The U.S. Department of Homeland Security posted on X today, So, if deporting a single child rapist doesn’t make the state better or safer, how about deporting a thousand rapists? 10,000?

OP-ED: "The City Council Punting on Expansion Absolutely STINKS"
This November, voters in Los Angeles will consider a number of changes to the Los Angeles City Charter. One proposed change that will NOT be up for consideration is an expansion of the City Council from 15 to 25 seats, this, after the Council itself shelved that proposal last week, calling for additional study of the long-debated issue. In his latest Westside Current column, Veteran Political Journalist Jon Regardie says "the city council punting on expansion absolutely stinks." Regardie joins Cher Calvin and Micah Ohlman with more on his column, the growing power of the councilmembers, the arguments for and against expansion, and the greater potential changes to the charter. He also discusses the controversial proposal that WILL be put to voters, whether noncitizen residents of the city can vote in local elections. June 23, 2026.
