenty-three of those accused are from Southern California, six are from the Bay Area, four are from the Sacramento region, and seven are from Fresno County and the Central Valley. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of those arrested in the mid-October sweep, 72-year-old Omar Muñoz of Commerce, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kcrw.com/shows/kcrw-reports/stories/he-was-arrested-for-noncitizen-voting-but-doesnt-know-why?srsltid=AYCX9vJ7W0oSaW66PdUm7gOZNXvIXCkWqYU2c-Luy-m4G6_GS1Aak_Xc\">told KCRW\u003c/a> that six police vehicles, a helicopter and at least six reporters arrived at his home just after 5 a.m. on Oct. 19. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“It’s a show,” Muñoz told the station. “I said, ‘Wow!’ I said, ‘I’m not a killer.’”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muñoz was still wearing pajamas when he was shackled around the waist and legs and transported to downtown Los Angeles. He was released that afternoon but would not speak to the specifics of the charges against him.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Justice department officials have said these indictments are the tip of the iceberg in what they allege is widespread voter fraud in California. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Every illegal vote cancels out the vote of a lawful American citizen,” Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter said in a news release. “Each of the 28 defendants charged today appears on the list of more than 20,000 likely non-citizen registrants we provided to California election officials last week. California refused to look at that list. Today’s charges show exactly what that refusal puts at risk.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday, a federal judge sided with California by rejecting a bid by the Trump administration to separate out any ballots sent in from people on that list. The decision by U.S. District Judge David Carter is a setback for the federal government in its efforts to exert more control over state-run elections ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm. On Monday, the Supreme Court denied an appeal by the Department of Justice to wade into its fight with California over voter rolls.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Never before in American history has the federal government, on the eve of an election, sought to coerce a state and local government to abandon their own Constitutional elections procedures and bend to the will of the Executive Branch,” Carter wrote in his \u003ca href=\"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.1043513/gov.uscourts.cacd.1043513.149.0.pdf\">26-page decision\u003c/a>. “In bringing this lawsuit, the Executive would have this Court believe that it reigns as a sole sovereign. But California and its people are sovereign, too.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The California Newsroom tried to speak with many of the defendants and their lawyers, but except for Muñoz, all inquiries were turned down or received no response.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its case against Jimenez, the government alleges the Fresno County resident submitted a voter registration application to the Fresno County Registrar in 2022, and checked a box indicating he is a U.S. citizen. Jimenez is also accused of voting in recent elections.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T2p_9EHq-_wT05Kw7CRM4TvYElJM3qvR/view\">The complaint\u003c/a> said Jimenez subsequently told agents that he registered to vote after receiving his green card. Jimenez also said that he had been voting since 2023, according to the complaint, although he denied ever claiming he was a citizen.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Standard of proof \u003c/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prove its case against Jimenez and the other defendants, the government must show they deliberately broke federal law by voting as noncitizens, according to UCLA law professor Rick Hasen.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u003ca href=\"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2024-title18/pdf/USCODE-2024-title18-partI-chap29-sec611.pdf\">federal statute\u003c/a> prohibits anyone who isn’t a U.S. citizen from voting to elect the president or members of Congress. Doing so is punishable by up to one year in prison, a fine or a combination of both.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/110226-Essayli-Voting-DOJ-AP-CM-01-6bdc8ebd.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12107822\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/110226-Essayli-Voting-DOJ-AP-CM-01-6bdc8ebd.png 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/110226-Essayli-Voting-DOJ-AP-CM-01-6bdc8ebd-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/110226-Essayli-Voting-DOJ-AP-CM-01-6bdc8ebd-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bill Essayli, first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, is joined by Erin Burke, left, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations, and San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow during a news conference in Los Angeles on Nov. 2, 2026. (Jae C. Hong/AP Photo)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“In order to violate the statute, there has to be proof that the person did so intentionally,” Hasen said. “That is, they knew they were not eligible, and they did it anyway.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Hasen said it is not necessarily considered intentional if a government office, like the Department of Motor Vehicles, mistakenly offers someone who is not a citizen the chance to register to vote.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Suppose you are told by a government official you can register to vote, even if you’re not a citizen, and the person registers, then they might be doing so knowing that they registered but not knowing that they were violating the law,” Hasen added.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even a statement that a defendant makes acknowledging that he or she voted would not automatically prove the government’s case, Hasen said. Prosecutors must still show defendants were knowingly and willfully breaking the law.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said successful prosecutions or guilty pleas by noncitizens accused of voter fraud are rare.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“It seems to be a very small problem relative to the number of voters in the country,” Hasen said, adding that it is more about “trying to make an example of some people, rather than showing evidence that there’s a massive problem of election fraud in the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potential immigration consequences \u003c/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While intentionality is key to a criminal case, it may not matter when it comes to immigration consequences. Regardless of whether someone meant to break the law, unlawful voting and falsely claiming to be a citizen, including by signing a voter registration form, \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF12767\">can be grounds for deportation\u003c/a> and for denial of an application for U.S. citizenship. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the people charged have lived in the U.S. legally for years and are in the process of applying for citizenship, according to the federal complaints against them. That could now be denied to them, even if the government doesn’t move to deport them.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stanford University Law Professor Jennifer Chacón said that one reason noncitizen voting is rare is that the price to pay is so steep.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“The fact that these individuals can be criminally prosecuted, barred from naturalization, subject to deportation, all demonstrates why, as a general rule, noncitizen voting is not a problem,” she said, “because there are many, many consequences to it, and people are generally aware of that.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal prosecutors said that the names they provided in California are only a small fraction of a wider problem. “We are investigating thousands of more similar cases throughout the nation,” Bill Essayli, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, told reporters. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Department of Justice has emphasized that the number of noncitizens charged with voting and related offenses has grown to more than 150 in this Trump term from a total of 13 under Biden’s entire term, other analysts point out that it is small compared to the number of registered voters.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California has 23 million voters, Attorney General Bob Bonta noted, saying those who face charges in the state are “just a drop in the bucket numerically, and it makes the point that there is no widespread voter fraud.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101915782/bracing-for-the-coming-wave-of-legal-challenges-to-midterm-voting\">KQED’s Forum\u003c/a>, the UCLA Law Professor, Rick Hasen, cast doubt on the federal government’s statements. “What I think they’re actually trying to do,” he said, “is to project the image that there’s a widespread voter fraud problem in this country, and to kind of mimic the claims that President Trump has made, that noncitizens are voting in droves and affecting the outcome of elections.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003cem>This story was reported by\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/\">\u003cem>KVPR\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>,\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kcrw.com/\">\u003cem>KCRW\u003c/em>\u003c/a> \u003cem>and\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/\">\u003cem>KQED\u003c/em>\u003c/a> \u003cem>with\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/californianewsroom\">\u003cem>The California Newsroom\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>, a collaboration of public media outlets that includes NPR, CalMatters, KQED (San Francisco), LAist and KCRW (Los Angeles), KPBS (San Diego) and other stations across the state.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

One held a black KitchenAid mixer.

Items still under warranty are turned away, along with anything hazardous, such as items that may contain asbestos. Also, no leather stitching and no zipper replacements, which are too specialized and time-consuming. Bicycle repairs are referred to one of the city’s many bike clinics, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfenvironment.org/repair-events-and-clinics\">free bike repair workshops\u003c/a> at public library branches.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while the majority of Repair Cafés elsewhere boast mending roughly 50% of items, leave it to San Francisco’s volunteer makers, geeks, and tinkerers to beat those stats.

Inspecting each person’s items, she murmured, “We’ll try, we’ll try.” Individuals seeking repairs held or stood next to their items: an espresso machine, a crossbody bag, a pair of jeans. A repair technician emerged from the library to blast canned air at a circuit board. \u003ca href=\"https://slowstreetcoffee.com\">Slow Street Coffee\u003c/a>’s Zaid Zayouna pulled up on a cargo bike to deliver free beverages.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a small atrium, volunteers greeted event participants next to a long table piled with free homemade baked goods, ranging from ube cookies to blueberry friands baked by Bonham Carter.

The machine had been Rocky’s favorite Christmas gift last year, and it recently experienced what’s known in 3D printing as the blob of death, with filament clogging up on the nozzle.

Items still under warranty are turned away, along with anything hazardous, such as items that may contain asbestos. Also, no leather stitching and no zipper replacements, which are too specialized and time-consuming. Bicycle repairs are referred to one of the city’s many bike clinics, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfenvironment.org/repair-events-and-clinics\">free bike repair workshops\u003c/a> at public library branches.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while the majority of Repair Cafés elsewhere boast mending roughly 50% of items, leave it to San Francisco’s volunteer makers, geeks, and tinkerers to beat those stats.

What weight \u003cem>can’t\u003c/em> capture is the time and money saved on replacing an item, or the feeling of freedom to finally throw something out if it’s proven that a repair isn’t possible.

It was the site of the historic 1934 West Coast waterfront strike, which stopped work in the city for days and which led to the unionization of all ports on the West Coast. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A number of strikers volunteered in Spain and when they returned to the city after the war, they became actively involved in dockwork and antiwar movements, including shutting down the shipment of goods to apartheid South Africa, according to \u003ca href=\"https://albavolunteer.org/2020/05/the-san-francisco-monument-repaired-taps-for-the-abraham-lincoln-brigade/\">The Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archive\u003c/a>s. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bay Area volunteers joined Spain’s Republicans, a collection of farmworkers, laborers, communists who comprised the resistance to Ferdinand Franco’s Nationalist rebels.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Franco’s rebels would ultimately succeed, ruling Spain until the 1970s.

When tropical trade winds weaken or reverse, warm ocean water near Asia can slosh toward the Pacific Coast. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That warming has many effects: it can reshape the jet stream and bring stormier weather, disrupt the ocean’s nutrient-rich upwelling, heat coastal waters, raise sea levels and stress marine life.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The absence of cool water near the surface can have major ramifications on ocean life. Chavez said the strongest impacts will likely occur this winter and spring.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“If it follows other El Niños, it’ll keep getting warmer and stay warm for six or more months,” Chavez said. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“But we won’t get as warm as Southern California has gotten.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scientists are closely \u003ca href=\"https://www.mbari.org/data/m1-mooring-real-time-plots/\">tracking\u003c/a> daily temperatures to provide context for ecological observations in the coming months. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The influx and presence of warm water for months will likely mean less food for whales, birds and other species. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelp could die or recede.

When tropical trade winds weaken or reverse, warm ocean water near Asia can slosh toward the Pacific Coast. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That warming has many effects: it can reshape the jet stream and bring stormier weather, disrupt the ocean’s nutrient-rich upwelling, heat coastal waters, raise sea levels and stress marine life.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The absence of cool water near the surface can have major ramifications on ocean life.
