Los Angeles Mayor Lifts Downtown Curfew Amid Immigration Raid Protests

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is lifting a curfew in downtown Los Angeles. Her Tuesday announcement comes after she first imposed the curfew June 10 in response to clashes with police and vandalism amid protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in the city. Bass, a Democrat, said she’s lifting the curfew following “successful crime prevention and suppression efforts.” On Monday she trimmed back the hours after fewer arrests during evening demonstrations. She says the curfew protected stores, restaurants, businesses and residents from people engaging in vandalism.

U.S. And U.K. Sign Trade Deal To Slash Tariffs

U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer say they have signed a trade deal that will slash tariffs on U.K. auto and aerospace industry imports, but they are still discussing how to handle steel production. The pair spoke to reporters Monday at the Group of Seven summit. Trump brandished the pages of what he said was the long-awaited agreement but then dropped them. He also at first said the United States had reached an agreement with the European Union when he meant the United Kingdom. The U.S. president nonetheless insisted the pact would “produce a lot of jobs, a lot of income.”

Officials Arrest 1 Of 2 Detainees Still Missing From New Jersey Immigration Facility

One of the two detainees still missing after escaping from a New Jersey federal immigration detention center has been arrested, the FBI said Tuesday. Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes, from Honduras, has been taken into custody, FBI spokesperson Amy Thoreson said in an email. Andres Felipe Pineda-Mogollon, from Colombia, is still missing from Thursday night's escape, the bureau said. Bautista-Reyes and Pineda-Mogollon and two other men busted out of the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark during reports of disorder there by breaking through a wall and escaping from a parking lot, according to U.S. Sen. Andy Kim, a New Jersey Democrat, and Homeland Security officials. All four men were in the country illegally and had been charged by local police in New Jersey and New York City, federal officials said. Bautista-Reyes was charged in May with aggravated assault, attempt to cause bodily injury, terroristic threats and a weapon crime. Pineda-Mogollon, from Colombia, was charged with minor larceny and burglary crimes. The details surrounding Bautista-Reyes' capture were not immediately clear. Messages seeking information were sent to the FBI and the Homeland Security Department, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The FBI on Monday had increased the reward for information leading to their arrest to $25,000 from $10,000. Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez, one of the other fugitives, was taken into custody in Passaic, New Jersey, on Friday, the day after the escape in nearby Newark. Then, on Sunday, Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada surrendered to federal authorities in Milleville, New Jersey. Sandoval-Lopez, from Honduras, was charged with unlawful possession of a handgun in October and aggravated assault in February, officials said. Castaneda-Lozada, from Colombia, was charged with burglary, theft and conspiracy, authorities said. A message seeking comment on behalf of the men was left Tuesday with the New Jersey public defender's office. It's unclear who may be representing the men. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, a Democrat who’s been critical of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, cited reports of a possible uprising and escape after disorder broke out at the facility Thursday night and protesters outside the center locked arms and pushed against barricades as vehicles passed through gates. Much is still unclear about what unfolded there. But GEO Group, the company that owns and operates the detention facility for the federal government, said in a statement that there was “no widespread unrest” at the facility. Delaney Hall has been the site of clashes this year between Democratic officials who say the facility needs more oversight and the Trump administration and those who run the facility. Baraka was arrested May 9, handcuffed and charged with trespassing. The charge was later dropped and U.S. Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver was later charged with assaulting federal officers stemming from a skirmish that happened outside the facility. She has denied the charges.
