The Napa County Sheriff's Office reported that deputies made a traffic stop on Highway 12 just past midnight, which led to a pursuit when the vehicle fled.

While the Trump administration aggressively expands immigration detention nationwide, including a 2,500-bed private prison just opened in California's Mojave Desert, a controversial plan to build an immigration jail at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield is now on hold. The push to build a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center on the air base came to light in April through internal federal emails obtained by KQED.

Representatives John Garamendi and Mike Thompson firmly oppose the Trump Administration's plan to convert Travis Air Force Base into an immigration detention facility, citing national security concerns.

"Assigning resources toward immigration enforcement risks blurring this crucial distinction and setting a concerning precedent for the use of military installations for purposes beyond their intended scope."
