Proposed airport fencing
In 2012 Modoc County, California officials applied for a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fund a new 8 ft tall and 3 mi long fence around the nearby Tulelake Municipal Airport, to keep animals off the runway. The Tule Lake Committee and related groups working to preserve the historical integrity of the former Tule Lake War Relocation Center and related Camp Tulelake have opposed the airport fence. It would surround the site of most of the prison's barracks — nearly 46 complete "blocks" and portions of several others — impeding visitors and desecrating the physical and spiritual integrity of the camp. The Stop the Fence at Tulelake Airport organization has explained, "A fence will prevent all Americans from experiencing the dimension and magnitude of the concentration camp where people experienced mass exclusion and racial hatred."

The opponents note that being excluded from the area would especially affect former internees and their descendants, who make regular pilgrimages to the former incarceration site and their specific assigned barracks. Those who make the pilgrimage want the ability to walk throughout the massive camp and imagine the experiences of the internees. "They want to traverse the site to experience the dimension and magnitude of the place, to gain a sense of the distances family members walked in their daily routine to eat meals, attend school, to do laundry and use the latrines. They want to summon up the ghosts of the place, to revive long-suppressed memories and to mourn personal and collective loss."

Actor George Takei, held as a child with his family at the concentration camp, has worked in support of the petition against the fence. Takei has said, "We must not permit this history to be erased and minimized by destroying the integrity of the site or making it inaccessible to future generations."

The Overlooked Americans
“The Overlooked Americans” is a book by Elizabeth Currid-Halkett that analyzes the lives of people in rural America. The book uses surveys, demographic data, and interviews to explore the complex identities and views of rural Americans. The book challenges conventional wisdom and stereotypes about rural America, and shows that life in rural America is often more complex and varied than people think. The book also shows that rural America is not hopelessly divided from urban America. Currid-Halkett is a public policy professor at the University of Southern California. She wrote the book to answer the question of how people in cities and suburbs can relate to their rural counterparts. Only 14% of Americans live in rural areas.

TRUTH Act
The Transparent Review of Unjust Transfers and Holds Act (TRUTH Act) is a California state law. It was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown in 2016. The TRUTH Act requires local governing bodies to hold a community forum to receive and consider public comment if local law enforcement has provided any Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) access to an individual. The forum must be held annually. The TRUTH Act was passed in response to the growing number of immigrants who were being detained by local law enforcement and then turned over to federal immigration authorities.

TO
Just days later, as a vigil was held for those impacted by the shooting, the massive Hill Fire and Woolsey Fire threatened the community, burning homes across Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. The fires would continue through almost the entire month of November charring almost 100,000 acres and consuming multiple homes in the region as it burned through Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, and Thousand Oaks, all the way to the Malibu coastline.
