In what feels like related news, the LA County Sheriff’s Department website is down.
3 people are dead following an explosion at the LA County Sheriff’s facility in Monterey Park. It appears SEB personnel were handling some kind of explosives when there was a blast, according to ABC7 LA. abc7.com/post/at-least-…
Sheriff Robert Luna telling the Civilian Oversight Commission it was “perfectly logical” to deny members of the Office of Inspector General access to the site of a deputy shooting. This comes a day after the LA Times revealed the department has begun transferring inmates to ICE.
Shame on @kathrynbarger & the COUNTY LAWYERS for their intimidation and removal of two key members of the COC. Tell her that her support of Sheriff violence does NOT go unnoticed! Call her @ 213-974-5555 and visit jlanow.org/CallBarger to see talking points #ProtecttheCOC
The decision to force out Bonner comes after several moves by the county and their lawyers to prevent the COC from DOING THEIR JOB & investigating cases of severe brutality and murders by LASD.
@kathrynbarger and @LASDHQ continue to suppress the Civilian Oversight Commission from holding the Sheriff Department accountable for their brutality. Read LA Times article by @@ConnorASheets to learn more. latimes.com/california/sto…

A Juneteenth Reminder from us—Incarcerated labor and immigrant exploitation are rooted in slavery. Juneteenth celebrates the emancipation of enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865. California voted AGAINST abolishing slavery just 8 months ago. A thread from DPN👇🏾 (1/6)
As abolitionists our collective liberation depends on mutual solidarity. We stand with our communities impacted by anti-immigrant activity and violence. 🕊
LAPD is illegally sharing license plate data with ICE and Border Patrol. Under California law, police agencies are barred from sharing license plate reader data with out-of-state public agencies or federal entities. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/lapd-i…
Thousands of people detained by ICE are actually held in local, publically operated jails These facilities–run by elected sheriffs–are making money off of the incarceration of people who are mostly accused of no more serious offense than crossing the border without permission

ICE raids tried to split LA apart, but might have made it stronger. From coordinating wildfire relief to blocking ICE buses, community organizers say LA County residents keep proving that in a city of strangers, nobody fights alone. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/ice-ra…
Prisons & jails are already inherently harmful, and placing people in solitary confinement can be lethal to their mental health:
