Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle accused of abuse by wife, MLB to investigate
SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants said they are aware of an allegation of abuse made against right-hander Sean Hjelle by his wife and have forwarded the matter to Major League Baseball.
Caroline Hjelle, Sean's wife, posted a video on TikTok Friday night of herself with the former couple's two sons accompanied by a caption that read, 'When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers Day a week after (this video was taken) once I finally found out about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I've been raising two boys alone.' The post was accompanied by a series of hashtags that included #divorce, #cheating and #infidelity.

The matter was forwarded to MLB to be handled under the league's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy.
Giants manager Bob Melvin said Hjelle remains available to pitch in relief.
'Obviously, we're aware of it. He told me about it last night,' Melvin said Saturday morning. 'We've talked to MLB and at this point, it's in their jurisdiction, so we can't comment on it any further.'
Hjelle, 28, has a 4.66 ERA in six games this year.

Sen. Padilla claps back after JD Vance calls him 'Jose': 'He knows my name'
Sen. Alex Padilla blasted the Trump administration Saturday, calling it "petty and unserious" after Vice President JD Vance referred to him as "Jose" during a news conference in Los Angeles the previous day. "He knows my name," Padilla said in an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday morning. Vance visited Los Angeles on Friday for less than five hours after several weeks of federal immigration raids in the city and surrounding areas, sparking protests and backlash from state and local officials. Padilla was thrown into the heated nationwide immigration debate when he was dragged to the ground by federal law enforcement officers and briefly detained when he attempted to ask U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a question during a news conference earlier this month. Vance characterized the move by California's first Latino senator as "political theater" in his remarks. Read more: Arellano: Sen. Alex Padilla's crime? Being Mexican in MAGA America 'I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question, but unfortunately I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn't a theater, and that's all it is,' Vance said. Vance served alongside Padilla in the Senate and is now the president of the upper chamber of Congress. Vance's press secretary, Taylor Van Kirk, told Politico that the vice president misspoke and "must have mixed up two people who have broken the law." Padilla, in his TV interview, said he broke no laws. He suggested the misnaming was intentional — and a reflection of the administration's skewed priorities. "He's the vice president of the United States." Padilla said. "You think he'd take the the situation in Los Angeles more seriously." Padilla said Vance might instead have taken the opportunity to talk to families or employers affected by raids carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Other California Democrats rallied behind Padilla after the misnaming incident. "Calling him 'Jose Padilla' is not an accident," California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a Friday post on the social media platform X. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass highlighted racial undertones in Vance's comments. 'I guess he just looked like anybody to you, but he's not just anybody to us," she said during a press conference on Friday. "He is our senator." Get the L.A. Times Politics newsletter.

LA mayor rails against ‘insulting' Vance visit: A ‘photo-op'
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) called Vice President Vance's remarks 100 percent lies after Vance traveled to Los Angeles on Friday to show support for the Marines deployed during the anti-ICE protests. 'He comes in, he makes all of these statements about what is not happening in LA at all, then insults the senator that he serves with now, as president of the Senate, so it was just disrespectful and it was tough listening to him saying what is going on in our city and it be 100 percent lies,' said Bass. Vance, in front of federal, state and local officials in Los Angeles, justified President Trump's decision to send in the National Guard and Marines to squash anti-immigration protests last week. During his remarks, Vance insinuated that California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Bass were encouraging the protestors and preventing law enforcement from doing their jobs. He referred to the protests as 'riots' and said it was necessary to send the National Guard as the violence was uncontrollable by local law enforcement. The vice president came to LA after a three-judge federal appeals court panel unanimously ruled on Thursday that Trump was allowed to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles. Newsom sued Trump over his use of the National Guard, as he was not consulted prior to their deployment. During Vance's remarks he also misnamed Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), calling him Jose Padilla. 'I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question,' Vance said. 'I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn't a theater.' Padilla was forcibly removed from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) press briefing last week after trying to ask a question. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem claimed the senator did not identify himself. Video footage showed he did identify himself when making remarks. The scene created a scandal among Democrats who fear a normalization of violence against elected officials. 'He knows my name,' Padilla told MSNBC on Saturday. 'Look, sadly, it's just an indicator of how petty and unserious this administration is. But he's the vice president of the United States. You think he'd take the situation in Los Angeles more seriously.' Democratic allies of Padilla say it was done intentionally and accuse the vice president of blatant disrespect.

Buffalo homeless shelter ordered to close, residents protest decision
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Buffalo homeless shelter, which the city says was operating illegally, took to its front lawn Friday to protest an order to close due to a lack of proper permits. Sylvia's House, located on Bailey Avenue near Schiller Park, was ordered to close its new location Thursday after only being open for roughly a week. The order, posted on the front door of the shelter, was issued by the City of Buffalo's Department of Permit and Inspections. The order states that the house is not permitted as a homeless shelter and that an inspection is required. The order to close blindsided the shelter's founder and director, Felicia Cruz, who told WIVB News 4 that she didn't know she had to obtain that permitting and that she's willing to do whatever it takes to keep the doors open so the residents she helps don't have to sleep on the street. 'They're telling us we have to leave with no plan,' Cruz said. 'All of these people are going to be back on the streets. Some of them are wheelchair bound, we have about 23 out of the 65 that have medical issues, wheelchair bound, walkers, things like that. Where are we going to put them?' Dozens of the shelter's residents made up signs and took to the front of the shelter along the highway to protest the city's decision, as they shouted in unison, 'Save our house!' Several residents said if they're forced to leave, they will have nowhere to go and will be forced to sleep on the streets — a harsh reality that has some of the shelter's founders devastated and pleading for the city to work with them to keep their doors open. 'I just want communication,' Cruz said. 'I just want help to see how we can push this along and move forward. Shutting down is not the answer. It's not the solution.' Acting Mayor Chris Scanlon responded to the city's order on Friday, saying it comes down to an issue of safety. 'There's some stuff going on over there that we have to make sure that, first of all, the people in the building are safe. That's one of the major concerns — lack of license, permit, things like that, no inspections. So we don't know whether it's even fully safe for people to be in there,' Scanlon said. 'That's the big issue, as well as some additional activity that's been taking place over there that's negatively impacting the neighborhood.' The Mayor's Office, along with council president Bryan Bollman, issued a lengthy joint statement Friday afternoon following the demonstration outside the shelter, saying they 'illegally begun using the dilapidated former rectory at 1947 Bailey Avenue as a sheltering operation unbeknownst to the city.' Their statement went on to state that shelter staff made 'no attempt' to contact or discuss a potential shelter with the city's Department of Permit & Inspection Services, the Mayor's Office, or Council President Bollman's office as the district representative of the impacted neighborhood. 'Over the past several days, dozens of individuals have been living in unsanitary and hazardous conditions that lack basic life safety protections and are putting these individuals lives in danger and at risk, particularly those with disabilities. This type of living environment is not only illegal, it's unacceptable,' the statement read. 'The Cease Operations Order was issued to protect these vulnerable individuals and to ensure that the quality of life for residents in the neighborhood is not further impacted.' The shelter's leaders and staff say they will stay outside the Bailey Avenue location and protest to keep their doors open until the city forces them to leave.
