In a two-page ruling, Su- perior Court Judge Curtis A. Kin said Los Angeles offi- cials lack the legal authority to carry out a state law that permits the dismantling of abandoned or inoperable RVs in key parts of the state. Assembly Bill 630 allows just two jurisdictions \u2014 Los Angeles and Alameda coun- ties \u2014 to create programs for taking apart and ultimately discarding RVs that are worth up to $4,000, Kin said in Thursday\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n

\u201cAB 630 provides no such authority to the City of Los Angeles,\u201d he wrote. Los Angeles County gov- ernment covers 10 million people. Los Angeles is one of 88 cities within the county. AB 630, and the city\u2019s ef- fort to implement it, had been strongly opposed by advocates for homeless An- gelenos, who said it would make it easier for the city to seize and destroy vehicles that serve as much-needed shelter for the city\u2019s un- housed residents. The state\u2019s vehicle code currently requires that cities and counties sell im- pounded vehicles that are worth more than $500 at auction.<\/p>\n

AB 630, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in October, increased the fi- nancial threshold for L.A. and Alameda counties, al- lowing them to dismantle ve- hicles worth up to $4,000. That, in turn, spares those jurisdictions from going through the more cumber- some process of auctioning off the vehicles, backers of the bill said. An aide to City Atty. Hydee Feldstein Soto de- clined to comment on the judge\u2019s decision, citing \u201cpending litigation.\u201d But City Councilmember Traci Park, who represents coastal neighborhoods, voiced dismay over the deci- sion, calling it \u201canother ex- ample of activist lawsuits impeding our ability to ad- dress urgent public health and safety concerns while City can\u2019t dismantle the RVs of homeless, judge says By David Zahniser [See RVs, B4] One of California\u2019s larger public employee unions is pushing legislation to make remote work a permanent option for state workers as the clock ticks down on Gov.<\/p>\n

MEXICO CITY \u2014 Mexi- can authorities have killed one of the world\u2019s most wanted drug traffickers, Nemesio Rub\u00e9n Oseguera Cervantes, known as \u201cEl Mencho,\u201d founder and leader of the notorious Ja- lisco New Generation cartel, which controls drug smug- gling, extortion, fuel theft and other rackets through- out Mexico. Oseguera, believed to be 59, suffered fatal wounds during a Sunday morning military assault in the town of Tapalpa in Jalisco state, according to the Mexican Defense Ministry.<\/p>\n

He died while being airlifted to Mexi- co City for medical treat- ment along with other cartel associates injured in the raid, the military said. Six other cartel opera- tives were also killed in the operation, the military said, and three soldiers were in- jured. The drug kingpin\u2019s killing also triggered violence. As the news spread, apparent supporters of the late cartel boss set fire to vehicles and blocked roads across west- ern Mexico, prompting fears of escalating chaos in com- ing days and weeks.<\/p>\n

Oseguera\u2019s death is the most significant takedown of a Mexican capo since the 2016 capture of Joaqu\u00edn \u201cEl Chapo\u201d Guzm\u00e1n, the former head of the Sinaloa cartel. El Chapo was extradited to the United States and is serving a life sentence in a U.S. pris- on. The operation comes as Mexican military kills top drug lord \u2018El Mencho,\u2019 known for his brutality, was among world\u2019s most wanted cartel leaders.<\/p>\n

By Patrick J. McDonnell, Kate Linthicum and Keegan Hamilton [See Drug lord, A4] VERONA, Italy \u2014 In fair Verona, L.A., unofficially, takes the torch. While the Olympic flag passed from Italy to France at Sunday\u2019s closing ceremo- ny, handing off the Winter Games from Milan-Cortina to the French Alps, the flame will burn next in L.A. In just over two years, the United States will host the country\u2019s first Summer Games since 1996, welcom- ing an Olympic movement that is surging in popularity but unsteady in a changing world, as the Games return to Los Angeles for the third time.<\/p>\n

The Milan-Cortina Olympics are expected to rake in record TV numbers for NBC. They already pro- duced the most-watched women\u2019s hockey game on record as an average of 5.3 million viewers took in the United States\u2019 thrilling over- time win over Canada. The rivalry game contributed to the largest weekday audi- ence for a Winter Games since 2014 with an average of 26.7 million viewers who also watched U.S. star Alysa Liu win the country\u2019s first Olympic gold medal for women\u2019s singles figure skat- ing in 24 years.<\/p>\n

The smiling 20-year-old with horizontal stripes in her hair became a sensation in Milan just as 41-year-old mother of two Elana Meyers Taylor did in Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo after the five- time Olympian won her first gold medal in bobsled, jump- ing into the arms of her nanny and, through tears, signing to her deaf children, \u201cMommy won.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
