With profound sadness and heavy hearts, the LASD announces the passing of three of our dedicated detectives: Detective Joshua Kelley-Eklund, Detective Victor Lemus, and Detective William Osborn who were all assigned to Special Enforcement Bureau’s Arson Explosives Detail.
These brave men served with honor, courage, and unwavering commitment to protecting and serving our community. Their tragic loss is deeply felt across our Department and the entire LASD.

DEVELOPING: DHS is replacing Biden's CBP One App with the CBP Home App. The redesign means that instead of migrants using the app to seek appointments to make their case with an immigration official, the app will now focus on helping migrants self-deport. cbp.gov/newsroom/national-me…

Loved sitting down with the folks at @RolliApp to talk AI+media. I'm seeing a lot less hostility toward AI from journalists these days, but there's still a lot of concern — about jobs, about accuracy, and about learning the right skills. @CatalinaOffcl and I get into all of it 👇

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in a court affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from Washington. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late.

Please avoid the 101 freeway in DTLA between I-110 and Mission Rd., as we work to remove a protest from the freeway. Accessing state highways or roads to protest is unlawful and extremely dangerous because it puts protesters, motorists and first responders at great risk of injury
