Derek Rodriguez-Hernandez, 2, and older brother Jaden Hernandez left their foster home in the Westlake neighborhood about 1:30 a.m., police said. The boys' foster parents heard the door of their house opening and ran outside, they told KTLA, but the boys were already gone. The LAPD said they'd been taken by their biological mother, Jackeline Hernandez-Torres. An Amber Alert was issued for the trio.

Chief Jim McDonnell reshuffled the upper ranks of the LAPD, promoting three deputy chiefs and reviving a Human Resources Bureau previously disbanded in 2004.

The LAPD reported that around 30 people were injured early Saturday when a car rammed into a crowd outside The Vermont nightclub in Hollywood.

The woman was arrested for vandalism but remarkably managed to escape from custody, stealing a police patrol car and leading officers on a brief chase.

"You have people holding up their press credentials saying, 'I'm press,' and they still got shot. The Legislature spent all this time limiting how use of force can occur in a crowd control situation, and they just all ignored it."

A woman could be seen walking down a sidewalk and faced with a wall of police officers blocking her from walking further.

The police response to immigration protests has intensified, with violence escalating amid tensions between law enforcement agencies and demonstrators, challenging their non-enforcement policies.

The California Department of Insurance accused Eric Halem of providing false information regarding a January 2023 accident, misrepresenting his brother's role in a fraudulent claim.

The man, who was about 65, was turning left from Cleon Avenue onto Saticoy Street when the collision occurred at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Five masked men broke into a West Los Angeles home, tied up the residents, and kidnapped a man, later releasing him near a gas station in Glendale.

The LAPD has faced numerous lawsuits alleging civil rights violations during home raids, paying out over $2 million in settlements since 2018.

The agency released photos of the three suspects Monday, hoping to identify the men linked to repeated hate crimes against a transgender woman.
