• 3 California Residents Sue ICE Officers Under New ‘No Kings' Law (kqed.org) — A Montebello business owner is one of three California citizens suing federal immigration agents under the state’s new No Kings Act, alleging wrongful arrest and excessive force during a 2025 raid at his family’s car lot.
