It took days to put out the Lineage warehouse fire in Los Angeles this summer. Once the flames were out, the cleanup of rotting food took weeks.

Residents suffered health problems, businesses lost customers and many questions are still unanswered.

Faith leaders and families of people detained by immigration agents are finishing a weeklong, 96-mile walk from the Adelanto ICE Processing Center to downtown L.A., in the middle of a heat wave.

Their final stop, midday Tuesday, is the Metropolitan Detention Center.

Organizers say the pilgrimage is meant to draw attention to conditions inside detention centers and to call for an end to the Trump administration's mass deportation project.

The FBI arrested a California real estate agent at the Los Angeles airport as she was leaving the country and accused her of spying for China on the president of Taiwan’s family, federal officials said.

Wanying Zhang, who went by the name Heather, surveilled the Taiwanese president’s son and his family last year for the Chinese government, according to the FBI.

The largest planned deportation program in U.S. history swept up more than 38,000 people in California since February 2025. The federal government purchased detention facilities, in part to avoid scrutiny from local governments. Protests erupted against the detentions and the facilities, and police dispersed those protests with the help of stun grenades.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a package of immigration bills that Democrats aim to disrupt the deportation program in California, limit the tactics of immigration enforcement agencies and open up federal agents to civil liability. The most significant bills will likely be tested in federal court.

Food assistance to pay for groceries is still available to many low-income California families who receive summer food assistance for their kids.

Nearly $106 million of the federally funded SUN Bucks benefits are still unspent — but eligible families have just a few weeks left to tap the money, according to the California Department of Social Services.

The differences between the two candidates for L.A. City Council District 9 became crystal clear for South L.A. residents during an energetic community forum in South Central on Saturday.

Attendees, who braved the extreme heat, told The LA Local they were happy to hear candidates Jose Ugarte and Estuardo Mazariegos discuss transportation, housing and making the community safer.

Gov. Gavin Newsom this week vetoed a bill that would’ve stopped the Department of Motor Vehicles’ practice of keeping excess proceeds from the sales of towed cars.

The DMV’s handling of the money came under scrutiny following a CalMatters investigation that showed the agency had kept millions of dollars in proceeds without notifying the cars’ owners.

People who can’t afford the fines and fees after their cars get towed sometimes leave their vehicles at the storage yards, which can sell cars to recoup the costs through what’s known as a lien sale. The DMV can keep the money.

City Administrative Officer Matt Szabo’s report found that more than 1,100 police vehicles not yet in use by the department were funded in the past three budget cycles. He said those should be sufficient for the Olympics.
