Humpday Headlines: Meta Layoffs Hitting Seattle Harder Than SF
Meta carried out sweeping layoffs affecting about 8,000 workers globally, including 671 in the Bay Area and around 1,400 in the Seattle area. A person was shot and injured Tuesday in a parking lot near Westfield Valley Fair mall in San Jose, possibly involving road rage. A fatal stabbing in Oakland resulted in the identification of 19-year-old Aldon Rochel Mata Cardona, who was reportedly walking home after a soccer match when he was attacked near San Antonio Park. A new Associated Press probe found suicide deaths in ICE detention occurring at a higher rate than earlier years, with at least 10 suicides documented since Trump took office. Gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra made campaign stops in San Francisco with a week left before the primary.
