A fast-moving wildfire was spreading rapidly early Tuesday in Malibu, spurring nearby Pepperdine University to issue a campus-wide shelter-in-place order as firefighters struggled to battle the blaze. Dubbed the Franklin fire, the fire was reported just before 11 p.m. along Malibu Canyon Road and north of Francisco Ranch Road in the hills north of Pepperdine. The fire, which was fanned by strong Santa Ana winds, had scorched about 100 acres shortly before midnight but was moving at a ferocious pace, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Aerial footage from local news stations in the early hours of Tuesday morning showed flames devouring the hills as palm trees were tossed by strong winds. The National Weather Service reported sustained winds of up to 45 mph and gusts of up to 65 mph. The cause of the fire was unclear. “All community members on the Malibu campus are directed to shelter in place in the Tyler Campus Center or Payson Library,” Pepperdine shared on X at 1:09 p.m. Tuesday.

El virtual presidente electo Donald Trump ha prometido eliminar a la ciudadanía por derecho de nacimiento tan pronto como asuma el cargo y así cumplir sus promesas de campaña con el objetivo de restringir la inmigración y redefinir lo que significa ser estadounidense. Pero cualquier intento por ponerle fin a esta medida enfrentaría una gran cantidad de obstáculos legales. La ciudadanía por derecho de nacimiento significa que cualquier persona nacida en Estados Unidos se convierte automáticamente en ciudadano estadounidense. Esta práctica ha estado vigente durante décadas y se aplica a los hijos nacidos en el país de padres que están sin autorización en Estados Unidos o que cuentan con visa de turista o de estudiante y planean regresar a su país de origen. 1/6 Un migrante venezolano toma una fotografía en una balsa de madera y neumáticos mientras cruzan el río Suchiate desde Tecún Umán, en Guatemala, hacia México, el martes 29 de octubre de 2024.   (Matias Delacroix/AP) 2/6 Eyla Fonseca, migrante desde Venezuela, da el desayuno a su hijo Keilerth Veloz en el albergue Casa del Migrante en Tecún Umán, Guatemala, el domingo

TORONTO. — El primer ministro canadiense, Justin Trudeau, dijo el lunes que los estadounidenses “están comenzando a darse cuenta de que los aranceles sobre los productos canadienses harían la vida mucho más cara”, y aseguró que responderá en caso de que Donald Trump decide seguir adelante con la medida. En un evento organizado por la Cámara de Comercio de Halifax, Trudeau también dijo que tratar con Donald Trump en temas comerciales será “un poco más desafiante” que la última vez, debido a que el equipo del republicano ha presentado ideas mucho más claras sobre lo que quieren implementar de inmediato que después de su primera elección en 2016. El presidente electo estadounidense ha amenazado con imponer un arancel del 25% sobre todos los productos que ingresen a Estados Unidos desde Canadá y México, a menos que detengan el flujo de migrantes y drogas. “Trump fue elegido con el compromiso de hacer la vida mejor y más asequible para los estadounidenses, y creo que la gente al sur de la frontera está comenzando a darse cuenta de la realidad de que los aranceles sobre todo lo

Moye’s family roots and dedication to the city inspired the building of an arch named after her on the east end of the alley behind 12th Street. It was done by local artist, Dale Evers, two years

Two students were stabbed on campus Monday at Verdugo Hills High School in Tujunga. Both students were hospitalized with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening, and a suspect was detained by police, according to a school district update. The stabbings took place at about 1:45 p.m., said Los Angeles Police Department Public Information Officer Tony Im.

Across the Ventura County coast communities and the Santa Clarita and San Gabriel valleys Monday night, fire crews moved their engines outside and into position-ready for high winds and extreme fire danger. The National Weather Service put out an unusual warning on Sunday, calling this a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS). According to NWS, the PDS Red Flag Warning is issued for Monday night through Wednesday as “a strong, widespread, and long duration Santa Ana event will bring widespread critical to extremely critical fire weather conditions to many areas of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.” (National Weather Service) NWS is predicting the most dangerous conditions to occur between 10 p.m. Monday and 2 p.m. Tuesday with wind gusts up to 50-80 mph, and humidities will drop to between 5 and 15%, increasing the chance for rapid fire growth. “Conditions are now so dangerous,” warns Andrew Rorke, a senior forecaster for NWS.  Rorke told KTLA’s Sandra Mitchell that this weather event brings a “heightened sense of danger,” warning residents to prepare. Just last month, under similar conditions, the Mountain Fire exploded in Ventura County, destroying almost 250

En el mismo lugar en el que los aficionados del LA Galaxy le habían dado la espalda a su equipo en marzo de 2023, sirvió para la celebración del sexto título de la franquicia angelina en la MLS. Cientos de hinchas se habían congregado reclamando un cambio del rumbo de la escuadra galáctica y 21 meses después, el Legends Plaza se vistió de fiesta para que el equipo más condecorado de la liga estadounidense volviera a reclamar su trono tras 10 años de espera. El onceno angelino derrotó a los Red Bulls de Nueva York el sábado en el Dignity Health Sports Park y prendió la fiesta en Los Ángeles que se llevó desde la cancha a los vestidores y el domingo a la plaza que una vez pidió la cabeza de Chris Klein, el gerente general en ese entonces. Riquie Puig, la estrella del LA Galaxy, fue el gran ausente de la final ante el Red Bulls debido a una lesión, pero dejó en claro a los aficionados presentes que este triunfo no fue un accidente. “Tengo que decir a los aficionados que nos

Two disgraced former city officials in Baldwin Park and Commerce pleaded guilty to participation in a scheme involving bribes in exchange for votes and influence in Baldwin Park’s cannabis permitting process, the U.S. Department of Justice announced late last week.   The charges against Edgar Cisneros, 42, a resident of Montebello who served as Commerce’s city manager from Nov. 2017 to Dec. 2023, and Robert Tafoya, 62, a Redondo Beach resident who served as Baldwin Park’s city attorney from Dec. 2013 to Oct. 2022 were unsealed on Dec. 6, according to a DOJ news release.   Federal prosecutors said that shortly after Baldwin Park began issuing cannabis permits in June 2017, then-Baldwin Park City Councilman Richard Pacheco began soliciting bribes from companies seeking those permits.   In an agreement where Cisneros would receive some $235,000, the former Commerce city manager helped a company obtain a Baldwin Park cannabis permit through an estimated $45,000 in bribes.   A budtender (right) shows cannabis buds to a customer at the Green Pearl Organics dispensary on the first day of legal recreational marijuana sales in California.

A 44-year-old woman pleaded guilty Monday and was immediately sentenced to 200 hours of community service for helping her friend get away from the scene of a fatal stabbing in a Laguna Niguel bar. Elizabeth Anne Thornburg pleaded guilty to a felony count of being an accessory after the fact. She accepted a plea deal from Orange County Superior Court Judge Andre Manssourian, according to court records. Thornburg was placed on two years of formal probation and ordered to perform the community service at a location “focused on racial sensitivity,” according to court records. Co-defendant Craig Matthew Tanber was sentenced in February 2020 to 56 years to life in prison for killing 22-year-old Shayan Mazroei at Patsy’s Irish Pub Sept. 6, 2015. The deadly conflict with Mazroei started when Thornburg got into a dispute with the victim. Mazroei had been playing billiards with friends when he stepped outside to smoke a cigarette and got into an argument with her, Senior Deputy District Attorney Mark Birney said in Tanber’s trial. Thornburg shared “her views of Persians and of people from the Middle East” with Mazroei and

Dec. 9, 2024 5:52 PM PT 1 DALLAS — Last year, the Dodgers entered Major League Baseball’s winter meetings as one of the most intriguing clubs in the league, as they awaited an outcome to the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes. This year, the team has been somewhat under the radar at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, having already executed several key pieces of offseason business. Last week, the team addressed its need in the starting rotation, landing two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell on a five-year, $182 million contract. On Sunday, it re-signed Blake Treinen in the bullpen and added veteran Michael Conforto for outfield depth — all while another target, Juan Soto, agreed to a record-breaking $765 million deal with the New York Mets. Nonetheless, the Dodgers’ winter to-do list isn’t complete yet. And after manager Dave Roberts and general manager Brandon Gomes met with reporters on Monday, here are five story lines to follow as the rest of the meetings, and the winter, progress. 2 Teoscar Hernández negotiations Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández runs the bases after hitting a three-run home run against the Baltimore
