Among the dead in Gilroy was a 6-year-old boy named Steven Romero, family members told a news station. “I lost my son,” his father said. “And there’s nothing I really can do besides try to be with him so I could put him in his resting spot, wherever that is. I don’t know what to say. My son had his whole life to live, and he was only 6.” NBC News | Washington Post

Politicians have been clashing over some Democrats’ comparison of migrant detention facilities with Nazi concentration camps. It’s a familiar debate in California, where camps used to incarcerate Japanese Americans during WWII have commonly been called concentration camps, even appearing on an official plaque at Manzanar.

“I know what concentration camps are,” actor George Takei said in a tweet. “I was inside two of them, in America. And yes, we are operating such camps again.” Others disagree. “To me, it offends memory,” a rabbi in Los Angeles said. “You’re demeaning history.” L.A. Times

It’s galling enough that the Equifax C.E.O. who oversaw an egregious data hack is getting about $20 million in stock bonuses, wrote business columnist David Lazarus. Now the company is counting on affected customers failing to collect the $125 they are entitled to as part of a settlement with California and other states. “You should prove them wrong,” Lazarus wrote.

Mono Lake in the Eastern Sierra is among the country’s oldest lakes, believed to have formed from melting glaciers roughly a million years ago. It was carrying along just fine until Los Angeles got involved in 1941, when the city began diverting water from the Mono Basin. By 1982 the lake had fallen by 45 vertical feet, throwing its ecosystem into collapse. In 1994, state regulators ordered the lake to be protected, sparing it the fate of the drained Owens Lake to the south. Measured this month, Mono Lake was doing better — 35 feet down from the 1941 level — yet far from fully recovered. Atlas Obscura | MonoLake.org

A N.Y. Times art critic compared calls to destroy controversial murals at a San Francisco high school to the Taliban’s demolition of ancient Buddhas in Afghanistan. “Those favoring destruction think that they know what the art is about, and that they have the right to decide for everyone, now and in the future, what will be accessible, what will be known,” she wrote.

Immigration agents have made at least two arrests inside Kern County courthouses in recent weeks. Critics of such arrests say they undermine the justice system by discouraging domestic abuse victims and others from appearing in court for fear of arrest. I.C.E. has defended the practice as necessary when local law enforcement fails to cooperate with the agency on immigration arrests. Bakersfield Californian

The largest California oil spill in nearly three decades is unfolding near the dusty little town of McKittrick at the western edge of Kern County. But locals aren’t too worried about it. “Even if the kids were here, it’s not something that we would be concerned about,” a school leader said. “Out here, you don’t really think a lot about it.” KQED | L.A. Times

San Luis Obispo has a solution to all of the debate over monuments with troubled legacies: no more monuments to individuals, living or dead. “Why would we step into lifting up individual people who are —undoubtedly, as we all are — complex, flawed,” the city’s mayor said. Moreover, she said: “Anyone worthy of a monument would not want one.” KCBX

For a brief period before the Gold Rush, San Francisco was largely a Mormon town.

It was on this week in 1846 that the ship Brooklyn landed at San Francisco, then Yerba Buena. It carried 238 weary Mormons who had completed an epic journey from New York, five times farther than that of the Plymouth Pilgrims, in search of freedom from religious persecution.

They doubled the population of San Francisco, and took a central role in many of California’s early historical developments. Within a year, they built 100 permanent structures in San Francisco, including the first bank, library, and English-speaking school. The group’s leader, Sam Brannan, started the city’s first newspaper, the California Star, and became its first millionaire. Other Mormons founded towns, pioneered farming, and became among the first gold miners.

For a time, San Francisco seemed like it could become the headquarters of the Mormon church. In 1847, Brannan traveled to meet the church’s president, Brigham Young, who was himself journeying west via land, to plead with him to continue on to the paradise he had found in California. Young refused, preferring the isolation of Utah’s Salt Lake Valley.

Still, California became firmly established within the so-called Mormon Corridor, adding another major Mormon foothold in the San Bernardino Valley that rivaled Los Angeles in size. Over the generations, the church’s membership in California has grown steadily. Today, more Mormons live in California than any state but Utah. BYU | SFGate.com
