A sidewalk memorial is set up for former NFL lineman Kevin Johnson, who was one of four people recently killed in a Willowbrook homeless encampment. Los Angeles County sheriff’s homicide detectives are looking for possible links among the recent slayings of four homeless people in Willowbrook, including the killing of former NFL lineman Kevin Johnson, who was stabbed to death last month. Then, on Dec. 4, a 52-year-old homeless man was killed in the riverbed embankment. Eight homicide detectives — two per case — are looking into the killings. But the recent wave of violence highlights how overrepresented L.A. County’s unhoused community members are as victims of violent crime.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously approved sweeping cuts to an array of homeless services, a move some advocates said will push more people onto the streets. Pathway Home, the county program that cleans up encampments and moves people into motels and shelters, will see a $92-million cut in funding, according to the county homeless department. Folding the bed rate increase into the homeless budget cost more than $100 million, according to the county homeless department. The coming reductions to some homeless programs could threaten the slight progress Los Angeles has made in getting people housed in recent years. In 2025, there was about 72,000 people living on the streets or in shelters in L.A. County, 4.3% fewer than in 2023, according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.

A federal judge was skeptical of President Donald Trump’s argument to try to move the appeal of his hush money conviction to federal court — after lawyers already took their shot in two other courts. Trump’s attorneys are trying to get the appeal of his hush money conviction moved into federal court where the judges could interpret challenges involving federal preemption and presidential immunity. Removal would also plow a quicker path to have the appeal heard by the US Supreme Court. “All your doing is saying your good cause is you’re afraid to anger the state court and you want to give the state court the first chance” to rule on the Supreme Court decision before trying the argument in federal court, the judge said. That appeal can ultimately be brought to the US Supreme Court but it has additional layers of review.

Blackwell is threatening to hold her and another lawyer in contempt for repeated violations of orders he’s issued in immigration cases. “It takes 10 e-mails to get a release condition to be corrected,” Le told Judge Blackwell on Tuesday. ‘I also go back and threaten them’The Trump administration’s enforcement blitz in Minnesota has faced push back from state and local officials, who failed to convince a different federal judge in Minneapolis to temporarily block the operation.
