White House says 330 immigrants arrested in L.A. since Friday
The White House said on Wednesday that 330 immigrants have been arrested in Los Angeles since Friday. 'Since June 6, there have been 330 illegal aliens that have been arrested as part of these riots in Los Angeles,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a Wednesday briefing. 'One-hundred and thirteen of those illegal aliens had prior criminal convictions, she added. The Trump administration has taken a hardline stance on immigration during its first few months, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests topping 100,000 under President Trump this year, per a White House spokesperson. 'There's been 157 people arrested for assault and obstruction-related charges,' Leavitt said during the Wednesday briefing. Trump deployed thousands of National Guard soldiers in Los Angeles over the weekend to quell expanding demonstrations in the city. Protestors were pushing back on local ICE raids that came amid the administration's crackdown on immigration. 'If our troops didn't go into Los Angeles, it would be burning to the ground right now, just like so much of their housing burned to the ground,' Trump said on Truth Social on Wednesday. On Wednesday, federal prosecutors announced charges against two men accused of possessing Molotov cocktails amid recent Los Angeles protests in response to immigration raids. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said Tuesday there were over 100 arrests Monday night amid recent protests, with 96 people arrested over 'Failure to Disperse.'

2 healthcare workers accused of elder abuse after woman, 92, found with broken bones
DENVER (KDVR) — Two women are accused of elder abuse after a patient at a local health care center sustained injuries, including a broken leg. A detective was called to Sky Ridge Medical Center on May 9 after a report of elder abuse against a 92-year-old woman who suffers from severe dementia, according to a press release from the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office. FOX31 Newsletters: Sign up to get breaking news sent to your inbox The woman was taken to the hospital in an ambulance from Orchard Park Health Care Center, and hospital employees noticed that she had broken bones in her leg, according to the sheriff's office. The employees told a detective that the serious bodily injuries were not consistent with the injuries stated in the report from Orchard Park Health Care Center. According to the sheriff's office, the report from the health care center said that the woman was found sitting in her wheelchair, 'screaming for help in terrible pain,' and that no one saw her fall or knew what happened. During the weeks-long investigation, the sheriff's office said investigators learned that two employees at the health care center were lying about how the woman obtained her injuries. One of the suspects, identified as Certified Nursing Assistant Patience Jackson, 35, was arrested at her home. The other suspect, identified as Zainab Namale, 34, is in Miami and was given 24 hours to turn herself in. Both are facing charges of criminal negligence, crimes against an at risk person and complicity. 'In addition, investigators say both suspects were complicit in their actions to hide the truth of what happened to the victim,' the sheriff's office wrote. Detectives believe that the woman was injured on May 8 and that the injuries were a result of criminal negligence, which is a crime against an at-risk person. 'The story that Orchard Park gave us could not have happened this way, to break the leg like this,' said Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office Detective Eric Van Cleave. 'She is more pigeon-toed, if you will, it would have to be some kind of twisting motion; somebody pulling her leg, trying to straighten her legs out, somebody might have gotten rough with her. We don't think she fell from what the injuries look like; again, this is what doctors are telling me in my interview. Whatever happened to her inside the facility at Orchard Park was egregious.' Free on Your TV • New FOX31+ App for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV According to arrest affidavits obtained by FOX31, detectives first began investigating the case on May 10 and were told fairly quickly that the patient had a 'spiral fracture' that was not consistent with the injuries stated in the nursing home report. The detective then went to Orchard Healthcare Center to speak with staff about the incident. He noted that several employees were visibly nervous about his visit, and was given a cellphone with the CEO on the line. The detective said that the CEO was also audibly nervous, and 'spoke so fast that I was unable to understand his name or what he was saying.' After the phone call, the detective sat down with the director of nursing and the charge nurse. They also appeared visibly and verbally nervous, according to the arrest affidavits. The director of nursing said that the victim was 'found by staff in her room, half in and half out of her wheelchair, screaming in pain.' The staff members said that two staff nurses placed a 'gate' belt, or transfer belt, which is used to help nurses support patients with mobility issues when they are walking or transferring locations. The nurses told the detective that the victim 'planted her feet' while being moved, and the nursing director said this is how they believe the patient was injured, but they weren't sure, according to the affidavit. The detective returned to the hospital, according to the arrest affidavit, and spoke with a surgeon who operated on the victim. 'He stated that the break was not a spiral fracture, and the TIB/FIB was broken in two places,' the arrest affidavit stated. The detective reported that the surgeon said that the events described by the director of nursing 'did not match the type of injury the victim had, and that there was no way the injury happened while the victim was in a wheelchair.' The arrest affidavit said the surgeon called it a clean break of the tibia and fibula. According to the arrest affidavit, Patience Jackson was the first person who heard the victim screaming in her room. She told the detective that she ran into the room and saw the victim halfway in her wheelchair and sitting next to her bed with the bed remote control in her hand. She told the detective that she grabbed the bed remote and went for help, finding Zainab Namale, and the pair of them returned to the room. 'Once in the room, Zainab took the remote and raised the bed as it was sitting, pressing the victim's legs underneath the bed,' the arrest affidavits state. 'Once the bed was raised they observed something 'poking' out of her left leg but did not know what it was.' The staff took X-rays and transported the victim to Sky Ridge. Later, in a separate interview, the facility's director of nursing said she believed the bed, coupled with the victim holding the remote control, meant she did injure herself. When Sky Ridge medical personnel were asked if the story aligned with the victim's injuries, the personnel said there is 'no plausible way the bed came down with that much force on the victim's legs to create the substantial injury she has.' The staff even provided a demonstration, showing there is ample room between the frame and the floor that would not have caused the injuries exhibited. The family released the following statement regarding the incident: 'As a family, we are heartbroken that Colorado facilities have failed to provide the safety and dignity our elderly family member needed. Our family grieves the reality that safe, respectful elder care is not guaranteed in Colorado.' FOX31 reached out to Orchard Park Health Care Center, which initially said that it has no comment. Later, it provided this statement to FOX31: Orchard Park Health Care Center prides itself on providing safe and high-quality care to its residents through its qualified and caring staff. As a testament to Orchard Park's commitment to its residents and their families, Orchard Park has been recognized as a Five-Star Quality Rated facility by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and has received the Governor's Gold Seal Award by demonstrating excellence over a sustained period. Orchard Park is also certified by the Joint Commission on Accreditation for Health Care Organizations. Orchard Park will not comment on ongoing investigations but has cooperated while providing its residents with the high-quality care they expect and deserve.

California lawmakers condemn violence amid anti-immigration raid protests
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Central Valley lawmakers spoke out against violent protesters as California residents, including those in Bakersfield, continue to protest against immigration enforcement. In a statement released on Wednesday, Assemblywoman Dr. Jasmeet Bains said while Americans have the right to protest forcefully but peacefully, she has no tolerance for 'masked crowds that loot stores and burn the American flag.' Bains went on to criticize politicians who interfere with law enforcement, pointing out President Donald Trump in particular. Protesters gather at downtown Liberty Bell for 2nd time as fear lingers over immigration raids 'A president who pardons felons who assault police officers should have kept his nose out of law enforcement's business,' Bains said in her statement, referring back to the Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump in January. 'I don't want to see another TV interview with Trump, the Governor, or any other politician acting tough,' Bains said. 'Let our law enforcement leaders speak, give them what they need to restore order, and then get out of their way.' Protests against ICE agents and immigration enforcement activities have been roiling through Los Angeles, where Trump recently deployed the National Guard and the Marines in response. While there are no reports of immigration enforcement officers in Kern County as of June 11, a widespread fear took over the community in recent months when a sudden immigration raid in January targeted farm workers and laborers in the community. Since Monday, Bakersfield residents have protested against ICE raids in solidarity with L.A. On Tuesday, Congressman David Valadao announced his joining of a Republican delegation to introduce a resolution formally condemning the riots in L.A. Valadao shared similar words of opposition to violence and vandalism as Bains, but also urged Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to 'restore peace' to California's streets through the resolution. 'Standing for law and order should be common sense, and ICE should continue to prioritize the removal of known criminals from our country,' Valadao said in a press release. Congressman Vince Fong heavily criticized Newsom and the protesters in L.A., calling Newsom's refusal to allow local law enforcement agencies to cooperate with federal agents 'disgraceful.' In an interview with NewsNation, Fong accused Newsom of refusing to protect federal agents and buildings, saying downtown L.A. is 'under siege' due to the protests. Never miss a story: Make your homepage 'You have search warrants that are being issued, approved by judges, arrests are being made on illegal immigrants that have committed heinous crimes, and the governor of California is opposed to that and won't allow the cooperation of state and local law enforcement to work with federal officials? I mean, this is the height of irresponsibility,' Fong said. Fong said he wants to see the 'progressive groups that are hellbent on destroying downtown L.A.' get arrested and be held accountable for damages. 'The number one priority for the government on the federal level, on the state level and on the local level is to protect communities,' Fong said. 'And if the local government and the governor of California won't do it, then someone has to, and the president is stepping up.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
