L.A. PEOPLE: KCRW warned te return to normal air flow means 4-5 days of the worst air since the fires. Today, I’m guessing, day 1. Wear a mask. Don’t trust your phone. Instead, check networked sensor sights. (PurpleAir below, or LAUSD air quality.) This will pass, but stay healthy.
Good morning friends in southern CA, here’s today’s air quality…please plan accordingly

"The administrative removal warrant authorizes the ICE officer to arrest the subject, but not to enter into an REP area such as his or her home unless consent to enter is given."
Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left).
