Now They Risk Deportation\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Shirley Chung was just 16 months old when an American family adopted her from South Korea in 1966. She was raised by a Black family in Texas, went to a mostly white school and attended a mostly Black church. Growing up in a mixed-race family, she became accustomed to questions about her identity. “’What are you? What are you?’ I’ve heard that my whole life,” she said. “From when I was a little girl, and my mother would have to answer the question.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one thing she never questioned was her identity as an American. That is, until she misplaced her Social Security card and tried to get a new one. She was 57 at the time. “When I get to the Social Security office, that’s when they told me, ‘We can’t give you your card, you need to prove your status in this country,’” she recalled. “I didn’t know what that meant.” It meant that Chung wasn’t actually an American citizen. Someone — either her adoptive parents or the adoption agency — never completed the paperwork required to establish citizenship, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates believe there are between 30,000 and 70,000 adoptees who never became U.S. citizens. Some have been deported to countries they have no memory of ever living in — sometimes to tragic consequences. Emily Howe is a San Diego-based lawyer trying to help Chung and others like her adjust their immigration status. “The concept of an undocumented adoptee is so egregious and appalling,” she said. These are people who were “shipped overseas through no fault of their own” when they were babies, Howe added. Now that they are in their 40s, 50s and 60s, they’re discovering that they don’t have U.S. citizenship. Howe has consulted with adoption attorneys, immigration lawyers, family law specialists and even international law attorneys to find a solution. But she said there is no easy fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>America’s outdated immigration laws don’t offer an easy solution — there is no form adoptees can retroactively fill out and no appeals process. Instead, immigration lawyers have to find complicated work-arounds to establish citizenship — either through marriage, children, or some kind of humanitarian or employment visa program. In 2000, Congress recognized that adoptee naturalization was an issue. They passed a law called\u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/aa/pdfs/FAQs_Child_Citizenship_Act_of_2000.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu> the Child Citizenship Act\u003c/u>\u003c/a>, which streamlined the naturalization process for new adoptees.

The department \u003ca href=\"https://rcdas.org/news/rivco-department-animal-services-operating-state-emergency\">recently reached over 240% capacity for dogs\u003c/a>, as more continue to enter the shelter than are leaving through adoption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help with the overcrowding, the Western Riverside County/City Animal Shelter held a midnight adoption event last week. Monica Hernandez took advantage of the late hours. At nearly 11 p.m., she was looking for a four-year-old pit bull named Fernanda, who she found online. “She’s on the red list,” Hernandez said.

I was a very shy — I would have to say a broken-down — kid. So self-contained, a very sensitive young man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we moved to South San Gabriel … it was one of the poorest neighborhoods in all of L.A. County. Dirt roads, no street lamps, little shacks surrounded by well-off white neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were at war not just with poverty, but with a community that was watching us. The sheriff’s deputies — like an army — were used against us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that slap continued by other means: beaten by cops, harassed by teachers. And some of us joined a gang — I joined a gang at 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On living and dying for the neighborhood:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I didn’t think I was gonna make it. I never thought about what I was going to be. When you joined the barrio, the gang — we didn’t call it a gang — some of us dedicated everything for it. And that meant that we were going to live and die and if we had to, we were gonna kill for the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were so tied into this web …. la vida loca [“the crazy life”]. It’s a web that holds you. But you’re not a fly in that web. You’re actually the spider. You’re putting yourself deeper and deeper in it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our sense was we were prepared to die if we had to. We were gonna die in a blaze of glory that, to us, was for the neighborhood, for the barrio.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On being kicked out and finding books:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I was 15 years old when my parents threw me out. I was already on drugs by 12, getting arrested, stealing, never coming home.

Her monthly premium for a platinum plan was $356.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Altman has downgraded to a gold plan and pays $1,147 per month. That’s a 222% increase over the past decade for less comprehensive coverage. Medical inflation has always outpaced general inflation, but early analyses project premiums will increase even more dramatically as a result of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1/text?s=1&r=1&q=%7B%22search%22%3A%22chamberActionDateCode%3A%5C%222025-07-01%7C119%7C17000%5C%22+AND+billIsReserved%3A%5C%22N%5C%22%22%7D\">reconciliation budget recently signed by President Donald Trump\u003c/a>, and Altman is worried she won’t be able to pay for health insurance any longer. “Since the Senate passed this monstrosity I’ve been trying to figure out how I can land on my feet,” Altman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Altman is one of nearly 2 million people in California who rely on the Affordable Care Act marketplace, commonly known as Obamacare or Covered California. The majority of enrollees are lower- to middle-income earners making $60,240 or less as individuals or $124,800 or less as a family of four. Nearly 800,000 people in California make half that amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump’s budget bill made \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/tracking-the-affordable-care-act-provisions-in-the-2025-budget-bill/\">significant changes to Covered California\u003c/a> that experts and \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/early-indications-of-the-impact-of-the-enhanced-premium-tax-credit-expiration-on-2026-marketplace-premiums/\">insurers\u003c/a> say will increase out-of-pocket costs for consumers. In California on average, premiums are expected to increase by 66%, or $101, per month starting next year without subsidies, according to \u003ca href=\"https://hbex.coveredca.com/data-research/library/Brief%201%20IRA%20ACA%20Premium%20Impacts%202025.pdf\">projections from Covered California\u003c/a>. Lower-income people will see even higher increases because they receive more subsidies. Those making less than 400% of the federal poverty level (about $60,240 per year for an individual) are projected to pay an average of $191 more monthly, according to Covered California data. More than 170,000 middle-income enrollees will lose financial assistance entirely. Some federal subsidies will still be available, but they are less comprehensive than the enhanced subsidies, and fewer people qualify.\u003c/p>\n\n",

LAist reporter Erin Stone recently obtained 911 calls from \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/despite-three-911-calls-two-homebound-disabled-men-died-in-the-eaton-fire-waiting-for-rescue\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">two disabled Eaton Fire victims\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> through a public records request. The calls shed light on why, and how emergency planning continues to leave people with disabilities behind.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The LA County Sheriff’s Department is currently investigating an apartment complex in Santa Monica.

The Eaton Fire erupted about 12 hours earlier, and driven by extreme Santa Ana winds, it was burning a path through neighborhoods of 100-year-old homes and tight-knit, \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/in-altadena-where-many-black-families-became-homeowners-displaced-residents-grapple-with-grief-and-uncertainty\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">multigenerational communities\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sparks are flying in my backyard right now,” Anthony Mitchell Sr. told the dispatcher, his voice calm. “And is the backyard on fire or just sparked?” the dispatcher replied. “It’s sparks right now, but it’s getting close,” he said. “All right. We’ll give them that information. They should be there as soon as possible,” the dispatcher told him. “OK. Thank you, ’cause I’m scared with me and my son being disabled,” Anthony Mitchell Sr. replied. “OK, they’re on their way,” the dispatcher said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAist obtained 911 calls from Anthony Mitchell Sr., who had a disability and lived with his disabled son in the 100 block of Terrace Street. The calls — released by the L.A. County Fire Department nearly five months after LAist requested them — shed light on why and how inadequate emergency planning, training and coordination leaves people with disabilities behind when disaster strikes. The calls are being published with the permission of the Mitchell family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts LAist spoke with said the Mitchells’ case highlights long-running challenges and stalled efforts to improve support for people with disabilities during disasters. Still, they emphasized that even the best planning can’t save everyone. “ No matter how strong the emergency plan is, chances of help arriving quickly in a major catastrophic event are not good,” said \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"http://www.jik.com/bio.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>June Isaacson Kailes\u003c/u>\u003c/a>, a Los Angeles-based disability policy consultant. It’s why early notification to people with disabilities is key, she said. And in the Eaton Fire, those alerts came too late for west Altadena, which is where all but one of the 18 deaths in the fire occurred. People with disabilities require more time to evacuate. They may have specialized medical equipment, and they frequently need to be taken somewhere that can support their needs — designated evacuation shelters, such as a high school gym or a community center, sometimes cannot.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">Three Deputies Killed In Explosion At LA Sheriff’s Department Training Facility\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>An explosion at a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department training facility in East L.A. on Friday \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/fatalities-reported-at-lasd-training-facility-in-east-la-after-possible-explosion\">left three veteran deputies dead.\u003c/a> L.A.

It’s believed that explosive devices may have been taken from an apartment there and transferred to the training facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArtP-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.ijpr.org/law-and-justice/2025-07-16/siskiyou-county-pesticide-emergency\">\u003cstrong>Siskiyou County Sheriff Warns Of Nerve-Agent-Like Pesticides At Illegal Cannabis Sites\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue began seeing bags of Chinese-labeled pesticide at illegal marijuana farms a few years ago. Lab testing showed the products contained a cocktail of dozens of chemicals, including banned compounds harmful to health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaRue said that foreign-labeled pesticides now turn up in about 80% of grow site raids in the county. “The pesticides are being put on the product itself, and they’re being distributed throughout California and other states,” he said. “They’re even being sold in licensed dispensaries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors declared a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.siskiyoucounty.gov/sites/default/files/fileattachments/board_of_supervisors/page/32113/emergencyproclamation_illegalpesticides.pdf?fbclid=IwY2xjawLkwuFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFUTHhnVTVqTzVrekZ2R2R2AR6wZa-r3sImpIXpvJ94csiH65rInJ6r4Ksq2jMS8M2vlAztSflNmX4ddX7t1g_aem_Z4WWoabMvt3Gs3Va6m7yEg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">local state of emergency\u003c/a> to combat the use of the pesticides, which officials say is a “transnational criminal threat.” The emergency declaration establishes a task force, allocates protective equipment for first responders exposed to the chemicals and seeks help from state and federal authorities. The county plans to develop an outreach program to raise awareness among residents about the health risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laboratory tests identified at least 27 pesticides from samples taken at grow sites in Siskiyou County, according to the proclamation, including nine that behave “similar to chemical warfare nerve agents by attacking the central nervous system.” Law enforcement identified pesticides that have either never been approved in the U.S. or have been banned due to safety concerns.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Eaton Fire erupted about 12 hours earlier, and driven by extreme Santa Ana winds, it was burning a path through neighborhoods of 100-year-old homes and tight-knit, \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/in-altadena-where-many-black-families-became-homeowners-displaced-residents-grapple-with-grief-and-uncertainty\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">multigenerational communities\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sparks are flying in my backyard right now,” Anthony Mitchell Sr. told the dispatcher, his voice calm. “And is the backyard on fire or just sparked?” the dispatcher replied. “It’s sparks right now, but it’s getting close,” he said. “All right. We’ll give them that information. They should be there as soon as possible,” the dispatcher told him. “OK. Thank you, ’cause I’m scared with me and my son being disabled,” Anthony Mitchell Sr. replied. “OK, they’re on their way,” the dispatcher said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAist obtained 911 calls from Anthony Mitchell Sr., who had a disability and lived with his disabled son in the 100 block of Terrace Street. The calls — released by the L.A. County Fire Department nearly five months after LAist requested them — shed light on why and how inadequate emergency planning, training and coordination leaves people with disabilities behind when disaster strikes. The calls are being published with the permission of the Mitchell family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts LAist spoke with said the Mitchells’ case highlights long-running challenges and stalled efforts to improve support for people with disabilities during disasters. Still, they emphasized that even the best planning can’t save everyone. “ No matter how strong the emergency plan is, chances of help arriving quickly in a major catastrophic event are not good,” said \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"http://www.jik.com/bio.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>June Isaacson Kailes\u003c/u>\u003c/a>, a Los Angeles-based disability policy consultant. It’s why early notification to people with disabilities is key, she said. And in the Eaton Fire, those alerts came too late for west Altadena, which is where all but one of the 18 deaths in the fire occurred. People with disabilities require more time to evacuate. They may have specialized medical equipment, and they frequently need to be taken somewhere that can support their needs — designated evacuation shelters, such as a high school gym or a community center, sometimes cannot.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">Three Deputies Killed In Explosion At LA Sheriff’s Department Training Facility\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>An explosion at a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department training facility in East L.A. on Friday \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/fatalities-reported-at-lasd-training-facility-in-east-la-after-possible-explosion\">left three veteran deputies dead.\u003c/a> L.A.
