LASD Gangs have run rampant for decades with zero accountability from the Sheriff’s Department or the DA.
Thank you @HollyJMitchell for starting a process that should have completed years ago. #GoogleLASDGangs
#BREAKING: LA Supervisor @HollyJMitchell has written a motion directing the LA County Sheriff's Dept to identify deputy gangs within its ranks.
If passed, the names of the gangs could be made public as soon as next year.

In 2024 @LACoSheriff announced a long awaited policy banning gangs within the Sheriff's Dept

Today would be a great day for Luna to ban deputies of the Industry Indians who beat up teens.
New from me: Deputies who are part of the Industry Indians deputy gang beat up Joseph Perez in 2020. Months later, as he sat in jail, those same deputies assaulted a group of teens at a bowling alley.
Joseph’s mother is asking Sheriff Luna to fire them.

Several @nytimes journalists were subpoenaed by the Trump administration on Friday.
– Reporters covering AF1 security concerns have been compelled to testify before a Manhattan grand jury next week
– Federal agents turned up at some reporters' homes
– NYT calls it a "brazen act"

USC has been fighting fiercely for years to prevent the roughly 2,750 non-tenure-track faculty members from organizing and collectively bargaining their future contracts. And this time, USC is relying on President Donald Trump’s administration for help. capitalandmain.com/usc-facul…

These are people that are directly connected to LA city hall yet pose as grassroots activists.
Ever since @CityAttorneyLA and the cops sued me, I’ve been saying LA deserves better. And by better I most definitely did not mean GGLA.
@cerisecastle.bsky.social retweeted
None of this disclosed in Knock LA’s voter guide. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, and arguably the lowest-level disclosure that GGLA/KLA should’ve made on its voter guide.
@cerisecastle.bsky.social retweeted
Their loudest critics have been effectively silenced during a high-stakes election season that GGLA itself is directly connected to. Their former Executive Director? @raeforla’s former campaign manager. Their current Executive Director? Former council aide to @nithyavraman.
@cerisecastle.bsky.social retweeted
Ever since the Knock LA split, which was initiated by an overwhelming majority of the former KLA newsroom seeking editorial independence, GGLA has used its retaliatory lawsuit against me and other former KLA journalists to silence us.

Santa Ana spent a bunch of taxpayer dollars to track every driver in the city at every moment and help train a private company’s AI system so that they can catch a driver doing donuts after Mexico wins a world cup match #2026
Another video. Another investigation. Another vehicle identified.
This driver was caught on social media doing donuts and vandalizing city property. Our Directed Patrol officers identified the vehicle, tracked it through ALPR hits across the city, and located it today. A seizure warrant was obtained, and the vehicle was impounded.
Tomorrow's Mexico match should be a time to celebrate with family and friends. NOT an excuse for reckless driving, street takeovers, or destroying our community.
If you're planning to come to Santa Ana and engage in criminal activity, know this: we're watching, we're investigating, and we will hold you accountable.
Celebrate responsibly… because your viral video could become our next case.

I am the sole author of the reporting linked below about @SantaAnaPD’s gang — but @GroundGameLA is arguing in federal court that they own my work despite me fully owning the copyright to my work.
I’ve had to defend my journalism against the LA City Attorney, LAPD, and GGLA now.
"Officers in an exclusive Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) unit who share gang-like skull tattoos have been the subject to complaints of alleged misconduct both off and on duty but faced no discipline, according to police records"

LAPD Chief O’Donnell just announced that they “don’t have any gangs within the department.”
Several in the crowd laughed.
(The department forwarded charges to the DA for several officers accusing them of conducting law enforcement gang activity)
Pretty big story here. First on it.
LAPD officers accused of discrimination and unlawful searches, according to internal disciplinary records that also identify them as participants in what California law defines as a law enforcement gang.

A May 2026 report by Million Dollar Hoods at UCLA found that the L.A. County sheriff’s and probation departments have cost the county more than $1 billion on litigation expenses, including settlements, judgments and legal fees, over a 12-year period. capitalandmain.com/sheriffs-…

Rae Huang's campaign sent out an email to supporters, on the eve of election day, asking for donations, saying this would help their campaign "have an outsized impact on our ability to finish strong and continue building this movement beyond Election Day."
What is going on with Rae Huang’s matching funds? thelareporter.la/p/what-is-g…
Lefty mayoral candidate celebrated 'unlocking' matching funds, but two months later, she hasn't qualified for them, prompting accusations of lying. Her campaign says it was "human error," life disruptions.
