A U.S. District Court judge blocked California from forcing teachers to lie to parents about their children&#8217;s secret gender transitions in a major <a href="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/63d954d4e4ad424df7819d46/6949e11ea6bae817c8eaf637_Dkt%20%20307_MSJ%20Order.pdf">ruling</a> on Monday.
The case stemmed from a class-action lawsuit brought by two Christian teachers who pushed back against the law requiring them to hide students&#8217; gender transitions from parents and use students&#8217; preferred pronouns. Monday&#8217;s ruling from Judge Roger T. Benitez &#8220;permanently&#8221; ends &#8220;California&#8217;s dangerous and unconstitutional regime of gender secrecy policies in schools,&#8221; according to the Thomas More Society, which filed the lawsuit.
“In a landmark class-action ruling, Thomas More Society achieved a historic victory in Mirabelli, et al. v. Olson, et al., ending California’s gender secrecy policies and restoring transparency and parental involvement in public education,&#8221; the Thomas More Society <a href="http://t.co/cD3Ue3I02P">said</a>. &#8220;The decision and federal court order issuing a class-wide permanent injunction—issued by U.S. District Court Judge Roger T. Benitez just days before Christmas—secures justice not only for teachers Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori West who began the lawsuit, but for all parents and teachers harmed by these policies statewide.&#8221;
Benitez wrote that the case dealt with “four questions about a parent’s rights to information as against a public school’s policy of secrecy when it comes to a student’s gender identification.” Those questions were:
<ol>
<li>Do parents have a right to gender information based on the Fourteenth Amendment’s substantive due process clause?</li>
<li>Do parents have a right to gender information protected by the First Amendment’s free exercise of religion clause?</li>
<li>Do religious public school teachers have a right to provide gender information to parents based on the First Amendment’s free exercise clause?</li>
<li>Do public school teachers have a right to communicate accurate gender information to parents based on the First Amendment free speech clause?</li>
</ol>
“In each case, this Court concludes that, as a matter of law, the answer is ‘yes,” he wrote. “Parents have a right to receive gender information and teachers have a right to provide to parents accurate information about a child’s gender identity.”

“California’s public school system parental exclusion policies place a communication barrier between parents and teachers,” he opined. “Some parents who do not want such barriers may have the wherewithal to place their children in private schools or homeschool, or to move to a different public school district. Families in middle or lower socio-economic circumstances have no such options.  For these parents, the new policy appears to undermine their own constitutional rights while it conflicts with knowledgeable medical opinion.  The State Defendants are, in essence, asking this Court to limit, and restrict a common-sense and legally sound description by the United States Supreme Court of parental rights.  That, this Court will not do.”
“The parental exclusion policies create a trifecta of harm: they harm the child who needs parental guidance and possibly mental health intervention to determine if the incongruence is organic or whether it is the result of bullying, peer pressure, or a fleeting impulse. They harm the parents by depriving them of the long-recognized Fourteenth Amendment right to care, guide, and make health care decisions for their children, and by substantially burdening many parents’ First Amendment right to train their children in their sincerely held religious beliefs  And finally, they harm teachers who are compelled to violate the sincerely held beliefs and the parent’s rights by forcing them to conceal information they feel is critical for the welfare of their students,” he concluded.

Nick Reiner, the son of legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner, was <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2025/12/19/nick-reiner-diagnosed-with-schizophrenia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> diagnosed with schizophrenia just weeks before he allegedly killed his parents and had been placed on a new medication, which made him &#8220;erratic and dangerous.&#8221;
A long-time drug addict who was frequently in rehab, Nick Reiner, 32, had been seeing a psychiatrist when his behavior had grown &#8220;alarming&#8221; after his medication was changed three to four weeks before the couple was found with their throats slit in their Los Angeles home. According to a TMZ report, the new meds drove Reiner “out of his head.”
&#8220;Our sources say doctors were trying to adjust the medications so Nick stabilized, but it wasn&#8217;t working,&#8221; the outlet reported. &#8220;Our sources also say Nick&#8217;s substance abuse was worsening the schizophrenia.&#8221;
Reiner had been receiving costly care at a Los Angeles rehab facility, with a monthly charge of $70,000, the report said.
The additional information on Reiner&#8217;s mental state comes just days after he was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, with special circumstances attached since there were multiple murders and he allegedly attacked with a deadly weapon.

Nick Reiner&#8217;s two siblings — Romy, 28, and Jake, 34 — issued a statement after their brother&#8217;s first court appearance: “Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day. The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren’t just our parents; they were our best friends.”
Reiner, who was arrested hours after his parents’ bodies were discovered, did not enter a plea. After confirming that he understood he was waiving his right to a speedy arraignment, the judge granted a continuance, rescheduling the proceeding for Jan. 7, 2026.
He has retained <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nick-reiner-taps-heavyweight-defense-attorney-is-not-medically-cleared-for-court" target="_blank" rel="noopener">high-powered defense attorney</a> Alan Jackson, whose past clients include actor Kevin Spacey and disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

There have been several documented incidents involving self-driving cars in California going rogue lately. 
Earlier this month in San Francisco, two Waymo taxis collided. Then the situation became more complicated when a third Waymo autonomous vehicle arrived at the scene and stopped, resulting in a three-way “Waymo standoff” that became funny social media fodder. 
<iframe loading="lazy" title="3 Waymo cars in &#039;standoff&#039; cause traffic jam in San Francisco" width="422" height="750" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hcSvSZpRJaY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The drivers on the road that day were less amused as the street was blocked until Waymo reps arrived on scene to break up the mess. 
Days later, a San Francisco man recorded the frightening moment a Waymo self-driving vehicle he was riding in pulled out onto the road and into the path of another car, almost causing a collision.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
“I already almost got into a car accident. Oh my God. I am never doing this again,” Chris Rogers <a href="https://x.com/ABC7/status/1999328357918322805?s=20">said</a> in a video clip. 
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Terrifying moment Waymo nearly crashes into another car" width="422" height="750" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JBNddcPDv2Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
“The other car absolutely had the right of way, and there was no way for me to fix the situation. I would&#8217;ve been forced to endure a really bad car accident,” Rogers <a href="https://video.storyful.com/record/37519">told</a> Storyful, adding that it was his first – and probably last – experience with a self-driving car. “Thank God the other driver was a human being and managed to swerve at the last moment,” he added.
Also this month, a Waymo robotaxi went viral after it rolled straight through a police standoff in downtown Los Angeles. Bystander video shows the driverless car turning directly beside several police vehicles with their lights flashing, even as a suspect lay on the pavement.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Waymo robotaxi drives into active police scene" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p2XoMKwZE3o?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Near misses and crashes might not be as common in Waymos when compared to human drivers, but now there’s a new danger to contend with. Most recently, a Los Angeles woman checked the trunk of a self-driving taxi and discovered a man hiding inside, per <a href="https://www.motorbiscuit.com/california-woman-discovers-man-hiding-waymo-trunk-tiktok/">MotorBiscuit</a>.  
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Woman finds man hiding in trunk of self-driving Waymo in Los Angeles | FOX 11 LA" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qjptZjhmtIc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The incident occurred near MacArthur Park in the Westlake District of Los Angeles. The woman said she ordered the Waymo for her daughter. In a TikTok captioned “This was real life and not a skit,” she can be heard recounting what happened to authorities.
“Why the f*ck are you in the trunk?” the woman can be heard asking the man in a TikTok video. 
“I’m trying to figure this out. This sh*t won’t let me out,” he replied. “They just put me in it.”
“Who put you in it?” she asked. 
“The people,” he replied.
Police responded but did not arrest the man as he technically committed no crimes, FOX 11 News noted. 
A Waymo spokesperson made the following statement on the incident, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/man-in-waymo-trunk-westlake-district-investigation/">per</a> CBS LA News: “We’re committed to keeping our riders safe and earning the trust of the communities where we operate. This experience was unacceptable, and we are actively implementing changes to address this.” 
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company and a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., which offers on-demand transportation in select cities across the United States, including Austin, Phoenix, and Atlanta. Waymo <a href="https://abc7news.com/post/waymo-new-study-by-robotaxis-vs-human-drivers-are-driverless-cars-safe/14208333/">claims</a> its cars have 90% fewer accidents compared to human drivers.

Members of a pro-Palestinian radical leftist organization who allegedly planned to carry out a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leftist-pro-palestinian-groups-new-years-eve-bombing-plot-foiled-by-feds?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Leftist+Pro-Palestinian+Group%E2%80%99s+New+Year%E2%80%99s+Eve+Bombing+Plot+Foiled+By+Feds">series of bombings</a> in California beginning on New Year’s Eve also plotted to attack Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, according to an affidavit obtained by The Daily Wire.
Authorities arrested Audrey Illeene Carroll, Zachary Aaron Page, Dante Gaffield, and Tina Lai around December 12 in Lucerne Valley, California, where they were allegedly planning to test explosive devices in preparation for their future attacks. They now each face charges of conspiracy and possession of a destructive device.
Both Page and Carroll allegedly discussed plans to target ICE agents and their vehicles with pipe bombs starting in January or February, according to the affidavit. Their future attack plans “would take some of them [ICE agents] out and scare the rest of them,” Carroll said.
The four accused are alleged members of the “Turtle Island Liberation Front,” which officials describe as anti-government and anti-capitalist. They allegedly planned to simultaneously bomb five sites in Los Angeles and Orange County at midnight on New Year’s Eve.
The group arranged to place backpacks with improvised explosive devices (IEDs) inside them at the various locations, which included two American companies, according to the court documents.
“After an intense investigation, the Department of Justice, working with our @FBI, prevented what would have been a massive and horrific terror plot in the Central District of California (Orange County and Los Angeles),” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X Monday.

“This was an incredible effort by our U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the @FBI to ensure Americans can live in peace. We will continue to pursue these terror groups and bring them to justice,” she added.
Since the Trump administration commenced its mass deportation campaign, ICE has faced an 8,000% surge in death threats and a more than 1,100% jump in assaults, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
A shooter opened fire on a Texas ICE facility in September, killing two detainees and himself as he tried to target federal officers.
A group of alleged Antifa anarchists lured federal agents outside of a nearby facility on July 4 using fireworks before firing off bullets, resulting in one local officer being injured.

Director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in their home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles on Sunday, and police are investigating what they are now calling an &#8220;apparent homicide.&#8221;
Authorities were reportedly called to the home earlier in the afternoon, and at approximately 3:30 p.m. local time, the Los Angeles Fire Department discovered a deceased male and a deceased female. Their approximate ages matched those of Reiner, 78, and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, 68.
The LAPD issued a brief statement, revealing only that the case would be handled going forward by the Robbery Homicide Division (RHD): &#8220;At this time, no further details are available as this is an ongoing RHD investigation, into an apparent homicide.&#8221;
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale &#8211; Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
Later reports determined that the two deceased individuals were, in fact, Reiner and his wife.
Sources told <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2025/12/14/rob-reiner-wife-michele-found-dead-los-angeles-home/#continued">entertainment site TMZ</a> that both Reiner and his wife had lacerations that were consistent with stab wounds. The outlet later <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2025/12/15/rob-reiner-wife-michele-throats-slit-family-member-argument/?adid=braze-browser-notification">reported</a> that the couple &#8220;had their throats slit by a family member.&#8221;
People magazine <a href="https://people.com/rob-reiner-wife-michele-were-killed-by-son-sources-11868856">reported</a> on Sunday evening — citing multiple unnamed sources — that the couple had been killed by their 32-year-old son, Nick, who had struggled for years with addiction.
Reiner, the son of the late comedian Carl Reiner, forged his own career in comedy and in Hollywood. While he initially rose to fame as Archie Bunker&#8217;s son-in-law Mike Stivic — or Meathead – on the 1970s sitcom &#8220;All in the Family,&#8221; Reiner expanded his Hollywood legacy by directing a slew of iconic films.
Reiner&#8217;s film career spanned decades as he turned out cult classics like &#8220;This is Spinal Tap&#8221; and &#8220;The Princess Bride&#8221; in addition to blockbusters like &#8220;Stand By Me,&#8221; &#8220;A Few Good Men,&#8221; and &#8220;When Harry Met Sally.&#8221;
He was also a political activist, advocating for leftist causes.
Reiner and Michele Singer married in 1989 and were together for more than 35 years. The Oscar-nominated director was previously married to the late director Penny Marshall, who also starred in &#8220;Laverne &amp; Shirley.&#8221;

A federal judge in California ruled on Friday that Live Nation and its subsidiary Ticketmaster must face a class action on behalf of millions of Americans for allegedly overcharging them for events at major concert venues across the country.
U.S. District Judge George Wu in Los Angeles ruled that the plaintiffs met the criteria to expand their lawsuit into a class action seeking 15 years of alleged damages tied to the purchase of more than 400 million tickets.
Live Nation had urged Wu to deny certifying the lawsuit as a class action. The company and attorneys for the plaintiffs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The class covers consumers who bought tickets directly from Ticketmaster or a Live Nation affiliate for events at major venues since 2010.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
Beverly Hills, California-based Live Nation was accused in the 2022 lawsuit of monopolizing ticketing services, allowing the company to charge artificially high prices in violation of antitrust law.
Live Nation and Ticketmaster have denied any wrongdoing.
In their opposition to class certification, Live Nation and Ticketmaster told Wu that individualized issues involving tickets sold for 1,000 venues made it impossible to hold a single trial on the plaintiffs’ allegations.
Live Nation said the venues, not Ticketmaster, set fees paid by fans, often on a show-by-show basis.
The U.S. Supreme Court in October declined to hear a bid by Live Nation and Ticketmaster to move the lawsuit out of federal court and into private arbitration.
Live Nation faces other antitrust lawsuits over its ticketing practices, including an antitrust action filed in federal court in Manhattan by the U.S. Justice Department and a group of states. The company has denied any wrongdoing in that case.

Lawsuit

Democratic attorneys general in 19 states, led by California and Massachusetts, are suing the Trump administration over its $100,000 fee for H-1B visas.
The lawsuit announced on Friday argues that the fee imposed by the administration goes far beyond the actual cost for an H-1B application, and goes against the Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act.
“As the world’s fourth largest economy, California knows that when skilled talent from around the world joins our workforce, it drives our state forward. President Trump’s illegal $100,000 H-1B visa fee creates unnecessary — and illegal — financial burdens on California public employers and other providers of vital services, exacerbating labor shortages in key sectors,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement Friday.
“The Trump Administration thinks it can raise costs on a whim, but the law says otherwise,” Bonta continued.
The visa is meant for a limited number of jobs, and there are only 65,000 new ones doled out annually. However, 20,000 more H-1B visas are issued for those who have a “master’s degree or higher” from a college within the United States.
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, there have been “enough petitions” sent to the federal government for both caps for fiscal year 2026.
“President Trump promised to put American workers first, and his commonsense action on H-1B visas does just that by discouraging companies from spamming the system and driving down American wages, while providing certainty to employers who need to bring the best talent from overseas,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told The Daily Wire in a statement.
“The Administration’s actions are lawful and are a necessary, initial, incremental step towards necessary reforms to the H-1B program,” she continued.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
A September presidential proclamation stated that the program “has been deliberately exploited to replace, rather than supplement, American workers with lower-paid, lower-skilled labor” and it has veered off from its original intention.
The proclamation added that companies “have abused the H-1B statute and its regulations to artificially suppress wages, resulting in a disadvantageous labor market for American citizens, while at the same time making it more difficult to attract and retain the highest skilled subset of temporary workers, with the largest impact seen in critical science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.”
The lawsuit comes at a major tipping point for immigration nationwide, as the Trump administration recently stopped immigration processes for people from 19 &#8220;high-risk&#8221; countries following the shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., by an Afghan national who entered as part of a refugee program following the botched 2021 troop withdrawal from the Middle Eastern nation. In addition, deportation efforts are still underway as the Supreme Court will soon be tackling whether or not birthright citizenship is constitutional.

Rapper Nicki Minaj took a social media sledgehammer to Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) on Friday, mocking him and warning him against entering the 2028 presidential race.
Minaj, fresh off her United Nations <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nicki-minaj-drops-mic-on-nigerias-anti-christian-violence-at-un">testimony</a> calling for the defense of persecuted Christians, initially lashed out at Newsom over a recent interview in which he said, &#8220;I want to see trans kids.&#8221;
&#8220;Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids. Haha. Not even a trans ADULT would run on that,&#8221; Minaj posted early on Friday morning. &#8220;Normal adults wake up &amp; think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids.

Minaj did not stop there, pivoting to argue that Newsom had only gotten where he was because he fit the description of what a successful politician was supposed to look like.
&#8220;Gavin is the cute boy who got everything handed to him b/c of how cute &amp; sexy &amp; hot &amp; smoking he was. Oohhh look @‘m. Sitting there in that suit with the sneakers on,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He thinks he’s Tom Cruise only difference is, his next mission IS impossible. He should get another leading role.&#8221;

Minaj concluded with a few suggestions for Newsom, giving him a few options to fill the time that she said would certainly be wasted if he were to pursue a presidential run.
&#8220;Oh Gavvy pooh, it only gets worse from here for you, buddy. It’s the end of the road for you, my love. Get on the nearest jet ski &amp; let that beautiful hair blow in the wind. It will make you happier than this race that you will not win. Enjoy life. Peace,&#8221; she said.

How damaging could Minaj&#8217;s social media posts be for a governor looking to make the jump to the White House? Robby Starbuck argued that Minaj could certainly make a dent in Newsom&#8217;s vote count, especially if she kept at him on policies that are unpopular even among some Democrats.

In Southern California, local officials are now handing out air purifiers to residents choking on the stench of raw sewage — yes, including human waste — flowing across the border from Mexico.
Roughly 25 million gallons of untreated sewage from America’s southern neighbor reportedly spill into the Pacific Ocean each day, and in parts of San Diego County, the cross-border torrent has turned what should be crisp seaside air into the unmistakable funk of a porta-potty.
By Wednesday morning, the mess had grown loud enough to reach the White House, as President Donald Trump weighed in on Truth Social.
“Mexico must take care of its water and sewage problem, IMMEDIATELY. It is a true Threat to the People of Texas, California, and the United States of America!” Trump warned, attaching a local news segment as evidence of the unfolding mess.
In California, the mouth of the Tijuana River, which flows through Mexico, empties into the Pacific just north of the border near Imperial Beach.

The San Diego County Air Pollution Control District spent the week handing out hundreds of air purifiers and replacement filters to residents in the South Bay, a cluster of communities pressed against the Mexico border. <a href="https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/cross-border-contamination/san-diego-county-distributes-air-purifiers-to-south-bay-residents-impacted-by-cross-border-sewage-pollution/509-b9ac548e-a218-45d7-817f-4b2d81eb57e8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CBS 8 News</a> reported that people living there &#8220;continue to grapple with foul odors and polluted air stemming from cross-border sewage flow.&#8221;
Last week, the situation worsened after a break in a Mexican sewer line <a href="https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/new-sewage-line-break-sends-120-000-gallons-of-raw-waste-to-south-bay-communities">reportedly</a> sent 120,000 gallons of sewage into the South Bay. The ongoing pollution has already dragged down home values, closed some beaches, and affected Navy SEAL training.
Leon Benham, who has lived in the area for more than 60 years, <a href="https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/new-sewage-line-break-sends-120-000-gallons-of-raw-waste-to-south-bay-communities">told</a> KGTV that raw sewage has contaminated his backyard. He is the founder of Citizens for Coast Conservancy, which has reportedly spent years advocating for solutions.
&#8220;When the offshore flow comes in, we can smell the stink, you know, we can smell it,&#8221; he said.
Residents largely viewed the air purifiers as a temporary band-aid, not a fix. Baron Parlow, the founder of Stop the Poop, told CBS 8 that local officials simply handing out filters wasn’t anywhere close to enough.
&#8220;Where [are] all the tough sanctions on the source Mexico?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;Where&#8217;s all the pressure to get Mexico to stop the poo?&#8221;
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin reacted to President Trump&#8217;s demand on social media.
&#8220;The Trump Admin has been taking important action to PERMANENTLY END the flow of disgusting raw sewage from Mexico into the United States,&#8221; he posted on X on Wednesday. &#8220;We are working very closely with our Mexican counterparts to ensure San Diego area beaches can reopen, foul odors cease, and the Tijuana River Valley gets cleaned up as quickly as humanly possible. This will also be great for our Navy SEALs who train in the area.&#8221;

California has opened its tip line to report federal officers, as Democratic leaders in the state attempt to push back on immigration enforcement measures by the Trump administration.
“My office created a portal that will allow Californians to report misconduct by federal agents,” Attorney General Rob Bonta posted to X on Wednesday, asking people to send in a tip if they “believe a federal agent is abusing their power or acting unlawfully.”
“Federal agents have broad authority to enforce federal laws, but they must do so lawfully,” he added.
The webpage specifically names Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the National Guard as examples of entities that could be reported to the state. However, it disclaims that it cannot guarantee it will “take any action” on a report.
The move was quickly blasted by Republicans, as there is a limited scope of what a state government can do regarding federal authorities.
“How about if you think state agents or officials have abused their power or committed unlawful acts?” Assemblyman James Gallagher said. “Asking for a friend.” Bonta is facing scrutiny for using roughly $500,000 in campaign dollars for legal assistance as part of a federal bribery case probe, <a href="https://www.kcra.com/article/attorney-general-rob-bonta-campaign-funds-legal-help/69477723" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KCRA</a> reported.
“We have a portal too. People can report California state officials engaged in illegal activity at the following link,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli posted with a link to the FBI’s tip line.

The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-sues-to-block-california-laws-that-recklessly-endanger-lives-of-federal-agents">reported</a> last month that the Trump administration was suing the state over new laws seeking to stop federal agents from wearing masks and other measures that the administration says are meant to protect the safety and identity of agents who may be targeted while off the job.
“The No Secret Police Act and No Vigilantes Act directly regulate the Federal Government by dictating permissible uniforms for federal agents and forcing federal agencies to adopt specified policies,” the lawsuit stated. “But the Federal Government, not California, has authority to control its own agents and activities.”
At the time, Bonta raised concerns about Trump’s approach to immigration. The Golden State has been at the center of attention for the administration’s efforts, especially after anti-ICE riots broke out in Los Angeles earlier this summer, along with a tense raid at a pot farm leading to hundreds of arrests.
“It’s problematic when Californians can’t tell the difference between a law enforcement officer who is charged with protecting them and a criminal who is attempting to cause them harm,” Bonta’s office stated. “The FBI itself has warned that the practice of ICE agents obscuring their identity has led to a rise in copycats committing crimes, threatening public safety and eroding trust in law enforcement.”

A leftist federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama issued an order on Tuesday blocking the Trump administration from cutting funding going toward organizations like Planned Parenthood that end the lives of unborn children. 
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/26327752-talwanipppi120225/">ruled</a> that the Department of Health and Human Services cannot cut off Medicaid funding going toward Planned Parenthood. Talwani sided with California and other Democrat-led states that sued to keep Medicaid funding flowing to Planned Parenthood affiliates.
Talwani wrote that HHS failed “to provide clear notice as required by the Spending Clause of the United States Constitution” to the Democrat-led states. Medicaid funding for abortion-promoting entities was cut off for one year by a provision of the GOP-backed “Big, Beautiful Bill.” 
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit previously overturned another <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/26089904-ppfavkennedyca1091125/">decision</a> from Talwani that sided with Planned Parenthood in a suit over the provision. 
Talwani’s decision was met with criticism from pro-life advocates. 
“The Democrats and their radical activist judges are desperately seeking to thwart the will of the people and bail out the Big Abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is federal law passed by Congress and signed by the president,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser.
“This fight is not over. The pro-life movement will work tirelessly to ensure the Democrats do not prevail and taxpayers are never forced to pay a dime to prop up Big Abortion businesses,” Dannenfelser added. 
Talwani has a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-who-prevented-trumps-deportation-of-500k-migrants-volunteered-for-obama-elizabeth-warren">history of leftist activism</a> and has volunteered for and donated to prominent Democrat politicians, including Obama and Senator Elizabeth Warren.

The federal judge <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?contributor_name=Indira+Talwani">donated</a> a total of $1,725 to Democrat politicians and the Democratic Party, including $1,000 to former Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), $350 to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and $100 to Obama. Talwani also gave another $275 to the Democratic National Committee.
Talwani explained on her Senate questionnaire that she also volunteered to knock on doors for Obama in 2008 and volunteered to canvass on behalf of Elizabeth Warren in 2012. 
She has sided against the Trump administration in other rulings, including decisions to revoke Temporary Protected Status for half a million migrants, and a 2019 ruling said Immigration and Customs Enforcement was allowed to arrest illegal aliens on courthouse grounds in the state of Massachusetts.

A 54-year-old man has been arrested after carrying out a self-described “terrorist attack” by throwing Molotov cocktails at security officers outside of a federal building in California that houses Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices, the Justice Department said Tuesday. 
Jose Francisco Jovel was accused by federal investigators of carrying out the attack on Monday at a building in Los Angeles that houses Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices. Investigators say that the attack was motivated by opposition to the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration. 
“This case exemplifies how misleading and hateful rhetoric against federal law enforcement can and does result in violence,” said First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli. “Irresponsible rhetoric by politicians and activists have real-world consequences. It must stop.”
Jovel, who lives in Koreatown, has been charged with attempted malicious damage of federal property and is expected to appear in federal court on Wednesday.  Essayli said that additional charges may be added. 
On Monday, Jovel rode his bike to the Federal Building located in the Civic Center of downtown Los Angeles hours after lighting his own apartment on fire after being evicted, prosecutors said. He then allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail through a sliding door of an employee entrance to the building before throwing another one into the public door. While the bottles did not catch on fire, investigators say that surveillance footage shows Jovel trying to light one of the devices on fire. 
Jovel was then arrested by federal officers who found five more Molotov cocktails and a lighter in his possession, investigators say. He was also found with knives and was making anti-ICE comments, according to federal law enforcement sources. 
Officers reported hearing Jovel say he was motivated by his anger at the Trump administration’s immigration policies. He allegedly referred to his actions as “a terrorist attack” and told officers, “you’re separating families,” before urging nearby people to “start shooting these” officers. The attack prompted the building&#8217;s lobby to be shut down for the investigation.

If convicted, Jovel will face a minimum of five years in prison and a maximum of 20 years. 
“There can be zero tolerance for any targeting of law enforcement officials – let alone violent acts – and we’re lucky that the devices allegedly thrown by the subject did not physically injure anyone,” said Akil Davis, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. “The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is dedicated to investigating and holding accountable anyone who conducts targeted attacks against government employees.”
The Department of Homeland Security said that Jovel has a criminal history that includes arrests for attempted murder in 1987, robbery with a firearm in 1991, and molesting a victim under the age of 18 in 2007, Fox 11 <a href="https://www.foxla.com/news/man-arrested-throwing-molotov-cocktails-downtown-la-federal-building?taid=692f616f5c98af00010fe8c3&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=trueanthem&amp;utm_source=twitter">reported</a>.
In recent months, ICE agents have faced a surge in violent attacks and threats as they carry out the Trump administration&#8217;s immigration agenda.
