For East Bay immigrants, notary fraud is a common legal threat

Reported in Oakland and Richmond, California for four months for this story about notary fraud, a common set-up that occurs because of the Spanish to English language barrier. Notaries unlawfully give legal advice to immigrants, and in many cases, pretend to be immigration attorneys.

Collaboration with Alondra De La Cruz for Oakland North.

In addition to the Oakland community coverage of the state of education, mental health and immigration.
