She shared that there was a period when they both believed they needed to handle everything: careers, family, and personal aspirations on their own. 'There was a time when both of us were trying to do it all by ourselves... You quickly realize, no, you're stronger and better together,' Ayesha shared, as reported in a press release from the Create & Cultivate Festival. — KTLA (@KTLA) This confession resonated deeply.

Surfing instructor has arm severed while pushing heavy e-bike across Amtrak tracks
A California surfing instructor had her arm ripped off by a speeding Amtrak train in a gruesome freak accident that occurred as she tried to wheel her e-bike across the railroad tracks. Elieah Boyd, 24, was pushing her 80-pound bike across the tracks in Ventura just before 5.30pm on July 7 when a train came barreling toward her. 'There was no train horn. It was like three seconds from when I saw the train to when it happened,' she told KTLA. 'I just happened to have my hand still on the bike as the train goes by. The train barely clipped the bike, just enough to take my arm completely off.' Her bicycle had gotten stuck in the tracks just moments before the collision, according to the Ventura Police Department. 'Officers arrived on scene and immediately began providing first aid,' the department said in a press release. 'Paramedics transported the woman to a local hospital, along with her severed arm, which was located nearby.' Boyd's arm was found after a retired firefighter, who had been walking with her, prompted the search. The young surf instructor described the incident as 'the tragedy of a lifetime' in an Instagram post detailing her recovery.

She was told upon her arrival at the hospital that she would be airlifted to UCI Medical Center where a team was waiting with hopes to save her arm. Boyd endured a grueling 10-hour surgery, and miraculously awoke to find it had successfully been reattached. 'Words can't express how grateful I am to the medical teams who gave me this chance, and to everyone behind the scenes supporting me through the long process of healing and recovery,' she explained. 'This will undoubtedly be the most difficult journey I've ever faced. But I'm holding on to hope and staying as strong and positive as I can. 'I have full faith that with time, more procedures, and rehab, I'll regain as much function as possible.' Boyd hopes she will 'be on a surfboard' as soon as possible.

Demonstrators, federal agents seen in violent downtown L.A. clash
Editor's Note: KTLA has emailed officials with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for confirmation of this incident and is awaiting a response. A violent clash between demonstrators and officers from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security reportedly unfolded outside the federal courthouse, near the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles Thursday afternoon. The incident, according to a witness who emailed KTLA, unfolded at around 1:15 p.m. in the 500 block of North Alameda Street. In camera footage of the clash, officers donning bullet-proof vests emblazoned with the words 'Homeland Security' crossed the street where a handful of 'Occupy ICE' demonstrators were camped out in front of signs, many of them containing profanity, protesting the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in L.A. It's unclear why officers initially approached the demonstrators, but the situation quickly devolved into a violent physical struggle where several people, including two women, were taken to the ground as a man was pulled out of the group and separated by several officers. Another man, in a white T-shirt with a backpack, looked as if he was yelling at officers to stop, prompting one of the officers armed with what appeared to be a less-than-lethal firearm to raise the weapon in the man's direction. Southern California deputies recover partially assembled improvised explosives in man's home As the confrontation continued, the man initially pulled into the street can be seen struggling with agents, eventually ending up on the ground with three officers on top of him. Another protester was caught by DHS officers as he attempted to run away from the scene. The witness claimed that federal officers crossed the street without provocation, adding that an official later said one of the men was targeted for permanent-marker graffiti, though these details have not yet been confirmed by federal officials. It is unclear if any arrests were made. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

California illegal immigrant, mom faked ICE ‘kidnapping' for fundraiser scam and to ‘smear' federal agents: DOJ
An illegal immigrant and mother was arrested for staging a fake 'kidnapping' — where bounty hunters took her at gunpoint and tried forcing her to self-deport at a fast-food restaurant — to scam people and 'smear federal law enforcement.' Yuriana Julia 'Juli' Pelaez Calderon, 41, was charged with conspiracy and making false statements to federal officers over the elaborate scheme on Thursday, according to the Department of Justice. 'Dangerous rhetoric that ICE agents are 'kidnapping' illegal immigrants is being recklessly peddled by politicians and echoed in the media to inflame the public and discredit our courageous federal agents,' US Attorney Bill Essayli said in a statement. 6 The DOJ announced charges against Yuriana Julia 'Juli' Pelaez Calderon, accusing her of orchestrating a fake kidnapping by federal immigration agents to generate sympathy and solicit donations. KTLA 5 'The conduct alleged in today's complaint shows this hoax kidnapping was a well-orchestrated conspiracy.' The hoax kicked off when Calderon's family and attorneys held a press conference on June 30, saying armed men ambushed her in two unmarked trucks at a Jack in the Box restaurant parking lot in downtown Los Angeles. Her family claimed that the men brought Calderon to San Ysidro, where 'she was presented to [a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement] staffer' and 'presented with voluntary self-deportation paperwork,' according to officials. The family's attorney claimed that Calderon refused to sign the paperwork and demanded to speak with a judge and a lawyer, but instead was 'punished' and held in a warehouse. Following the media attention, Calderon's daughter created a GoFundMe page and requested $4,500. 'My name is Angeline Gonzalez, and my mother, Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, was taken by masked men in an unmarked vehicle on June 25th,' the since-deleted page read. 6 Family, friends, and community members of Calderon during a Los Angeles, California, on June 30, 2025. REUTERS The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) vehemently denied the claims that the Los Angeles mother was abducted. DHS agents launched an investigation into the alleged kidnapping, spending days looking for Calderon, and at one point, had ICE agents searching 'detention cell to detention cell,' according to officials. Agents located Calderon in a shopping plaza parking lot in Bakersfield on July 5. Authorities stated that she continued to assert she had been kidnapped and held 'with others.' 6 Calderon is seen on surveillance footage walking around after her family claimed she had been kidnapped. KTLA 5 6 Agents located Calderon in a shopping plaza parking lot in Bakersfield on July 5. KTLA 5 However, surveillance footage showed Calderon leaving a Jack in the Box parking lot and getting into a sedan, and telephone records also indicate the story was a hoax, according to the DOJ. Before the hoax was foiled, Calderon's family planned to hold another press conference on July 6 to increase donations for her GoFundMe. They had also allegedly created fabricated photos of her 'rescue' to make it appear as if she was abused by ICE agents, officials said. 'Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon was never arrested or kidnapped by ICE or bounty hunters—this criminal illegal alien scammed innocent Americans for money and diverted limited DHS resources from removing the worst of the worst from Los Angeles communities,' the DHS said. The agency then bashed 'politicians and activist media' for peddling 'smears that were designed to demonize law enforcement and evade accountability.' 'Calderon will now face justice and the media and politicians who swallowed and pushed this garbage should be embarrassed,' DHS said. 6 Prior to the hoax being foiled, Calderon's family planned to hold another press conference on July 6 to increase donations for her GoFundMe. REUTERS 6 Authorities stated that she continued to assert she had been kidnapped and held 'with others.' KTLA 5 A spokesperson for the online fundraising site told KTLA it has 'zero tolerance for the misuse of our platform, or any attempt to exploit the generosity of others,' and that her page was removed and the '$80 raised was refunded.' 'At no point did the organizer have access to any of the funds,' the spokesperson said. Calderon faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison if convicted for each charge. The DOJ indicated that additional individuals involved could also face charges.

Police seize fire truck in posh LA neighborhood in case with bizarre twist
(KTLA) — Police and federal agents raided a California home Wednesday afternoon and seized, among other evidence, a fire truck that may be tied to a Chino Hills man who was arrested nearly two years ago for impersonating a law enforcement officer and creating a fictional fire department. The Los Angeles Police Department's (LAPD) Major Crimes Division confirmed to Nexstar's KTLA that they, along with assistance from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, executed a search warrant at a home in Brentwood. Officials would only say that a person at the residence was arrested on charges related to firearms violations, government fraud and impersonating a first responder. One of the items taken from the home and impounded at a tow yard in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Wilmington was a fire truck registered to the Santa Muerte Fire Department. The Santa Muerte Fire Department and law enforcement arson investigative unit, which does not exist despite a website claiming it does, came up in a July 2023 investigation in San Bernardino County. During that incident, a Chino Hills man identified as then- 42-year-old Andrew De Boer, was caught on surveillance cameras dressed in a fake uniform, armed with a gun, baton, pepper spray and a Santa Muerte badge, illegally conducting a traffic stop. De Boer's vehicle, a white Ford F-350 truck, was equipped with California-exempt license plates, fire department decals and emergency lights. California professor shot dead in Greece in apparent plot involving ex-wife De Boer was arrested and booked on charges of impersonating a law enforcement officer and false imprisonment. Investigators with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department executed a search warrant at his Chino Hills residence and found additional evidence, including body armor, firearms, an identification card, badges and uniforms with patches for the Santa Muerte Fire Department. So far, the LAPD is being tight-lipped about Wednesday's raid in Brentwood. The identity of the person taken into custody has not been released, nor have police said what other evidence was seized during the operation and whether there are any ties to De Boer's 2023 arrest.
