Arya's online tribute wall is filled with dozens of posts from her friends and family showing silly photos she took with her friends, pictures of her as a young girl, expressions of sorrow at her death and condolences for her parents. Many photos are of Arya swimming or exploring the outdoors, and one shows her at a much younger age excitedly holding a snake.
'I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to be Arya's aunt for 8 years, getting to know her spunky, sassy personality. She was always such a ray of light and had me laughing,' Alex LeBeau wrote in her tribute post. 'Anywhere she saw me or her uncle Zach, she'd run up to us to say hi and give us a hug. Even down to her helping me get ready on my wedding day. 🩵 Her sweet soul will be seriously missed."

Glendale jail is holding ICE detainees, an outlier in California, as immigration arrests rise
Immigrants detained by federal agents in Southern California are being housed at the Glendale City Jail, making the Los Angeles suburb one of the few, if not the only, known jurisdiction in the "sanctuary" state to sidestep rules prohibiting local law enforcement from assisting in federal immigration enforcement. It's unclear how many detainees are being held at the 96-bed facility, but The Times confirmed at least two individuals were placed there over the last week by immigration officials. The facility is one of the busiest jails in the state and is staffed by the Glendale Police Department. Glendale City Council members defended the detentions this week, saying that the city had an 18-year-old contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, to temporarily house noncriminal detainees. They said the agreement is in compliance with state Senate Bill 54, a landmark law that made California the first in the nation to create a sanctuary state. 'Glendale has a contract with ICE, and yes, on occasion, ICE detainees will be given bed space at our facility,' said Annette Ghazarian, a spokesperson for Glendale. Shortly before President Trump took office, Glendale Police Chief Manuel Cid told the council that the jails hadn't been used frequently for immigrant detainees since the Obama administration. He said that the mass sweeps would be logistically difficult given the capacity of the federal detention centers and that he didn't expect local agencies to fill the gap given state law. Read more: A sanctuary law aimed to 'Trump-proof' California on immigration. What has it accomplished? But advocates fear that is exactly what's happening. They believe that Glendale's arrangement takes advantage of a loophole in state sanctuary laws that omit standing contracts. And it raises questions about the state law amid ramped up enforcement efforts by the Trump administration, which has said it aims to arrest 3,000 undocumented immigrants daily. 'It is deeply, deeply troublesome," said Andres Kwon, senior policy counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California. 'This contract very much goes against the principle and value of creating a bright line between local resources and federal immigration enforcement.' At a minimum, Kwon said the contract should end immediately. 'This is where the attorney general has jurisdiction and responsibility to review and oversee how Glendale is acting pursuant to this contract,' he said. The attorney general also has a mandate to review and report on conditions of confinement, which it has yet to do. Other municipalities terminated their contracts after then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed SB 54, which prohibited local and state municipalities from using funds for federal immigration enforcement purposes, including the use of jail facilities. But Glendale's then-Police Chief Robert Castro, who opposed the law, did not. And at the time, the city manager warned against nixing the contract in a bid to maintain a good relationship with federal authorities. Jennie Quinonez-Skinner, a resident of Glendale, said she has been urging council members to abandon the contract since learning about it during the first Trump administration. 'They can end if they want to, they just don't want to,' she said. 'I see no justification for doing it. Under the current administration, with lack of due process, it's harmful.' At the time the contract was signed in 2007, the federal government promised to pay Glendale $85 a day for each detainee. Nearly 10 years later in 2016, the city reported that it received a little more than $6,000 for its services in one year. City documents show the contract terms are indefinite and 'may be terminated by either party with 60 days' written notice.' At the Glendale City Council meeting Tuesday night, immigration lawyer Sarah Houston, whose client had been detained at the jail and been without food for nine hours due to being transferred between multiple facilities, questioned why Glendale was adhering to a decades-old agreement that runs afoul of SB 54. 'We have SB 54 that says very explicitly, local law enforcement cannot provide resources, including cells, to immigration enforcement. California is a sanctuary state,' Houston said at the meeting. 'Do you want Glendale to be one of the only cities that allows local police departments to work with the Department of Homeland Security, so that they can just house and detain a lot of our immigrant sisters and brothers?' Read more: LAPD presence at South L.A. immigration raid sparks questions Glendale Councilmember Elen Asatryan tried to distance the city from immigration operations. 'We do not get involved, we are not even booking them, they are using the cells as a holding place in the city of Glendale,' Asatryan said. She disputed that detainees were not being provided food or water. The use of the Glendale City Jail to hold migrants has come up in recent weeks as the Trump administration pushes to increase the number of immigrant arrests by targeting them as they leave the courtroom. Immigration officials admit the effort has stressed their own resources as they look to increase capacity. ICE has about 7,000 beds in California with six privately owned facilities and has been looking to expand its footprint in the state as its enforcement begins to outstrip its detention space. 'U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's enhanced enforcement operations and routine daily operations have resulted in a significant number of arrests of criminal aliens that require greater detention capacity,' said Richard Beam, an ICE spokesman. 'While we cannot confirm individual pre-decisional conversations, we can confirm that ICE is exploring all options to meet its current and future detention requirements.' In Los Angeles, Santa Ana and around the country, masked federal agents in plain clothes have been arresting migrants as they leave their immigration hearings, often after a government lawyer asks that their deportation proceedings be dismissed. Family members who come to support their loved-ones often are left distraught.

'I can imagine it will be an influx for detention centers that probably don't have the resources in place to keep all of these folks,' Shepard said. 'In Southern California, the detention centers were quite unprepared for the number of people being detained.' Times reporters witnessed more than half a dozen arrests at courthouses in downtown Los Angeles and Santa Ana courthouses Monday. In Los Angeles, Jianhui Wu, of China, was detained after the government moved to dismiss his case and seek expedited removal proceedings. The judge granted the man another hearing in August to give him time to find an attorney, telling him 'you need to talk to someone competent' about his case. But as he left the courtroom, a plainclothes ICE agent followed him, while another stopped him in the hallway. One agent took the man's backpack as they handcuffed him and swiftly took him down a service elevator. By Tuesday, he was being held at the Glendale City Jail.

Pennsylvania joins calls to ban food dyes in schools
Pennsylvania schools could soon be banned from offering students food with common food dyes. The big picture: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Trump administration have launched bids to eliminate synthetic dyes from the food supply and revamp what Americans eat. State of play: The artificial dye ban proposed in the state House would prevent public schools from serving food with the following substances: Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6. Zoom out: Such bans have been a growing trend at the state level. After California passed a first-in-the-nation food dye law two years ago, at least two dozen states have taken up similar legislation. That includes West Virginia, which recently passed a law to ban nine synthetic dyes and additives from food sold in the state. Plus: The FDA recently approved three natural color additives in its effort to eliminate synthetic dyes in foods. Between the lines: Republican state Rep. Natalie Mihalek, who serves part of Allegheny and Washington counties, filed her food-dye ban bill as part of a legislative package of proposals that address the state's food supply. Those proposals include the disclosure of certain chemicals on food labels. Another proposal in the Pennsylvania Senate seeks to allow schools to offer whole and 2% milk that's produced in Pennsylvania. What they're saying: Mihalek tells Axios she became interested in banning food dyes over concerns about what her three school-aged children were eating.

Virginia is a hot spot for immigration enforcement
Virginia is one of five states where efforts to arrest and remove unauthorized immigrants appear most aggressive, according to an Axios analysis. Why it matters: Over 2,000 Virginians received removal orders in March, the fifth-highest number nationwide, per data from the nonpartisan Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). By the numbers: Of the 42,000 removals of immigrants ordered in March, over 300 were from the Richmond area, according to an analysis of TRAC data. Richmond had 126, followed by Chesterfield (116) and Henrico (81). And Fairfax County was in the top 10 U.S. localities for most immigrants ordered removed (504). The big picture: Our review of removal orders and agreements between immigration officials and local law enforcement agencies shows where the Trump administration is dispatching resources for mass deportations. Local law enforcement agencies in Virginia, Texas, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina have been most cooperative with immigration enforcement in rounding up immigrants through deals known as 287(g) agreements, per our analysis. Virginia has a fraction (over 3%) of the 629 agreements in place nationwide, but it has the fifth-highest number signed or pending. Between the lines: Virginia's 21 signed and pending agreements are still less than 10% of the hundreds of localities and state agencies throughout the commonwealth. Most, except for Loudoun, are concentrated in Republican-leaning counties. Others are among state agencies, including the Virginia Department for Wildlife Resources and the Marine Resources Commission. And some police officials, including Richmond's chief of police, have said they have no interest in signing and potentially undermining the communities' trust. Zoom in: Gov. Youngkin, like governors in other GOP-led states, directed state law enforcement to partner with ICE and assist in arresting immigrants back in February via these agreements. It has since led to a series of high-profile raids, including hundreds in Northern Virginia and a few in an Albemarle courthouse, that have rattled immigrant communities. In February, Virginia also launched the first task force in the country that partners with federal agencies to target illegal immigration and international gangs. In May, Youngkin announced that the task force had arrested over 1,000 alleged unauthorized immigrants within two months. Reality check: Neither Youngkin or federal officials have publicly disclosed who these people are or how they're identifying that they have ties to gangs like MS-13 or Tren de Aragua.
