From leaders reacting to the death of a civil rights icon to a Northern California city scaling back police response, here’s a roundup of stories Sacramento-area readers should catch up on.

- Gov. Gavin Newsom, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas and former President Barack Obama were among those honoring Huerta, the farmworker activist and United Farm Workers co-founder, as California leaders mourned “a giant” who fought for civil rights, labor and immigrant communities until the final months of her life.
- A 59-year-old man surrendered around 10 p.m. Tuesday and was booked into Sacramento County Main Jail on a felony criminal threats charge after an hourslong standoff on the 9400 block of Harbour Point Drive, where he displayed an axe through his apartment windows and yelled at Elk Grove officers.
- Starting Dec. 1, the Sutter County Sheriff’s Office will stop responding to some calls in Live Oak — including DUIs, theft, hit-and-runs without injuries and trespassing — under a reduced one-year contract tied to the city’s budget deficit. Staffing drops to one deputy on 24-hour duty, and the city has purchased an AI-powered platform called Readyly to handle routine non-emergency inquiries.
