Mega master calendar hearings. That is what the Trump administration calls the practice of scheduling a bunch of immigration hearings on very short notice.This started in late May. Immigrant right advocates sounded alarms \u2026 warning that people wouldn\u2019t show up to court if they only had a few weeks notice. And be denied due process. Now the data is out. And it shows that is exactly what happened.\u201cPuts numbers to a lot of what people had been reporting from on the ground all over the country.\u201dThat\u2019s Joseph Gunter \u2013 he just co-authored a report on the impact of these hearings. It focused on absentia removal orders. Which means deporting someone because they missed their hearing.\u201cAnd so what we saw is that with all of these huge numbers of hearings schedule in short notice is a truly unprecedented number of removal orders in absentia were handed out in June.\u201dImmigration courts nationwide issued more than 53,000 absentia removal orders in June.\u00a0 A 55% increase from May \u2013 which was already a record month.Gustavo Solis, KPBS News.<\/p>\n

HEALTH REPORTER HEIDI DE MARCO TAKES A CLOSER LOOK AT THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE DISEASE.<\/p>\n
Diagnosing CTE in a living person is a process of elimination.We have to make sure that there’s no brain tumors, we don’t think that it’s an Alzheimer’s, we don’t think that it’s a Parkinson’s disease.Dr. Vamsi Chavakula is a neurosurgeon with Sharp HealthCare. So it is a very tricky diagnosis.He says researchers are looking for other ways to detect CTE, including through blood and spinal fluid\u2026but there is no reliable test yet.We don’t understand\u2026why some players get CTE and some do not.Sarah Banks is a neuropsychologist and UCSan Diego Health. She uses brain autopsies to learn more about the disease.We really do rely on the families of these individuals who sadly die with repetitive head injury and dementia to donate their brain so that we can learn more about what happens.For now, researchers are working toward a way to identify the disease during life\u2026and better understand who is most vulnerable.Heidi de Marco, KPBS News.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Scott Minto, director of the Sports M-B-A program at San Diego State.
\u201cThe women’s sports industry is on fire these days. It’s been phenomenal growth uh in the last several years\u2026 Looking at it from the revenue perspective, it’s projected to grow by 250% by 2030.\u201dBut for fans, One of Us isn\u2019t about the dollar signs. Carol Kuck (COOK) is glad to have a space that celebrates women’s sports..
\u201cSo, the vibe right now is I think just feeling like a place where we’re seen as women. We belong and um are honored. as women. It’s it’s really great for women’s sports, but for women and for all sports fans women’s sports is awesome.\u201dBrenden Tuccinardi, KPBS news.\u00a0<\/p>\n
