L.A. County’s secretive $2 million payout to its CEO two months ago — first revealed by LAist this week— was to settle her claims that she was harmed by a ballot measure that will change her job to an elected position and by the county’s messaging.

Just got this statement in from Penske…
6 Aug 2025
Breaking: DHS arrives in Penske trucks at a Home Depot in McArthur Park area of LA for early morning immigration enforcement. The area was filled with migrants who scattered. DHS says MS 13 has a chokehold on this area, which is one reason they’re carrying out the highly optic immigration raids. 16 taken into custody.

Diaz has no criminal history. He’s had DACA protection since 2013. He had his real ID in his wallet, but agents took the wallet away
I asked DHS why Diaz was arrested and held for week. Their response: “Deferred action does not confer any form of legal status in this country.”
22 Jul 2025
I spent time with Javier Diaz Santana, who is deaf and unable to speak. He was working at a car wash when ICE raided it.
Diaz is a DACA recipient, allowing him to live and work in the U.S., but ICE arrested him and held him for weeks in El Paso.

Working on story about this now -- stop scooping me from Texas, former colleague! -- but this is a massive repudiation of A.G. Rob Bonta, who brought these charges against one of ex-L.A. D.A. George Gascon's highest-ranking advisers in the middle of his re-election campaign.

Story is coming on this. I spent hours out there this morning. Here’s what I heard.
People told me that Border Patrol agents arrived around 7:30 am and were surrounding the Home Depot parking lot, covering all the entrances.

I’m here at the Home Depot on Sunset Boulevard, where people are reporting that several vendors were arrested by immigration agents. I talked to a woman whose dad was taken. She said she’d put in papers two weeks ago to try and get him a U visa.

No more National Guard troops outside the Metropolitan Detention Center downtown.
They have all been replaced by CBP and DHS agents following the court order halting the use of the National Guard in L.A.

.@SenAlexPadilla is one of the most decent people I know.
This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.
Trump and his shock troops are out of control.
This must end now.
