Newsom responds after court blocks indiscriminate immigration stops in California
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — A federal court on Friday temporarily halted immigration enforcement tactics in several California counties that were challenged as unconstitutional, drawing swift praise from Governor Gavin Newsom. The ruling in Vasquez Perdomo, et al. v. Noem temporarily bars federal immigration agents from conducting suspicionless stops in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties (per The Los Angeles Times)—an approach critics say has led to racial profiling and violations of civil rights. In a statement released by the Governor's Office on Friday, Newsom hailed the decision as a victory for justice and constitutional protections. Worker to be removed from life support after suffering injury during California farm raid 'Justice prevailed today [Friday, July 11] — the court's decision puts a temporary stop to federal immigration officials violating people's rights and racial profiling,' stated the governor. Newsom directly criticized immigration policies tied to White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Stephen Miller, calling his agenda 'one chaos, cruelty and fear.' 'Instead of targeting the most dangerous people, federal officials have been arbitrarily detaining Americans and hardworking people, ripping families apart, and disappearing people into cruel detention to meet outrageous arrest quotas without regard to due process and constitutional rights that protect all of us from cruelty and injustice,' Newsom asserted. 'That should stop now.' The lawsuit alleges that federal agents conducted stops without probable cause, disproportionately targeting Latino communities and violating due process. 'California stands with the law, and the foundation upon which our founding fathers built this country,' declared the Golden State governor. 'I call on the Trump administration to do the same.' The court's temporary block is the latest development in the broader legal battle over immigration enforcement practices in sanctuary jurisdictions like 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Man drowns after saving 2 young boys: ‘His heart was pure gold'
SAN DIEGO (KSWB/KUSI) — Friends are remembering a man who drowned over the weekend after saving two young nephews of his girlfriend who became caught up in the river current during a weekend fishing trip. San Diego native Jeff Brady, 51, was on the Colorado River near the Hidden Shores Resort in Yuma, Ariz., with his girlfriend Elen Ellis, his twin brother Greg, and their loved ones. 'They did it almost every weekend during the summer,' Joann Ripley, a longtime friend of Brady, said. The summer fun quickly turned tragic on Saturday when Ellis' 10- and 12-year-old nephews were swept away by the river's current. 'The boys, they know how to swim and everything, so it's just the current at the river this weekend happened to be pretty strong, and it swept the little one out, and then it just snowballed from there,' Summer Needham, another friend of Brady's, explained. Needham said Brady dove into action immediately, swimming out to the boys to keep them above water until they could get help. While struggling to battle the strong current, Ripley says Greg and his girlfriend, Julie, jumped in after Jeff to help save the boys. 'There was a boat that showed out of nowhere, and they were able to throw the boys on the boat and Julie on the boat, and Greg turned around, and Jeff was gone,' Needham said. Several agencies, including the Yuma County Sheriff's Office, responded to the river, searching for Brady after he was swept under the water. Shortly after 7 p.m., they found him and pronounced him dead on the scene. 'He was a giant of a man, but his heart was pure gold,' Needham said, smiling. Brady, Neeham, and Ripley went to the same high school together and had been friends for decades. 'They were the fun boys to be around,' Ripley said when asked what Brady was like in high school, adding that it wasn't a shock or surprise that he was the one who jumped into the water to save Ellis' nephews. She noted, however, that the shock of Brady's death has been real. 'She's just heartbroken and misses him,' Ripley said of Jeff's girlfriend. 'She wants the one more hug, the one more walk through the door, the one more everything that she's not gonna get anymore.' Even though the friends will miss the hugs, laughs, and fun reunions, they say their proud to know he died a hero. 'We want people to know how amazing he was,' Needham said. 'He went out with his angel wings on.' Needham says she set up a GoFundMe page to support the family after his death. She adds Jeff moved to Yuma two months ago to take care of his dad, who had some medical concerns, and the money will help support him as they mourn Jeff's loss.

UCSD, astronauts test new cancer-fighting drug in space
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Researchers from the University of California, San Diego and Axiom Space astronauts are testing a potential cure for cancer in space. Scientists from UCSD's Sanford Stem Cell Institute are working in collaboration with Axiom Space and the JM Foundation on the research project called Cancer in LEO-3, which aims to test how cancer cells behave in response to radiation and microgravity in low Earth orbit (LEO). Catriona Jamieson, M.D., Ph.D. at the Sanford Stem Cell Clinical Center at UCSD Medical Center in La Jolla, is the primary investigator on the project, in partnership with researcher Jessica Pham. San Diego Scripps scientist competes in Netflix's 'All the Sharks' reality show The study focuses on the anti-cancer drug 'rebecsinib' which was developed by Dr. Jamieson and her lab. Researchers say rebecsinib has the potential to fight 23 different types of cancer. The drug launched into space for further testing aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Axiom Space's Ax-4 mission on Wednesday, June 11. On Axiom Space's previous mission, Ax-3, the new drug acted as a 'kill switch' by stopping the growth of 'ADAR1-expressing breast cancer organoids,' according to researchers. During the current mission, Ax-4, astronauts on the International Space Station will test how rebecsinib affects tumor organoids derived from cancer stem cells related to leukemia, ovarian cancer, metastatic breast cancer and glioblastoma multiforme. The Ax-4 crew includes astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary. According to Axiom Space, the mission marks each nation's first trip to space in over 40 years. Peggy Whitson from the U.S. serves as commander on the Ax-4 mission. She is accompanied by Shubhanshu Shukla, an Indian Air Force pilot, and mission specialists Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski from Poland, and Tibor Kapu from Hungary. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
