Mission Local has learned that the campaign to recall District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio will on Thursday turn in some 11,000 signatures. The required number of valid signatures to place this recall on the ballot is 9,911. So, that would be more. But the key word here is “valid.” The campaign says it collected some 14,000 raw signatures, but, after internal vetting, is confident in the 11,000-odd it will be depositing with the Department of Elections.

Read this story in English. Con la inauguración de Donald Trump para su segundo mandato presidencial este lunes, el miedo está aumentando entre los inmigrantes indocumentados en California. Como ciudad santuario, Berkeley podría convertirse en un objetivo de los planes de deportación masiva de Trump. Durante el primer mandato de Donald Trump, tanto Berkeley como el estado de California establecieron mayores protecciones para las personas indocumentadas.

With Donald Trump inaugurated for his second term Monday, fear is rising among undocumented immigrants in California. As a sanctuary city, Berkeley may be the target of Trump’s mass deportation plans. Last week, border-patrol agents showed up in unmarked vehicles in Fresno and Kern Counties and arrested at least 78 undocumented immigrants, according to ABC7.

In just one week, the Mission co-op Project Artaud, was hit by seemingly the same thief 3 times. He stole a sculpture, paintings and prints from 5 artists. “It’s just odd,” said one artist. “But they knew what they were looking for.” by @junyao98 https://t.co/LXA4u35w7Q

Had fun talking about data reporting in smaller newsrooms at @IRE_NICAR in Minneapolis. At @MLNow, sometimes that means going out and counting planters block by block! ICYMI: https://t.co/YzoYvc9oDk Thanks @KateReports @myersjustinc and @CodyLillich for a great talk!

If you’re part of a small data team — or you are the newsroom’s data team — this #NICAR25 session will cover practical ways to weave data into your beat, balance quick-turn stories with investigations, and make the most of limited resources. Join us: https://t.co/FNi9VutYKL https://t.co/igrQRE9tkl
