• Concord Gun Raid By Sonoma County Police Yields Illegal Machine Gun Switches (patch.com) — Police executed a gun raid in Concord on Thursday, seizing illegal conversion devices that can turn Glock pistols into fully automatic weapons as part of a Bay Area investigation tied to Santa Rosa. A Vacaville man was arrested after allegedly discarding a loaded handgun with one of the banned switches and is facing multiple firearm-related charges.
• Fired by Trump, this immigration judge set off on the migrant trail (usatoday.com) — Immigration cases from San Francisco are being shifted to a smaller federal court in Concord as the Trump administration closes the city’s immigration court and removes many judges. One recently fired judge, who granted asylum at high rates, retraced a Guatemalan family’s journey to understand the impact of his final ruling and the broader crackdown on asylum.
