Jerry Brown’s plan to stop license suspensions for drivers who fail to pay traffic fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 185 would extend keystones of the state’s temporary traffic amnesty program, requiring courts to reduce fines up to 80 percent for low-income Californians with minor traffic violations, and allowing drivers to get their licenses reinstated if they sign up for payment plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story, Jan. 12:\u003c/strong> Gov.

And I think it's my obligation to keep our city in unity, keep it strong -- make sure that we are taking care of each other regardless of status, regardless of documentation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"vIZhMG6319dKowBh1exXLPPdDNZM00R1\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's no uniform -- or legal -- definition, but sanctuary cities are generally defined as governments that restrict their law enforcement agencies from cooperating with deportation enforcement actions. What that means can vary from county to county or city to city; Los Angeles' policy is a decades-old Police Department order, while San Francisco has actual laws on the books limiting city employees' ability to interact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To define a sanctuary city in the executive order, Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1373\">cited a section of federal law \u003c/a>that states local agencies must communicate with federal immigration authorities. But Angela Chan, an immigration attorney at the Asian Law Caucus, said every single police agency in the nation already does that -- they send ICE the fingerprints of each and every person who is booked into custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What cities like Oakland, San Francisco and Los Angeles don't do is hold a person in jail so that immigration agents can pick them up for deportation if they should be released otherwise. So Chan said it's unclear which jurisdictions Trump's order would actually apply to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order leaves it up to the U.S. attorney general and secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to decide which cities would have funding withheld.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan said she believes the order was purposely vague because \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump-cant-force-sanctuary-cities-to-enforce-his-deportation-plans/2016/12/22/421174d4-c7a4-11e6-85b5-76616a33048d_story.html?utm_term=.1525cbad3b85\">there are several court cases\u003c/a> dealing with states' rights that could make it difficult for the Trump administration to legally require cities and counties to enforce immigration law -- and that limit what funds they can withhold from cities and counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They are well aware of many, many court decisions that have found ICE detainers to violate the constitution -- because they constitute unreasonable search and seizure.

What that means can vary from county to county or city to city; Los Angeles' policy is a decades-old Police Department order, while San Francisco has actual laws on the books limiting city employees' ability to interact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To define a sanctuary city in the executive order, Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1373\">cited a section of federal law \u003c/a>that states local agencies must communicate with federal immigration authorities. But Angela Chan, an immigration attorney at the Asian Law Caucus, said every single police agency in the nation already does that -- they send ICE the fingerprints of each and every person who is booked into custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What cities like Oakland, San Francisco and Los Angeles don't do is hold a person in jail so that immigration agents can pick them up for deportation if they should be released otherwise. So Chan said it's unclear which jurisdictions Trump's order would actually apply to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order leaves it up to the U.S. attorney general and secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to decide which cities would have funding withheld.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan said she believes the order was purposely vague because \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump-cant-force-sanctuary-cities-to-enforce-his-deportation-plans/2016/12/22/421174d4-c7a4-11e6-85b5-76616a33048d_story.html?utm_term=.1525cbad3b85\">there are several court cases\u003c/a> dealing with states' rights that could make it difficult for the Trump administration to legally require cities and counties to enforce immigration law -- and that limit what funds they can withhold from cities and counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They are well aware of many, many court decisions that have found ICE detainers to violate the constitution -- because they constitute unreasonable search and seizure.

"content": "\u003cp>WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump moved aggressively to tighten the nation's immigration policies Wednesday, signing executive actions to jump-start construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall and block federal grants from immigrant-protecting \"sanctuary cities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've been talking about this right from the beginning,\" Trump said during a brief signing ceremony at the Department of Homeland Security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Wednesday afternoon, the White House had not circulated copies of the documents or briefed reporters on the details, as has been typical practice in past administrations. But Trump cast his actions as fulfillment of his campaign pledge to enact hard-line immigration measures, including construction of a wall paid for by Mexico. U.S. taxpayers are expected to pay for the upfront costs, though Trump continues to assert that Mexico will reimburse the money through unspecified means.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with ABC News earlier Wednesday, Trump said, \"There will be a payment; it will be in a form, perhaps a complicated form.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Trump has repeatedly said the border structure will be a wall, his spokesman Sean Spicer said more generally Wednesday the president was ordering construction of a \"large physical barrier.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, who has insisted his country will not pay for a wall, is to meet with Trump at the White House next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The orders Trump signed Wednesday also increase the number of Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to be hired. And the president ordered the end of what Republicans have labeled a catch-and-release system at the border. Currently, some immigrants caught crossing the border illegally are released and given notices to report back to immigration officials at a later date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in the week, Trump is expected to sign orders restricting the flow of refugees into the United States. His current proposal includes at least a four-month halt on all refugee admissions, as well as a temporary ban on people coming from some Muslim-majority countries, according to a source from a public policy organization that monitors refugee issues. The person was briefed on the details of that proposed action by a government official and outlined the plan to The Associated Press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public policy organization source insisted on anonymity in order to outline the plans ahead of the president's official announcements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump campaigned on pledges to tighten U.S. immigration policies, including strengthening border security and stemming the flow of refugees. His call for a border wall was among his most popular proposals with supporters, who often broke out in chants of \"build that wall\" during rallies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to terrorism concerns, Trump controversially called for halting entry to the U.S. from Muslim countries. He later turned to a focus on \"extreme vetting\" for those coming from countries with terrorism ties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To build the wall, the president may rely on a 2006 law that authorized several hundred miles of fencing along the 2,000-mile frontier. That bill led to the construction of about 700 miles of various kinds of fencing designed to block both vehicles and pedestrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Secure Fence Act was signed by then-President George W. Bush, and the majority of that fencing in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California was built before he left office. The last remnants were completed after President Barack Obama took office in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration also must adhere to a decades-old border treaty with Mexico that limits where and how structures can be built. The 1970 treaty requires that structures cannot disrupt the flow of the rivers, which define the U.S.-Mexico border along Texas and 24 miles in Arizona, according to the International Boundary and Water Commission, a joint U.S.-Mexican agency that administers the treaty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's order to crack down on sanctuary cities — locales that don't cooperate with immigration authorities — could cost individual jurisdictions millions of dollars. But the administration may face legal challenges, given that some federal courts have found that local jurisdictions cannot hold immigrants beyond their jail term or deny them bond based only a request from immigration authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It appeared as though the refugee restrictions were still being finalized. The person briefed on the proposals said they included a ban on entry to the U.S. for at least 30 days from countries including Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, though the person cautioned the details could still change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is also likely to be an exception for those fleeing religious persecution if their religion is a minority in their country. That exception could cover Christians fleeing Muslim-majority nations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As president, Trump can use an executive order to halt refugee processing.

The Colorado native is Ivy League-educated, and while in undergraduate school at Columbia University, co-founded a newspaper aimed at rebutting what he considered the dominant liberal and \"politically correct\" philosophy on campus.

Thereafter, he was confirmed in a deal brokered by centrist Republicans and Democrats that allowed some pending nominees to go through, but not others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pryor, a devout Roman Catholic, is a particular favorite among evangelicals and other social conservatives, but he was criticized by some conservative activists when, as state attorney general, he led the charge in removing Alabama's chief justice for refusing to obey a federal court order to take a Ten Commandments monument out of the courthouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"HwZRuE4nKY812xHrVfdZ9L0ariG7IxLR\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Pryor nomination would undoubtedly spark a major confirmation fight — a fight that Democrats are itching for.

"content": "\u003cp>The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office determined Tuesday that officers who shot Ezell Ford in South Los Angeles in 2014 acted in self-defense and will not be charged criminally. The decision, revealed in a \u003ca href=\"http://da.lacounty.gov/media/news/district-attorneys-office-declines-file-charges-against-lapd-officers-ezell-ford-shooting\">news release\u003c/a>, brings to a close the family’s push to see officers prosecuted for what they called an unjust shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My son, he had been in trouble before. But nevertheless, he didn’t do anything that would warrant him being murdered in the street like he was on the night of Aug. 11, 2014,” Tritobia Ford said Tuesday afternoon during a news conference at First AME Church’s Allen House on South Harvard Boulevard. “It was unwarranted. It was unjustified. And as I say, I believe God will have the final say. They may have gotten by right now, but it’s not over. They will have their day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But prosecutors said Ford posed an immediate threat to officers’ safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our office has a daunting challenge each and every time there is an officer-involved shooting,” District Attorney Jackie Lacey said in the news release. “In this case, we did everything we could to ensure a comprehensive investigation. Although the loss of Mr. Ford’s life is tragic, we believe the officers’ actions were legally justified and the evidence supports our decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAPD officers Sharlton Wampler and Antonio Villegas had been \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/06/10/52338/13-seconds-from-stop-to-shots-the-events-that-led/\">working the Newton Division gang unit together for five months\u003c/a> when they encountered Ford on Aug. 11, 2014, as he walked away from a group on a corner. They asked him to stop and instead he sped up his pace. They caught up with him in the driveway of a nearby house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”Rkzx1Rui6fXsPXOyA9mQIYhRof7OnKDB”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wampler came up behind Ford, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, according to the DA’s findings. The officer said he pulled back Ford’s right shoulder to handcuff him. There was a struggle, with Ford and Wampler ending up on the ground. Wampler said he felt Ford reaching for his gun and he yelled that to his partner. Both of them fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford was shot three times. One shot hit his upper front torso, one struck behind the arm, and the third was by Wampler, who reached around Ford with his backup weapon and shot him in the back. The gun was close enough to leave a muzzle mark on his back, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2014/12/29/48960/autopsy-ezell-ford-shot-in-back-at-close-range/\">according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s autopsy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire episode — from the moment Wampler and Villegas stepped out of the car, until the shots were fired — \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/06/10/52338/13-seconds-from-stop-to-shots-the-events-that-led/\">took 13 seconds\u003c/a>, according to investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Police Commission in June 2015 had found Wampler violated policy by chasing Ford and that because of that, the shooting was also out of policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its official letter to the LAPD declining to charge the officers, the DA’s office seemed to disagree, saying Wampler had “reasonable suspicion” to go after him. It also said it considered DNA evidence that showed Ezell Ford was on top of Wampler, trying to grab the officer’s gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11285130\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11285130\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-800x612.jpg\" alt=\"Demonstrators march in downtown Los Angeles protesting the police shooting death of Ezell Ford in August, 2014.\" width=\"800\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-800x612.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-160x122.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-1020x780.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-1180x902.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-960x734.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-240x184.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-375x287.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-520x398.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Demonstrators march in downtown Los Angeles protesting the police shooting death of Ezell Ford in August 2014. \u003ccite>(Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Federico Sayre, the attorney representing the Ford family, said the DA’s decision, while unfortunate, was not unexpected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Lacey told The Associated Press she called Ford’s mother to explain the findings of her office’s investigation, and that no further action will be taken. The district attorney said Tritobia Ford was upset and that it felt “like she was reliving it all over again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tritobia Ford is party to a state lawsuit related to the case — and reached a conditional settlement with the city of Los Angeles. The agreement was reached in November, and has been approved by the city’s Claims Board. It has been awaiting action by the city’s budget and finance committee since last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DA’s office hasn’t charged a law enforcement officer in L.A.

The decision, revealed in a \u003ca href=\"http://da.lacounty.gov/media/news/district-attorneys-office-declines-file-charges-against-lapd-officers-ezell-ford-shooting\">news release\u003c/a>, brings to a close the family’s push to see officers prosecuted for what they called an unjust shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My son, he had been in trouble before. But nevertheless, he didn’t do anything that would warrant him being murdered in the street like he was on the night of Aug. 11, 2014,” Tritobia Ford said Tuesday afternoon during a news conference at First AME Church’s Allen House on South Harvard Boulevard. “It was unwarranted. It was unjustified. And as I say, I believe God will have the final say. They may have gotten by right now, but it’s not over. They will have their day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But prosecutors said Ford posed an immediate threat to officers’ safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our office has a daunting challenge each and every time there is an officer-involved shooting,” District Attorney Jackie Lacey said in the news release. “In this case, we did everything we could to ensure a comprehensive investigation. Although the loss of Mr. Ford’s life is tragic, we believe the officers’ actions were legally justified and the evidence supports our decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAPD officers Sharlton Wampler and Antonio Villegas had been \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/06/10/52338/13-seconds-from-stop-to-shots-the-events-that-led/\">working the Newton Division gang unit together for five months\u003c/a> when they encountered Ford on Aug. 11, 2014, as he walked away from a group on a corner. They asked him to stop and instead he sped up his pace. They caught up with him in the driveway of a nearby house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The officer said he pulled back Ford’s right shoulder to handcuff him. There was a struggle, with Ford and Wampler ending up on the ground. Wampler said he felt Ford reaching for his gun and he yelled that to his partner. Both of them fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford was shot three times. One shot hit his upper front torso, one struck behind the arm, and the third was by Wampler, who reached around Ford with his backup weapon and shot him in the back. The gun was close enough to leave a muzzle mark on his back, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2014/12/29/48960/autopsy-ezell-ford-shot-in-back-at-close-range/\">according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s autopsy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire episode — from the moment Wampler and Villegas stepped out of the car, until the shots were fired — \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/06/10/52338/13-seconds-from-stop-to-shots-the-events-that-led/\">took 13 seconds\u003c/a>, according to investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Police Commission in June 2015 had found Wampler violated policy by chasing Ford and that because of that, the shooting was also out of policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its official letter to the LAPD declining to charge the officers, the DA’s office seemed to disagree, saying Wampler had “reasonable suspicion” to go after him. It also said it considered DNA evidence that showed Ezell Ford was on top of Wampler, trying to grab the officer’s gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11285130\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11285130\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-800x612.jpg\" alt=\"Demonstrators march in downtown Los Angeles protesting the police shooting death of Ezell Ford in August, 2014.\" width=\"800\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-800x612.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-160x122.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-1020x780.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-1180x902.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-960x734.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-240x184.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-375x287.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/EzellFordProtest-520x398.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Demonstrators march in downtown Los Angeles protesting the police shooting death of Ezell Ford in August 2014. \u003ccite>(Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Federico Sayre, the attorney representing the Ford family, said the DA’s decision, while unfortunate, was not unexpected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Lacey told The Associated Press she called Ford’s mother to explain the findings of her office’s investigation, and that no further action will be taken.

He and the team mutually parted ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a veteran police officer that handled a very tough area in Los Angeles, and yet he has this very quiet, calm, humble, genuine, gracious persona,\" Suhr said. \"Roll it all up, and that’s going to make for a great chief who does have a very hard job in the greatest city in the world.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott's experience working to satisfy federally mandated reforms in L.A. is widely believed to have helped him land the job in San Francisco, which in October got a list of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/12/federal-review-of-sfpd-finds-major-faults-in-every-area-assessed/\" target=\"_blank\">272 recommendations\u003c/a> from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The review found \"concerning deficiencies in every operational area assessed,\" which included use of force, bias, community policing, accountability, recruitment, hiring and promotions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the federal review is non-binding, Mayor Ed Lee and Police Department leaders have called the report a \"road map\" and committed to implementing every recommended reform. SFPD is expected to provide the COPS office with a formal update on its progress in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But changing an entire police force isn't a simple task, and efforts to update the department's use-of-force policies have met \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/21/s-f-police-union-announces-breakdown-in-use-of-force-negotiations/\" target=\"_blank\">strong opposition\u003c/a> from the San Francisco Police Officers Association -- the union representing SFPD officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The POA's legal challenge to those use-of-force rules will be in court again in late February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The POA does have a challenge in court regarding the use-of-force policy, which we believe is flawed,\" POA president Martin Halloran said after Scott's swearing-in ceremony, \"which we believe was forced upon our members for more political reasons.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott didn't respond directly, but appeared to address the statement in his speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These are very challenging times for law enforcement, in our city and in our nation, probably the most challenging times in our era,\" he said. \"Our department will have some difficult challenges ahead. We have been tasked with reforming our department, not for the sake of change, and not for political purposes as many have stated, but instead for the sake of making us better at what we do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Halloran said he has not yet had a chance to speak with Scott about the union's position, but he was heartened that the new chief \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/New-SF-Police-Chief-William-Scott-plans-to-earn-10876110.php\" target=\"_blank\">appears to support\u003c/a> equipping SFPD officers with Taser weapons. That's been tried at least four times, each time either voted down by the city's Police Commission in the face of strong opposition or removed from consideration before it made it to a vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shawn Richard, a San Francisco Bayview advocate with the nonprofit Brothers Against Guns, said he's very confident in Scott's ability to improve the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a fresh pair of eyes -- and a fresh pair of ears -- that are going to oversee this department and make sure that every officer in this city and everybody in the community is held accountable,\" he said. \"It’s not just the officers that need to be held accountable. The community needs to be held accountable, too.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",
