Nvidia, rocked by CEO's sudden resignation, has ties to Sacramento-area AI plans

A major chipmaker whose founder and chief executive abruptly resigned Thursday had ties to a proposed artificial intelligence hub in the Sacramento area. Jensen Huang resigned as president , chief executive officer and a board member of Nvidia, the company said. He cofounded the company in 1993. Huang, 63, apologized Sunday for being “unfaithful to my wife,” CNBC reported. His apology followed reports that he had an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer. Alice Huang, who is not related to the former CEO, is reportedly suspected of being a Chinese spy, according to news reports. Jensen Huang also reportedly had an affair with Kimberly Powell, vice president of healthcare at the chipmaker. Colette Kress, Nvidia’s executive vice president and chief financial officer, was named interim CEO, the company said. Nvidia, based in Santa Clara, is a leading manufacturer of chips used to power artificial intelligence systems. What are Nvidia’s ties to Sacramento? In October 2025, Nvidia discussed plans to establish an AI innovation hub in Rancho Cordova in partnership with the Human Machine Collaboration Institute. The project was intended to “boost the city’s AI capabilities with AI infrastructure, workforce upskilling and student training,”

Mediterranean food truck owner opens restaurant in Sacramento-area shopping plaza

A Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food truck serving authentic shawarma and gyros has opened its first restaurant in Sacramento’s Arden Fair. Jeeroz Shawarma and Grill, 1735 Arden Way, opened in Arden Fair’s Market Square retail center on Sunday, Nov. 8. The food truck, known as Jeeroz Mediterranean Cuisine, has served the Sacramento area for three years. The Mediterranean restaurant operates inside an 2,400-square-foot restaurant space. Market Square at Arden Fair is anchored by Barnes & Noble. The food is all halal, meaning its meat preparation is aligned with Muslim dietary beliefs. Jeeroz specializes in wraps and plates served with a side of fries. Its most popular dishes are its chicken shawarma, chicken gyro and falafel wrap, according to Yelp. The Jeeroz food truck has been spotted in front of the CALPERS building on 400 Q St. in downtown Sacramento and at local events. In the fall, it appeared at the Folsom Mosque, Elk Grove’s Diversity Festival, and the Rocklin Community Farmers Market, according to its food truck schedule. The new brick and mortar location is the site of the former Dos Coyotes Border Cafe, which reopened in Market Square in 2022 after a temporary closure during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jeeroz

A Sacramento-area veteran suffered from PTSD. This service dog changed his life

Tony Escue’s service dog Hugh has helped him regain some of the independence he thought he’d lost — and shown him what life beyond constant anxiety could look like. Escue, a 32-year-old Orangevale resident, served for nearly 10 years in the U.S. Army before his medical retirement in 2023. That year, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, after years of symptoms that had made it difficult for him to go places on his own. He turned to Canine Companions, a Santa Rosa-based nonprofit that helps veterans and others by connecting them with service dogs. This led Escue to Hugh, a Labrador mix who is almost 4. Hugh can do everything from turning on lights to tucking himself into the carry-on bag area under an airplane seat so he can ride with Escue, who takes him everywhere. “I was so trapped in my head for so long – years,” Escue said during an interview at Orangevale Community Park with Hugh at his side. “He really helped me to be able to have some independence and have some freedom in my life, and really give my family the freedom that I was worried that they were missing out on.” Why Escue

Sacramento mayor promises school ICE notification policy, but district seeks more

Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty pledged to alert school districts when the city learns of nearby federal immigration enforcement activity, reversing his earlier position after mounting pressure from school officials . He called it a “top priority” amid a recent increase in immigration enforcement in the capital region. McCarty said the city would convene a meeting with six capital superintendents to develop a more formal communication process — but Sacramento City Unified leaders said they wanted more immediate action. McCarty told Sacramento City Unified School District Superintendent Cancy McArn in an email Tuesday afternoon that city officials would arrange a meeting with her and five other superintendents whose districts include schools within city limits to discuss “enhanced communication” about nearby U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity. But leaders of Sacramento City Unified, which serves most of the city’s students, want additional commitments from the mayor and City Manager Maraskeshia Smith. SCUSD serves most students in Sacramento, but the Natomas, Robla, San Juan, Elk Grove and Twin Rivers school districts also operate schools within city limits. Federal immigration enforcement activity has increased in south Sacramento in recent weeks. After reports that ICE agents detained the father of an Earl Warren Elementary School
