    Black bloc Antifa militants and other far-left extremists surrounded an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Los Angeles on Friday night, where they proceeded to violently riot and clash with federal agents. ICE carried out operations targeting at least seven businesses in Los Angeles on Friday, resulting in at least 45 arrests. The locations included two Home Depot stores, a store in the fashion district and a doughnut shop, according to Angelica Salas, the executive director of the Coalition of Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), who held an afternoon press conference to denounce the actions.

    Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell is standing by California’s leaders in defying President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportations. This comes after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Attorney General Rob Bonta have taken a defensive posture over the state’s immigrant population. Trump’s plan to deport would begin with criminally convicted illegal immigrants and then focus on immigrants who already have deportation orders.

McDonnell told the Associated Press that his department does not enforce immigration laws according to Special Order 40, a department policy prohibiting action related to immigration status established in...

    Some members of a Los Angeles County watchdog panel are calling on Sheriff Jim McDonnell to launch a thorough investigation into allegations of a secret society of deputies that brands its members with matching skull tattoos. The revelation this week that a deputy admitted to getting inked two years ago as part of a ritual within the Compton station has raised concerns that deputy cliques, long part of a controversial agency subculture, have persisted despite the department’s reform efforts. Hernán Vera, who serves on the Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission, said the deputy’s admission in a lawsuit over a fatal shooting...

    "The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act" isn't living up to its promise. Also known as Proposition 47, the California ballot initiative, which was approved in November 2014 with 60 percent of the vote, downgraded drug possession and many property crimes from a felony to a misdemeanor. Proponents argued that lesser punishment for low-level offenders would enhance public safety. San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon was the rare prosecutor who pushed for its approval. He told the San Francisco Chronicle, "What we have been doing hasn't worked, frankly." Gascon spokesman Alex Bastian told me, "The voters indicated that possessing small amounts...
