California Pauses Unemployment Claims For Two Weeks - a podcast by KPBS

California will not accept new unemployment claims for the next two weeks as the state works to prevent fraud and reduce a backlog of unprocessed claims. More than 2 million people are out of work statewide during the coronavirus pandemic. Also, a new filing in federal court claims that Customs and Border Protection knew it was breaking the law when it began turning away asylum-seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border. Plus, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra talks about his more than 100 lawsuits against the Trump Administration, and possibly being tapped to replace Kamala Harris if she and Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden win in November.
