Foreign agent for China linked to Arcadia councilwoman gets prison sentence

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

Apolitical operative for China who was a chief advisertoArcadia

Mayor Eileen Wang received a four-year prison sentence Monday.

Yaoning Sun, 65, of Chino Hills, pleaded guilty Oct. 3 to one federal count of acting as an illegal agent of a foreign power.

"Beginning in at least 2022, and continuing through at least January 2024 ... defendant knowingly acted in the United States as an agent of a foreign government, namely, the People’s Republic of China, and officials of that government, without prior notification to the Attorney General of the United States, as required by law," according to Sun's plea agreement filed in Los Angeles federal court.

Sun, who also uses the first name Mike, worked as the treasurer for Wang, who federal prosecutors refer to only as an unnamed Southern California politician running for city council of a city in Los Angeles County. The candidate was elected in November 2022, according to court documents, coinciding with Wang's victorious campaign.

“The investigation natu-

rally raises concerns and questions about the extent of Sun’s involvement locally and throughout the region,"

Arcadia City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto said in a statement Dec. 23. "At this time, Sun’s involvement is considered an isolated incident, with no known association with other members of the Arcadia City Council. Importantly, we can confirm that Sun had no

involvement whatsoever with city of Arcadia business or decision-making.

On Feb. 3 Wang was sworn in as mayor, a mostly honorary title that rotates among council members every nine months. She did not mention Sun's conviction during remarks that followed her mayoral oath of office but

See China agent Page 31

did assert the importance of clear allegiances.

"When I speak about loving this country, when I speak about loyalty, it is not just words. It is personal," Wang said after the swearingin. "As Americans — and especially as elected officials — our loyalty must always be clear to this country, to our Constitution, to our residents and to no one else. I firmly oppose any attempts by any foreign governments to influence or interfere with our public institutions or local decisions. Arcadia's future must be decided by Arcadia residents."

Outgoing Mayor Sharon Kwan told HeySoCal.com she was "deeply unsettled" by the "tone of unquestioning praise and enthusiasm" for the new mayor from people in attendance at the Feb. 3 City Council meeting, including council members David Fu, Dr. Michael Cao and newly sworn-in Mayor Pro Tem Paul Cheng. At the public meeting, however, Kwan echoed the positivity.

"What is said has been said, I echo their words," Kwan remarked Feb. 3.

Nithya Raman challenges Karen Bass in LA mayor's race

Los Angeles City CouncilwomanNithya Raman entered the race for mayor Saturday, challenging incumbent and political ally Karen Bass hours before the noon deadline for candidates to file paperwork for the June 2 primary.

During a morning news conference, Raman said she and Bass share many values about what matters for the city, but that Los Angeles faces issues with affordability and housing, among other things, that she hopes to change.

"I do feel like Angelenos have really given us a lot of faith. Voted for more taxes to address affordable housing issues, to address homelessness, to address some of our biggest crises, and if we don't show results to them, I think we will lose them," Raman said.

"We are making decisions about our budget that are based on political calculations, as opposed to what is best for Angelenos and what is best for Los Angeles' middle class," Raman added. "I think we can change."

Raman said she was "afraid that the city is no longer a place of opportunity."

"Los Angeles is at a

breaking point, and people feel it in the most basic ways," she said. "Housing costs are forcing families out of the city. A homelessness system that lacks clear ownership and accountability is leaving people stuck in crisis, while the city cycles from emergency to emergency. Too many people don't feel safe walking down their own blocks at night even as crime comes down, because broken street lights stay broken, and the city can't seem to manage the basics."

Raman described her relationship with Bass as "strong and close," built over the last few years. She said she spoke with Bass about her mayoral run, but did not provide further details, saying that she "prefers to maintain that privacy right now."

Raman acknowledged that her decision to run came late, and will likely impact her prospects for endorsements from labor groups, political organizations and others.

"It's very late in the process to get in the game. I was an outsider when I first ran, and I think I'll be an outsider in this race, and I'm OK with that," she said.

Bass admitted she didn't

Newsom announces funding for LA ﬁre survivors to access pre-built housing

By Staff

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday announced $10 million in additional funding Friday to help Los Angeles-area fire survivors access factory-built housing to help speed up rebuilding.

Following the governor's executive orders to streamline project approvals, local agencies have OK'd over 3,100 rebuilding permits at a rate about three times faster than prior to the fires, officials said. Some fire survivors who have used modular housing or other prefabricated options are living in new homes.

Details on factory-built options for speedier rebuilding are available from the rebuilding tool the state launched with LA Rises, the state's recovery initiative. Officials said the prefab designs aim to maintain the unique character and style of recovering neighborhoods.

“Rebuilding after wildfires shouldn’t take years," Newsom said in a statement. "As LA fire survivors continue to recover, we’re cutting red tape by accelerating housing solutions that get families back in their homes faster while building stronger and more resilient housing for the future.”

Existing state funding can help survivors acquire factory-built homes that "are built off-site in controlled, highefficiency facilities and delivered ready for installation," according to the governor's office. The program's third round of funding makes available an additional $10 million, and the application period will open at a "soon" but unspecified date.

Officialsencouraged companies and nonprofits developingfactory-built housing in the Los Angeles area to apply, in addition to local governments, tribes and other entities.

“Factory-built housing helps communities move from loss to stability faster,” Erin Curtis, executive director of the California Strategic Growth Council, said in a statement. “By shortening construction timelines and

reducing costs, it can help get families back into their homes and neighborhoods sooner and give wildfireimpacted communities a real chance to recover and rebuild early — when support matters most.”

The governor's office describedfactory-built housing as more than a temporary solution that is a "forward-looking tool" for reconstructing neighborhoods quicker and more sustainably. In an effort to get residents rehoused as soon as possible, areas of focus include streamlined and lowwaste production, durable, fire-resistant materials and climate-adaptive designs.

Arya Group recently completed construction of Versa Villa in Pacific Palisades that includes factorybuilt precision steel and was completed less than six months from permit issuance, officials said. The builder reports that the home is designed to be fully autonomous in responding to wildfire threats, protected by four to six hours of fire-resistant materials, an exterior sprinkler system with on-site water reserves and tanks and an around-the-clock autonomous defense system that forecasts, detects and responds to wildfire conditions in real-time.

State officials highlighted the experiences of several Altadena and Palisades residents with factory-built and modular houses, noting streamlinedpermitting leading to swiftly completed structures.

“Factory-built housing can help wildfire survivors get back into safe, stable homes faster,” Tomiquia Moss, secretary of the state Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency, said in a statement. “This program is an important tool to help communities rebuild quickly and more sustainably, while also improving resilience to future climate impacts and disasters.”

Katherine Perez, chief development officer for the nonprofit New Economics for Women, said in a statement, “This type of housing will be part of the solution to getting wildfire victims back to their homes and re-introducing rental housing into Altadena. We lost so much naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) in Altadena, and that loss hit our seniors, low-income families, and veterans especially hard. These investments reflect what our community needs to move forward.”

On Jan. 7, 2025, Newsom issued an emergency proclamation to help streamline state laws and make resources more quickly available. Over the next 12 months, this order would be followed by 28 executive orders based on feedback from survivors, local communities, and first responders to help target resources, accelerate recovery, and remove red tape, officials said.

As of late January, out of 6,612 applications received, 3,106 rebuilding permits

have been issued by agencies LA County and city, the governor's office reported. Comparatively, a year after the 2018 Camp Fire — which like the Eaton and Palisades fires destroyed thousands of homes — 385 permits were issued. In Maui, construction on the first home did not begin until almost a year after the devastating fire there in 2023.

Newsom repeated his call Friday for federal assistance for wildfire survivors with a fourth request for funding. He traveled to Washington, D.C in early December to advocate for fire survivors, renewing his call for immediate approval of disaster legislation and urging Congress and President Donald Trump "to deliver the same compassion and urgency that have been extended to other communities across the nation" that have suffered large-scale disasters, officials said.

Federal government money for long-term recovery is "critical" to

- "Fund the rebuilding of schools, childcare centers, homes, and vital community facilities;

- "Keep small businesses open, support the economy, and maintain jobs; (and)

- "Restore damaged water systems, rebuild responder infrastructure, and improve air quality monitoring," according to state officials.

LA County's online portal for fire recovery resources is at recovery.lacounty.gov.

Home affordability trends up in SoCal, statewide

By City News Service

Housing affordability slightlyimproved inCaliforniain the fourth quarter of 2025, as moderating prices and cooling market competition lowered borrowing costs and allowed more Californians to qualify for mortgages, the California Association of Realtors announced Tuesday.

Eighteen percent of California households could afford to purchase the $869,300 median-priced home in the fourth quarter of 2025, up from 17% in third-quarter 2025 and 16% in fourth-quarter 2024, according to CAR.

Those trends were mirrored in the Southland, where the Los Angeles metro area improved to 17% from the third quarter, and from 15% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

In Los Angeles County as a whole, the affordability number was 13% in the fourth quarter, up from 12% the previous quarter and 12% one year earlier.

Orange County saw its number increase to 14%, up from 13% in the third quarter and 12% in the fourth quarter of 2024. CAR estimated the

average monthly home payment including taxes and insurance in Los Angeles County was $5,760 in the fourth quarter, with a minimum qualifying income of $230,400.

For Orange County, the average monthly home payment was $8,560, with a minimum qualifying income of $342,400.

Those trends were also mirrored in Riverside County, which improved to 24% from 23% in the third quarter, and from 21% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The numbers were identical for the Inland Empire region.

CAR estimated the average monthly home payment including taxes and insurance in Riverside County was $3,880 in the fourth quarter, with a minimum qualifying income of $155,200.

The statewide fourthquarter 2025 figure is less than a third of the affordability index peak of 56% in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Factors contributing to the decline include the effective interest rate dropping for the third consecutive quarter to its lowest level since thirdquarter 2022. The average

effective interest rate receded to 6.35% in fourthquarter 2025 from 6.67% the previous quarter and was 41 basis points below the level 6.76% recorded a year earlier.

Mortgage rates, which oscillated throughout the first six months of 2025 due partly to tariff-induced uncertainty,trended modestly lower in the second half of the year as the Federal Reserve's expected rate cuts kick- started the decline.

The median price of an existing single-family home declined for the second straight quarter in the fourth quarter of 2025, falling 2.2% statewide as market competition cooled, typical for the year-end period.

Analysts said home prices should remain soft for the next couple of months but could rebound as the homebuying season begins in late March/early April.

Compared with California, 39% of the nation's households could afford to purchase a $414,900 median-priced home, which required a minimum annual income of $101,600 to make monthly payments of $2,540, CAR said.

Valentine’s Day Gifts to Avoid

Valentine’s Day is meant to celebrate love, appreciation, and connection, but the wrong gift can unintentionally send the opposite message. While it’s truly the thought that counts, some presents are more likely to miss the mark than make hearts flutter. Being mindful of what to avoid can help ensure your gesture feels sincere and well received. One common misstep is gifting practical household items like kitchen appliances, cleaning tools, or cookware — unless specifically requested. While useful, these gifts can feel more like chores than romantic gestures. Similarly, office supplies or work-related items may come across as impersonal

on a day meant to feel special.

Fragrances and skincare products can also be risky. Scents are deeply personal, and choosing the wrong one may suggest you don’t fully know the recipient’s tastes. Along the same lines, clothing can be tricky if you’re unsure of sizing or style preferences, potentially leading to discomfort rather than delight.

Another gift to reconsider is pets or live animals. They require long-term responsibility and should always be a mutual decision rather than a surprise.

Tech gadgets can also fall ﬂat if they’re chosen for convenience or personal interest rather than the recipient’s lifestyle or needs.

Last-minute gifts, such as generic cards with no personal message or “IOU” promises for future plans, may feel rushed or incomplete. Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to show intention, and vague gestures often lack the emotional impact of something thoughtfully planned.

The best Valentine’s Day gifts reﬂect understanding and care. By steering clear of overly practical, impersonal, or potentially sensitive items, you leave room for presents that genuinely express love — whether that’s a meaningful experience, a heartfelt note, or something uniquely tailored to your partner. Thoughtfulness will always outshine extravagance.

LA federal judge blocks law banning masks for immigration agents

By City News Service

ALos Angeles federal judge Monday blocked Californiafrom enforcing a new law limiting when federal agents can wear masks while engaged in deportation operations, but upheld a second law requiring local, state and federal law enforcement personnel to display their name or badge number while on duty.

Senior U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder rejected the Trump administration's claim that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents need to wear masks to prevent doxing, meaning the online disclosure of agents' personal information that could lead to harassment or targeting.

However, the judge said in her ruling that California's No Secret Police Act appears to discriminate against the federal government because its provisions do not apply to state or local law enforcement officers.

Snyder wrote that the act "treats federal law enforcement officers differently than similarly situated state law enforcement officers."

But the judge upheld the No Vigilantes Act, a separate new state law which requires most local, state and federal law enforcement personnel to display their name or badge number while on duty.

The laws, passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom, came in response to the Trump administration's

illegal immigration raids in Southern California in the summer, during which masked, unidentified federal officers detained people as part of the president's mass deportation program.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday applauded the judge's ruling on masks, calling the decision "ANOTHER key court victory thanks to our outstanding" DOJ attorneys.

"Following our arguments, a district court in California BLOCKED the enforcement of a law that would have banned federal agents from wearing masks to protect their identities," Bondi posted on social media.

"These federal agents are harassed, doxxed, obstructed, and attacked on a regular basis just for doing their jobs. We have no tolerance for it. We will continue fighting and winning in court for President Trump's law-andorder agenda -- and we will ALWAYS have the backs of our great federal law enforcement officers."

The U.S. Department of Justice sued California, Newsom and state Attorney General Rob Bonta in September, challenging what the federal government claims is an "unconstitutional" attempt to impede federal law enforcement by imposing the mask ban and identification requirement on officers.

The laws made California the first state in the nation to prohibit federal

law enforcement, including agents of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, from hiding their identities, and requiring non-uniformed federal law enforcement to visibly display identification information, including agency, name or badge number during enforcement duties.

Snyder, a nominee of President Bill Clinton, heard the DOJ's arguments last month for a preliminary injunction that aims to pause the laws.

The laws took effect Jan. 1, but are not being enforced while their constitutionality is challenged in court.

"A federal court upheld California's law requiring federal agents to identify themselves -- a clear win for the rule of law," Newsom said in a statement Monday. "No badge and no name mean no accountability. California will keep standing up for civil rights and our democracy."

The judge's ruling allows legislators to rewrite the No Secret Police Act without an exemption for state law enforcement. Newsom has not said whether he would sign a revised version of the bill.

"Today's court ruling confirms what PORAC has been saying about SB 627 all along -- the bill was a political maneuver that deceived Californians, especially our immigrant communities, about the state's ability to regulate the actions of

federal law enforcement agents," Brian R. Marvel, president of the Peace Officers Research Association of California, the state's largest law enforcement labor organization, said in a statement.

"Now that federal agents have been exempted from the law's implementation, local peace officers are the ones whose longstanding protections are at risk. We knew this exemption was coming -- California has no jurisdiction over federal agents -- and we communicated this to the bill's author and the Legislature on multiple occasions. We diligently offered amendments that would have provided a workable solution, but nevertheless, the bill was rushed through.

"Up until the bill's last

hearing, (state) Senator (Scott) Wiener misled lawmakers about the bill's efficacy, unable to articulate what the bill actually covers due to its confusing and inconsistent language. Now, only local officers will bear the brunt of this bill*s implementation, which will undoubtedly have a chilling effect on our profession that is already facing the worst staffing shortage we've seen in decades.

"As we promised when the bill was signed, PORAC has already begun advocating for critical changes to this law. We are working closely with Governor Newsom who has already directed the Legislature to make this right."

The DOJ lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles federal court, alleges that the No

Secret Police Act and the No Vigilantes Act threaten the safety of officers facing harassment, doxing and violence while carrying out enforcement duties.

The DOJ also says the laws violate the Constitution's Supremacy Clause, under which states have no power to control the operations of the federal government.

"California's anti-law enforcement policies discriminate against the federal government and are designed to create risk for our agents. These laws cannot stand," according to a statement from the department.

The Trump administration's complaint states that the federal government does not intend to comply with the challenged laws.

Dana Point getting beach stair cage replacement

Orange County Public Works will install a new chain-link stair cage around the beach stairs near the Ocean Institute within the City of Dana Point. Work will begin Feb. 17 and wrap up by March 3. Expect to see activity Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, these estimated construction hours and schedule will vary due to tides, inclement weather, ocean conditions and other factors. Crews will remove the existing chain-link stair cage at the beach entrance at the northwest end of Dana Point Harbor, near the Ocean Institute. A new aluminum coated chain-link stair cage, maintaining the same height and size of the previous stair cage, will be installed in its place. Beach stairway access will be closed for the two-week duration of the project.

Improvements coming to the 210 Freeway offramp at Waterman Avenue

Starting on Wednesday, Feb. 17, Caltrans will begin work on a $7.2 million project to expand the eastbound offramp to the 210 Freeway at Waterman Avenue. When completed, the project is expected to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve safety for motorists exiting at Waterman Avenue. Heavy traffic volume at the current Waterman Avenue off-ramp often backs up onto the 210 Freeway, raising collision risks. This project aims to increase the off-ramp capacity and improve signal operations, reducing queue spillback, enhancing intersection performance, and boosting overall safety. To minimize traffic impacts, much of the construction work will take place at night, although some periodic daytime work and weekend closures of the ramp will be required.

Around town: Priority One Credit Union, SmileHaus host ‘Health & Wealth’ community event

On Jan. 22, Priority One Credit Union and SmileHaus Orthodontics hosted a “Health & Wealth” community event in South Pasadena designed to empower residents with tools for “a healthier smile and stronger financial future.” Dr. Karla Thompson discussed how health

Conagra Brands Inc. is suing an insurance company for allegedly breaching a contract to pay for their share of the company's defense in a lawsuit in which a jury awarded $25 million to a man who said his lung disease was linked to the company's Pam butterflavored cooking spray.

The verdict was returned Feb. 4 in favor of plaintiff Roland Esparza in the courtroom of Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Kevin

Brazile. On Feb. 6, Conagra sued Travelers Property Casualty Co. of America and Westchester Fire Insurance Co. Pam is the number one cooking spray in the U.S. and the jury found that the company's alleged negligence was a significant factor in causing Esparza's condition. Esparza said he used Pam three times a day to cook his meals for nearly 30 years.

The Conagra lawsuit

impacts overall wellness, confidence and long-term quality of life. Priority One CEO Charles Wiggington taught those in attendance financial strategies to build wealth, plan for goals, and create financial stability.

By City News Service

against Travelers involves a dispute over whether Travelers should indemnify Conagra in connection with its defense of the Esparza suit, the costs of which had reached about $850,000 as of Feb. 4.

The Travelers and Westchester policies do not contain any exclusions that apply to preclude or limit indemnity coverage for Conagra in connection with the Esparza case, the Conagra suit states.

The insurers could not be immediately reached for comment.

Esparza originally sued the Vons Co. in September 2020 and later added Conagra as a defendant. Trial testimony showed that Pam contains diacetyl, a chemical that can cause severe respiratory issues under given circumstances.

Conagra maintained that Pam is safe and has been diacetyl-free for nearly two decades.

City Notices

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD ON FEBRUARY 24, 2026

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Rosemead City Council will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 7:00 PM, at Rosemead City Hall, located at 8838 East Valley Boulevard, Rosemead, California 91770. Comments may be submitted in person, virtually, or via email at publiccomment@rosemeadca.gov by 5:00 p.m. Interpreters will be available to assist members of the public that speak Chinese (Cantonese & Mandarin), Spanish, and Vietnamese. All comments are public record and will be recorded in the official record of the City. If you have a request for accommodation under the ADA, please contact Ericka Hernandez, City Clerk, at (626) 569-2100.

The Rosemead City Council is evaluating the potential of transitioning from a general law city to a charter law city. A general law city is bound by the state’s general law, regardless of whether the subject concerns a municipal affair. A charter city has supreme authority over “municipal affairs” and thus can govern on matters of the City. Under the proposed charter, the City would retain its council-manager form of government. Matters of municipal affairs that would be modified under the proposed charter include term limits, prosecuting authority, economic development matters, purchasing and contracts authority, and preference for Veterans in awarding contracts permitted by law.

Before submitting the proposed charter to the voters, the City Council must hold at least two public hearings on the charter as required by Government Code Section 34458. The first public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, February 24 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chamber.

For further details on this proposal, please contact Ericka Hernandez, City Clerk, at (626) 569-2100 or ehernandez@rosemeadca. gov. In addition, the City Council Agenda and Staff Report will be available on the City’s website under Agendas and Meeting at www. rosemeadca.gov at least 72 hours in advance of the public hearing. Any person interested in the above proceedings may appear at the time and place indicated above to testify in support of, or in opposition to, the item(s) indicated in this notice.

expect a challenge from Raman.

"Well first of all it was a surprise" Bass told reporters Saturday. "We have been great allies, especially on the issue of homelessness. And I will tell you that I will look forward to working with Nithya Raman in my second term."

Douglas Herman, a campaign advisor for Bass, criticized Raman's mayoral bid.

"The last thing Los Angeles needs is a politician who opposed cleaning up homeless encampments and efforts to make our city safer," he said. "Mayor Bass will continue changing LA by building on her track record delivering LA's first sustained decrease in street homelessness, a 60-year low in homicides, and the most aggressive agenda our city has ever seen to make our city more affordable."

Raman was elected in 2020 and re-elected in 2024 to represent the 4th Council District, representing communities in the southern portion of the San Fernando Valley and eastern Santa Monica Mountains such as Encino, Sherman Oaks, Studio City and Hollywood Hills, as well as Griffith Park, Los Feliz and Silver Lake.

Raman's first successful council bid was supported by the Democratic Socialists of America -- the same political organization that bolstered Zohran Mamdani, who won his election for mayor of New York City last year.

She chairs the council's Housing and Homelessness Committee and is part of the council's more left-leaning bloc alongside colleagues Eunisses Hernandez, Hugo

Soto-Martinez and Ysabel Jurado.

Her decision to pursue a mayoral run is the latest twist this week leading up to the filing deadline. Hours earlier, Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath ended weeks of speculation about a potential run, announcing Friday night that she would instead focus on her campaign for a second term on the Board of Supervisors.

Horvath was the third

Mayor's race

she would not pursue a mayoral run.

"It's clear you want a different kind of leadership, and you're ready to see change in your city. I am excited to work with you on that. It's why you elected me to be your Los Angeles County supervisor, and so I know that work is not yet finished," Horvath said in her video announcement.

"So, I am choosing not to run for mayor and instead focus on my reelection for

potential candidate in two days to say they wouldn't challenge Bass. On Thursday, former Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Austin Beutner and billionaire developer Rick Caruso both said they wouldn't be running.

Maryam Zar, who formed Palisades Recovery Coalition, told the Los Angeles Times that she was also weighing a mayoral bid, but would decide on the final day.

In a 1-minute-33 second video posted on social media, Horvath thanked her supporters for their faith, but affirmed

Los Angeles County supervisor, not because I'm stepping away from a challenge," Horvath added. "I'm stepping even more into the one we've already started."

If Horvath had become a candidate for mayor, she would have been forced to end her effort to be elected to a second term on the Board of Supervisors in the June primary under the state law prohibiting a person to run for more than one office in the same election. Raman faced no such dilemma, as she is not up for re-election to her council seat this year.

When the filing deadline officially passed at noon Saturday, 40 potential challengers had been issued papers to challenge Bass, according to the Office of the

Caruso, who lost the 2022 mayoral election to Bass, said Wednesday that he contemplated another run following the Times' story, but said on Thursday he would not run.

City Clerk. Each potential candidate must gather 500 voter signatures to get on the ballot, and file a nomination petition by March 4. The field of potential mayoral candidates is likely to become smaller by then.

Beutner, the best-known of the potential challengers before Raman's announcement, announced Thursday that he would not run because of the unexpected death of his 22-year-old daughter Emily last month.

The race also took an unexpected turn this week after a bombshell story published Wednesday by the Los Angeles Times saying Bass directed the wateringdown of an after-action report critical of the Los Angeles Fire Department's handling of the deadly January 2025 Palisades Fire. Bass vehemently denied the accusation.

P"Rick is incredibly moved by the outpouring of support but reached an earlier decision in a thoughtful process and it stands. He will not be a candidate for mayor," Mike Murphy, a political consultant for Caruso, told the Times on Thursday.

The Times, quoting "two sources with knowledge of Bass' office," reported that after receiving an early draft of the after-action report, the mayor told then-interim Fire Chief Ronnie Villanueva the report could result in legal liabilities for those failures.

The paper said Bass held onto the original draft until after changes were made. It was unclear whether Villanueva or other LAFD officials, or anyone in the mayor's office, made "line-by-line edits" at Bass' specific instructions or if they imposed changes after receiving a

general direction from the mayor.

Caruso said that any edits or efforts to water down the after-action report put residents at risk again and "violates the sacred duty that an elected official has to the residents."

However, Bass' office, in a statement Wednesday responding to the story, said neither the mayor nor her staff made changes to earlier report drafts — and that Bass reviewed an early draft and asked only that the LAFD make sure it was accurate on issues such as weather and budget.

Bass later spoke on KNX to again vehemently deny she directed edits to the afteraction report.

"Absolutely false, 100%," Bass said. "Just think about it for a minute. I'm the one who ordered the after-action report when the fire chief would not do it. I fired her. Why would I water down a report that essentially presented the information for why I fired her? That makes no sense."

Other challengers to Bass include Spencer Pratt, a reality television personality and Palisades Fire survivor; and Rae Huang, a community organizer.

Adam Miller, founder and former CEO of workforce education company Cornerstone OnDemand, announced his bid for mayor Thursday.

Of the 10 Los Angeles mayors to have sought a second term since the office's term became four years in 1925, only two have been denied second terms — John C. Porter in 1929 and James Hahn in 2005.

Chappel Roan departure adds to pressure on Casey Wasserman, agency

By City News Service

opular recording artist

Chappel Roan bolted from besieged Casey Wasserman's talent agency, which is leading to speculation Tuesday that other major artists on the company's roster may follow suit.

Roan, of "Pink Pony Club" and "Hot To Go" fame, announced Monday that she

was departing the agency, which is led by Hollywood legend Lew Wasserman's grandson, after his name surfaced in the so-called Epstein files related to late convicted sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. The departure of the Grammy nominee comes as calls are growing for Wasser-

man to resign his position as chairman and president of the LA28 Organizing Committee due to his connection to convicted Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and the revelation of his intimate conversations with her.

Casey Wasserman founded the Wasserman Agency in

1998 and grew the company through acquisitions.

The Wasserman Group's musical artist roster, which was recently removed from the company's website, include such notables as Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Ed Sheeran, Tyler the Creator and Phish, to name but a few.

Billie Eilish departed in 2024, but without the level of coverage following Roan's departure and pressure building for Wasserman to resign his LA28 position.

Los Angeles County supervisors Janice Hahn and Lyndsey Horvath are among those local figures who have called for him to step down.

The Wasserman Group also represents top actors and athletes.

The agency's fate is sure to be a topic of conversation when Pollstar Live, one of the most notable annual concert industry conferences, comes to Los Angeles' Loews Hollywood Hotel April 14-16.

Rose Bowl, Pasadena avoid arbitration in suit to keep UCLA football

By Staff

Ajury rather than an arbitrator will hear

a lawsuit filed by the Rose Bowl Operating Co. and the city of Pasadena alleging UCLA is wrongfully considering SoFi Stadium in Inglewood as the new venue for home football games, a judge ruled Thursday.

Attorneys for the UC Regents and SoFi Stadium asked Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joseph Lipner to compel arbitration.

Lipner, however, ruled the arbitration clause in the Rose Bowl lease agreement cited by UC Regents' lawyers is designed to address specific defects or deficiencies and not attempts to completely end the contractual relationship. The judge also denied motions by the defendants for a stay of the lawsuit pending the outcome of the arbitration.

UC Regents' lawyers on behalf of UCLA countered that the plaintiffs are bound by an arbitration agreement and that "no exceptions apply to RBOC's claims."

UC attorneys acknowledged UCLA's discussions with SoFi Stadium.

"After all, UCLA has a duty to constantly assess what is best for the university, its football team, its fans, its alumni and its students," according to a motion by UC attorneys. "Rather, as UCLA simply informed RBOC, the agreement does not prevent UCLA from having discussions with other venues."

The judge also denied a separate motion seeking arbitration filed by Kroenke

In their opposition to the UC arbitration motion, the Rose Bowl Operating Co. and the city argued the lease's arbitration clause is limited to quickly resolving routine disputes related to performance of contractual obligations, according to court filings by RBOC and city lawyers.

Sports & Entertainment LLC and Stadco LA LLC, ruling that the outcome of the request was dependent upon that of the UC Regents and that therefore the Kroenke motion also was denied. In addition, Kroenke and the plaintiffs did not have an arbitration agreement to begin with, according to Lipner.

Mary Osako, UCLA vice chancellor of strategic communications, said in a statement that university officials were "disappointed that the Court has ruled against arbitration, which is required by the lease agreement. This ruling significantly delays the resolution of the case. We remain committed to working in a constructive fashion to resolve this matter in a way that benefits all parties."

The lawsuit filed Oct. 29 seeks to enforce the terms of the lease agreement for UCLA home football games at the Rose Bowl through 2044.

The plaintiffs welcomed the chance to potentially proceed to trial in a statement following the judge's ruling.

"For more than forty years, UCLA has benefited from a unique partnership with the City of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl, a partnership that was memorialized in a carefully negotiated contract that extends through 2044," according to the plaintiffs' statement. "That agreement was the foundation

for hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer-backed investments made to modernize and preserve one of the most iconic sports venues in the world. In return, UCLA made a clear and binding commitment to play its home football games at the Rose Bowl through 2044 and expressly waived any right to terminate that commitment early, and we are confident that a court will agree."

According to the plain-

tiffs, UCLA has indicated intent "to abandon the Rose Bowl Stadium and relocate its home football games to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood." That claim "is not only a clear break of the contract that governs the parties' relationship, but it is also a profound betrayal of trust, of tradition, and of the very community that helped build UCLA football," the lawsuit states. A case management conference is scheduled for Feb. 27.

Notice of Public Hearing Planninf Commission

Notice of Public Hearing for Amendments to Title 17 (Zoning Code) of the Pasadena Municipal Code (PMC) related to Medical Uses, Fences and Walls and other Miscellaneous Updates and an Amendment to the South Fair Oaks Specific Plan

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The Planning and Community Development Department is bringing forward Amendments to Title 17 (the Zoning Code) of the Pasadena Municipal Code (PMC) and the City’s South Fair Oaks Specific Plan. This includes changes to the following:

1) Zoning Code Section 17.35.030 (South Fair Oaks Specific Plan - Allowable Land Uses), to update the land use table to allow medical offices in all zoning districts.

2) South Fair Oaks Specific Plans, to update the land use table to allow medical offices in all zoning districts.

3) Zoning Code Section 17.40.180 (Walls and Fences), to update standards related to fences for certain uses.

4) Miscellaneous Zoning Code Updates to Section 17.50.230 (Religious Facilities), to revise language related to parking and Section 17.80.020 (Definitions), to update definitions related to dwelling unit and habitable room/space.

PROJECT LOCATION: Citywide

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Planning Commission will consider whether adoption of the proposed Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), under the “Common Sense” exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed amendments do not increase development capacity on properties or add uses that will generate impacts on surrounding properties.

APPROVALS NEEDED: The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing and consider the proposed Zoning Code Amendments and environmental determination. The Planning Commission recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council, who will make a final decision at a separately noticed public hearing.

In a statement Monday to HeySoCal.com, she said, “As I was stepping down as Mayor of Arcadia, I witnessed the swearing-in of my successor. After the incoming mayor delivered her address, the room immediately rose in a standing ovation. What followed made me profoundly uncomfortable: three sitting councilmembers then delivered extremely glowing, almost celebratory speeches, reinforcing that ovation.

"I was not simply surprised — I was deeply unsettled. I sat there in shock, struggling to process what I was witnessing," Kwan said. "At that time, it was already publicly known that an individual publicly linked to the campaign was facing federal sentencing for acting as an unregistered agent of the People’s Republic of China. Knowing that, the tone of unquestioning praise and enthusiasm felt deeply inappropriate and alarming.

"When my turn came to speak, I felt intense pressure in the room — pressure not to appear disrespectful, pressure not to stand alone, and pressure to mirror sentiments that I did not feel," Kwan continued. "I said I

‘echoed’ the prior remarks, but I did so while internally questioning whether I was the only person disturbed by what was unfolding in front of us.

"I am not accusing any elected official of criminal conduct. But what I witnessed left me genuinely shaken. It raised a serious and unavoidable question: Why was there no hesitation, no acknowledgment of concern, no reassurance to the public at a moment when caution and transparency should have mattered most?

"If raising concerns about foreign influence makes someone feel isolated or silenced, that alone should concern every resident," Kwan observed. "This is not about race or politics. It is about judgment, accountability, and loyalty to democratic values. What I saw that night did not feel normal — and it should not be dismissed as such."

Wang and the other council members did not respond to requests for comment on Sun's sentencing.

Deputy City Manager Justine Bruno said "the city does not have a comment on this matter."

Assemblywoman

Jessica Caloza Friday called for a boycott of The Home Depot for evicting a long-operated day laborers center in Cypress Park, an allegation the home improvement retailer denied.

In a news conference Friday morning outside The Home Depot's Cypress Park location, Caloza, D-Eagle Rock, joined nearly 100 residents, day laborers, workers from the center, students, union representatives and faith leaders -- to criticize The Home Depot for actions they say are harming immigrants living in Los Angeles.

The Home Depot in Cypress Park has been the site of federal immigration enforcement actions, including a November raid where 50 people were detained,

China agent

mentioning the Sun case, Cheng cautioned against possible "fear, uncertainty and doubt" about Arcadia's government and noted the importance of being "kind" in political discourse.

"There are people that will feed into your fear, uncertainty and doubt of this great city of Arcadia," Cheng said after being sworn in as mayor

dance at community events and commitment to serving her constituents.

Cao said Wang is a "team leader" and "coalition builder."

Sun was accused of conspiring with John Chen, also known as Chen Jun, who was sentenced to federal prison in 2024 for acting as an illegal agent of China and

pro tem. "Those that feed the fear, uncertainty and doubt, what is their solution? Chaos — I've realized that being on council, that those that seek power do so through chaos, through anger, through fear, uncertainty and doubt. They tell you that the person that is next to you is evil, that those that are different than you are evil.

"But at the end of the day, we all seek the same things," Cheng said. "We want a safe community."

Fu praised Wang's "dedication" and "selflessness," noting her frequent atten-

plotting to target people in the United States affiliated with Falun Gong, a spiritual practice banned in China, according to federal prosecutors.

Sun acknowledged in his plea agreement that at the direction and control of Chinese government officials, he coordinated with individuals in the U.S. to advance the interests of the People's Republic of China by promoting pro-Beijing propaganda and working against "Chinese secessionist forces."

Federal prosecutors said that in February 2023, Sun

wrote a report for China officials to solicit additional money for his activities in Southern California.

The report summarized his personal experience, including past service in the People's Liberation Army.

In the report, according to Sun's plea agreement, he acknowledged working in the United States to lead "delegations of U.S. dignitaries and cultural workers to China" and, during the 2022 midterm elections, helped the candidate now identified as Wang get elected to represent Arcadia's 3rd Council District. In the report, Sun called the candidate a "new political star," according to prosecutors.

During the City Council campaign, Sun communicated with Chen about Wang's run for office. Chen discussed with Chinese government officials how he could "influence" municipallevel politicians in the U.S., particularly on the issue of Taiwan, according to court documents.

Shortly after Wang's election win in November 2022, Chen instructed Sun to write a report on the election that was sent to PRC officials, who responded positively and

Assemblywoman calls for boycott of The Home Depot

By City News Service

according to the Instituto de Educacion Popular del Sur de California, which operates the day laborers center.

"We aren't notified that immigration enforcement activities are going to happen, and we aren't involved in the operations. We aren't coordinating with ICE or Border Patrol. We cannot legally interfere with federal enforcement agencies, including preventing them from coming into our stores and parking lots," The Home Depot said in a statement.

The company also faced criticism for installing machines in the parking lot that emit a high-pitched tone. It has stated the machines were not intended to deter day laborers or assist in immigration enforcement,

but were placed to prevent illegal overnight parking.

Caloza said her office was notified Feb. 5 that The Home Depot allegedly filed an eviction notice to remove the day laborers center, which for many years has operated on the portion of the Cypress Park Home Depot location leased by Caltrans.

"The state has been attempting to work with Home Depot in good faith. This eviction is not a coincidence. The Trump administration has been terrorizing our state and is in our backyards thanks to Home Depot," Caloza said in a statement.

"The rights of immigrants and innocent American citizens are being stripped away before our very eyes.

George Lane, a spokesman for Home Depot, main-

tained the allegation the center was evicted was false, which Caloza called a lie.

"There are no plans or discussion about evicting IDEPSCA.," Lane said.

Caloza urged Los Angeles residents to boycott the company and support local small businesses, hardware shops and supply stores.

"Reach out to your elected officials, make your voices heard, and let's hold Home Depot accountable," Caloza added.

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez, who represents the First Council District, which includes Cypress Park, echoed Caloza's message.

"As immigrant families live under the constant threat of ICE terror, Home Depot has chosen to displace

were thankful, prosecutors reported.

Chen also sent a message to Wang stating that she was "doing a good job, I hope you can continue the good work, make Chinese people proud," court documents show.

About a month after the election, Chen arranged a lunch at a Rowland Heights restaurant with Sun and others, a gathering that Chen described to China officials as a "core member lunch," prosecutors reported. Chen later described the lunch as "successful," with attendees agreeing to establish a "U.S.China Friendship Promotional Association."

"This case highlights the breadth of the PRC's relentless intelligence and malign influence activities targeting the United States," according to a statement from Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles bureau, when charges were brought against Sun.

The maximum sentence Sun faced was 10 years, a three-year period of supervised release and a fine of at least $250,000.

The Feb. 3 council meeting is available on the city's website arcadiaca.gov.

a center that provides safety, resources and basic human dignity to day laborers," Hernandez said in a statement.

"Los Angeles will not stand by while billion-dollar corporations profit off our communities while discarding the very workers who make them rich."

IDEPSCA Executive Director Meagan Ortiz said the nonprofit community based-organization that describes its purpose as promoting self-determination in the Latino community in Southern California politically, culturally, and economically using popular education methodology, was deeply concerned about the health and safety of its members, who rely on the center every single day.

"This eviction notice strips away the basic human rights of our immigrant communities," Ortiz said.

Services Employees International Union President David Huerta urged for the end of corporate collaboration with anti-worker elected officials, and the immediate retraction of the alleged eviction by Home Depot.

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman noted the center has been there for 27 years.

"The timing of this eviction notice is not a coincidence, it is a choice, and a direct threat to our immigrant communities as ICE continues its targeted attacks," said Raman, who represents the Fourth Council District, encompassing many San Fernando Valley communities.
