State house bill restricting speed camera use passes with a vote of 7-5
On Monday, the Louisiana House Transportation, Highways, and Public Works Committee approved a bill designed to limit the use of speed cameras throughout the state. Republican Senator Stewart Cathey's SB 99 was passed by the House Transportation, Highways, and Public Works Committee on a 7-5 vote. The bill would the limit of use automated traffic enforcement devices across the state. Specifically, SB 99 would ban red light cameras statewide and limit speed enforcement cameras to designated school zones during specified hours. KNOE 8 News reported that Cathey has been working to ban automated speed cameras in Louisiana, believing that the devices are unfair to Louisiana, seeing them as a "money grab." He stated that speeding tickets issued by speed enforcement devices are also not enforceable. 'There are zero consequences to not paying a speed camera ticket," Cathey stated in the interview. "It cannot go on your credit. They cannot arrest you. They can't put a lien on anything. Cannot suspend your driver's license. There are no repercussions if you choose not to pay." Shreveport Democratic Representatives Steven Jackson, Tammy Phelps, and Joy Walters are members of the House Transportation Committee. Jackson voted to advance the bill, while Democratic Shreveport Representatives Joy Walters and Tammy Phelps voted against it. The bill has been referred to the Legislative Bureau.

GOP senator threatens to investigate L.A. migrant advocates, saying they are 'bankrolling' unrest
A Republican senator from Missouri threatened an investigation on Wednesday into one of Los Angeles' most established immigrant organizations, accusing it of "bankrolling the unrest." The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights should "cease and desist any further involvement in the organization, funding, or promotion of these unlawful activities," said Sen. Josh Hawley in a letter sent to Angelica Salas, head of the organization. "Credible reporting now suggests that your organization has provided logistical support and financial resources to individuals engaged in these disruptive actions," wrote Hawley, who chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism. "Let me be clear: bankrolling civil unrest is not protected speech. It is aiding and abetting criminal conduct. Accordingly, you must immediately cease and desist any further involvement in the organization, funding, or promotion of these unlawful activities." Hawley did not immediately respond to a request to comment. Salas, a longtime immigrant rights activist who pushed for sanctuary state laws and has organized dozens of peaceful protests over the years, said the accusations are false and pointed to the years of peaceful organizing the group has done in Los Angeles. "This is trying to take away the spotlight from the pain and suffering that this administration is causing," she said. "I refuse to make it about anybody else but them." She said the federal government is engaged in a concerted effort to strip immigrants of their rights, in part by undermining the groups that support them. Hawley's letter follows an announcement by a House panel this week that it would investigate 200 non-governmental organizations, including her coalition, "that were involved in providing services or support to inadmissible aliens during the Biden-Harris administration's historic border crisis." In a statement, House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green (R-Tenn.) and Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability Chairman Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.) wrote that they "are examining whether these NGOs used taxpayer dollars to facilitate illegal activity, as the previous administration incentivized millions of inadmissible aliens to cross our borders." On Friday, federal officials arrested Service Employees International Union California President David Huerta on suspicion of interfering with federal officers. The union is among the groups working with the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights. The top federal prosecutor in Los Angeles Bill Essayli seemed to suggest on Sunday that other union officials and organizers would be investigated. 'We saw union activists and organizers be involved in these efforts to resist our operations," he told local television station KCAL . "We've got lots of video online and both surveillance videos. We have FBI teams working around the clock we will identify you. We'll find you and we'll come get you." Salas said they are doing nothing illegal, but she takes threats seriously. "It's very clear they have an agenda against social justice organizations and anybody in any infrastructure that supports the community rights organizations." she said. "That's why they've not just gone after the immigrant community, but also after organizations, by defunding us, by trying to discredit us, trying to connect us with violent groups. This is not normal." Sign up for Essential California for news, features and recommendations from the L.A. Times and beyond in your inbox six days a week.

Senators return the impeachment case against Sara Duterte to the Philippine House
MANILA, Philippines -- Philippine senators set themselves as an impeachment court Tuesday for the trial of Vice President Sara Duterte over corruption and other criminal allegations, but voted to send the raft of complaints back to the lower House of Representatives due to legal questions. Dozens of activists protesting outside the Senate condemned Senate President Chiz Escudero and 17 other senators for voting to send back the impeachment complaint to the House instead of immediately bringing Duterte to trial. Five senators rejected the move. The Senate action will delay the start of Duterte's impeachment trial but it's unclear what other impact it would have on her case. 'There is no `remand' or `return' in the constitution,' said Sen. Risa Hontiveros, who has demanded an immediate trial of the vice president. 'Our obligation is to try and decide.' Escudero said the move did not mean that the impeachment complaint was being dismissed and underscored that point by issuing summons for Duterte to appear before the impeachment court when the trial proceeds. Duterte was impeached by the House in February on a range of accusations that include plotting to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and large-scale corruption. Many legislators who backed Duterte's impeachment were political allies of Marcos and her impeachment deepened a bitter political rift between the two highest leaders of one of Asia's most rambunctious democracies. The vice president's supporters have said the legislators violated the constitution and congressional rules to force her impeachment and prevent her from running in presidential elections in 2028, when Marcos' six-year term ends. Duterte, 47, is the daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte who was arrested in March and flown to The Netherlands to face charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court. The Hague-based court had ordered the former president's arrest through Interpol, the global police organization, after accusing him of committing a crime against humanity over deadly anti-drug crackdowns he oversaw while in office.
