GREGORY K. BOVINO: The voters didn’t ask for custody transfers. They asked for mass deportations, and the numbers aren’t there. One removal per operation, a hundred agents for a single person, and the gap between the promise and the delivery keeps growing.

Tom Homan sounds frustrated, and he directs his frustration at the governor and the mayor, but he really should be looking in the mirror. He’s only deploying ICE to targeted individuals when the problem is well beyond that scope. The voters didn’t ask for custody transfers. They asked for mass deportations, and the numbers aren’t there. One removal per operation, a hundred agents for a single person, and the gap between the promise and the delivery keeps growing. That’s the real story. Not the protests, not the optics. The math.

JAIRO TOMICO: When local government refuses to enforce basic health codes, tax laws, and sidewalk safety, it isn't compassion, it's a surrender of public order.

No health inspections.  No permits.  No taxes.  Welcome to LA's illegal sidewalk economy.  Walk down any major corridor in Los Angeles and you see the exact same thing: unpermitted operations blocking public right of ways, running open grease fires on sidewalks, and dumping waste directly into storm drains.  State and city lawmakers deregulated street vending under the banner of equity.  But in reality they created a parallel, off-the-books economy with zero accountability.  Think about the brick and mortar restaurant owners down the street paying high commercial rent, property taxes, and strict health department inspection fees. They get squeezed by city inspectors for minor infractions while unpermitted operations right outside their front door operate without food safety standards, sales tax collection, or basic health oversight.  When local government refuses to enforce basic health codes, tax laws, and sidewalk safety, it isn't compassion, it's a surrender of public order.
