She reportedly resisted arrest and is now held by ICE pending deportation. The incident adds to mounting scrutiny of ICE agents, especially after recent controversies including fatal shootings and a botched Las Vegas arrest, with questions swirling about whether officers were properly identifying themselves.

Butterfly Nursery Under Threat | Oakland News

A rare and fragile butterfly, the California pipevine swallowtail, calls a small patch of UC Berkeley’s Strawberry Creek home — its survival entirely tied to the native pipevine plant. Now, a major campus clean energy upgrade threatens to uproot this habitat, sparking outcry from conservationists who see the butterfly as a symbol of ecological restoration. While Berkeley has pledged to mitigate damage through careful excavation, plant transplants, and future habitat expansion, experts warn the plan may be too risky — especially without further surveys — raising urgent questions about balancing progress with preservation.
