The Trump administration’s decision, in May, to cut funding for the Job Corps program nationwide has been temporarily halted by the U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter in Manhattan. Carter issued an injunction preventing the U.S. Department of Labor from shutting down Job Corps centers without congressional approval, according to the Associated Press.

An injunction can be long lasting or even permanent. As a result of Carter’s injunction, Mami Job Corp Center director Bernard Johnson states the following, “ We are contacting former students, requesting they return to finish what they began.” Associated Press states Job Corp site leaders are waiting on the green light to accept new enrollments.

By a vote of 218 to 214, the GOP-controlled U.S. House passed President Trump’s massive budget and spending bill that will add $3.5 trillion to the national debt, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The bill also represents the biggest cut in Medicare in history and is a threat to the health care coverage of over 15 million people. The spending in Trump’s signature legislation also opens the door to a second era of over-incarceration in the U.S. With $175 billion allocated in spending for immigration enforcement, the money for more police officers eclipsed the 2026 budget for the U.S. Marines, which is $57 billion. Almost all of the policy focus from the Trump Administration has focused on deporting immigrants of color from Mexico and Haiti.

The city of Malibu boasts the seventh-most expensive zip code in America, with an average home price of more than $6.8 million in 2024. But while Malibu – with its slightly more than 10,000 well-heeled residents – may not be the most expensive place to live in the U.S., the city’s leaders may be the best in the country at wielding their power to keep the less privileged out of their exclusive enclave....

The Sparks retired the No. 3 jersey worn by Candace Parker at halftime of today’s 92-85 loss to the Chicago Sky at Crypto.com Arena, honoring their career assist leader, who led them to their most recent WNBA championship. Parker began her sightly more than four-minute speech before the curtain covering a replica of her jersey on the arena’s wall was lowered by recalling how for the 2008 WNBA draft lottery she “wanted the balls to fall in L.A.’s court,” going “where all the eyeballs, all the lights, where there’s ginormous shoes to fill.

On Monday the Trump administration sued the city of Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass and the City Council over L.A.’s so-called “sanctuary city” policies, alleging in federal court that the ordinance violates the Constitution by “thwarting” immigration enforcement.

The lawsuit contends that the sanctuary laws — in which local law enforcement officials refuse to assist immigration enforcement efforts — are illegal, and expressly designed to “obstruct the federal government’s enforcement of federal immigration law and impede consultation and communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials that is necessary for federal officials to carry out federal immigration law and keep Americans safe.”

California lawmakers and state agencies are intensifying efforts to combat the growing prevalence of hate crimes and bias incidents across the state. On June 25, a legislative hearing and two newly released government reports highlighted the persistent threats facing communities targeted by race, religion, gender identity and other forms of discrimination.

Assemblymember Corey Jackson (D-Moreno Valley), a member of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC), chaired a hearing of the Assembly Select Committee on Racism, Hate, and Xenophobia, titled “The State of Hate and Charting a Path Forward.” Held at the State Capitol, the hearing featured three panels focused on the impact of hate across California and strategies for moving forward.

Imagine a person loving school so much that they create a fake persona and attend as a ‘ghost student.’ Sounds backward, doesn’t it? Well, that’s what criminals are doing to scam the federal financial aid department out of student reimbursements. In some cases, professors have reported that nearly no one in their classes is real, according to the Associated Press. These fake enrollments are overcrowding courses and locking out real students who need credits to graduate.

Victims of identity theft are left with the burden of facing months of calls to colleges, the Federal Student Aid office, and loan servicers to get the debt erased.
