LA Anti-ICE Protests
For the first time in 60 years, National Guard troops have been deployed to downtown Los Angeles despite the objections of California leaders, including Governor Newsom. CalMatters Investigative Reporter Sergio Olmos and Blake Jones, Co-Author of POLITICO’s California Playbook, join Insight to talk about the escalating fight between California and the Trump administration over immigration.

Blue Diamond Closes Sacramento Plant
After more than a century of operations, Blue Diamond Growers announced Friday it will stop production at its historic plant in Midtown Sacramento and shift to facilities in the Central Valley. The company says the move will impact hundreds of workers. CapRadio Communities Reporter Gerardo Zavala talks about how officials, farmers and the business community are responding to the news of the impending departure. William Burg, board president for the nonprofit Preservation Sacramento, also talks about Blue Diamond’s legacy in Sacramento as part of the city’s larger history of food production.

Sac Republic Stadium Vote
Sacramento Republic FC is planning to build a new soccer stadium in the downtown Railyards as part of a $321 million entertainment district development. But, the proposal has drawn criticism over the amount of affordable housing and union jobs included in the design. CapRadio Reporter Tony Rodriguez breaks down how city officials and opponents are viewing the development, ahead of a city council vote tomorrow on a $92 million financing plan for the project.

‘The Nu Blak’ Juneteenth Show
