Deep Dive (May 4): Disneyland Welcomes Visitors Back One Year Later

|Updated:

States across the country are opening up—some more than others. For those missing Mickey Mouse, they can now see, but not hug. Walt Disney’s original theme park reopened for the first time in over a year in Anaheim, California. Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, meanwhile, just signed a bill banning vaccine passports. He also announced that starting July 1, all local pandemic emergency orders will be stopped.

Elsewhere in California, a new bill allowing tens of thousands of inmates to be released early is raising concerns. California is giving 76,000 inmates an opportunity to leave prison early as the state aims to reduce prison population. And a new state Senate bill seeks to redefine robbery as petty theft.
