The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors declared a local state of emergency Tuesday in response to ongoing federal immigrationenforcement raids, alleging the actions are preventing people from going to work and forcing some businesses to close.
SupervisorLindsey Horvath introduced the motion calling for the drafting of the emergency proclamation in response to a report presented to the board last week by county attorneys on options for possibly enacting an eviction moratorium or other protections for people impacted by the raids.
The Los Angeles Tenants Union advocacy group has been pushing the board for weeks to enact such a moratorium, saying the raids are creating enough fear to prevent people from going
to work, or prompting businesses to temporarily close, leaving their employees unable to work.
The county attorney's report noted that an eviction moratorium could be enacted during a declared local emergency, but it would have to be "temporary and narrowly tailored" to address impacts of the emergency, while also protecting landlords' due process rights and requiring tenants to ultimately repay back rent.
Attorneys said in the report that a local emergency can be declared if there are "conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of a county."
Supervisors voted 4-1 Tuesday to proclaim the emergency.
"We have to make sure
that we are living our values and putting them into action, and that's what this proclamation is about," Horvath said.
Supervisor Janice Hahn said the proclamation was needed in response to "the fear, the pain and the disorder these ICE raids are causing our community."
"We have entire families who are destitute because their fathers or mothers were taken from their workplaces," Hahn said, later adding, "I want our immigrant communities to know that we are in this emergency with them, we see them and we understand what they are going through."
Supervisor Holly Mitchell said she believes the aggressive actions of immigration agents "have emboldened
others" to carry out racebased violence and acts of hate in the community.
Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger was the lone no vote against the proclamation. She said she believed the action would lead to legal action by the federal government.
"Potential legal challenges will also put an additional fiscal burden on Los Angeles County's budget -- a budget that's already stretched thin," Barger said in a statement. "We need real solutions, not symbolic gestures. I'll continue to support targeted, community-centered programs like legal aid and rental assistance that provide meaningful help to vulnerable families while respecting legal limits, protecting County resources,

Thousandsofunion-
ized Kaiser Permanente registered nurses and other health professionals began a five-day strike Tuesday in California and Hawaii amid ongoing contract negotiations — but Kaiser officials said affected facilities remain open with some adjustments.
Workers represented by the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals began picketing at 7 a.m. at locations across the region.
Participating workers include registered nurses, pharmacists, nurse anesthetists, nurse practitioners, midwives, physician assistants, rehab therapists, speech language pathologists, dietitians and other specialty health care professionals, according to the union.
"We do not take the decision to strike lightly. A strike is always a last resort, reached only after every other option has been exhausted," the union said in a statement issued Sunday. "Over the past several months, our bargaining teams have met with Kaiser Permanente at both the local and national tables in good faith.
"When Kaiser requested mediation in recent weeks, we agreed in the hope of achieving a breakthrough. We've made ourselves available to meet anytime, anywhere throughout the 10-day notice period — and beyond."
"Despite these efforts, Kaiser has not agreed to a
contract that delivers on the core priorities of the frontline health care professionals who make Kaiser work every day. We're speaking up for better care."
Kaiser Permanente said it prepared contingency plans to ensure services during the strike.
The company said hospitals and medical offices will remain open during the strike, and will shift appointments to virtual care via phone, video and e-chat. In some cases, some health appointments, elective surgeries and procedures will be rescheduled.
Kaiser emphasized that facilities will be staffed by physicians,experienced managers and trained staff with added licensed contract professionals as needed. Additionally, the company said it will be onboarding up to 7,600 nurses, clinicians and other staff to work during the strike — individuals who have worked for them before.
More than 1,000 Kaiser employees have also volunteered to be reassigned to work in strike locations, the company said.
Members can find the updates on care impacts at kp.org. Kaiser expects normal operations to resume after 7 a.m. Sunday.
"We remain committed to bargaining in good faith for a fair agreement that balances fair pay with high-quality, affordable care," Kaiser said in a statement. "We will continue providing the care our members rely on while honoring employees and

After a fire last week that halted operations at one of California's largest oil refineries and prompted expectations of higher pump prices, higher fuel inventories have stabilized the the average cost of a gallon of gas.

The average price has dropped $1.772 since reaching a record $6.493 on Oct. 5, 2022.
The Orange County average price dropped a halfcent to $4.696. On Thursday, a five-day streak of increases totaling 1.7 cents ended with a drop of four-tenths of a cent. OC's average is eighttenths of a cent higher than a week ago, 4.6 cents more than one month ago and 18.3 cents more than one year ago.
The Orange County average price is $1.762 less than the record $6.458 set Oct. 5, 2022.
"According to Oil Price Information Service and the California Energy Commission, gasoline inventories are higher than they were at this time a year ago, and supply has not yet been impacted by the El Segundo refinery fire," Doug Shupe, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager, said in a statement.
"Also according to OPIS, Chevron filed a report with the state indicating the fire mainly damaged a unit that processes jet fuel. A Chevron spokesperson also stated they would be making

Concernsarebeing expressed Monday by women who say they were approached by a suspicious man in the Studio City area asking for help moving items in his car.
The LAPD's North Hollywood Division said it's aware of the reports, and has issued a warning about the middleaged man who asks women to help him move boxes from one part of his vehicle to another.
One woman who posted her concerns on Instagram said she had learned that 20 other women had similar encounters that made them uncomfortable.
The Instagram video clearly shows the license
plate on the man's vehicle.
"North Hollywood detectives are actively investigating the matter and have met with the individuals involved," according to an LAPD statement.
Detectives advised women to call 911 if they observe suspicious behavior..
"Trust your instincts and remove yourself from situations that feel uncomfortable," police advised.
"Stay cautious of unsolicited approaches; scammers and predators often appear friendly, helpful, or overly urgent."
People should never be coerced into making quick decisions and should always remain alert, according to the
LAPD.
"The department encourages everyone to prioritize their personal safety and exercise caution when approached by strangers," police said.
The detectives also urged anyone with information about the man, or who may have been approached by him, to call the North Hollywood Division at 818-7548300.
"Further, North Hollywood command staff will continue engaging with the community to discuss public safety and address any concerns related to suspicious activity, scams, or crimes impacting the area," police said.
and preserving public trust."
Theproclamation approved by the board states that the raids that began around June 6 "have caused residents to be fearful of leaving their homes, to go to work, take public transportation, access county services including medical services, access open public programs and resources and attend appointments with immigration lawyers and legal service providers."
The immigration actions "have created a climate of fear, leading to widespread disruption in daily life and adverse impacts to our regional economy due to decreased attendance at workplaces, the temporary or permanent closure of businesses and restaurants and increased strain on our
local institutions such as schools, hospitals and places of worship," according to the proclamation.
The document also cites a recent survey that found a 62% drop in average weekly earning for immigrants. The survey also found that 71% of immigrants have returned to work despite deportation fears, because they were facing possible eviction, and some contended their landlords threatened to report them to U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement if they did not pay rent, according to the proclamation.
"Based upon these conditions of extreme peril and the county's commitment to protect the health, safety and welfare of its residents and property, the county is likely to require resources
well beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of the county," the proclamation states. "The mobilization of local resources, and the ability to coordinate interagency response, accelerate procurement of vital supplies, and use of combined forces of other political subdivisions, will be critical to successfully respond to the ongoing conditions and adverse impacts."
According to Horvath's office, the proclamation will "empower the county to expedite contracting, procurement, and hiring; request additional financial assistance and mutual aid; and take all necessary emergency actions to support and stabilize impacted communities."

Former LAUSD SuperintendentAustin
Beutner announced his candidacy for mayor Monday with a four-minute video released on YouTube.
The 65-year-old investment banker and philanthropist, who ran the school district from 2018-21, will challenge Mayor Karen Bass in the June 2026 election.
'"I'll never accept the Trumpadministration's assault on our values and our neighbors. Targeting people solely based on the color of their skin is unacceptable and un-American," he says in the video.
But Beutner has questioned Bass' record on crime and development issues, and focused his most withering criticism on her response to January's devastating Palisades Fire, telling the Los Angeles Times that the city showed a "failure of leader-
ship" as historically strong winds spread flames through the expensive coastal enclave, gutting thousands of homes and businesses, and killing 12 people.
"Let's move past divisive attacks and talk about accomplishments. When Karen Bass ran for mayor, homelessness and public safety were the top concerns of Angelenos.
And she has delivered in a big way," Bass campaign spokesman Doug Herman said in a statement issued early Monday morning after reports emerged that Buetner would throw his hat into the ring Monday. "Today, homelessness has decreased two consecutive years for the first time in Los Angeles. Thousands of people have been moved off our streets and into housing. Violent crime is down across the city. Homicides have decreased to their lowest levels in 60 years.
"These achievements represent real progress for families in Los Angeles," Herman continued. "There's more work ahead, but this administration has proven it can deliver. Mayor Bass is committed to building on this historic momentum in her second term."
The Palisades Fire damaged Beutner's house,
than ever. At
and his mother-in-law's home was destroyed.
An after-action report issued by the Los Angeles Fire Department last week said the department experienced poor communication, inexperienced leadership, a lack of resources and an ineffective process for recalling firefighters back to work during the crisis.
In light of the report, Bass has promised to make changes.
"When you have broken hydrants, a reservoir that's broken and is out of action, broken [fire] trucks that you can't dispatch ahead of time, when you don't pre-deploy at the adequate level, when you don't choose to hold over the Monday firefighters to be there on Tuesday to help fight the fire — to me, it's a failure of leadership," Beutner said.
"At the end of the day, the buck stops with the mayor," he said.
Bass' office did not respond to an email sent Sunday from City News Service.
Beutner was publisher of The Times from 2014-15. He was also a deputy mayor of Los Angeles from 2010-13, during former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's second term.
Developer Rick Caruso,
who lost to Bass in 2022, is also a possible candidate in 2026. Caruso also owns property in Pacific Palisades and has also been a vocal critic of Bass' leadership during the fire crisis, writing on social media last week that "Her and the city's incompetence, mismanagement, and failure to plan, prepare, and predeploy directly led to people dying, thousands of lives being upended, and put on full display the consequences of ineffective and incapable leadership."
Bass fired back on Wednesday.
"Well, the way he characterized me sounded like Trump," she said. "But I just was saddened by it, honestly, because that response was beneath him. This is when the city needs to stand together. Why would you do that? So he's better than that and I was just disappointed and sad."

Continuing a downward trend,on-location production in the Los Angeles area declined by 13.2% from July through September compared to the same period last year, though officials expressed optimism that California's revamped $750 million tax-credit program will revitalize the entertainment industry, it was announced Tuesday.
The L.A. region had 4,380 shoot days in the third quarter of the year, or 668 fewer shoot days, compared to 5,048 shoot days in the summer of 2024, according to figures released by FilmLA -- the partner film office for Los Angeles County and city, and other local jurisdictions.
While data are not what they hoped for, officials with FilmLA emphasized there are early signs of improvement thanks to recent actions by Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislators.
In July, Newsom signed AB 1138, legislation that more than doubled California's Film and Television Tax Credit Program from $330 million to $750 million. It also expanded the program to prioritize workforce development, added funds for the
Career Pathways Training Program and launched what officials called the nation's first "Safety on Production Pilot Program."
Film and television workers, industry leaders and others have advocated for the program's expansion, citing a need to stop runaway productions, as well as to assist an industry that has faced challenges as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, dual writers and actors strike, and current federal immigration policies.
The program has been "oversubscribed year after year," according to the governor's office. Film and television projects were driven out-of-state, coaxed by investments elsewhere.
FilmLA noted the California Film Commission was processing applications days after the state budget was approved and AB 1138 was signed into law.
The first 22 projects to be approved for the expanded program included 18 television series planned for Los Angeles, and had 180 days to start production after they received their award. About 22% of L.A.-area feature
By City News Service
production and 9% of area television production in the third quarter came from incentive-linked projects, Film LA reported.
"We know that it will take a little while for new incentive-backed projects to get underway and be reflected in our data, so we were not surprised to see on-location production continue to slip this summer despite the state's increased investment," FilmLA Vice President Philip Sokoloski said in a statement.
"Fortunately, we've already begun to see early signs of these incentives having their desired effect; we're excited to be taking calls from productions looking to line up their locations and pull permits.
Feature production slightly bucked the overall summer trend with 522 shoot days, or 46 more shoot days, than 476 shoot days in 2024. Independent projects shot in the area during this time -- such as "Animals," "Misty Green," "The Musical," "The Seekers," and "You Can't be Happy" -contributed to the increase.
Meanwhile, television production had 1,441 shoot days, a decline of 376 shoot
days, compared to 1,817 shoot days in 2024.
According to FilmLA, the decrease in local television production is primarily due to a steep quarterly drop in TV reality production, which stood at 649 shoot days. "Dancing with the Stars," "The Price is Right," "The Valley" (Bravo!), "Dinner Time Live with David Chang" (Netflix), and "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," (Hulu), compose the reality TV and game show category.
TV dramas stood at 545 shoot days, a decline of 19%, compared to 673 shoot days in 2024. TV comedy stood at
79 shoot days, an increase of 41.1%, compared to 56 shoot days in 2024, and TV pilots were down 34.5% to 19 shoot days. Projects in these categories such as "9-1-1" S9 (Fox), "Criminal Minds" S19 (CBS), "High Potential" S2 (ABC), "Bel-Air" S4 (Peacock), "Golf" S1 (Netflix) and "Shrinking" S3 (Apple TV+) filmed in the L.A. area.
Commercial production declined by 17.9% to 668 shoot days. FilmLA noted that commercials receive no form of business incentive to create production jobs in California.
Still-photo shoots, student films, documentaries, short
films, online content, music and industrial videos -- which are the "other" category -declined by 9.9% to 1,749 shoot days in the third quarter.
"L.A.'s creative industry is too important to let go without a fight," Sokoloski said. ``As part of our ongoing focus on streamlining and enhancing the on-location filming process, we are convening industry listening sessions and using what we learn to improve our service delivery and recommend actionable process and policy improvements to our valued government partners.'
protecting patients."
According to Kaiser, the company has been working with the Alliance of Health Care Unions since May to reach new national and local agreements to support nearly 61,000 employees. The company said that the heart of the negotiation is a dispute about wages.
The company reported that Alliance-represented employees earn, on average, 16% more than peers elsewhere. Kaiser's latest offer would provide an additional 21.5% over the four-year contract, as well as improves medical and pension benefits, the company said.
The Alliance initially sought a 38% wage increase over four years, but now seeks 25%, which Kaiser Permanente described as a figure "out of step with today's economic realities and rising health care costs," according to the company.
Such a wage hike would increase the company's $6.3 billion annual payroll and may lead to higher rates for members and customers, with serious market implications, officials said.
"Our 21.5% offer will increase payroll for this group by nearly $2 billion in total by 2029," Kaiser said in a statement. "Anything beyond 21.5% will require us to
"We value every member of our team, and our history of collaboration with labor unions," Kaiser Permanente said.
further increase rates for our members and customers at a time when health care costs are increasingly unaffordable and many are having to make the difficult choice to go without coverage. We have a responsibility to the right thing for our employees and our members and customers."
Meanwhile, the union argued that Kaiser has the ability to pay — saying that, in 2021, the company's reserves stood at $44 billion.
In 2024, Kaiser reached $66 billion in reserves, an increase of $22 billion, the union said.
"This is not a money problem. It's a priority problem," according to a statement from the Alliance.
The union said its request for an increase of 25% was, in part, to address an 18.5% inflation increase.
"We're not asking for
special treatment — we're asking for equal treatment.
Our proposal of a 25% wage increase over four years is designed to restore what
was lost, keep pace with the cost of living and recognize the value of our members' labor," the Alliance said in a statement.

The Los Angeles City Council gave final approval Tuesday to a major increase in trash collection fees, the first rate adjustment in 17 years, with the hike expected to hit customers next month.
Tuesday's 11-2 vote finalized a months-long process to update fees for the city's trash collection service, known as the Solid Resources Program. City officials have said the rate change is necessary to cover organic waste disposal, staff salaries, maintaining vehicles and equipment, as well as inflation.
Council members Monica Rodriguez and Adrin Nazarian voted against the proposed ordinance while members Ysabel Jurado and Curren Price were absent during the vote.
The proposed ordinance now heads to Mayor Karen Bass for consideration. Once signed by the mayor, the ordinance will go into effect after 30 days.
Earlier this year, council members instructed the Bureau of Sanitation and
City Attorney's office to draft the ordinance to update trash collection fees.
Under the fee change, single-family homes and duplex buildings will increase 54% from $36.32 to $55.95, and apartments with three to four units will increase 130% from $24.33 to $55.95.
Customers' bi-monthly bill from the Department of Water and Power will jump to $111.90, for example, once the fees are in effect.
Low-income customers who qualify for the city's EZ-SAVE or Lifeline programs can receive lower rates.
The rate adjustment will add another 18% increase over the next four fiscal years, reaching $65.93 a month by the 2029-30 fiscal year for single- family homes, duplex buildings and small apartment buildings. Rate adjustments will affect approximately 743,000 households, and another 474,000 residencies that receive bulky item collection services. Currently, apartment buildings with five and more units pay full price.
The new rates will put the city in line with such neighboring cities as Burbank, Culver City, Long Beach and Santa Monica -- but will still be on the lower end.
It took the City Council about six months to finalize the ordinance as it had to comply with Proposition 218, a constitutional amendment limiting the methods by which local governments can levy taxes, fees and charges without taxpayer consent, which required public hearings and an opportunity for taxpayers to oppose the fee, an effort that failed to garner enough signatures.
Bass incorporated the rate increase in her budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year as one part of the many solutions to address a roughly $1 billion deficit. The program has received subsidies from the general fund in past years -- with a $200 million cost this fiscal year alone.
City officials said the rate increase will close this strain on the budget. However, the rate
increase was assumed to go into effect Oct. 1. The delay left the city on the hook for an extra $500,000 a day, the Los Angeles Times reported.
According to The Times, the delay is expected to cost the city at least $22 million that will need to be addressed in the future.
The fee increase was previously criticized by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
"The increase in trash fees for residents of Los Angeles and other cities in California is the direct result of a reckless law signed in 2016 by Gov. Jerry Brown, Senate Bill 1383. It mandated a 75% reduction in `organic waste' from the 2014 level starting in 2025, supposedly to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfills,"
according to a statement from the association.
"The date has arrived, and compliance with the law has significantly increased the cost of trash processing. It's very effectively reducing the disposable income of Californians. The state government should reconsider illadvised mandates that are raising costs for cities and their overtaxed residents."

Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena will lay off about 550 additional employees beginning Tuesday as it continues a restructuring of its workforce — adding to more than 800 jobs already slashed at the space lab last year.
"In order to best position JPL going forward, we are taking steps to restructure and establish an appropriate size to ensure future success," JPL Director Dave Gallagher said in a message to the staff on Monday.
"As part of this effort, JPL is undergoing a realignment of its workforce, including a reduction in staff."
Gallagher insisted the cuts are part of an ongoing reorganization effort, and not tied to the current federal government shutdown.
He said the cuts will involve workers in "technical, business and support areas," and that affected employees will be notified Tuesday.
"Over the past few months, we have communicated openly with employees about the challenges and hard choices ahead," Gallagher said. "This week's action, while not easy, is essential to securing JPL's future by creating a leaner infrastructure, focusing on our core technical capabilities, maintaining fiscal discipline, and positioning us to compete in the evolving space ecosystem — all while continuing to deliver on our vital work for NASA and the nation.
"We are grateful for the contributions of our departing colleagues, whose work has advanced exploration and innovation in ways that benefit us all."
JPL underwent two rounds of layoffs last year, slashing about 500 people in February 2024, then laying off another 325 later in the year.
Rep. Judy Chu, D-Pasadena, said Monday the 550 new layoffs represent about 11% of JPL's total staff. She said she was "disappointed and disheartened" by the news, particularly on the heels of the nearby Eaton Fire and last year's job cuts.
"This is not only a tragedy for our community, but also an immense loss for our nation," Chu said in a statement.
"JPL is a national asset that has helped the United States accomplish some of the greatest feats in space and science for decades.
Every layoff devastates the highly skilled and uniquely talented workforce that has made these accomplishments possible. Taken together with last year's layoffs, this will result in an untold loss of scientific knowledge and expertise that threatens the very future of American leadership in space exploration and scientific discovery."
