4. Actually it's at the heart of California's immigrant workers.

It's the southern end of Central California and Sacramento would be the Northern end. In between is the agricultural industry. You have farm laborers bent over for 12 plus hours during 100 degree plus temps during the summer for low wages. Farm owners have been known to provide dilapidated housing for which they deduct rent for, from the pickers pay. Farm owners and contractors have also been known to tip off ICE so they can conduct raids at the end of picking season or the end of a lucrative job so they don't have to pay.
You can see ICE driving up and down highway 5 and 99 all day, every day. It will definitely be part of the new administration's strategy to come after California. In addition to holding back FEMA help during disasters and any other Federal money they can withhold.
