Valley, California residents are urging prosecutors to treat the assault
of a black teenager as a hate crime. The alleged
assault happened earlier this month in a movie theater parking lot.
Investigators say it involved two groups fifteen who have fought
in the past. Michael Robinson, one of the alleged victim's,
claims he was called racial slurs.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
And there this yelling. I mean this racial slur is
it was fair for my life, honestly, because I was
only getting hit in the back into the head and
look you, I didn't know if I was going to
get out of here.

The eighteen year old Robinson, who is Black, says he
was chased and beaten while hanging out with friends outside
of a movie theater. One of his friends was punched
in the face after an argument, then Robinson said the
group turned its focus on him. He claims he suffered
several injuries, including a concussion and broken teeth. For suspects,
all miners have been arrested on suspicion of battery. One

his calls for redistricting. Newsom issued a letter to Trump

as the President double downs on his push by calling
for a new census. Governor Newsomb had previously launched a

increase GOP seats in the House. However, Newsom pledged in
his letter that California would stand down if red states.

extension comes after US and Chinese officials met last month.
Had the pause not been extended, tariffs on Chinese goods

in April. While we are hearing from the mother of
