Nearly 650 local students announced where they’re spending the next four years.

Ednovate, a network of public high schools across Southern California held its annual “Decision Day” at the Galen Center.

Most of the graduating seniors from one of Ednovate’s campuses will be the first in their families to attend college.

Students celebrated with dances and performances celebrating their school spirit and heritage.

AB 1896, the GTFO Act (GET THE FEDS OUT) advances off the Assembly floor.

This legislation, jointly authored by @caspeakerrivas and @asmmarkgonzalez, disqualifies ICE agents who have terrorized our communities from being employed by any local, county, or state agency. This includes teachers, police officers, and your city workers -- protecting our most vulnerable communities from interacting with agents of terror.

#fyp #breakingnews #ice

We just passed the No Side Jobs With ICE Act off the Assembly floor. We are one step closer to banning local cops from moonlighting as ICE Agents and terrorizing the same communities they are sworn to protect and serve.

#AB1537

Today we celebrated our seniors and recognized the dedication, leadership, and hard work they have shown throughout their journey with Brown Issues. We are proud to honor their achievements and present them with their Brown Issues stoles as a symbol of their commitment, resilience, and impact on our community. Your legacy will continue to inspire future generations—once Brown Issues, always Brown Issues.

Today, Assembly Bill 2541 “The Lowrider License Plate Bill” moves from the Assembly floor with BI Partisan support and goes to the Senate. California is set to become the 1st state in the nation to create a Lowrider Specialty License Plate!

Have you heard about SB 1105 by @senatorsrp ? Here is @aaangievargas explaining the importance of the bill and calling for support #StayTune

“Rapid responders help keep their community safe from Trump’s brutal deportation operations but their local law enforcement might still be used to monitor or detain them. The Protect California Rights Act – SB 1105 – ensures that communities know their local law enforcement is not mobilized against them by the federal government. ‼️Remember, you have a First Amendment right to record ICE and law enforcement in public.

SB 1105 ensures that our state’s resources and personnel will not be used to support racially discriminatory immigration enforcement activities, investigate organizations and individuals demonstrating against these actions, or target Americans who are documenting ICE’s abusive actions.” written by ACLU

Known online as Angie the ICE Chaser, Angelica Vargas (@aaangievargas) has made it her mission to protect her community.

When the Trump administration launched its immigration enforcement campaign in Southern California last summer, Vargas’s neighborhood was among the first to feel it—starting with her own family. On a Saturday morning last June, her sister was trapped in a Home Depot parking lot during a border patrol raid that had turned the surrounding blocks into a war zone. Vargas drove straight there, and with tear gas filling the air and protesters flooding the streets, talked her way past the blockade to get her out. Days later, she witnessed an agent tackle a stranger at a gas station and started recording. She posted the footage to TikTok that night, and it went viral.

Since then, Vargas has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers and tens of millions of views documenting her mission: following ICE vehicles through the streets of Southern California and posting the footage for anyone who needs to know. By her own estimate, she has responded to roughly 200 ICE-related incidents, using her U.S. citizenship as a shield for people who don’t have it.

For Marie Claire’s 2026 Power Moms list, Vargas opened up about the hardest part of the work, the encouragement she’s received from her daughters, and why she keeps going.

A total of 16,368 people were apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in San Diego County between Jan. 20, 2025 and April 1, 2026 the agency revealed Wednesday.

The data came in a letter response to Rep. Mike Levin, D-Oceanside, who expressed concerns about ICE’s tactics during operations in Oceanside and requested information about the warrants involved and the detainees’ criminal records. The latter was not provided.

“ICE possesses the unambiguous statutory authority to arrest and remove aliens unlawfully present in the United States, no matter the extent of their criminal histories,” the letter from the agency read. “Such authority derives from the laws passed by Congress. These laws have stood for decades and been amended and strengthened over the years by bipartisan majorities. ICE enforces immigration law against all removable aliens, and the commission of violent crimes is not a prerequisite for enforcement. Being unlawfully present in the United States is itself a violation of federal law.”

President Donald Trump had previously pledged to go after the “worst of the worst” immigrants in the country illegally, but many of those being arrested, put in ICE camps and deported have committed a civil misdemeanor and no other offenses, The Guardian reported in February.

Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported the timeframe during which the removals occurred.
