L.A. Visit By U.S. Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions Sparks Downtown Protest, Arrests
Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions on Tuesday dismissed critics of the Trump administration's immigration policies as open-borders advocates during a speech in downtown Los Angeles that drew hundreds of protesters. “The rhetoric we hear from the other side on the issue, as on many others, has become radicalized,” Sessions said during a speech to a criminal justice organization. “We hear views on television today that are on the lunatic fringe, frankly.” Earlier Tuesday morning, about 150 demonstrators — a mix of interfaith religious leaders and immigrant advocates — gathered outside a downtown federal courthouse, where they held hands and blocked traffic on Spring Street as they prayed.

'Profound Brutality': Man Sentenced To Life In Prison For Girlfriend's Torture-Death
A West Hollywood man was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for killing his live-in girlfriend, whose body was drained of all blood in a crime that a prosecutor said mirrored the script of a graphic novel the defendant co-wrote. The judge cited Blake Leibel's "profound brutality" in handing down the life term. Leibel, 37, was found guilty of first-degree murder, torture and aggravated mayhem for the May 2016 slaying of Iana Kasian, 30, in the condominium they shared.

L.A. City Council OKs New Banking Disclosures Prompted By Wells Fargo Scandal
Banks that do business with the city of Los Angeles will have to tell officials if they are under investigation by regulators and report details of their sales goals under a new rule spurred by the Wells Fargo unauthorized-accounts scandal. The City Council on Tuesday gave preliminary approval to the changes in bank-reporting regulations, with the goal of promoting “responsible consumer banking.” A final vote is expected in the coming weeks. The new rules single out potentially problematic practices that came to light in 2016 when Wells Fargo — the city's main bank — acknowledged creating millions of potentially unauthorized consumer bank accounts and credit cards.
