📰 News we're reading
• Viral video of smash-and-grab robbery in Concord's Sunvalley Mall (nbcbayarea.com) — Concord shoppers are talking after a smash-and-grab robbery at a jewelry kiosk inside Sunvalley Mall was caught on video, showing a bystander trying to fend off thieves with a caution cone. Police are investigating possible links to another recent incident and say they’ll boost patrols around the shopping center during the holidays. 
• S.F. federal judge orders a stop to ICE courthouse arrests (modbee.com) — Immigration hearings at the Concord courthouse are now shielded from on-site ICE arrests after a San Francisco federal judge limited the Trump administration’s courthouse enforcement policy in Northern California. The ruling, which also covers San Francisco and Sacramento, aims to reduce fears that have kept many immigrants from attending critical hearings, and could shape how future deportation cases proceed in the region.
