Glendale terminates ‘divisive' Ice detainee holding contract amid California protests
The California city of Glendale has terminated a contract to house federal immigration detainees, with local officials saying the arrangement had become increasingly 'divisive' within the community. The decision by the Los Angeles county municipality to sever ties with US immigration and customs enforcement (Ice) comes after three days of protests in other parts of the LA area. That included Sunday near the Metropolitan Detention Center, about nine miles from Glendale, where cars were set alight as anti-Ice protesters clashed with law enforcement, including the National Guard. Glendale city officials described the move to cancel the contract, which has been in place since 2007, as a local decision that 'is not politically driven' but is 'rooted in what this city stands for – public safety, local accountability, and trust'. 'The city recognizes that public perception of the Ice contract – no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good – has become divisive,' it said. But the decision also reflects political tension among city and state leadership as well as federal government actions to enforce US immigration laws at the heart of the unrest. Glendale's city leadership said its police department does not and will not enforce federal immigration law, in accordance with a California state statute which prohibits the use of local law enforcement resources for immigration enforcement. 'We remain in full compliance' with California state law, the city said in a statement. 'The Glendale police department has not engaged in immigration enforcement nor will it do so moving forward.' But they acknowledged that ending the agreement with Ice could make it more difficult for families to visit detained relatives and for people held under immigration laws to access legal counsel in other jurisdictions. Glendale is the third largest city within LA county, with a population of about 210,000. It regards itself as 'a progressive community that offers the best in urban-suburban living and is an optimal location for successful businesses large and small'. Glendale's chamber of commerce calls it the 'Jewel City'. In Glendale's statement on Sunday, it said it 'is consistently ranked as one of the safest cities in the nation'. 'That is no accident,' the statement said. 'We cannot allow that trust to be undermined.' According to NBC, 82 people were detained by Ice and housed in the Glendale city jail since January. A city spokesperson told the outlet those detainees spent between six and 12 hours in the jail facility, but they were not fingerprinted or booked. Glendale says the jail only provided a bed, food, water, and medical care to Ice detainees and did not house minors. But under California law, state and local law enforcement are prohibited from allowing federal immigration authorities to use space in their facility. Civil liberties groups have opposed the arrangement. 'Ultimately and effectively, this Glendale contract with Ice is helping the Trump administration carry out its mass deportation agenda that is racist and has abused countless people's constitutional, civil and human rights,' said Andres Kwon, with the American Civil Liberties Union, to NBC. The decision came as protests intensified after the Trump administration deployed national guard troops in Los Angeles on Sunday against the wishes of Gavin Newsom, who has requested that they be removed. 'We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved,' the California governor said in a social media post. 'This is a serious breach of state sovereignty – inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they're actually needed.' Trump said he had directed his administration to 'to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles'. LA police later declared an unlawful assembly, and police chief Jim McDonnell said officers were 'overwhelmed' by the remaining protesters that included regular agitators who show up at demonstrations to cause trouble. The anti-Ice protests also spread to northern California. In San Francisco, 60 people were arrested Sunday night as protesters shattered windows and vandalized buildings, according to the city's mayor, Daniel Lurie, and police. In a statement late Sunday night, Lurie said local officials supported peaceful protest but would not tolerate 'violent and destructive behavior'.

Distracted Yankees star makes throwing error mic'd up on ESPN after vowing to bring 'smoke' vs Red Sox
Jazz Chisholm Jr. was not focusing on just baseball while playing third base for the New York Yankees on Sunday night, as he made a critical throwing error during a mid-game interview. During one of ESPN's mic'd up segments during the third inning of a national broadcast against the rival Red Sox, the ball was hit to the 27-year-old. On what would have been a tough play even if Chisholm was not giving an interview answer, the speedy infielder had to deliver a spinning throwing across the diamond, which ended up way off line for an error. His horrible throw came after Chisholm promised to bring 'smoke' against Boson after Red Sox rookie pitcher Hunter Dobbins said he'd rather retire than suit up in pinstripes. 'I think there should be more trash talk in baseball!!! Anyone agrees!? Anyway free smoke at 7,' Chisholm posted to X hours before the error. Fans took the opportunity to dunk on Chisholm for a bit of karma, or think that ESPN should have been charged with the error, not the Yankees star. "DAMMIT" — Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) June 8, 2025 He made a throwing error during a mid-game interview on Sunday night during an interview 'Now i know why (Juan) soto didin't want to wear the mic during the subway series,' one MLB fan said on social media. 'Stop the interviews. It's so distracting and selfish by mlb and espn in my opinion,' a second person added. 'This franchise used to win championships,' a third continued. 'If you wanted attention you could just be good at baseball,' a fourth stated. A collection of social-media messages about Jazz Chisholm's throwing error on ESPN The throwing error did not lead to any scoring from the Red Sox, although Boston came on strong later in the game to win 11-7. Dobbins got the win, allowing only three runs in five innings of work, absorbing any excess smoke from the Bronx. Chisholm did not have a hit in three at bats, but did draw a walk and drive in a run. The teams meet again later this week, with plenty chances for smoke from Chisholm should he choose to dish it out.

Materialists review: This 'captivating' romantic drama explores love and money with 'piercing honesty'
Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal make for a starry love triangle in this exquisite new film from director Celine Song, who previously made the Oscar-nominated Past Lives. If you've seen any of the trailers for Celine Song's Materialists, ignore them. In those previews and on paper, the film seems like a well-cast but stock romantic comedy, with Dakota Johnson as a professional matchmaker torn between a former love (Chris Evans) and a dazzling new possibility (Pedro Pascal). In fact, the film is hardly a romcom at all, but something far more original and captivating: a piercingly honest exploration of love and money and the inevitable connection between the two. (Just ask Jane Austen about the connection between a man with a fortune and the want of a wife.) Song doesn't reinvent the romcom here. She cleverly sidesteps it. Materialists is more akin to her first film, the nuanced Past Lives, than it might seem. As in Past Lives, with its delicate story of a woman whose childhood love from Korea re-enters her happily married New York life, Materialists is exquisitely made, character-driven and talky, with some glittering dialogue. It's the kind of idiosyncratic film a director sometimes gets to do after a great success – Past Lives earned Oscar nominations for Best Picture and Original Screenplay – and Song makes the most of it. Lucy's job as a matchmaker for high-end clients might seem like a strained device, but Song herself briefly had that job before she broke through as a playwright and film-maker. And Lucy is very good at her job, as we see when she cajoles a reluctant bride (Louisa Jacobson) on her wedding day to go through with the marriage. From there the plot follows a romcom trajectory, setting up a choice. At that wedding Lucy meets the groom's rich, handsome brother, Henry (Pascal), and is served a drink by John (Evans), the ex she broke up with after five years, who is still a struggling actor working the wedding as a waiter. A quick flashback shows that they broke up over money. Eating dinner from a food cart on their fifth anniversary was not what Lucy wanted. As always, Song creates great textured backdrops, with the breakup happening on a crowded New York street filled with traffic. In Lucy's new life, her non-negotiable demand is for a rich husband. "Marriage is a business deal and it always has been," she says. That might have come across as harsh and cynical, but Johnson's smooth performance makes Lucy seem refreshingly honest with herself about the life she wants, a reflection of the film's clear-eyed view of how money can make or break a long-term relationship. Pascal makes Henry utterly charming and suggests a layer of vulnerability beneath that charm. He has very little chemistry with Johnson, and whether that's intentional or not the film gets away with it because their characters' bond is based on a shared sense that money and lifestyle matter. "Once you've had your first $400 haircut you can't go back to Supercuts," Henry says, a line that suggests it's improbable Lucy can go back to John. But Song is too smart to make Lucy's decision easy or obvious. Henry doesn't simply check all the boxes for her. He actually listens to her, and they might genuinely fall in love. Maybe she can have love and money. Johnson does have chemistry with Evans, who makes it clear from John's first glance at Lucy that she is the woman he will never get over, whatever happens in the future. They have some lovely, tender moments together, which they realise they have to snap out of – or not. Why recycle a past that didn't work? Song gets comedy from Lucy's clients and their impossible checklist of demands for a mate, from men's height and amount of hair to women's age and fitness. Johnson is so convincing we almost believe Lucy when she tells them, "I promise, you will marry the love of your life." When she finally snaps in exasperation at one of them, she sarcastically says that of course she can deliver their perfect match "because I'm Dr Frankenstein". But there is also drama, when another of Lucy's clients has a date that turns violent. That's a twist you'd never see in a standard, breezy romcom, a sign of how much Song is determined to keep the film tethered to reality. Towards the end, Lucy dances at yet another wedding with one of her suitors to the old standard That's All, the least materialistic love song ever, with its lyric, "I can only give you love that lasts forever." It is the perfect song for a film that questions whether that kind of love can be real or if it's just a fantasy in today's material world. Moving on from its cynical beginning, Materialists takes the long way around to an ending that is decidedly hopeful. It offers an unblinkered, earned romanticism that suits this moment, and bolsters Song's reputation as one of our most astute observers of relationships. Materialists is released in US cinemas on 13 June and UK cinemas on 15 August. ★★★★★ -- If you liked this story sign up for The Essential List newsletter, a handpicked selection of features, videos and can't-miss news, delivered to your inbox twice a week.
