\nRoosevelt\u2019s Tamale Parlor, a 24th Street institution, has announced it will close its doors on Sunday, Dec. 6. Named for the old Roosevelt Theater on 24th Street, it first opened 93 years ago in 1922. \u201cI am lost for words today,\u201d said Erick Arguello of the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District. \u201cWhen [the current owners] first bought it they \u2026 understood the historical significance it had in the neighborhood and how important it was to maintain it.\u201d According to a sign placed on the restaurant\u2019s door, the closure was not attributed in any way to the landlord, but was described instead as a \u201ccombination of factors including personal health issues and shrinking restaurant labor pool.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBoth The Eviction Defense Collaborative and Tenants Together are set to lose their offices located in the Mid-Market area Hewes building. The 15-story building, which was at one time filled with nonprofits, falls inside the \u201cPayroll Tax Exclusion Zone,\u201d which Mayor Ed Lee set up in 2010 to entice Twitter into staying in San Francisco. In January 2016, the office space will be taken over by WeWork, a \u201ccoworking\u201d startup based out of New York City. WeWork made headlines in Aug. 2015 when it laid off nearly all (150) of its subcontracted, mostly Latino, employees, after the workers tried to unionize.<\/p>\n
\nIn an unlikely turn of events, it was discovered that the gun traced to the Sept. 29 shooting death of muralist Antonio Ramos in Oakland was actually taken from the rental car of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in San Francisco two weeks before. SFPD arrested 25-year-old Sean Gibson of San Francisco in connection with the stolen firearm on Oct. 21. At this time it isn\u2019t clear how Marquise Holloway, the 20-year-old man accused of killing Ramos, got ahold of the weapon. In June 2015, Kathryn Steinle was shot and killed with a firearm later found to have been stolen from a law enforcement official, making national headlines.<\/p>\n
\nThree armed assailants entered a San Bernardino building at around 11 a.m. Wednesday Dec. 2 and open fired, leaving at least 14 dead and 17 wounded. The mass shooting reportedly occurred at a holiday party for county employees at the Inland Regional Center. As of press time the motive is unknown, but two suspects, a man and a woman, were killed following a shootout with police, and one other suspect was detained. Police have identified one of the dead suspects as Syed Farook, a resident of the nearby city of Redlands. \u201cAt minimum, we have a domestic terrorist-type situation here,\u201d San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said at a press conference. \u201cThey came prepared to do what they did, as if they were on a mission.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe United States Supreme Court has moved a step closer toward agreeing to hear Obama\u2019s case for expanding Deferred Action, during its current term (ending June 2016) before he leaves the White\u00a0House. The President\u2019s executive order expanding Deferred Action was originally issued in late 2014, but has been on hold since then, following legal action by 26 states seeking to block its implementation. Most recently, the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a decision by a lower court in Texas, which ruled the President\u2019s order was unconstitutional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
