Issue: March 16, 2017
Morning, readers!
This week's feature story, penned by CN&R intern Gabriel Sandoval, delves into the topic of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), which has been threatened by President Trump. You'll have a chance to meet two local college students whose parents brought them here illegally when they were children. They're both overachievers; they're both DACA students. If Trump eliminates the program, what will happen to them? Read on to find out.
In other news: Butte County supes discuss sanctuary (or non-sanctuary) status; the sheriff unveils an official evacuation plan for south of the dam; and local medical marijuana growers get a lesson on environmental laws re: pot farms.
