Kathryn Steinle Murder Trial

This week, opening arguments began in a murder trial that’s at the center of a national debate over so-called sanctuary cities and immigration policy. When 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle was allegedly shot and killed by an undocumented immigrant, President Trump and other immigration hard-liners cited her case to support building a border wall and cracking down on sanctuary policies.

Thomas E. Mann’s "One Nation After Trump"

In recent weeks, U.S. Sens. Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) and Bob Corker (R-Tennessee) have said they will not seek re-election next year, citing deep disagreements with President Trump’s leadership and behavior. As the Republican Party engages in soul-searching, the president’s base continue to support him. How Trump came to power, and the GOP’s role in his rise, are the focus of a new book by UC Berkeley resident scholar Thomas E. Mann, "One Nation After Trump."
