A judge blocked enforcement of

After a judge blocked Florida's immigration law, police arrested dozens. Most were pulled over for minor traffic infractions. One was arrested after he was an apparent victim in a hit-and-run crash. Many are in ICE custody. A must-read from this amazing team:

By the time 15-yr-old Jázmin Pellegrini was found dead in an SF driveway last April, Chronicle reporters Cynthia Dizikes and Joaquin Palomino had already spent months investigating California's for-profit psychiatric hospitals. They soon found her story epitomized the crisis inside these facilities.
