Teddi Mellencamp's Los Angeles home target of burglary as she was home with kids and husband
Two people allegedly attempted to burglarize former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Teddi Mellencamp's Los Angeles home on Monday night, her husband said. Three people jumped their gate and set off their alarm system, Mellencamp's estranged husband Edwin Arroyave told NBC News Los Angeles. The suspects broke in through a side door into their office, but fled after about 20 seconds he said. He and Mellencamp were both home at the time with their four children, who ranged in age from 5 to 16 years old. "By the time we came down, they had already ran out," Arroyave said. "But I just saw, obviously, the doors open at the house and stuff." A spokesperson from the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to NBC News that officers responded to a report of a burglary on Mellencamp's block at 10:15 p.m. on Monday night. The caller told officers that two men in black hoodies came to their house after a neighbor's house was burglarized, police said. Arroyave believes the suspects were scared off by the security system and the fact that people were home. Officers arrived quickly, but the suspects fled before they got to the house, Arroyave added. "You really don't see anything because they have hoods, fully covered, gloves," Arroyave said. "I mean, they're professionals at what they do and stuff, although these seem pretty young." Break-ins have become an "unfortunate thing" happening with some frequency in Los Angeles, he said. Arroyave focused on the positive aspects of the incident and that everyone was safe despite the scary moment. He urged others to "prepare for the unexpected." Mellencamp made headlines earlier this year when she revealed doctors found multiple tumors on her brain. She posted in February that she went to the hospital with a debilitating headache that prompted scans. She had previously been open about her ongoing battle with stage 2 melanoma, which metastasized into stage 4 cancer with tumors developed on her lungs and brain. Mellencamp shared later that month that the tumors 'significantly shrunk" following surgery and immunotherapy. In addition to her health struggle, Mellencamp is separated from Arroyave, but they paused divorce proceedings amid her cancer treatment. Arroyave has his own home but sometimes stays in a guest room at Mellencamp's house, according to Bravo, home of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." This helps ensure that Mellencamp never sleeps alone while she deals with her health issues.

California City Scraps Its ICE Contract as Protests Rage
A California city is scrapping a contract it had with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security to house federal immigration detainees amid clashes between law enforcement and protesters in Los Angeles. The City of Glendale announced Sunday it is terminating the deal it has maintained since 2007, which allowed federal detainees to be held at the Glendale Police Department facility, after acknowledging that public perception of the arrangement has 'become divisive.' The move to cancel the ICE contract arrives amid a weekend of protests and rioting in Los Angeles against a series of Trump-backed immigration crackdowns across the city. California Governor Gavin Newsom accused the president of escalating the unrest by deploying hundreds of National Guard troops to L.A. and posting inflammatory social media comments. Glendale was accused of violating California's sanctuary state law, which prohibits local law enforcement from using resources for federal immigration enforcement, by housing the federal detainees. At least 82 people detained by ICE have been held at the Glendale Police Department facility since January, according to NBC News Los Angeles. 'Despite the transparency and safeguards the City has upheld, the City recognizes that public perception of the ICE contract—no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good—has become divisive,' the City of Glendale said in a statement. 'And while opinions on this issue may vary—the decision to terminate this contract is not politically driven. It is rooted in what this City stands for: public safety, local accountability, and trust.' The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast. The city also rejected allegations raised during a council meeting last week that detainees held at the police facility were denied food and water for hours. Officials insisted all immigration detainees were provided a bed and access to medical care. Glendale said its police department will continue to abstain from immigration enforcement and will remain fully compliant with California's SB 54 sanctuary laws. Andres Kwon, senior policy counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, previously accused Glendale of violating the state's sanctuary laws by housing ICE detainees. 'Ultimately and effectively, this Glendale contract with ICE is helping the Trump administration carry out its mass deportation agenda that is racist and has abused countless people's constitutional, civil, and human rights,' Kwon told NBC News Los Angeles.
