• Trump tries to defy the courts

  16-04-2025 17:00 via ocregister.com
  
  There’s so much wrong with the Trump administration’s deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to a Salvadoran super-max prison that it’s hard to know where to begin. But we should start with basic human decency.
  Immigration and Customs Enforcement admits in a sworn statement that it deported the Maryland man because of an error — yet the administration refuses to return him home.
  If the government makes a heinous error, it should take every measure to right the wrong.

• Clippers’ season ends with blowout loss to Nuggets in Game 7

  04-05-2025 04:24 via ocregister.com
  
  DENVER — The way the first-round series between the Clippers and the Denver Nuggets had gone, most expected the teams to produce a tight Game 7, if not another down-to-the-wire thriller.
  After a pressure-cooker performance in Game 6 at the Intuit Dome extended the series to the limit, the Clippers came up well short on Saturday at Ball Arena, losing 120-101 in a game that was far more lopsided than the final score indicated.
  The Nuggets used a dominant second quarter to turn a five-point d

• Atitlan, Hector Berrios get John Shirreffs a win at Santa Anita

  ARCADIA — Trainer John Shirreffs won a big race Saturday, just not the biggest race.
  In the Kentucky Derby, Shirreffs’ 3-year-old Baeza ran well but settled for a close third behind winner Sovereignty and favorite Journalism as the place and show horses gave California fans a thrill.
  Meanwhile, at Santa Anita, Shirreffs’ 4-year-old Atitlan gave the barn a victory, prevailing in a three-way photo finish in the Charles Whittingham Stakes in front of a Derby Day crowd of 15,122.

  PASADENA — Nico Iamaleava was only on the Rose Bowl Stadium’s turf for a few minutes before UCLA football’s spring showcase on Saturday afternoon, but he snagged plenty of attention.
  The Tennessee transfer quarterback stood with his family, including brother Madden Iamaleava, and spoke with UCLA head coach DeShaun Foster before going into the team tunnel just before the showcase began. He waved to the crowd, which occasionally shouted his name, as he exited.

• Angels’ offensive woes deepen amid growing concerns

  04-05-2025 02:53 via ocregister.com
  
  ANAHEIM — Perry Minasian is correct when he says that “good teams, teams that have been playoff teams in the past, go through stretches” like the brutal whiff-a-thon the Angels have been mired in for three weeks.
  But it seemed like a false equivalence for the general manager to use San Diego’s recent four-game losing streak or Atlanta’s season-opening seven-game losing skid compared to the Angels’ recent struggles, as Minasian did this weekend.

  ATLANTA — When Hyeseong Kim decided to leave South Korea and sign with the Dodgers last winter, it wasn’t to play in Oklahoma City.
  But that’s where the 26-year-old Kim has spent the first month of his career in the United States after failing to make the Dodgers’ roster out of spring training. But he got the word after Friday night’s game that he was being promoted to the majors.

  LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Sovereignty outdueled 3-1 favorite Journalism down the stretch to win the 151st Kentucky Derby in the slop on Saturday.

  This week, United Ways of California released the latest Real Cost Measure in California report, offering a clear look at what it actually costs to live in our communities. Unlike the federal poverty measure, which has often been criticized for being outdated, the Real Cost Measure looks at the true costs of housing, childcare, food, transportation, healthcare, and taxes. The findings are eye-opening and confirm what many people have been feeling for a long time.

• How to save the LA28 Olympics from the incompetence of Los Angeles leaders

  I went to the Olympics in 1984 – not as an athlete nor a reporter but as a volunteer at the Olympic Village on the campus of UCLA. Just 16 years old, I swelled with pride at the chance to participate in this global celebration of unity and excellence through competitive sports. As a messenger, simply delivering envelopes and packages, I still felt part of the grand event. Meticulously planned and flawlessly executed, the 1984 Olympics remains the gold standard, notably achieving a small pr

• Memo to California’s Democratic lawmakers: Soliciting minors should be a felony

  Why are California’s Democratic lawmakers so ambivalent about protecting 16- and 17-year-olds from sex trafficking?
  It is the strangest hill to die on, but so many in Sacramento are adamant that this is a tough question, one requiring much pondering.
  This week, Assemblymember Nick Shultz, the Burbank Democrat who chairs the Assembly Public Safety Committee, forced a colleague to strip language out of her bill, AB 379, which would make it an automatic felony to purchase sex from a 16- or 17
