Man arrested in ICE raid shares story; Community colleges face financial fraud


Listen Later

In March, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a paint company near El Cajon.

United States citizens were eventually allowed to leave, but 15 people who could not prove citizenship were transported to the Otay Mesa Detention Center.

Jorge Lopez was one of them. He's now free after a month in federal detention, and shared his story with KPBS. We discuss the details.

Plus, bot students are scamming California community colleges out of financial aid. CalMatters reporting into the issue has caught the attention of congress members who are calling for a federal investigation into the fraud.

Then, we discuss more stories from the news cycle this week on the roundup.

Guests:
  • Gustavo Solis, investigative border reporter, KPBS
  • Adam Echelman, higher education and workforce reporter, CalMatters
  • Ashley Rusch, producer, KPBS
