Diaz has no criminal history. He’s had DACA protection since 2013. He had his real ID in his wallet, but agents took the wallet away

Los Angeles Times reporter @ByJackHarris and columnists @BillPlaschke and @dylanohernandez discuss what it means for the team and the city.
No more National Guard troops outside the Metropolitan Detention Center downtown.
They have all been replaced by CBP and DHS agents following the court order halting the use of the National Guard in L.A.
.@SenAlexPadilla is one of the most decent people I know.
This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.
Trump and his shock troops are out of control.
This must end now.
