Two months ago, Democrats in Congress said they would not give immigration enforcement agencies another cent without reforms to limit the tactics of their officers. But 59 days into a record-long Department of Homeland Security shutdown, that strategy has resulted in none of the policy changes they have demanded, while President Trump's immigration crackdown is still operating at full speed.Thanks to congressional Republicans, who gave Immigration and Customs Enforcement a $75 billion windfall last year with few strings attached — that money has helped insulate ICE from congressional pressure and oversight. And as Congress returns from a two-week recess, top Republicans are making plans to skirt Democrats again to ensure ICE and Customs and Border Protection have funding through the end of Trump's term.
The fight over ICE tactics has been at a standstill for two months, leaving DHS without the regular annual funding that Congress is required to approve for all federal agencies. The lack of funding would typically impact an entire agency. But this shutdown has been different. Unlike airport security employees who worked without pay for weeks, most ICE and Border Patrol operations continued largely unimpaired due to the $75 billion cash infusion from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. That flood of money has also allowed ICE to hire thousands of agents and expand the number of detention center beds, even moving to purchase warehouses to house more detainees.
Two months ago, Democrats in Congress said they would not give immigration enforcement agencies another cent without reforms to limit the tactics of their officers. But 59 days into a record-long Department of Homeland Security shutdown, that strategy has resulted in none of the policy changes they have demanded, while President Trump's immigration crackdown is still operating at full speed. That is thanks to congressional Republicans, who gave Immigration and Customs Enforcement a $75 billion windfall last year with few strings attached — money that has helped insulate ICE from congressional pressure and oversight. And as Congress returns from a two-week recess, top Republicans are making plans to skirt Democrats again to ensure ICE and Customs and Border Protection have funding through the end of Trump's term.
With the South Portico adorned in red, white and blue bunting, the White House's Fourth of July celebration last summer doubled as a signing ceremony for the Republicans passed it by circumventing Democrats with a tool known as budget reconciliation. Trump called the law, which cut taxes, slashed Medicaid and eliminated clean energy tax credits, the'biggest bill of its type in history.' That big bill also included $75 billion in new funding for ICE, on top of the agency's annual funding, which is usually only about $10 billion. The infusion made ICE theDemocrats have used this party-line reconciliation maneuver too, including in 2021 to approve
But Sam Bagenstos, who was general counsel at the White House Office of Management and Budget at the time under President Joe Biden, says this ICE funding is not a collection of targeted funds. Instead, it is more like a blank check. 'Here what we have is just a massive shoveling of cash to an agency with few if any strings,' he says.'I can't think of an example that's anywhere close to that.' The expansive pot of money received renewed scrutiny roughly six months after Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act when immigration officers shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis.
Article I of the Constitution says Congress holds the purse strings — a key check on the executive. 'But if turns out Congress had already taken away its ability to do that by passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which gave ICE enough money that they can say to Congress, 'Yeah, sorry, we don't need to come back to you for money, and there's nothing you can do to us,'' Bagenstos says.

John Sandweg, who served as acting ICE director and acting DHS general counsel during the Obama administration, says having to ask Congress for money every year makes agencies more responsive to concerns or requests for information from lawmakers. 'Having that appropriations mechanism where you have to get up there and defend what you did and how you did it every year — that is a tempering influence on the agency,' he says.'You might get a call from a senior member of the Appropriations Committee. Those calls resulted in a lot more changes.' When Congress gives an agency money, lawmakers usually attach specific guidelines for how that money should be spent. Sandweg says the $75 billion has very few specific guardrails. Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem used some of it to buy two luxury jets and has drawn criticism for awarding a multimillion-dollar ad contract to a firm with ties to her and top aides. ICE has also drawn questions from lawmakers'When you have tens and tens of billions of dollars that can be easily spent with very limited oversight and no fear that you're going to have problems in the next fiscal year with Congress, you have created a real vulnerability to fraud or misconduct,' Sandweg says.some of Noem's spending policies. Democrats say the shutdown fight helped prompt the changes, despite no agreement between Congress and the White House on the list of legislative demands that Democrats are pressing for. 'DHS is still subject to congressional oversight,' a DHS spokesperson wrote in a statement.'The 'misconduct' that needs to be corrected is the Democrats' longest government shutdown in U.S. history.'
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., is depicted on a television next to him as he prepares to do a television interview on April 2 after the Senate passed a Department of Homeland Security funding bill by unanimous consent.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., says by withholding funding, Democrats are going beyond oversight, obstructing a basic responsibility of Congress because regular appropriations bills require 60 votes to overcome the Senate filibuster. 'Obviously the Democrats are stretching it by messing with the appropriations process in a way that was never intended,' Thune told reporters.to fund DHS, except ICE and Border Patrol, but the House has yet to vote on the Senate-passed deal amid pushback from House Republicans. Now top Republicans say they will use that same party-line tool again to fund ICE and Border Patrol for the rest of Trump's term, without having to acquiesce to Democrats' demands for reforms. 'I think we may very well be in a world where these Senate Democrats will never again vote to fund ICE,' Cruz told Fox News.
Bagenstos, now a law and public policy professor at the University of Michigan, sees a different threat as the White House bypasses Congress on funding in all sorts of ways.
And though lawmakers did sign off on giving ICE that $75 billion, Bagenstos says sidestepping the regular funding process is one more way Congress has surrendered power.
Bagenstos says the Constitution's framers gave Congress that appropriations power because they saw the legislative branch as closest to the people. 'They disagreed about almost everything in the construction of our government, but one thing that people across the board agreed on was that the legislature should have the power of the purse,' he says.'If Congress doesn't stand up, I don't see why every executive in the future isn't going to follow some playbook like this,' he says.
The project, known as Centro Westlake, is expected to be a two-tower complex with hundreds of residential units, including income-restricted housing, along with a hotel, office and retail space.
Produce vendor Lonidas Pinto is optimistic the development could benefit the area by bringing in more foot traffic. “The Centro might compete with us, but I think there will also be more people overall, and they’ll buy more,” Pinto said. “Maybe people will start coming from farther away.”
For over a decade, Ana Vasquez has sold vitamins, creams and other goods out of her well-organized stand at Alvarado and 6th streets, across from MacArthur Park. But business has slowed by more than half, she said, thanks in part to the drop in foot traffic due to the ongoing immigration raids that started last year. So when Vasquez heard about Centro Westlake, a proposed high-rise project above the nearby Metro station, she was apprehensive. “What happens to my business will depend on the kinds of businesses that open in the Centro and their prices. Here, with street vendors, prices are negotiable,” Vasquez said. “The Centro opening could really hurt us, rents might go up, making it even harder for me to eventually have my own brick-and-mortar.” The project will include a two-tower complex with hundreds of residential units, including income-restricted housing. The site will also include a hotel, office, retail and medical space, designated parking and a a 55-story and 39-story towers.
The developer and the architecture firm behind the project, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, did not respond to requests for more information on the timeline, including when construction could begin or an estimated completion date.
Produce vendor Lonidas Pinto is optimistic the development could benefit the area by bringing in more foot traffic. “The Centro might compete with us, but I think there will also be more people overall, and they’ll buy more,” Pinto said. “Maybe people will start coming from farther away.” Centro Westlake is expected to transform the blocks surrounding the Westlake/MacArthur Park station, bringing a dense mix of housing, offices and retail directly atop one of the area’s busiest transit hubs., and feedback from March 2023 shows the project has been shaped, in part, by what residents said they wanted to see: safer streets, more open and usable public space, and stronger connections to the Metro station. Design updates focused on improving pedestrian access from multiple sides of the site and reworking the station plaza to include seating, lighting and active uses, with the goal of making the area feel more accessible and less congested. Community input also emphasized the need for economic opportunities and resources that reflect the neighborhood. In response, updated plans for the site now highlight space for local vendors and small businesses, along with programming tied to arts, culture and community services. The development would span nearly 150,000 square feet, bordered by Wilshire Boulevard, Alvarado Street, Westlake Avenue and 7th Street, according to renderings presented to the public. The transit village is expected to generate more than 700 on-site jobs — including positions in hotel, parking, security, office and retail operations, according to a 2002
According to the developer, about 20% of the retail space would be set aside for existing local businesses. A few blocks away from the subway station, sits Doña Bibi’s, a neighborhood staple known for its Honduran-style dishes, like baleadas, which are handmade flour tortillas with refried beans, sour cream and cheese. The restaurant has been serving customers in the neighborhood since 1997. Mednik Sandoval, whose family owns the restaurant, said a project like Centro Westlake could help the neighborhood by bringing in more residents and businesses, while contributing to efforts to clean up nearby streets and reduce encampments. “If it’s going to be residential and commercial, it helps the neighborhood, it would mean more people moving in, more people going up and down the streets, more businesses opening,” Sandoval said. At the same time, he said any decision to relocate the nearly three-decade-old restaurant would depend on cost, but that it’s something he and the other owners would consider if the opportunity made sense. “If the prices are better, they might consider it,” he said. Still, he’s unsure if the business would be willing to relocate. Near MacArthur Park is Aardvark Letterpress, a family-run print shop that has been in Westlake since 1968. The shop specializes in traditional letterpress printing, using heavy, decades-old machinery.“We’re a very specialized business with heavy machinery that really requires the ground floor. It’s not stuff you can just move into an office building,” Ocon said. The Centro Westlake project follows a previous proposal from the same developer. That project received city approval nearly a decade ago for a high-rise just one block east along Wilshire Boulevard: a project that has yet to break ground.
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down Colorado’s conversion therapy ban, endangering California’s law. State lawmakers believe there is a “path forward” despite the court’s ruling.
California lawmakers are advancing a new strategy to discourage efforts to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Colorado law banning the practice. The strategy: Extend the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims., a Democrat from San Francisco, would increase the time period during which someone could file a malpractice suit against a mental health professional for trying to change their sexual orientation or gender and harming them in the process. Depending on the age of the person who files the claim, the bill would increase the statute of limitations from three years to 22 years or within five years of discovering the harm.
California lawmakers are advancing a new strategy to discourage efforts to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Colorado law banning the practice. The strategy: Extend the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims., a Democrat from San Francisco, would increase the time period during which someone could file a malpractice suit against a mental health professional for trying to change their sexual orientation or gender and harming them in the process. Depending on the age of the person who files the claim, the bill would increase the statute of limitations from three years to 22 years or within five years of discovering the harm. “You can't change someone who is LGBTQ into not being LGBTQ. All major medical associations agree that sexual orientation and gender identity are immutable characteristics, and that so-called conversion therapy is fraud that harms patients,” Wiener said during a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Wiener likened the change to a similar move by the Legislature to extend the statute of limitations for victims of child sexual assault.
California was the first state to ban using the practice on children in 2012, and many states followed suit. But last month, the Supreme Court sent a case contesting Colorado’s conversion therapy ban on First Amendment grounds back to the lower courts. In an 8-to-1, the justices sided with Kaley Chiles, a Christian therapist who argued the law violated her free speech rights because it allowed her to “affirm” a client’s sexual orientation but prevented her from speaking about changing their orientation for clients who have that goal. The opinion did not rule directly on the constitutionality of Colorado’s conversion therapy ban, but Justice Neil Gorsuch implied in the majority opinion that Colorado’s ban would fail the “strict scrutiny” test required of laws that regulate speech. “What this decision is essentially saying is that it doesn’t matter that states have an interest in regulating the quality of care for their patients. Her right to express herself doesn’t stop when she steps into her office and practices her profession that is licensed by the state” said Elana Redfield, an attorney and federal policy director at UCLA’s Williams Institute, which researches LGBTQ legal issues.
The decision endangers California’s law as well as dozens of similar laws in other states, but Shannon Minter, legal director for the National Center for LGBTQ Rights, said the court’s decision gives him some hope. Because almost all medical organizations have disavowed conversion therapy, attempting it would still be considered malpractice even if state bans are no longer in effect. “After having some time to digest the opinion and read it carefully, it seems there is a very clear path forward, and at the end of the day paradoxically we’ll be in a much stronger legal position in terms of these protections,” Minter said. In the majority opinion, Justice Gorsuch differentiated malpractice laws from bans stating that they allow “breathing room for protected speech.” In California, a patient can sue a medical provider for damages if they believe they were injured by the provider’s negligent behavior. These types of cases require expert witnesses to testify about the accepted standard of medical care and also place the burden of proof on the patient. The remaining obstacle, Minter said, is time. Many LGBTQ individuals don’t realize the harm until years later, well past the existing statute of limitations. Wiener’s proposal would solve that problem and help deter state-licensed therapists from engaging in the practice in the first place, he said. “One of the unique ways conversion therapy harms young people in particular is it encourages them to blame themselves for the therapy failing,” Minter said. “Almost that someone comes to us or another attorney realizing that it is not their fault, it’s too late. That has happened with us time and time again.”
Opponents of the measure say it’s a clear effort to circumvent the Supreme Court’s decision, which will likely prevent states like California from enforcing conversion therapy bans. “If they can’t ban the counseling, they’ll bankrupt the counselors who do it,” said Greg Burt, vice president of the California Family Council, a Fresno-based Christian advocacy group. Burt argued the Supreme Court was clear in ruling that a therapist’s speech during a client’s session is constitutionally protected and that Wiener’s measure, if passed, would face the same legal challenges since it would still effectively suppress speech. Burt acknowledged that counseling is “pointless” if the client doesn’t agree with the goals of the therapy, but said some Christians may feel same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria but still want to live according to their faith. “I would hope people can pick their own goals in counseling and it would protect anybody. Why is the government involved in which goals we have for our life regarding sexuality and gender identity,” Burt said. The bill is also opposed by California Baptists for Biblical Values and other groups that have historically opposed state efforts to shore up protections for transgender youth.
For years, she has counseled children from religious families who want to align their identities with their faith; the ban, she said, never got in the way of her work. She and another Christian psychologist developed a clinical method to help religious LGBTQ youth explore identity without coercive practices. The key distinction in her practice, Sadusky said, is that she never promises a predetermined outcome. Clients make their own choices about how to live — some pursue same-sex relationships, some do not, some transition, some don't. “The focus is on, how do I resolve value conflicts that come up for me when I have conflicts between different aspects of my identity, not how do I change my identity as such,” Sadusky said. She’s worried now that the Supreme Court’s decision will “wreak havoc on the credibility of therapy” as a clinical practice. “The most troubling part to me was the framing of talk therapy as merely protected free speech, given that talk therapy incorporates treatment modalities or ought to, and isn't merely telling a person what you believe about their life or what you recommend to them,” she said. Some legal scholars agree. Redfield with UCLA’s Williams Institute said the court’s decision could have widespread impacts on the medical field. “All patients should be concerned because this undermines our ability to trust doctors. And it places the burden on consumers to bring a lawsuit,” Redfield said.

If you catch yourself at the airport once system demonstration begins, you will see empty People Mover cars traversing the 2.2-mile tracks on the same schedule the train will use when it opens.
The contractor building the LAX Automated People Mover will soon initiate a simulation of how the train will operate when it begins shuttling travelers between airport terminals and the L.A. Metro system. Meanwhile, rhetoric has heated up between the city and its contractor over a dispute that began last year about faulty electrical equipment.
The testing milestone that is slated to begin the week of April 20 is designed to assess the reliability of the train. “It’s a big milestone for the project, and a visible milestone,” said Jake Adams, an airport executive who is overseeing $5.5 billion in LAX upgrades.
In November, LAist reported on a dispute over the repair of equipment in a metering cabinet. That work required power to be partially shut down between February and July 2025, temporarily delaying critical testing of the technology that allows for central control of the people mover’s systems. Though the technical issue has been resolved, the contractual dispute remains open.
Adams did not commit to a date for when the train will open to the public. The next phase of testing is estimated to take 60 days, and there are follow-up steps. That means the train likely won't be open before the World Cup.

If you catch yourself at the airport once this phase of testing begins the week of April 20, you'll see empty cars traversing the 2.25-mile-long tracks on the same 24/7 schedule the train will use when it opens. “It’s a big milestone for the project, and a visible milestone,” said Jake Adams, an airport executive who is overseeing $5.5 billion in LAX upgrades, including the people mover. Meanwhile, Los Angeles World Airports, the city agency that manages LAX, and its contractor for the people mover have escalated their rhetoric over a dispute
Adams said he’s “fairly optimistic” that the dispute can be resolved separately from opening the train to the public, even if it intensifies into a legal battle. Considering the projected timeline for this next phase of testing, the train likely won’t be open in time for the World Cup in June, which was

The testing milestone that is slated to begin the week of April 20 is designed to assess the reliability of the train. “The requirement is that to operate it for 30 consecutive days without a hiccup,” Adams said of the testing phase known as “system demonstration.” What a “hiccup” could look like ranges, Adams said. An example of a major issue that could restart that 30-day clock is if one of the train cars breaks down. A more minor one would be if a train door fails to open at a platform. Adams said the process is likely to take a total of 60 days based on conversations with other airports that have developed similar people mover systems.
In November, LAist reported on a dispute over repairs to equipment in a metering cabinet. That work required power to be partially shut down between February and July 2025, temporarily delaying critical testing of the technology that allows for central control of the people mover’s systems. Though the technical issue has been resolved, the contractual dispute remains open. LINXS, the group of companies contracted to design, build and operate the train, has taken the position that the repair work isn’t included in its scope of work. Los Angeles World Airports disagrees. As of October, LINXS said the extra work cost $36 million, according to a document detailing LINXS’ claim that LAist received through a public records request. The contractor group in December filed a claim under a section of state law that governs complaints against public entities. The L.A. City Attorney's Office rejected the claim in January, initiating a six-month window within which LINXS can sue the city. “We will not comment on active disputes,” a spokesperson for LINXS said in an email when LAist reached out about the issue last month. In January 2026, when there was concern that the technical issue with the metering cabinet was reoccurring, LAX officials directed LINXS to investigate the issue. The contractor group initially refused to do so. William Dachs, CEO of LINXS, said in a letter to the city in January that “failure to resolve this … will ultimately lead to contract termination this coming fall, resulting in the City of Los Angeles having to repay the Lenders’ Liabilities which, at this early stage, is estimated to be over $1.1 Billion.”
LINXS stands for LAX Integrated Express Solutions. It is the name of the group that formed in 2018 to design, build and operate the Automated People Mover. It’s made up of four large engineering and construction companies: Fluor, Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Flatiron West and Dragados. Ultimately, a joint investigation found the concerns about the reoccurring issues were unfounded. Still, the episode reflects how uniquely contentious the dispute is. Whereas past disputes between LINXS and the airport were resolved through settlements that have so far totaled hundreds of millions of dollars and resulted in schedule extensions, the dispute over maintaining electrical equipment is the one that has gotten closest to potential litigation. “Other relief events that we’ve dealt with up to this point … we could agree there were some things that were not totally within LINXS’ control,” Adams said. “This relief event is very different. We believe there is absolutely no merit to this claim.”
with one subcontractor accusing LINXS of “secretive, deceptive and improper conduct” and neglecting to pass settlement money down to subcontractors. An L.A. County Civil Grand Jury report released last year claimed that LINXS has used the dispute resolution process and “political pressures,” such as L.A.’s status as host city for several upcoming mega-events,
There are still a few more steps to complete once the system demonstration is successful, including resolving a dispute involving damage to the sprinkler systems that water plants along roads near the airport. Those roads received new landscaping as part of the project. “LINXS is taking a very contractual position that they have to complete all of the work that's in their contract before they can open the train,” Adams said. “We are taking the position that the irrigation absolutely has nothing to do with operating the train.” Adams characterized the conversations to “decouple” the sprinklers from the actual train itself as “active.” The final steps include getting approval from the California Public Utilities Commission and testing the train with volunteers.
Pope Leo XIV said he is undeterred by criticism from President Donald Trump and will continue speaking out against war, emphasizing peace, dialogue and cooperation between nations.
The remarks come amid escalating tensions between the Vatican and Washington over the Iran conflict. Speaking at a worldwide peace vigil at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City on Saturday, Pope Leo warned against what he described as a'delusion of omnipotence' driving global instability, urging world leaders to prioritize diplomacy over military escalation. Trump responded sharply the following day, criticizing the pope's leadership and accusing him of being weak on crime and ineffective on foreign policy.
Speaking to reporters on Monday as he began an 11-day tour of Africa, the first American pope stressed that global conflicts are causing immense human suffering and insisted that moral leadership requires advocating for alternatives to violence. The trip is set to be dominated by the deepening rift between the Vatican and Washington, as the pope's calls for peace play out amid an increasingly public and personal clash with Donald Trump — all the more striking given he is the first American to lead the Catholic Church.
LAGOS, Nigeria — Pope Leo XIV said he is undeterred by criticism from President Donald Trump and will continue speaking out against war, emphasizing peace, dialogue and cooperation between nations. Speaking to reporters on Monday as he began an 11-day tour of Africa, the first American pope stressed that global conflicts are causing immense human suffering and insisted that moral leadership requires advocating for alternatives to violence. 'I will continue to speak out loudly against war, looking to promote peace, promoting dialogue and multilateral relationships among states to find just solutions to problems,' he said.'Too many people are suffering in the world today. Too many innocent people are being killed. And I think someone has to stand up and say there's a better way.'
Speaking at a worldwide peace vigil at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City on Saturday, Pope Leo warned against what he described as a'delusion of omnipotence' driving global instability, urging world leaders to prioritize diplomacy over military escalation. Trump responded sharply the following day, criticizing the pope's leadership and accusing him of being weak on crime and ineffective on foreign policy.
'I don't want a Pope who thinks it's OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon,' Trump posted.'I don't want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I'm doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do.'
A Vatican spokesman responded to Trump's social media posts, saying they reflected his'impotence' in the face of the Vatican's criticism of the Iran war. 'When political power turns against a moral voice, it is often because it cannot contain it,' Father Antonio Spadaro, under-secretary of the Vatican's Dicastery of Culture and Education, wrote in a social media post.'… Unable to absorb that voice, power tries to delegitimize it. Yet in doing so, it implicitly acknowledges its weight.'
Trump's rebuke came as three U.S. cardinals chose to speak out against the Iran war in a rare joint television appearance on 'In Catholic teaching, this is not a just war,' Cardinal Robert McElroy, the archbishop of Washington, D.C., told the program.'This is a war of choice. … I think it's embedded in a wider moment in the U.S. that's worrying: We're seeing before us the possibility of war after war after war.'
Despite the attack from President Trump, Pope Leo reiterated that he will continue to speak out'loudly against war,' advocating for dialogue and multilateral solutions. His trip to Africa — which includes stops in Algeria, Angola, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon — is focused on promoting unity, peace and stronger interfaith relationships. The pope opened the journey in Algiers, where he was welcomed by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, marking the first-ever papal visit to the country and underscoring the symbolic importance of engaging with predominantly Muslim nations. But the trip is set to be dominated by the deepening rift between the Vatican and Washington, as the pope's calls for peace play out amid an increasingly public and personal clash with Donald Trump — all the more striking given he is the first American to lead the Catholic Church.
