DOJ demands names, release dates of non-citizens in CA jails as Trump deportation efforts ramp up
The Department of Justice on Thursday asked California sheriffs for data on their non-citizen inmates — including the crimes they committed and their release dates — in the latest escalation of President Donald Trump's mass-deportation plans. The federal law enforcement agency said it told sheriffs in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other California counties to turn over "lists of all inmates in their jails who are not citizens of the United States." If California does not voluntarily produce the requested information, the DOJ said it "will pursue all available means of obtaining the data, including through subpoenas or other compulsory process." Attorney General Pam Bondi's letter to LA County Sheriff Robert Luna asked for that data within 30 days. Bondi's letter also appears to reference a 2015 settlement agreement that the LA Sheriff's Department struck with the DOJ. That settlement, which was not related to immigration, required the department to provide the U.S. "full and complete access to the jails" and some related records. "This Administration is committed to enforcing federal immigration laws. Our highest priority is removing those illegal aliens who committed crimes after illegally entering the United States," Bondi wrote. The requests show the Trump administration ratcheting up pressure on major California cities, where it has already staged some of its most aggressive and controversial federal immigration enforcement raids. Bondi and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum on Thursday received a briefing at Alcatraz, the famed former prison island in San Francisco Bay, a senior DOJ official told NBC News. Trump has said he wants to reopen the facility, which has not operated as a prison since 1963 and currently stands as a museum operated by the National Park Service. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat who frequently clashes with Trump, swiped at Bondi later Thursday by referencing the ongoing controversy over the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files, which has engulfed her agency. "Pam Bondi will reopen Alcatraz the same day Trump lets her release the Epstein files," Newsom's press office wrote in an X post. "So… never." California's 2017 sanctuary law bars state and local police from arresting people on immigration grounds, and limits their participation in federal immigration enforcement activities. The law also limits when sheriff's departments can provide U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers with an incarcerated non-citizen's release date. The latest move by Trump's DOJ comes as federal immigration authorities have conducted sweeping deportation operations in California that have spurred a backlash in the form of heated protests and lawsuits.

Caitlyn Jenner's gesture to Sophia Hutchins family after heartbreaking death
Caitlyn Jenner's manager died after colliding with a car while on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride near Caitlyn's Malibu mansion Caitlyn Jenner has reportedly been supporting Sophia Hutchins' family after her manager tragically died while on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride near Caitlyn's Malibu mansion. The LA Sheriff's Department reported earlier this month that the 29-year-old died at around 11.30am. The crash occurred on Decker Canyon Road, which is a public road about a mile north of Pacific Coast Highway. Authorities were called, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. It was said that drones were used to help locate Sophia's body after the ATV collided with another vehicle on the road above. Almost two weeks after the tragic accident, it has been reported that Caitlyn, 75, has offered Sophie's mum Amy a place to stay as they grieve the late manager's death. A source recently told TMZ: "Both devastated, Caitlyn and Amy have been leaning on each other for support during this incredibly difficult time." The Mirror have reached out to Caitlyn's reps for comment. In previous reports from MailOnline, officers claimed Sophia was speeding at the time of the crash. "It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff," Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo said to the publication. "It doesn't seem like she was following them. I think she just she came up on them and then hit the car." The women in the Mazda, which Sophia is said to have tried to swerve around, were uninjured. The sergeant said: "So it looked like she tried to manoeuvre to go around it, but she was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there." It came as a source close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star disclosed to "Caitlyn is numb with shock. She is absolutely devastated and can't believe what's happened. Sophia was a big part of her life." Sophia helped Caitlyn with her professional affairs after her split from Kris Jenner in 2017. Sophia, who featured in Caitlyn's I Am Cait docuseries, wanted to help shield Caitlyn from exploitation. In a candid New York Times piece from 2019, she explained: "I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage. And I was saying: 'Caitlyn, if I don't step in here and start managing you, you're going to go broke'."

The US Sun reported that the LA Sheriff's Department said: "Our search and rescue responded from the station and we were able to find the location using our drones. "We have a drone program here at the station. So we had a drone go down there and search for the collision and then we sent our search and rescue down to try and rescue the driver of the Polaris." They added: "Sophia was driving the 2013 Polaris when she collided with the rear bumper of party two, which was also travelling southbound, so she was going faster than the other party. "The force of the collision caused party one's vehicle, the Polaris, to veer to the right and over the cliff side, travelling 350 feet down to the ravine below. Emergency medical personnel arrived onthe scene and determined that the driver of the Polaris was deceased. Party two and her passenger were not injured in the collision." They explained that they were currently waiting for "bloodwork" to come through to confirm that no one involved was intoxicated at the time of the crash. In a heartbreaking final post before the fatal accident, Sophia spoke about healing. She shared a snap of an ornament she had fixed, and wrote alongside it: "From a headless cherub, missing one leg, arm, and foot, to a healing cherub. You can officially call me surgeon, Dr. Hutchins…" Sophia was Caitlyn's manager but the pair were also close friends. She had been open about her own transgender journey and after her transition, said: "I truly feel my spirit, my soul, my mind is exactly the same, I am just so much more comfortable physically. Before I transitioned I felt like, 'Yeah, I'm definitely just a girl, but I'm in the wrong body.' And I felt trapped in that body. "And I needed to have the hormones to change the body, for me, the surgeries to change the body. But for me, that's what I wanted to do, and that's what made me ultimately so at peace."

Lucia and Antonia Aguilar: Twin Daughters of Senior LA Official Rick Cole Arrested During ICE Riots for Assaulting Police Office with Deadly Weapon
A senior Los Angeles official has revealed that his daughters were arrested for attacking a police officer with a deadly weapon during the ongoing riots. Rick Cole, the chief deputy controller of Los Angeles, announced at a rally that his twin daughters, Lucia Aguilar and Antonia, both 26 years old, were arrested on Sunday. "I've just seen pictures of my two daughters on a curb in downtown Los Angeles in handcuffs. So I'm going to be figuring out where they are so I can go bail them out," Cole, a former Pasadena mayor, told protesters outside a hotel in the city where there had been ICE raids earlier that day. Arrested for Attacking Cops Lucia and Antonia Aguilar were arrested after violence that saw rocks and other things thrown from a bridge into police vehicles on the 101 Freeway below, according to LA Sheriff's Department records obtained by the Daily Mail. They were taken into custody at around 7 p.m. on Sunday. No details on why the twin sisters were arrested have yet been released. Meanwhile, disturbing footage has surfaced showing an anti-ICE activist in Los Angeles blatantly handing out tactical gear to masked protesters as the violence escalates. On Monday afternoon, the unidentified man was seen on camera distributing what appeared to be gas masks and riot shields to the throng from the rear of a pickup truck, which was only a short distance from federal buildings in the downtown area. The video captured by Fox11 showed scores of rioters rushing towards the truck to grab the masks, which were marked with the brand name "bionic shield." "This is a worrying sight," Fox11 anchor Elex Michaelson reacted to the clip. "This is troublemakers. You don't put on a mask unless you have a plan of not wanting somebody to see your face. This is concerning." LA Riots Escalate President Donald Trump has dispatched about 700 Marines and an additional 2,000 members of the National Guard to keep the peace in Los Angeles as the disturbance enters its fifth day. Anti-ICE agitators were seen throwing rocks and cement at federal agents, setting cars on fire, and storming highways. The FBI claimed to be searching for a masked brute in one especially unsettling scenario. The man was identified as 40-year-old Elpidio Reyna, who was seen on camera throwing bricks at federal law enforcement officers as they passed. "WANTED: Elpidio Reyna can run, but he can't hide. He threw rocks at federal officers leaving a command post in Paramount on Saturday, a brazen attack caught on film and that could have resulted in deaths," Essayli, the top prosecutor in the Central District of California, wrote on X. The suspect was reportedly seen wearing a green and orange Los Angeles Lakers cap and a face mask while being filmed smashing cinder blocks into smaller chunks and throwing them at law enforcement officers. This was just one of many disturbing scenes during the protest, where thousands were captured on video torching self-driving WAYMO vehicles, damaging property, wielding hammers, and waving Mexican flags. The U.S. attorney said that Reyna has been charged with assaulting a federal officer and could be sentenced to up to eight years in prison if found guilty. An FBI spokesperson from the Los Angeles field office confirmed that Reyna remains at large and has not been arrested yet. "We're actively seeking his whereabouts," the spokesperson told The Post. "Our investigation is ongoing." "If you assault a police officer, if you rob a store, if you loot, if you spit on a police officer, we're coming after you."
