Good morning, Oakland.

Gov. Newsom signed a bill on Saturday that bans most law enforcement officers—including federal immigration agents—from wearing masks during official business to counter federal overreach after recent mass arrests in Los Angeles.

Greg Papa returned to KNBR between his chemotherapy sessions and shared his fight with blood cancer while growing a beard as a reminder (his bone marrow transplant from his older brother Ron is set for November).

He works from his East Bay home and said his future on the air depends on his strength during treatment.

At Oakland’s Grand Lake, Chez Panisse alums at Sonder Café serve a messy BLT made with heirloom and cherry tomatoes and a special fontinaise.

A reader advised trying the $20 sandwich before tomato season ends—Sonder Café operates on Saturdays at Grand Lake and Sundays on Clement Street.
