- A vehicle driven by a federal immigration agent appeared to strike a pedestrian in a Woodland neighborhood Tuesday morning near Locust and Clover streets, prompting an active investigation by the Woodland Police Department. Video of the Woodland incident shows a black SUV braking and veering left before a person near the front of the vehicle tumbled to the pavement, as observers blew whistles to warn of approaching agents, according to footage. U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, said local law enforcement informed him “that ICE was operating the vehicle in question” and called for greater transparency and accountability, in a statement condemning the agency’s actions.
- A Southern California immigration business, the North American Immigration Center in Chino, was seized Oct. 2 under a court order after allegations it practiced law without a license and overcharged a client $6,000, as announced by the California State Bar. State Bar investigators confiscated 14 boxes of client files, three USB drives and two computers from the business, which was incorporated in 2018 by Wendy Dong, also known as Christine Dunn and Wenli Dunn, per court documents filed in San Bernardino County Superior Court.
- California ranked as the most energy-efficient state in the nation, with the lowest residential energy consumption per capita and residents driving an average of just 8,297 miles per year, in a WalletHub analysis of 48 contiguous states. South Carolina, Alabama and West Virginia landed at the bottom of the energy-efficiency rankings, which measured home and auto consumption to score each state, based on WalletHub’s methodology.
