After a big dose of winter-like conditions, SoCal will dry out and sunshine is appearing in abundance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Winds should be weakening by Wednesday afternoon \u2014 but will then flip from the northeast.<\/p>\n

That will lead to a gradual warmup into the weekend.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0LACo Board OKs local emergency proclamation due to immigration raids<\/a><\/p>\n

The county Board of Supervisors declared a local state of emergency Tuesday in response to ongoing federal immigration enforcement raids, alleging the actions are preventing people from going to work and forcing some businesses to close.<\/p>\n

Supervisor Lindsey Horvath introduced the motion calling for the drafting of the emergency proclamation in response to a report presented to the board last week by county attorneys on options for possibly enacting an eviction moratorium or other protections for people impacted by the raids.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Tenants Union advocacy group has been pushing the board for weeks to enact such a moratorium, saying the raids are creating enough fear to prevent people from going to work, or prompting businesses to temporarily close, leaving their employees unable to work.<\/p>\n

The county attorney’s report noted that an eviction moratorium could be enacted during a declared local emergency, but it would have to be “temporary and narrowly tailored” to address impacts of the emergency, while also protecting landlords’ due process rights and requiring tenants to ultimately repay back rent.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Newsom rejects parole for former Manson follower Patricia Krenwinkel<\/a><\/p>\n

Gov. Gavin Newsom denied parole Tuesday for former Charles Manson follower Patricia Krenwinkel, who is serving a life prison term for her role in the 1969 Tate-La Bianca murders.<\/p>\n

Krenwinkel, now 77, was convicted of seven counts of first-degree murder in 1971 for participating with fellow Manson family members Charles “Tex” Watson and Leslie Van Houten in the Aug. 9, 1969, killings of the seven- months-pregnant actress Sharon Tate, Thomas Jay Sebring, Abigail Ann Folger, Wojciech Frykowski and Steven Earl Parent and the slayings of grocers Leno and Rosemary La Bianca the following day.<\/p>\n

She originally received a death sentence, but it was reduced to life in prison under a California Supreme Court ruling that invalidated all death sentences before 1972.<\/p>\n

A state parole board panel in May recommended parole for Krenwinkel, but such recommendations are always subject to review by the governor. In a four-page written decision issued Tuesday, Newsom wrote that he has “concluded that the evidence in Ms. Krenwinkel’s case demonstrates that she lacks the requisite insight she needs to be safely released.”<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Ohtani’s NLCS starting pitching assignment for Dodgers won’t come until Game 4<\/a><\/p>\n

Shohei Ohtani\u2019s first NL Championship Series mound appearance for the Dodgers won\u2019t come until Game 4 in Los Angeles on Friday.<\/p>\n

Tyler Glasnow will start Game 3 and Ohtani will work Game 4, manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday, a day after his team beat Milwaukee 2-1 in the opener..<\/p>\n

Ohtani made his postseason pitching debut Oct. 4 and allowed three runs over six innings for a 5-3 win over Philadelphia in the first game of the NL Division Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cShohei has been fine with rest,\u201d Roberts said. \u201c(This) potentially lines him up if we need a Game 7 out of the ‘pen. Game 3, we feel that Tyler is on regular rest, so it kind of lines him up as well. So just kind of all these things just made sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roberts said before the NLCS that delaying Ohtani\u2019s pitching performance had nothing to do with the three-time MVP\u2019s hitting slump. The two-way star went 1 of 18 with nine strikeouts against Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Ban on Glock-style handguns to take effect in California<\/a><\/p>\n

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law, Assembly Bill 1127, which bans handguns\u00a0that use a striker firing system, such as with Glock handguns, versus a hammer firing system.<\/p>\n

California already banned switches, but it is the first state to ban handguns that can easily convert into automatic weapons.<\/p>\n

Legislators behind the new law said they are asking manufacturers to reconfigure gun\u00a0designs\u00a0so they aren\u2019t easily modified.<\/p>\n
