SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Sexually violent predators in California can be allowed a conditional release into a home in a neighborhood during their rehabilitation treatment. Sarah Thompson of Kid Safe California, joined KUSI’s Hunter Sowards on Good Evening San Diego to discuss changing the conditional release program for sexually violent predators in California.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California will mail all registered voters ballots in future elections under legislation signed Monday by Gov. Gavin Newsom. His signature makes permanent a change adopted during the pandemic for the 2020 election and the recent recall. California will join other Western states including Oregon, Washington, Utah and Colorado that already mail every registered voter a ballot. The Democratic governor signed 10 other voting-related bills. He crafted his signature as part of a national push by Democrats to expand voting rights and access. Republicans have expressed skepticism about the security of mail-in voting, but there is no evidence of widespread fraud. Categories: California News, Politics

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – California lawmakers recently decided to move forward with Assembly Bill 101, which would make ethnic studies a requirement in public high schools. However, hundreds of Holocaust survivors and members of the Jewish community are urging for Gov. Newsom to veto this bill, arguing that it could promote antisemitic content in the classroom. Naya Lekht, Director of Education from Club Z, a national organization for Jewish teens, joined KUSI’s Hunter Sowards on Good Evening San Diego to discuss AB 101. Lekht described that her organization is not against teaching ethnic studies, but is concerned that the content could promote anti-Zionism, call Israel an apartheid state, and call Jews privileged, Lekht said.

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Last week, two local anti-drug task forces revealed that prescription drug and opioid deaths doubled in 2020. In an attempt to lower these deaths in San Diego and across the country, the DEA has launched a new initiative to combat fake prescription pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine. DEA Special Agent in Charge, John Callery, joined KUSI’s Logan Byrnes on Good Evening San Diego to discuss the new initiative to combat widespread use of fentanyl. The DEA has issued a Public Safety Alert driving focus to the increase of the lethality and availability of fake prescription pills which contain fentanyl and methamphetamine. This is the first time in six years that the DEA has issued a Public Safety Alert. Criminal drug networks are mass-producing the counterfeit pills in labs and falsely marketing them as legitimate prescription pills, resulting in the deaths of many Americans at an alarming rate.
