Is Law Enforcement Skirting the Rules? A federal investigation of possible misconduct by the District Attorney and the Sheriff of Orange County has been called for by a group of legal heavyweights. They include 30 law professors, led by Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at UC Irvine. Others are former LA District Attorneys Gil Garcetti and John Van de Kamp — who also served as California’s Attorney General—and the ACLU.

One Year Later: Rebuilding from the Thomas Fire This week marks one year since the Thomas Fire descended on the city of Ventura. It burned more than 500 homes within city limits. Since then, roughly half of those properties have received the green-light to start construction, but only a handful have actually broken ground. We visit one neighborhood where some of the first homes are getting rebuilt.

And California counties must now hold public meetings on their relationship with federal immigration agents.
