Deputies in pursuit near Granada Hills
Los Angeles County deputies are in pursuit of a driver near Granada Hills. It's unclear where the chase began. With SkyCal overhead, the driver, behind the wheel of a large pickup truck, could be seen driving on the wrong side of the road. At one point, a person who appeared to be a passenger briefly exited the truck and tried to open the door of a white sedan. When the door did not open, they got back into the truck, which took off again heading against traffic on the 405 Freeway in Sylmar. They again attempted to get into another vehicle, a white semi truck, just moments after the first attempt.

Trump Says Homeless Must Move From D.C. ‘Immediately'—FBI Agents Reportedly Deployed
The FBI is set to deploy its agents to conduct night patrols in the nation's capital, according to multiple reports, as President Donald Trump said that homeless people living in the nation's capital would 'have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,' ahead of a planned press conference where he will address his claims that violent crime is widespread in the nation's capital, despite federal data indicating crime rates have fallen to historic lows. The president claimed Washington, D.C., had become "one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world," despite federal data indicating crime fell to historic lows. Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. According to the New York Times and the Washington Post, the administration will pull 120 FBI agents, primarily from the agency's Washington field office, from their regular duty and deploy them on night patrol duty with local law enforcement officers to tackle street crime. A White House press conference on Monday will 'essentially stop violent crime' in Washington, D.C., Trump wrote on Truth Social, claiming the city had become 'one of the most dangerous' in the world. Trump said the press conference would take place at 10 a.m. on Monday, and would focus on 'ending the Crime, Murder, and Death in our Nation's Capital.' 'The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social accompanied by images of a few tents and refuse scattered on the side of the road and the steps of a building, adding 'we will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital.' Trump said his plans in D.C. include also 'beautification' efforts, and took the opportunity again to lambast the Federal Reserve for their yearslong headquarters renovation and ballooning budget of at least $2.5 billion on the project. Trump has claimed in recent months that violent crime was rampant in Washington, D.C., and has threatened to deploy the National Guard and have the city be taken over by the federal government, writing earlier this week that if 'D.C. doesn't get its act together, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the city.' Violent crime rates in Washington, D.C., dropped 35% from 2023 to 2024, marking the lowest rates recorded in more than 30 years, according to the Justice Department. According to data released Aug. 8 by the Metropolitan Police Department, violent crime rates have continued to fall in 2025, with violent crime down 26% year-over-year. The MPD said homicide rates have dropped 12% on the year so far, sex abuse by 49%, assault with a dangerous weapon by 20% and robbery by 28%. Property crime rates have also fallen, including burglary (19%), theft from vehicles (4%) and other theft crimes (6%). However, Trump continued to insist Sunday that the crime numbers keep rising. 'The Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances, and the Crime Numbers get worse, and the City only gets dirtier and less attractive,' the president wrote on Truth Social. 'The American Public is not going to put up with it any longer.' Why Does Trump Want A Federal Takeover Of D.c.? Trump previously called for the federal government to take control of Washington, D.C., by falsely claiming violent crime rates were rising in the city. His latest calls follow an attack on a high-ranking member of the Department of Government Efficiency, as Trump wrote on Truth Social that crime in D.C. was 'out of control' and the federal government would 'put criminals on notice that they're not going to get away with it anymore.' MPD said two 15-year-old suspects were arrested and charged with unarmed carjacking, after Edward Coristine was assaulted in the early morning of Aug. 3. Bowser said that although the incident was unfortunate, crime in the city was already trending lower for the month. 'We had one of the lowest crime levels in shootings in a July in recent history,' the mayor said, later adding that carjackings fell 50% after spiking in 2023, and are still falling this year. It's not immediately clear whether Trump would bring in the National Guard, though the White House said in a statement that agents from some law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, immigration police and a dozen other offices were deployed early Friday. It's not immediately clear where or how many agents were deployed, though the White House said deployment was focused on 'high traffic areas and other known hotspots.' Officials will be 'identified, in marked units, and highly visible.' Bowser said she was concerned that deploying the National Guard would not be the most 'efficient' use of their time, explaining Sunday 'they're not law enforcement officials. These are men and women who leave their families to serve our country, and that is just not their primary role—to enforce local laws.' Earlier this year, Trump deployed about 4,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles in response to protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Could Trump Order A Federal Takeover Of D.c.? Trump could lobby support for federal control of Washington, D.C., though doing so would require approval from Congress, which would need to vote to repeal the 1973 Home Rule Act. The law established a legal framework for city residents to elect local officials, including a mayor and city council, to manage city business. A bill to repeal the Home Rule Act was introduced by Rep. Andrew Ogles, R-Tenn., in February, though the legislation has yet to move forward. Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., told Fox News she would 'totally' support Trump if he sought a federal takeover, adding, 'If that's what we need to do to get it done, that's what he should do.' Trump has said he would support a federal takeover of the MPD, falsely claiming the crime rate in the city was 'ridiculous,' though legal experts have said this would likely be challenged in court. On Sunday, Bowser said that the president could only take over the MPD if specific conditions were met. 'None of those conditions exist in our city right now. As I mentioned, we are not experiencing a spike in crime, in fact, we're watching our crime numbers go down.' Key Background Trump proposed the federal government's takeover of Washington, D.C., multiple times during his presidential campaign last year. He met with Mayor Muriel Bowser at his Mar-a-Lago property in December, during which Bowser said the pair discussed 'shared priorities.' Bowser has not directly addressed Trump's false claims of violent crime rates rising in the city, though she said in February that Washington, D.C. was a 'world-class city' and noted the city holds a AAA bond rating from Moody's and that violent crime was at a 30-year low. Bowser and Trump previously clashed in 2020, when Trump deployed the National Guard to the city as protests enveloped the city and others in the wake of George Floyd's murder. Are Federal Law Enforcement Agents Already Operating In D.c.? About 450 federal law enforcement agents were already deployed in D.C. and making arrests, FOX 5 DC reported. Law enforcement has not released official numbers for arrests. However, they reportedly include an individual detained for carrying a handgun without a license, a person driving on a suspended license and people riding dirt bikes in a park. Three guns were seized, including one that was stolen. 'We are not experiencing a crime spike. We do know that this task force has been focused on quality of life issues,' Bowser said Sunday. After reviewing the reported arrests, the mayor said 'that sounds like a typical MPD rundown of arrests that I review on a daily basis.'

Inglewood residents shaken as bomb squad continues investigation inside apartment complex
Some Inglewood residents are living on edge as bomb squad investigators continue to scour an apartment complex where many felt what they could only describe as an explosion on Sunday afternoon. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department bomb squad investigators and Inglewood police have been at the complex, located in the 600 block of S. Grevillea Avenue, since around noon, when residents reported hearing a bomb go off. "It sounded like a bomb, sounded like a bomb went off," said Brian Duran, who lives at the complex. He says that police and firefighters responded to the scene quickly. "It was extremely loud, so we though maybe a transformer blew. Maybe somebody let off, you know, an M80 or something," Duran said. "We came out, looked around. We saw people gathering around, but we didn't, nobody knew actually what happened." Residents are still unsure exactly what they felt and heard, and bomb squad investigators remained on scene well into Sunday night. They could be seen focusing on one second floor unit. Inglewood Mayor James Butts says that two days ago, someone banged on the resident's door and demanded money. She denied their demands. Authorities tell CBS News Los Angeles that they suspect she has a family member that owes someone money. No one was injured in the blast and Butts says that no one was home at the time of the explosion. Footage from the scene showed that there was some damage to the apartment's door, which was hanging on one hinge. The unit next door also appeared to suffer some impact, with a window screen hanging from its frame. Neighbors are uneasy heading into the night, waiting for some concrete information from authorities. "It's scary that that could even happen here, close to home," said Michelle Taber, who also lives in Inglewood. Despite the investigators still milling about the complex late Sunday, residents were able to come and go as they pleased and no roads in the area were closed for their investigation.
