Yesterday, we celebrated the retirement of Officer Mejia and an incredible 31 years of service to the Anaheim community.

Her dedication helped make Anaheim a better, safer place, and she leaves behind memories that will stay with everyone fortunate enough to work alongside her.

To say she was "well-liked" doesn't even begin to describe the difference she made. Officer Mejia has been the heart of this department, always ready with a hug, a smile, or words of encouragement when they were needed most. Her positivity lifted those around her, and her compassion brought comfort to countless community members during some of life's most difficult moments.

Now it's time for a new adventure. Knowing Officer Mejia, retirement won't keep her still for long. As you continue traveling the world, don't forget to think of Anaheim every now and then. We'll certainly be thinking of you.

Officer Mejia, thank you for 31 years of dedication, friendship, and unwavering service. You have left this department and our community better than you found it, and your legacy will continue to inspire those who follow.

Congratulations on a well-earned retirement! We will miss you!

The results are in. During the Holiday Enforcement Period from 7/2-7/5, CHP officers issued thousands of speeding citations to help keep California roads safe.

Speed limits exist for a reason. Slow down, stay alert, & help protect everyone on the road.

BREAKING: An illegal alien from Mexico was shot and killed in Houston by an ICE officer following a confrontation.

According to ICE, officers were trying to pull him over when he evaded arrest, rammed the ICE vehicle, and tried to run over the ICE officer. As a result, ICE tells me the officer shot the suspect in self-defense. He was taken to the hospital and died. 

Full statement from ICE:

“On July 7, 2026, at approximately 6:50 AM CT, ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop as part of a targeted enforcement operation to arrest an illegal alien. The driver of the vehicle, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo—an illegal alien from Mexico—attempted to evade arrest. From information we are receiving, he rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle, refused to follow multiple verbal commands, and weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer resulting in our officer firing his weapon in self-defense.
 
“The driver was struck, and emergency services were immediately contacted. The driver was transported to the hospital where he passed away from his injuries. The FBI is leading the investigation and is on the scene. This is a developing situation, and we will update the public when more information is available.”

Thick black smoke swallowed the sky as a massive warehouse fire tore through Parkersburg, West Virginia.

Drone video captured the enormous plume rising from the Peoples Cartage warehouse as firefighters battled the blaze for hours.

Gov. Patrick Morrisey declared a State of Emergency for Wood County, with state agencies mobilized to support the response and monitor any potential environmental impacts.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

DNA 🧬 Evidence; A bolt-action rifle wrapped in a dark-colored towel was found in woods near the Utah Valley University campus and introduced as evidence Tuesday afternoon in Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing.

Jennifer Faumuina, who was with the Utah State Bureau of Investigation at the time of the shooting, testified that the rifle was documented, packaged and sent first to the FBI and later to a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives laboratory.

Investigators also collected a screwdriver found on the rooftop of the Losee building on campus, Faumuina said.

DNA testing on the towel matched two people, including Robinson’s roommate Lance Twiggs, according to her testimony. A bolt-action rifle wrapped in a dark-colored towel was found in woods near the Utah Valley University campus and introduced as evidence Tuesday afternoon in Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing.

FBI DNA analyst Amanda Bakker says Tyler Robinson was included as a “possible contributor” of the DNA on the screwdriver and towel.

She let the local investigators know about that result on Sept. 13, she says.

U.S. Department of Justice policy is that examiners don’t use language like “absolute identification” or “reasonable degree of scientific certainty,” she says.

BREAKING: U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.

California should be setting the standard. Instead, too many of our communities are struggling with trash, encampments, unsafe conditions, and public spaces that residents and visitors deserve to enjoy. The leadership of Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass has FAILED US! Failed to address these problems effectively, despite billions being STOLEN AND GONE MISSING of taxpayer dollars ARE GONE AND THE homelessness PROBLEM is only gotten worse !!. Californians deserve accountability, transparency, and measurable results—not excuses.

As for us, we’re not waiting around for someone else to fix it. We’re out there trying to make a difference.

UPDATE: Three firefighters were injured while battling a vegetation fire in Tuolumne County, officials said Tuesday. 

Cal Fire, the state's wildfire management agency, reported the injuries in an incident update. A spokesperson told local news that the injuries were from separate incidents and that all firefighters were treated and released.

The Priest Fire sparked around 2:25 p.m. Monday at Old Priest Grade and Highway 120 at Big Oak Flat, Cal Fire said. It started as a vehicle fire that spread to nearby vegetation, prompting evacuation orders that have since been lifted.  LiveCopter 3 footage at 4:30 p.m. showed that there was no longer a visible smoke plume.  Cal Fire reported having stopped forward progress at 4:48 p.m. and is working to place a full perimeter around the burn area, also known as containment lines.

UPDATE: Dozens arrested in federal crackdown on India-based crime groups.

"Today, as part of “Operation Hard Ball,” law enforcement in the U.S., Canada, and Europe unsealed indictments charging 37 defendants linked to three India-based criminal syndicates in three separate indictments.

These defendants, including two crime bosses already imprisoned in India, are charged with racketeering conspiracy, extortion, trafficking bulk quantities of cocaine by semi-trucks, and murder, including the June 2023 assassination of a political and religious figure as he left a Sikh temple in broad daylight in Canada.

Victims of these transnational criminal syndicates include members of the Indian diaspora, some in the Los Angeles area. They were extorted and threatened by these criminals, who used their notoriety for violence to make money. Another cash cow was drug trafficking, including shipping cocaine and other narcotics stolen from rival crews from the U.S. into Canada.

These ruthless criminals spread misery worldwide. Law enforcement agencies will continue to coordinate globally to combat them wherever they are.

Today, we honored the life and legacy of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy David S. Piquette on the 20th anniversary of his End of Watch, July 7, 2006.

Deputy Piquette proudly served our nation in the United States Marine Corps before joining the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in 1996. During his 10 years of service, he was assigned to the Inmate Reception Center, Century Sheriff’s Station, and the Training Bureau, where he served as a Defensive Tactics Instructor, helping prepare the next generation of deputies.

Today, his family, friends, fellow deputies, and future LASD recruits came together for a memorial run to honor his life, service, and sacrifice. Deputy Piquette was 34 years old when he was tragically killed in an automobile collision and is survived by his wife and their two children.

We also thank California State Senator Bob Archuleta who represents the 30th Senate District for ensuring Deputy Piquette’s legacy lives on through the designation of the Deputy David Piquette Memorial Highway along State Route 91, from the Glassell Street overpass to the N. Tustin Avenue overpass.

Twenty years later, Deputy David S. Piquette’s courage, commitment, and selfless service continue to inspire all who wear the badge and those preparing to earn it.
