Since 2017, at least 265 calls made to police through 911 and nonemergency lines have reported violence and abuse inside California’s four privately run federal detention centers overseen by ICE, a Times investigation found.

latimes.com/california/sto…
People in ICE detention are not serving time for crimes — they are being held while judges decide whether they should be deported.

Many are asylum seekers, and most have no criminal history. The federal government is responsible for their safety.

latimes.com/california/sto…
California’s ICE detention centers are supposed to comply with care and safety standards set by ICE. But the staff are not law enforcement officers and do not have the authority to conduct criminal investigations.

Any allegations of abuse must be reported to local authorities. Image

The coronavirus pandemic upended the economy — particularly the lives of immigrants, who might not be eligible for all of the assistance distributed to citizens.

@ldarmiento reports: latimes.com/business/story…
Not only have immigrants disproportionately contracted COVID-19, but industries that often rely on their labor have also been among the slowest to rebound from the virus shutdowns.

This could be contributing to a trend of reverse migration. latimes.com/business/story…
California’s immigrant population fell by 642,200, or 6.2%, during the first five months of the pandemic, according to an analysis of census data by UC Merced’s Community and Labor Center. latimes.com/business/story…

It was an otherwise quiet Saturday night at the Los Angeles International Airport control tower when an American Airlines pilot radioed in with an unbelievable report:

“We just passed a guy in a jet pack" latimes.com/california/sto…
Though jet packs make frequent appearances in movies and other popular culture, they are actually very rare.

There are only a handful of companies around the world that make them latimes.com/california/sto…
It’s possible that the recent sighting near LAX was indeed a person flying with a jet pack.
