LAPD Says It Will Not Enforce Gavin Newsom’s Mask Ban For ICE Agents

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) will not enforce California’s ban on federal agents wearing masks during immigration operations.

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said the policy makes little sense from a safety standpoint, ABC7 Los Angeles reported. He called the law a poor public policy decision that lacked proper consideration.

“We are in line with our federal partners on everything except immigration enforcement,” McDonnell said. “What we’ve seen since June here in Los Angeles and seen across the country, we’re as frustrated as everybody else — about the way that’s being done.” (RELATED: Appeals Court Halts Order Limiting ICE Tactics)

McDonnell told reporters at a news conference that one armed agency confronting another over a misdemeanor creates unnecessary conflict, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. He said his department’s job is to de-escalate situations rather than escalate them.

Even weasels have limits, and asking his officers to go head-to-head with Federal Law Enforcement officers looks to be beyond his. It's also possible that many of his officers and/or the police officers' association told him they would not comply with Noisome's hate-fantasy.

Judge Ordered Illegal Alien Criminal Released on a Date That Doesn't Exist

https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/02/02/judge-ordered-illegal-alien-criminal-released-on-a-date-that-doesnt-exist-n4949011

The woke judge who ordered the Trump administration to release the illegal alien father who abandoned his kid to escape justice dated his outrageous order for a calendar day that does not and has never existed in reality.

Democrats built up a massive sob story campaign over Adrian Conejo Arias after sharing sad photos of his five-year-old boy alone and in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. What neither those propagandists nor Clinton-appointed Judge Fred Biery want you to know is that ICE had to take charge of the child because his criminal father abandoned him and his heartless mother refused to take custody. To crown the whole, Biery’s order is dated February 31. I don’t know about you, but I call that the perfect loophole for the Trump administration to ignore the illegitimate order.

My emphasis.

Heartbreaking: Savannah Guthrie's Mother Disappears; ' Crime Scene'

https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/02/02/heartbreaking-savannah-guthries-mother-disappears-in-apparent-foul-play-n3811460

Unimaginable. Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie, went missing from her Arizona home over the weekend. When family members could not contact her yesterday, police began a search for the 84-year-old woman, described as "sharp as a tack" but reliant on daily medication to survive.

This morning, the Pima County Sheriff's Office declared her home a "crime scene," and investigators still don't know where Nancy may be:

KVOA has more on the statement from Sheriff Chris Nanos:

According to Nanos, Search and Rescue teams from several teams including Pima County and Border Patrol have been looking for Guthrie. The Pima County Homicide unit is looking at Guthrie's home.

Nanos tells News 4 Tucson, helicopters were flying over the area for several hours Sunday.

"There are some things there that are concerning and we don't want to miss anything," Nanos said. "Search and Rescue ,their mission is, we want to find you - we want to find you safe and sound and help you and get you there. That still continues. But, we have an obligation to - when you look at things in this world of ours, you look at that and you go is there something wrong here, is there something missing? We can't just dismiss that. We need to stay on."

Pima County borders Mexico, and Tucson is its largest city. I hope to be wrong, but this does not sound good.

There is evidence of a crime at the home of the missing 84-year-old mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, according to authorities in Arizona.

Nancy Guthrie was last seen in the Catalina Foothills area on Saturday night, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department. Her family reported her missing on Sunday around noon local time, authorities said.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said investigators processed her home on Sunday and "saw some things at the home that were concerning to us," and that it is considered a crime scene.

"She did not leave on her own, we know that," Nanos said during a press briefing on Monday.

Not sure if that means unwillingly or "just" not alone.
