Trump’s sanctuary city threat triggers confusion, changes SOPHIA TAREEN Associated Press

From defiant lawsuits to reversing policies, U.S. cities and counties are zeroing in on their immigration rules to avoid losing millions in public safety dollars that the White House has threatened to withhold amid a high-stakes clash over sanctuary policies. President Donald Trump has made it a top priority to revoke federal dollars from so-called sanctuary cities, broadly defined as places that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

Trump says he believes such cities and counties are providing a haven for criminal activity. Amid an executive order and almost weekly threats by the administration, cities and counties are fighting back. At least seven cities and counties are suing, and California became the first state to join the legal fray on Monday. Leaders in Baltimore and the Las Vegas area have been trying to prove to the federal government that they don’t have sanctuary policies so they can SEE TRUMP PAGE 7

No vote but lots of discussion for Zoning Ordinance updates HANNAH JANNOL Daily Press Intern

There were 33 items up for discussion at the Aug. 2 Planning Commission meeting and while there was plenty to talk about, nothing was actually up for a vote yet. The Commission held preliminary discussions on policy issues that have arisen since adopting the Zoning Ordinance in 2015. Many of the items presented by Principal Planner Tony Kim were minor clerical changes, but some items spurred debate among

the Planning Commission. The commission was asked to reconsider the limit on skylights, currently at a maximum of 12” above the roof, to be five feet. Staff said the recommendation came from the public. Commissioner Leslie Lambert had no problem with the update. However, Commissioner Nina Fresco said she was not comfortable with a 5 foot maximum. “This is not downtown,” she said. Commissioner Richard Mckinnon said 12 inches is restrictive.

“If we’re looking at energy efficiency, we need to go above 12 inches. It could be 30 inches, I’m not sure what the right level is but I’m open to the change,” he added. The new skylight limit would apply to all buildings. The commissioners also looked at affordability levels for Tier 2 projects. Commissioner Lambert said the city had overproduced at the extremely low income level proposed that the commission look SEE ZONING PAGE 5

Los Angeles begins enforcing new parking law

FREE Information Kit

Los Angeles residents used to parking their cars on the grassy strip between the curb and the sidewalk will have to break the habit or risk getting a ticket. Starting Monday the city is enforcing a new law that says it’s illegal to leave vehicles on so-called parkways or berms. The practice has been common in densely populated neighborhoods but the City Council in June decided to ban it. Parking officers had been placing warning fliers under drivers’ windshields since July. Now they are issuing tickets.

LA County to pay $1.5M to settle wrongful-death suit Los Angeles County will pay $1.5 million to the family of a 21-year-old man fatally shot in his car by a sheriff’s deputy two years ago. County supervisors approved the payment last week to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit brought by the family of Nephi Arreguin. The suit claims he was unarmed and not a threat and that Deputy Edward Fitzgerald excessive force on him. Arreguin was shot while deputies responded to a report of a suspicious person in Cerritos in May 2015. Attorneys for the county said Fitzgerald opened fire after Arreguin disobeyed orders and drove at him. County officials declined to comment on the settlement. The Los Angeles Times reports Monday that Fitzgerald is still with the department.

Mom calls Los Angeles police after toddler found wandering Authorities say after a toddler was found wandering a Los Angeles neighborhood, the child’s mother contacted police and said she’d left her daughter with a baby-sitter while she went to work. Sgt. Ron Fisher says the 3-year-old wearing pajamas was found late Sunday along a street in the Van Nuys area. The girl told police she came out to play while everyone in her home slept. Officers drove the child around in the hopes that she’d recognize her house, but eventually brought her to a police station. Officials early Monday said the girl’s mother, who works the night shift, contacted police and said the child apparently walked away unnoticed by her baby-sitter. The child was turned over to the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services while authorities investigate. — ASSOCIATED PRESS

But not always timely. The Civil War ended 252 years ago, yet we are still fighting the culture war that was underlying it. Last week I wrote about a movie that showcased the lynching of Frank Embree. This week the headlines are screaming about the white supremacists who rallied in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the death of a non-violent protester who was run down by some young man in a car. The Civil war ended with the surrender of the Confederacy, but not all hearts and minds were changed at the conclusion of the “war of Northern aggression” as many still refer to it. Here we are, 252 years later, and there are still those who would gladly return to the days of slavery. A crowd of mostly young, mostly male, all white thugs decided to rally against blacks, Jews and gays this weekend. The exhibition of the Confederate flag and the Nazi Flag was a painful sight for many. We cannot, pardon the phrase, whitewash, history. It is what it is. America has to accept its dark days of slavery and we do need to address the wrongs that were, and still are, perpetrated. We need to teach our youth far better than we have, the value of knowing history and why wars were fought, why people died, and how to judge a person’s true worth by their character, not their skin color. One they have control over, one they don’t. It makes as much sense to judge someone based on their skin as their height, no one can control their height – it’s an objective fact and not suitable for determining any character traits. I’ve written before about the young men at my gym who are rabid Trump supporters because “he wants to deal with the Muslim problem.” These young men, Jewish boys who live mere blocks from the Museum of Tolerance see nothing wrong with making Muslims wear badges or identifying them in some way. My immediate reaction was of revulsion, contempt and dismissiveness of them. But upon reflection, I cannot blame them. They are in their 20’s, the age at which we send young men to die with dreams of glory and tales of heroism. We take young men and gin them up into

rabid killers, precisely because they are so easily motivated and brainwashed about “the enemy.” Young men will go to war based on nothing more than a good story, some tales of perceived wrongs and the chance to act out their urges to fight and prove their worth. To make an old man willing to fight you have to really convince him of the justness of the cause, you must get past his life experiences and into a deeper sense of outrage. When I look at these young men, with cocksure attitudes on what is wrong with the world and how to fix it, I see myself at their age, but I also look to their parents who have not taught them well. There is no deep thinking going on, no seeing the similarities to the Holocaust, no understanding that registries and databases, beget yellow stars and pink triangles all too easily. But then they didn’t even know what the pink triangles were for, I had to explain that to them. The pictures out of Charlottesville were shocking, painful, and made me cry. The fact that this blind hatred is still present in my America is disappointing. However, there is one image that should be a Pulitzer Prize winner. It is of the crowd of young white men, carrying their Swastika emblazoned flags and crude handwritten signs of antiSemitic hate walking on the sidewalk, protected by a railing while a black police officer stood facing the camera, assuring that the protesters were safe. This is the image of a true American. I have no idea how that officer felt. There is no indication on his face of his thoughts, feelings and concerns, but I can say that no matter how he felt, that day he was more of an American, than any of the Swastika waving, Old Glory flying white boys, no matter how far back their family genealogy goes. As he stood there, defending those people’s right to state their opinion, no matter how distasteful, he was the guardian of our country. He is a true American.

at the subject in a much broader context. “We discovered with the (Downtown Community Plan) that they have the ears of the council,” she said. “We should put this over again for a more broad discussion on affordability in general.” Commissioner McKinnon agreed and Chair Amy Anderson recommended a joint meeting with the Housing and Planning Commissions. Discussion of item #18 sought to clarify that a nonconforming use may be allowed in a City-Designated Historic Resource, “only if the nonconforming use was the predominant use at the site when it was in operation.” The concern was that the current policy left landmarks “open to abuse.” “We can’t tell people what use they have to do, all we can do is tell them what use they can’t do,” Fresco added. The concern was with wording that takes advantage of the way a space was originally constructed. If a space was originally constructed as a movie theatre and is now in an area where there would not be a movie theatre it could actually incentivize having a movie theatre. Staff said it’s a tricky balance of not wanting to penalize people with legitimate projects in historic districts but also not wanting landmarks to be abused and converted office spaces. Ultimately, the wording is going to be left alone, according to Principal Planner Tony Kim. Item #25 determines whether bike parking should be allowed on the public right-of-way instead of on private property. Commissioner McKinnon said it’s unacceptable to have bike parking on public right of way. “Our job is here to try and improve multimodal ways of transportation,” he added.

Some believed buildings need to provide more bike parking. “I think that especially for buildings trying to retrofit, bike parking is really important,” Commissioner Fresco said. She also added having bikes on the street is enticing. Removing some car parking was discussed, so as to spread bike parking. Ultimately the goal is to encourage buildings to provide bicycle parking on site and discourage public right of way bike parking. “The more we spread the bike parking the more people see it,” Commissioner McKinnon said, hoping for a plan for bike parking that would increase biking in the City where he and other Commissioners said there isn’t enough. Kim also said staff is looking at increasing the size of secondary units on a property, upon suggestion from the Planning Commission. The meeting also examined at which the point in a remodel or expansion of a single family home, should the owner have to bring their parking up to code. As of now, if the addition is more than half the size of the existing house, then parking has to come up to code. But sometimes people have to widen their driveway when there is no room, and end up demolishing their house entirely. The big picture is to encourage keeping older homes and not tearing them down to have more room for parking. Staff is exploring possibly relaxing the standard at which owners have to bring everything up to code, but it requires further discussion. The discussion this month was designed to solicit feedback from the Commission in advance of changes heading to the Council. Kim said he thinks the changes will be brought to Council early next year. editor@smdp.com

successful scholarship and grant “season” by giving away over $33,000 in scholarships to college bound high school seniors from Samohi, St. Monica’s, Crossroads, PAL and Boys and Girls Club of Santa Monica, and to middle and high school SMMUSD musicians, and to Santa Monica College continuing students. We are thrilled to have started a new Visual Arts Scholarship program this year, awarding over $2200 to students for achievement in painting, film, photography and others. Our grants extend over $56,000 to 28 non-profits organizations serving youth and families on the westside. We know that receiving these funds is beneficial, and sometimes crucial, for these young adults and organizations. The money we give to the students helps not only further their academic pursuits but also lets them know that the community values and applauds their efforts; this is why we give. Being able to participate in the process of awarding these scholarships and grants is also extremely fulfilling for our Kiwanis Club of Santa Monica members. We spend months pouring over applications, meeting candidates, making decisions and planning the awards events. This is our favorite “season” of the year! To help support these scholarships and grants we are bringing back the annual Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament! This event has been a community favorite for years, and

this years’ tournament will be the best by far. There will be great food, great prizes for the winners, other games for the non-competitive, and great fun on Saturday, September 16 from 6PM at the Elk’s Club at 1040 Pico in Santa Monica. Please send a quick email to PokerTournament@KiwanisClubSM.org to be on the invite list. Also on September 16, don’t miss the Lion’s Club Pancake Breakfast at the Boys and Girls Club on Lincoln. Many of the Kiwanis members will be there supporting this organization that promotes eye health and diabetes prevention in our community. This fall will be busy with activity including the Kiwanis-sponsored Police Activities League annual Back-to-School backpack give away, the Poker Tournament fundraiser, and our annual Officer Installation on October 1.

qualify for public safety help. Some local governments have sought to comply with the administration’s edicts. The result for cities and counties: growing confusion, budgeting headaches, worries about increased crime and more tension with immigrant residents. And experts expect more lawsuits and turmoil at the local level. “They’re not getting clarity,” said Yucel Ors, a program director for public safety at the National League of Cities. “When you’re planning budgets or there’s an expectation for grants and applications, it becomes very difficult to properly judge what your resource is going to be, especially with law enforcement.” Sanctuary policies have existed for decades. There’s no single definition, but generally local officials enact policies friendly to people living in the U.S. without legal permission, including limiting cooperation with agents in local jails and prohibiting police from asking about immigration status during traffic stops. The nation’s roughly 200 sanctuary cities and counties are now a focal point in the immigration debate with Trump in the White House. Some locales, including Florida’s MiamiDade County, have already changed their immigration policies to comply. Others are considering the same. But the more common tactic among sanctuary cities has been to push back. Several lawsuits have cited constitutional concerns in Trump’s executive order, including three in California filed by Santa Clara County, San Francisco and the city of Richmond. Two of those lawsuits prompted a temporary injunction. Other lawsuits were filed by Seattle and two Boston-area cities. On Monday, the state of California sued over Trump’s sanctuary city restrictions on public safety grants, building on similar federal complaints filed last week, including in Chicago. Chicago targeted new conditions for a grant calling for close cooperation with federal authorities, including access to jails. Chicago, a sanctuary city since the 1980s, calls the changes unconstitutional. Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who was President Barack Obama’s first White House chief of staff, argued Trump’s aggressive stance and rhetoric impedes trust in law enforcement and could prevent immigrants from reporting crimes. “The Trump Justice Department ... is asking the city of Chicago to choose between our core values as a welcoming city and our fundamental principles of community policing,” Emanuel said at a recent news conference. “It is a false choice and a wrong choice. Chicago will not let our police officers become political pawns in a debate.” In response, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions doubled down on his sanctuary cities stance, accusing Chicago of “deliberately and intentionally” adopting rules that obstruct the immigration system.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2017

Nationally, the federal government awarded about $264 million to more than 1,000 different entities last year through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program, also known as Byrne JAG. Chicago’s share was about $2.3 million, including for police cars. The program is named after a New York City officer killed in 1988 while protecting an immigrant witness who’d agreed to testify against drug dealers. The fight has led to chaos in cities and counties that say they’re being inaccurately branded by the administration. Roughly $1 million in Byrne JAG money was in limbo for Nevada’s Clark County until this month. The county submitted a 108-page memo covering the role of Las Vegas police to prove it should continue to receive funds it uses for things like juvenile services. Baltimore city officials were baffled when they received an August letter saying they wouldn’t qualify for a different federal anti-crime program. The city hasn’t formally declared itself a sanctuary city, and city jails are run by the state of Maryland, not the city. Baltimore faces a Friday deadline to prove its case. In New Mexico, Albuquerque received a similar warning. Albuquerque eliminated a sanctuary policy years ago, but city and county officials approved largely symbolic “immigrant friendly” measures this year. The federal warning appeared to target immigrant jail policies in Bernalillo County, where Albuquerque is located. County commissioners debated a plan allowing more cooperation between local and federal immigration authorities, but the Democratmajority board defeated it last week at a meeting well-attended by opponents. Two California cities, Stockton and San Bernardino, were also called out after expressing interest in the Justice Department’s Public Safety Partnership, which enlists federal agents and technology to find crime solutions. They were told they wouldn’t qualify unless they give federal immigration authorities access to jails and notify agents before releasing inmates wanted on immigration violations. Miami-Dade County reversed its policy earlier this year, saying the county would honor “detainers,” or holding people for extra time to be arrested by immigration authorities. Local officials defended the change, saying they wanted to keep receiving federal money for body cameras and community policing. However, the reversal is now the subject of an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit. In New Mexico, concerns linger about possible lost funding opportunities for Albuquerque, which ranks first nationwide for the number of cars stolen daily per capita. Commissioner Wayne Johnson, a Republican, said he introduced the plan to increase cooperation with immigration authorities in response to Trump’s warning. “We have a broken criminal justice system,” said Johnson, who’s running for mayor. “We need to have every tool at our disposal.”

COMMUNITY BRIEFS NEW YORK

Aldi to offer grocery delivery service in 3 US cities Aldi, the no-frills German grocer that’s expanding in the U.S., says it will offer grocery delivery for the first time in three American cities by the end of the month. The company says it has a partnership with Instacart to deliver groceries to customers in Atlanta, Dallas and Los Angeles. Shoppers will be able to order goods on Instacart’s website or app, and Instacart workers will pull the items off the shelf and deliver them. Customers can schedule delivery for that day. Instacart charges a delivery fee, and the company says some items may cost more than they do in Aldi stores. Aldi says it may expand delivery to more cities. The chain, which has about 1,700 U.S. stores, plans to have 2,500 locations by 2022. — ASSOCIATED PRESS

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 15)

smgov.net/GoSaMo

By PETER GALLAGHER

Strange Brew

By JOHN DEERING

The forces of felicity fall in love with your attitude and gumption. You’ll transfer the knowledge you’ve gained from things that didn’t quite hit for you in the past into new ventures with a higher probability of success. See, nothing you’ve done has been a loss. Developments with family will inspire a move or travel in 2018. Cancer and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 1, 7, 12 and 3.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

You know what you’re best at, right? If you’re still stuck on that, here’s a hint: It’s either the opposite of what you’re worst at, or it’s the same thing, just a different facet of it.

People laugh at clowns and people laugh at geniuses. It is sometimes hard to tell the difference between the two, if there is any. Some foolishness is pure folly. Then again, folly is often what leads to the breakthrough.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s said that happiness is a way of traveling. You certainly carry it with you today, a hum of vitality that lends a quickness to your stride, a playfulness to your approach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) You’ll want to make a powerful impression. Go slower. Move less. Be still. People who are still are thought of as poised. Composure shows restraint and confidence.

Agnes

By TONY COCHRAN

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Beware: There are some things (and people) that are very difficult to experience in moderation. You have but the smallest amount and they leave a hunger inside you for more, more, more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It’s so much easier for a relationship to develop if there’s an outside structure, such as church, school or work, that keeps people in contact. Alas, if you like a person enough you’ll invent reasons to get together.

You like giving gifts. It energizes you. So it’s wonderful that today you’ll be so filled with the intent of service that your work won’t feel like a job; rather, it will feel like a gift you’re giving.

Don’t worry so much about what you’re going to say. Your silence, when it is full of supportive, heroic and/or loving intent, is more desirable than beautiful music.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Just when you think there’s nothing new under the sun, the cosmic DJ comes along to mix up what’s already there in such a wondrous way as to make everything seem fresh.

You’ve helped others and now they want to repay you. Maybe you’d prefer they didn’t. Maybe you don’t need repayment. Accept it graciously anyway, as all will feel better when this giving cycle is complete.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Think of everything you want in life as a moving target. The way to reach the goal is not by aiming at it, but by aiming beyond it. And don’t be surprised if you need greater effort, sharper skill and more resources than first calculated.

Before you rush to sign up and learn, consider going at it without training for a while. In fact, maybe you should wait as long as you can to learn the rules. If you don’t know what can or can’t be done, you’ll be creatively free.

Dogs of C-Kennel

Zack Hill Venus and Pluto Tug of War Venus and Pluto struggle through a game of tug of war to remind us that most of the time we achieve by trying. Trying is the bulk of the work. That’s why not trying is such an attractive quality: It only happens in the stages of mastery, when so much skill, knowledge and confidence have been acquired that trying is no longer necessary.
