On Wednesday, Team KVCR had the pleasure of hosting Team and the Office of Alumni Engagement for a tour of our station. This visit was a great reminder of the momentum we’ve built together, especially after bringing the spirit of NPR’s Tiny Desk to UCR’s Homecoming Concert this past September with Tinier Desk on Campus: UCR x KVCR.

We’re excited to continue strengthening this partnership as we look ahead to 2026.

Catholic bishops from across California held mass for detainees inside the Adelanto ICE Processing Center on Wednesday. It’s the first service at the facility in more than five years.

More than 300 detained people attended the service inside the men’s wing of the detention center…which started around 1 pm.

Seven bishops from San Diego to Sacramento … delivered communion and a sermon outside on the basketball court.

The bishops couldn’t speak directly Bishop Oscar Cantu from the San Jose Catholic Diocese said they wanted to show that the Catholic Church hasn’t abandoned them.

“We want to be close to the people who are suffering now, and that’s what today was about,” Cantù said.

In November, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a statement expressing concern about the climate of fear because of the raids and the conditions at detention centers. They called on the Federal government to allow pastoral care in the facilities.

Cantu said the mass was a symbolic gesture showing they stand behind the statement.

The Redlands school board voted to remove one novel from school libraries and restrict access to another following public challenges under the district’s book review policy. A review committee found both books appropriate for high school students, but board members cited concerns about sexually explicit content. Supporters of the books argued the removals amount to censorship, while critics said the actions were taken to protect students. Debate continues over whether the decisions align with state law on maintaining diverse educational materials.
