Eleven were arrested Monday, with seventeen others expected to be taken into custody soon. All defendants are lawful permanent residents, not undocumented immigrants.

The Los Angeles Lakers waived former first‑round pick Dalton Knecht on Monday, two days before the 2026‑27 NBA season opens and the league’s roster deadline. Knecht, selected 17th overall in 2024 from Tennessee, had been on the roster since a failed trade to the Charlotte Hornets in 2025. His production fell to 4.2 points in about 10 minutes per game last season, prompting the team to cut him to make room for Bronny James and Jaden Hardy. Head coach JJ Redick said the team’s needs and fit had changed. Knecht’s contract had two years remaining on a four‑year, $18.4 million rookie deal. The Lakers will open the season Wednesday night at home against the Golden State Warriors.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced new rules to protect motorists from harsh private parking charges. Drivers will receive a guaranteed five‑minute period to decide whether to park and a ten‑minute window to leave without penalty. Charges may be cancelled for vehicle breakdowns, medical emergencies, or honest mistakes such as wrong registration entry. Maximum appeal charges will be capped at twenty pounds, and operators risking non‑compliance may lose access to DVLA data. The changes aim to address the record seventeen million private parking tickets issued in 2025‑2026, which could cost drivers more than four point six million pounds daily.
