Students walk out Hoover High, protesting immigration authorities
Students at Hoover High School in northeast Fresno plan to walk out of class this morning as another day of local protests gets underway amid growing anger over the Trump Administration’s anti-immigrant crackdown and recent killings of American citizens at the hands of federal agents. Fresno Unified officials on Monday released a brief statement acknowledging the student walkout over what FUSD described as “in protest of federal immigration policies and actions.”

Fresno joins national ICE protests following fatal shooting of Minneapolis woman
Fresno was among a handful of cities across the country on Thursday that protested against President Donald Trump’s administration, and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement following the agency's fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis earlier this week. Fresno’s protest was organized by a coalition of leftist organizations, among them the United States Party for Socialism and Liberation’s Central Valley chapter, who, undeterred by the sub-50-degree weather, amassed about 200 protesters from across the state for a candle light vigil in front of the ICE offices downtown.

Fresno company tied to ex-political leaders accused of whistleblower retaliation in unserved lawsuit
A former program director is suing a Fresno-based community development company for wrongful termination and accusing its president — prominent former City Hall politician Oliver Baines — of whistleblower retaliation. Giulio Sanchez, a Fresno-based attorney representing the company — the Central Valley New Market Tax Credit Fund — said the company wasn’t aware of the lawsuit until contacted for comment by Fresnoland this week and confirmed the case has not been served.
