I’m excited to help @shoton35mm.bsky.social launch LA Taco’s much needed investigative reporting desk. We’re already scheming on a couple of stories and I can’t wait to share what we find. Your donations support my work and LA Taco’s future investigations that are in the pipeline.
@404media.co sums up my frustration as a journalist about the new federal contracting website. It’s strange to miss a database that looks like it’s stuck in the early 2000’s, but now there’s less info about contracts, making it harder to do our jobs. Maybe the point?

Over the weekend, violence erupted across parts of Mexico in the wake of the killing of major Jalisco cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, "El Mencho, leaving stores ransacked, residents sheltering in place and flights cancelled.
LA people who know these neighborhoods, how are you feeling?
El Mencho was the last of the old guard—the final mass-trafficking titan standing alongside El Chapo and El Mayo—now fallen, marking the end of an era in Mexican organized crime.
This is a developing story.

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own hands—and tearing them down.

February 16, 2026 NR26026kt Los Angeles Police Department Encourages School Attendance Amid Recent Downtown Activity Los Angeles: In light of recent activity in the downtown area, the Los Angeles Police Department would like to take this opportunity to remind parents and students of the importance of staying in school. School attendance is mandatory in the City of Los Angeles and there may be legal consequences for parents and students for: • Day time Curfew violations - It is unlawful for any minors under 18 to be in public places, streets, or amusement spots during school hours (typically 8:30 am to 1:30 pm. The only exception includes being with a parent, authorized school activities, or emergencies. • California Education Code violations: • Mandates that all children between the ages of six and eighteen, unless exempted, must attend a full-time public day school for the full designated school day. • Middle and high school students are legally permitted one excused absence per calendar year to participate in a "civic or political event," provided advance school notification (emphasis added). • Additionally, Los Angeles Unified School District policy states that three or more unexcused absences or tardies of 30 minutes or more, can trigger a School Attendance Review Board (SARB) intervention for disciplinary action. Parents and students are also reminded that presence at school promotes intellectual growth. It becomes more difficult to fill knowledge gaps with student absences. Attendance builds good habits and healthy routines; and provides structure and stability. Lastly, school attendance also increases student safety, which includes safety resources provided by the Los Angeles Unified School District. (Page 1 of 2) X Follow @LAPDHQ
Any adult that collects or picks up a child and transports them to participate in any illegal activities may be responsible for Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor and is subject to arrest and prosecution. This law applies to actions like providing drugs/alcohol to minors, promoting truancy, and for parents failing to exercise reasonable supervision. Community members, parents, and students may contact their local Community Police Station of the Los Angeles Police Department for additional guidance specific to their community.
The LAPD is citing truancy laws in an attempt to squash the ongoing school walkouts against ICE. The LAPD is also threatening to arrest any parents or adults who support the kids in their acts of civil disobedience.
“Whatever euphemistic term people use for these weapons, all of them are known to maim people for life,” FPF's @adamrose.bsky.social told @shoton35mm.bsky.social. “They’re only appropriate when the only alternative is lethal force.”

Breaking news: ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire warehouses across the U.S. and retrofit them into immigrant detention centers that can hold tens of thousands of people, according to agency documents.

Yesterday, news broke that an immigration judge dismissed the deportation case against Narciso Barranco, an undocumented landscaper who was violently arrested on June 21
My colleagues @kevin-flores.bsky.social & @bencamach0.bsky.social sat down w/ Barranco shortly after for @thesouthlander.com 👇
"Hope is like when you fall into an emptiness, and you have hope that you're going to float, you're going to float. It's like how I always said, 'we're in a hole, but we need to dig. Find a way to move forward.'" - Narciso
