Following Medicaid Cuts, Californians With Intellectual, Developmental Disabilities Face Uncertain Future | KQED

"Here are the morning's top stories on Monday, October 6, 2025... Gov. Gavin Newsom celebrated the ruling, calling it a "victory for American democracy itself." In a post on X, he wrote, "Trump's abuse of power won't stand." In Kern County - where three detention centers operate - the health officer, through an attorney, has said in testimony before a federal judge that he has "no intention" of exercising his new authority to inspect the facilities to ensure they comply with state and local health standards."

"The companies that manage the detention centers through contracts with the federal government say they take seriously their responsibility to adhere to federal standards and uphold human rights. One unsuccessfully sued to overturn the new California inspection law, alleging it was unnecessary and an intrusion on the federal government's authority. The broader order comes a day after the same judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying Oregon's National Guard in response to protests outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland."

"The administration attempted to bypass that ruling by deploying troops from California. According to a memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth filed in court, the president also ordered 400 Texas National Guard troops to "perform federal protection missions" in Chicago, Portland and potentially other major cities. The White House has increasingly turned to federalizing troops for deployment in U.S. cities, including earlier this summer in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C."
