Los Angeles, CA – On Sunday, March 15, the People’s Care Collective (PCC), hosted an event on the steps of LA General Medical Center calling attention to the many violations of health and human rights that Los Angeles hospitals have enabled.

Arturo had only ever seen agents at the border before, never in Los Angeles. But on Friday, June 6, the Department of Homeland Security descended on a Home Depot near MacArthur Park. As on any other morning, Arturo had arrived at the store to wait alongside more than a hundred jornaleros for a day, or even a few hours, of construction work. He saw people running and heard screams of “la migra” before he laid eyes on the men in fatigues or understood that they were making arrests. He broke into a run, following a crowd through the store’s automatic doors.

Could Cities Partner With Guerilla Urbanists For Safer Streets?

Painting a crosswalk is cheap and easy. A group of neighbors can paint an entire intersection in one morning for $100 or less. Getting the city of Los Angeles to paint a crosswalk, on the other hand, might take 14 years and the death of a 9-year-old boy. Across L.A., neighbors are banding together to paint crosswalks to protest the city’s failure to protect people outside of cars. Jonathan Hale, a UCLA law student who goes by “Jonny,” spent four Saturday mornings painting crosswalks with neighbors at Stoner Park this summer, covering each corner of the park. After the city removed them, he went to the press and vowed to repaint them.

When Joe Porter, a 29-year-old video editor, moved into his 400-square-foot studio apartment in Los Angeles four years ago, his bills for water, trash removal and pest control were bundled together into one monthly payment that came out to about $60. After the first few years, Porter said, his bill increased to about $200. When he asked his landlord – the giant real estate investment trust Equity Residential — for an explanation, he was told billing was done by a third party and that Equity could not provide a more detailed breakdown. Like many landlords of multifamily buildings, Equity uses a billing method called ratio utility billing systems (RUBS). Landlords who use this system divvy up the costs of the building’s total utilities usage according to each unit’s square footage and number of tenants.

A protester was acquitted Wednesday of charges that he assaulted a federal agent during widespread protests against immigration crackdowns in Los Angeles, just hours after one of the faces of President Trump’s enforcement policies took the stand to testify against him. U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino — the brash agent who led a phalanx of military personnel into MacArthur Park this summer — was called as a witness Wednesday in a federal misdemeanor assault case against Brayan Ramos-Brito, who was accused of striking a federal agent. Bovino, who flew in to testify from Chicago, the latest city targeted for an immigration enforcement surge, said he witnessed the alleged assault committed by Ramos-Brito in Paramount on June 7.

At 8 a.m. on July 4, about a dozen people gathered in front of a tamale cart stationed outside an abandoned 99-cent store building in Pasadena, California — some 10 miles outside of Los Angeles. While the tamales were delicious, that wasn’t the only thing drawing out the crowd — they were there for a fundraiser to support 14-year-old Chris Garcia, who started running his mom’s cart after ICE took some of her customers a few weeks earlier. Her business suffered, and she fell behind in bills, so Garcia stepped up. An hour after the event started, the lowrider car community came cruising and bouncing down the street in support of Garcia. People started buying tamales by the dozens.

How Can Los Angeles Host The 2028 Olympics Now?

This show must not go on. It’s time, right now, for greater Los Angeles to halt all preparations to host the 2028 Summer Olympics. Let’s step away, and turn over these Games to a world city better positioned to host them. Not because we don’t love the Olympics. We are a proud Olympic city, shaped by the 1932 and 1984 Games. In normal times, our incomparable international connections, entertainment assets, and sports facilities would allow us to host what LA28 chair Casey Wasserman calls “the largest peacetime gathering in the history of the world.” But it’s no longer peacetime in Los Angeles.

Trump’s ICE Raids Target Working-Class Immigrants, Not Criminals

July 16, 2025 Jalyssa Dugrot, MintPress News. Resistance Report Deportations, Detention, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Los Angeles

Following Donald Trump’s pledge to detain 3,000 undocumented immigrants per day, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have surged across the United States. California, home to an estimated 2.8 million undocumented immigrants as of 2023. has emerged as a primary target. Department of Homeland Security official Kristi Noem traveled to Los Angeles for a press conference, declaring the government’s intent to “bring in criminals that have been out on our street far too long.” But data tells a different story. According to ICE datasets analyzed by the Los Angeles Times, during the first 10 days of June, ICE arrested 722 undocumented immigrants in California.
