California has banned new for-profit immigrant detention centers. L.A. has opposed new child migrant shelters. The Trump administration is still trying to open both here.

Parents in a tight-knit Downey school community were outraged when their children came home with an assignment that they saw as an example of "old school prejudice and racism."

The fate of some 700,000 young immigrants hangs in the balance as the high court considers whether the Trump administration may end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Proposition 187 won the vote in 1994. But the reaction to it was a victory for Latinos and progressives in California.

Sending a beautiful bouquet of flowers to someone in an immigrant detention center is nearly impossible, unless you use your imagination.
