Recent operations under the Trump administration have raised eyebrows and drawn criticism, not only because of their missions but also because of their names and the intent behind them.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday announced Operation Southern Spear, aimed at what he calls "narco-terrorists" who are allegedly bringing illegal drugs into the country.

The family of Stacey Darden, who died in the Eaton Fire, has filed a lawsuit claiming that Genasys Inc., hired by L.A. County to provide evacuation warnings, was negligent that night.

While it provided warnings in enough time to the houses on the east of Lake Avenue, they came too late for those on the west, her lawyers say.

Thousands of University of California campus and health center employees are on a two-day strike beginning Monday. Workers say they’re hitting the picket line over failed contract negotiations.

AFSCME Local 3299 represents custodians, food service workers, patient care assistants and hospital technicians. Its members have been working without a contract for over a year, and they say they’ve been priced out of local housing markets because their wages have failed to keep pace with inflation.

When artist Doug Rosenberg came upon a shopping cart tipped over in the L.A. River's shallow waters back in 2020, he saw the potential to meet nature halfway.

The 36-year-old artist saw an amusing paradox — life sprouting from the metal cart — that planted the seed for his next project: a pop-up wetland in the middle of the L.A. River.

President Donald Trump is now urging House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files, an abrupt reversal of his previous stance.

Trump has long resisted the release of additional files from the Justice Department's investigation into his former friend Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, despite promising on the campaign trail that he would do so if reelected.
