Valley Edition - February 6, 2018 - ICE In Fresno; Mark Arax; NASA & Air Quality

This week on Valley Edition - an exclusive report from Valley Public Radio's Kerry Klein about a secretive ICE facility hidden in plain sight in downtown Fresno, and why civil liberties groups are concerned about what goes on inside. We also talk with journalist Mark Arax about his new magazine article about billionaire valley farmers Stewart and Lynda Resnick. And we learn why NASA's JPL is examining air quality in the valley, both with low-cost air quality monitors on the ground, and new instruments that one day will measure our pollution from space.
