NEW: LASD releases first video showing #AndresGuardado standing in front of Gardena body shop before deputy shooting. Also released first image of the gun he allegedly had w/ illegal extended mag. No cameras caught shooting. LASD says the body shop was selling nitrous/noz. @FOXLA ImageImageImage
LASD says there have been 23 calls for service to this body shop, including a gang related murder in 2018. LASD says #AndresGuarado was not a security guard, wasn't licensed, no uniform, no gun belt, and being 18 was not legally allowed to own a pistol. Investigation continues.
LASD did not release any new information as to why #AndresGuardado was shot in the back 5 times, or what deputies said during their interviews. They say the investigation continues and they're not waiting on search warrants to come back from social media companies.
*NOW* waiting on search warrants **

Yikes. It always comes out, folks.
Aurora city councilwoman below has been posting internal city emails showing Tren de Aragua concerns were known long before they were in the headlines - as some politicians have denied the problem exists.
Another email from June:

And another…

NEW: Newport Beach PD identifies the three suspects arrested for the attempted robbery & broad daylight killing of a 68-year-old woman at Fashion Island who was visiting from New Zealand.
26 y/o Leroyernest McCrary of Compton.
18 y/o Malachi Darnell of Los Angeles.
18 y/o Jaden Cunningham of Lancaster.

They've been booked for homicide, robbery with a firearm, and conspiracy - after leading police on a pursuit into LA.

Unlike LA, OC doesn't treat criminals with bubble wrap. Expect DA Todd Spitzer to come down hard on them.
NEW: The LA Times reports one of the suspects has a lengthy criminal history in LA County. He should have been locked up for prior felonies, but he did no prison time in yet another soft on crime prosecution under LA DA George Gascon.

“[McCrary] was arrested and charged in October 2022 with being a narcotics addict in possession of a firearm, a felony. He pleaded no contest to that felony charge the October of the following year.
McCrary also was charged in a robbery case in September 2023 and pleaded no contest. He received a concurrent sentence for both convictions and got two years of probation and three years in state prison, with the sentence suspended.
McCrary also was arrested on suspicion of driving with a suspended license in both 2018 and 2021.”
latimes.com/california/sto…
Article on his previous arrest in Santa Monica, where, despite having a previous arrest for addict in possession of a firearm, a felony, he pointed a gun at a man, robbed him of his Rolex, and still did no prison time.
Now, an innocent woman is dead.

BREAKING: Another Border Patrol bus full of illegal immigrants, this one all adult men, just pulled up and mass released them onto San Diego streets. Again, men from all over the world going to blue cities. One man from Mauritania told me he is gay and is here to request asylum.
And ANOTHER bus - this one mostly women - just pulled up and mass released more. We’ve now seen several hundred illegal immigrants released to the street here in the last hour and a half.
Some jumping into cabs and off they go!

BREAKING: Just witnessed a large mass street release of illegal immigrants released from Border Patrol custody at a trolley station in San Diego (San Ysidro).
I talked to some of them, from Peru, Colombia, & India. Some going to Atlanta & Minneapolis wanting to work.
BREAKING: Another bus just pulled up and Border Patrol just mass released more illegal immigrants at the trolley station. Talked to more of them - from Senegal, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, one here from China. Heading to New York, New Jersey, Chicago, etc. All blue cities.
They are now receiving help from what appears to be a NGO/volunteer group and are boarding a new bus - unknown destination.

NEW: My initial highlights from the border deal.

- No amnesty/legalization of anyone already in the U.S. illegally.

- Funds an increase in ICE detention capacity to approx. 50,000 from the current 34,000.

- At 7 day rolling average of 5,000 encounters per day, or 8,500 encounters in a single day, DHS is *required* to shut the border down, and turn away anyone who crosses. No new asylum claims will be allowed and anybody crossing will be removed. Would end the whole idea of "I made it to U.S. soil, you have to process me." That would be over, Border Patrol would not process the illegal crosser and they would be removed - no asylum claim permitted, unless its made at a port of entry.

- This does not mean 5,000 are "allowed in" before this authority kicks in. Single adults would be detained, families would be released via ATD (alternatives to detention), and asylum cases would be fast tracked to months rather than years under a new rapid/expedited expulsion system. Those who fail would be quickly removed from the US. Those who initially pass would be released with work authorization and 90 day supervision until final asylum claim is determined.

- The shut down authority doesn't drop until crossings decrease significantly in the days following the shut down.

- Significantly tougher asylum requirements, and a higher credible fear standard, including three bars to eligibility. 1) Criminal history, 2) Could they have resettled in another country on the way to the US? 3) Could they have resettled somewhere else in their own country? Just saying you're scared to return home will no longer be enough in initial interview.

- It *appears* that the legislation would move asylum claim decisions away from immigration judges, and instead have them be handled by USCIS.

- $1.4 billion in FEMA funding available for disbursement to NGOs/municipalities, but some of that money doesn't unlock until key border security metrics are hit with ICE detention beds, ICE & Border Patrol new hires, and at least 1,500 deportation flights.

- Ends use of parole releases via CBP One app, and ends parole for illegal crossers between ports of entry.

- Keeps humanitarian parole as it was originally intended (medical procedures, court cases, etc), and keeps the current Biden admin parole program in place for Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and Nicaraguans.

- 50,000 new visas over 5 years.

- Fuding to hire hundreds more ICE deportation officers, Border Patrol agents, and USCIS asylum officers, and greatly increases number of deportation flights.

- No unaccompanied minors can be removed, and some of these minors will receive attorneys, either pro bono or taxpayer funded.

- Ends some catch and release, but not all (families and unaccompanied minors not detained).

- DHS will have 90 days to set this new system up before it takes effect.

- There is a provision in the bill that would allow the President to suspend the "shut down" authority.
It says: "Authorizes the President to suspend the border emergency on an emergency basis for up to 45 days if it is in the national interest."

Context: The border has seen at least 5,000 encounters almost every single day the last couple years under Biden. If this bill were signed into law, the border would likely be shut down on the first day it takes effect.

FOX is told by the architects of this legislation the status quo right now is when the border is overwhelmed, "release everyone". They say this bill switches that to, when the border is overwhelmed "remove everyone."

This legislation has provisions in it that will upset border hawks and immigration activists at the same time.

Now we wait to see how both Democrats & Republicans respond. So far, many House GOP members have expressed displeasure, and at least one Democrat Senator (Padilla) has as well.
More details on the FEMA funding for NGOs/municpalities.

More: Unaccompanied minors will not be released into the interior, they'll be transferred to Office of Refugee Resettlement.
Families released w/ ATD will be under supervision and immediately removed if they don't qualify for asylum.
State Department will be required to report recalcitrant countries (countries who don't accept their citizens back for deportation).
