Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station Leads Large-Scale Operation Targeting Criminal Street Gang Activity

In the early morning hours, the Juveniles and Gangs (JAG) team at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station led a coordinated, multi-location operation aimed at disrupting criminal street gang activity and safeguarding the Santa Clarita Valley.

The operation, the result of a two-year investigation into serious crimes, led to the simultaneous service of 13 search warrants across multiple locations. The effort resulted in 11 detentions and 8 arrests of known gang members — including two juveniles. Deputies also recovered four firearms (one of which was reported stolen), body armor, gang-related clothing, and other evidence connected to ongoing criminal conduct.

More than 150 LASD personnel were involved in the early morning operation, with support from specialized units within LASD HQ as well as the LA DA, LA DCFS, and the FBI Los Angeles.

This operation reflects the Sheriff’s Department’s continued commitment to keeping Santa Clarita safe. Our focus remains on prevention, accountability, and collaboration — using every resource available to stop criminal activity before it can impact our neighborhoods.

Michigan: A 22-year-old male with a history of violence is back in custody and now facing additional charges after managing to briefly escape Detroit Police custody during transport from a medical check in the 4200 block of St. Antoine Street.

His time on the run was short thanks to fast action and sharp coordination. The suspect, who allegedly assaulted DPD officers during multiple parts of the arrest and transport, was quickly located and taken back into custody thanks to our Detroit Police Aviation Unit and coordinated efforts by officers on the ground. The suspect was taken into custody without further incident.

This outcome reflects the strength of our partnership with the community and the effectiveness of our technology in protecting both our officers and our neighborhoods.

This is why Americans don’t trust the legacy media:

The Wall Street Journal claims the Trump Administration “sought to portray” deported illegal alien foreign terrorist Kilmar Abrego Garcia “as violent.”

No, his own wife portrayed him as violent when she filed an order of protection against him for viciously beating her.

Update: Two people were killed, and six others were injured in a shooting at Florida State University (FSU) on Thursday, authorities said. 

Police identified the suspected shooter as 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner, a student at the school. They also said his mother is a Sheriff's Deputy, and said Ikner used his mother's weapon in the killing.

His mother has been an officer for over 18 years and authorities say she has done a "tremendous job."

Authorities have said that the two who were killed were not FSU students.

The university and authorities are asking student, staff and faculty to call their loved ones if they haven’t already. The area is still considered an active crime scene.
