1.\u00a0U.S. Marshal, suspect shot in South LA during immigration enforcement operation<\/a><\/p>\n

A U.S. Marshal and a man were shot and wounded Tuesday during a federal law enforcement operation involving a traffic stop in South Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

The shooting was reported about 8:30 a.m. in the 400 block of East 20th Street, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Public Affairs Officer Luis Alanis.<\/p>\n

The LA Police Department confirmed to Spectrum News that the incident was a federal operation and that the LAPD was not involved, except for providing traffic control at the outer perimeter of the scene.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0LA Times<\/a>\u00a0reported late Tuesday morning that it was a deputy U.S. marshal who was wounded \u2014 by a ricochet bullet from an ICE officer during the operation.<\/p>\n

Video from the scene showed a large presence of agents in the area near Santee High School, which was temporarily placed on lockdown.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0LA City Council set to give final approval for Metal and Wire Theft Reward Program<\/a><\/p>\n

The City Council Tuesday is expected to give its final approval to a proposed ordinance that would create a Metal and Wire Theft Reward program, which city officials hope will curb crimes against public infrastructure such as copper wire theft.<\/p>\n

Last week, council members voted 8-2 in favor of the ordinance and the matter was scheduled for a second vote Tuesday. If approved, the matter will go before Mayor Karen Bass for her consideration.<\/p>\n

In January 2024, then-Councilman Kevin de Leon, alongside Councilwoman Traci Park and Councilman John Lee, introduced a motion seeking to create a tiered reward system program to solicit help from residents in addressing copper wire theft. Council members later approved the motion and instructed the city attorney to draft the ordinance for such a program.<\/p>\n

Rewards would be offered for information involving theft of city plaques, tombstones, statues, light standards, and copper wire, and theft of metals linked to the Sixth Street Bridge.<\/p>\n

The city would offer a $5,000 reward for felony grand theft, and $1,000 for misdemeanor theft.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0LA fire board advances preliminary $199M budget request for 2026-27<\/a><\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Board of Fire Commissioners Tuesday advanced a preliminary budget request of $199.3 million to hire staff, support training and fund other resources needed to address emergencies, prepare for wildfires and upcoming world events.<\/p>\n

In a unanimous vote, commissioners approved a report detailing high-priority funding requests for the department in fiscal year 2026-27. The request is expected to be reviewed by the Mayor’s Office. Any requests that receive a green light will require a formal final request.<\/p>\n

City departments are expected to submit formal requests by Nov. 21, part of an early assessment as Mayor Karen Bass and her team develop her proposed city budget for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

According to a report from the Los Angeles Fire Department, staff identified $75.7 million in operational requests and $123.6 million in non-departmental requests.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0JetBlue moves to Terminal 1 as LAX prepares to demolish Terminal 5<\/a><\/p>\n

Some travelers at Los Angeles International Airport may have found themselves in the wrong terminal Tuesday, as JetBlue shifted its operations to Terminal 1 in advance of the planned demolition and reconstruction of Terminal 5.<\/p>\n

JetBlue is the first of three airlines that will move out of Terminal 5. On Wednesday, Spirit Airlines will move to Terminal 2, and next Tuesday American Airlines will move into Terminal 4.<\/p>\n

“As we take this important step toward transforming LAX, the closure of Terminal 5 marks a pivotal moment in our journey to deliver a world-class airport experience,” Doug Webster, Chief Airport Operations and Maintenance Officer for Los Angeles World Airports, said in a statement. “Our goal is to minimize disruption during this transition, and we are working closely with our airline partners to ensure continued operations and smooth travel for our passengers.”<\/p>\n

The demolition of Terminal 5 is part of efforts to rejuvenate LAX in advance of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. After American Airlines shifts its operations to Terminal 4 next week, Terminal 5 will be completely shuttered to begin demolition efforts<\/p>\n
