In the race for LA City Council District 1, four candidates are mounting campaigns against the incumbent Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez. The race has quickly become a referendum on public safety, homelessness, and the future of progressive governance in some of the city’s most politically active neighborhoods.

The district stretches from Glassell Park and Highland Park through Chinatown, Westlake, and Pico-Union — a broad swath of neighborhoods shaped by immigrant communities, rising housing costs, and growing concerns over immigration, housing, traffic safety, and access to public space.

The contest has drawn unusual attention for a local council race, in part because Hernandez has emerged as one of the LA City Council’s most outspoken progressive voices on policing and social services since taking office in 2022.

Los Angeles taxpayers are still in the dark about how much the city is spending to host eight matches of this year’s FIFA World Cup. Two weeks from the start of the men’s soccer tournament, the two private organizations that have answers aren’t sharing details with the public.

Although World Cup games in LA will be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood and not at public venues, government agencies including the city of LA are spending an unknown amount of tax dollars paying for costs related to hosting the tournament.

“Taxpayers will not be on the hook,” LA Mayor Karen Bass told LA Public Press at a World Cup promotional event in Koreatown this week.

Yet a recent review by ProPublica of host cities’ contracts with FIFA, soccer’s nonprofit governing body, found that “almost all of the costs” of organizing and hosting World Cup matches — including transportation, stadium upgrades, street cleaning, and security costs — will fall on taxpayers.

LA officials haven’t revealed how much is being spent on security for the games. By comparison, the Los Angeles Police Department said this month that security costs for the 2028 Olympics in LA would amount to more than $1 billion.

Raman is now familiar with the bureaucratic dealings of City Hall. But when she first burst onto LA’s political scene six years ago, she was an unknown upstart who unseated former City Council member David Ryu in District 4, trailblazing a new progressive wing on city council. Her last-minute entry to join the mayoral race in February once again disrupted what was considered to be an unchallenged re-election campaign for Mayor Karen Bass.

Raman is competing neck and neck with former reality TV personality Spencer Pratt to secure second place on June 2, which could lead to a run-off against Bass this fall if the incumbent mayor does not win more than 50 percent of the vote. The challenge for Raman has been to explain to voters — many of whom are disillusioned with present leadership — why she decided to jump into the race last minute.

Zev Yaroslavsky, director of the Los Angeles Initiative at UCLA, said the councilmember is still struggling to depict an authentic evolution of her journey in politics even after three months of campaigning. She has to strike a delicate balance between portraying herself as a change candidate while also tempering certain stances that won’t appeal to more moderate voters.

Raman is competing neck and neck with former reality TV personality Spencer Pratt to secure second place on June 2, which could lead to a run-off against Bass this fall if the incumbent mayor does not win more than 50 percent of the vote. The challenge for Raman has been to explain to voters — many of whom are disillusioned with present leadership — why she decided to jump into the race last minute.

Zev Yaroslavsky, director of the Los Angeles Initiative at UCLA, said the councilmember is still struggling to depict an authentic evolution of her journey in politics even after three months of campaigning. She has to strike a delicate balance between portraying herself as a change candidate while also tempering certain stances that won’t appeal to more moderate voters.

Two Los Angeles Police Department officers with histories of misconduct are facing the possible loss of their state-issued police certifications over the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Margarito “Junior” Lopez five years ago in South Central Los Angeles.

Jose Zavala and Julio Quintanilla could become the first officers to be stripped of their policing powers in California under Senate Bill 2, which has been slowly rolled out since it was adopted in 2021. Without their certifications, the men would not be allowed to work as police officers anywhere in the state.

A five-member board created under SB 2 unanimously agreed in April to revoke Zavala’s and Quintanilla’s certifications after determining neither officer was in immediate danger when they shot and killed Lopez.

With less than a month before the FIFA World Cup kicks off, soccer fans in Los Angeles are feeling conflicted about attending matches. They are concerned about wars abroad, skyrocketing ticket prices, and ICE’s presence at the tournament. Some are boycotting the games entirely.

LA is set to host eight World Cup games at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, including the opening match for the U.S. men’s national team on June 12. From June 11 to July ​19, 104 matches will be played across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a video published on X.com on May 19 that ICE agents will “be out there everyday” at World Cup games in the U.S. to crack down on “counterfeit tickets, human trafficking, drug smuggling, [and] counterfeit products.”

The LA World Cup Host Committee, a nonprofit running logistics for matches in LA, previously said ICE would be at games but not part of stadium security. A labor union representing more than 2,000 hospitality workers at SoFi stadium threatened to strike if ICE agents are deployed to World Cup games.

On Saturday, at a soccer tournament in Mid City between taquerias from across LA County, soccer player Tori Wei told LA Public Press that ICE’s presence at matches makes it difficult to support the World Cup.

At 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, around 30 activists — including formerly unhoused people — staged a sweep in front of LA City Council member Hugo Soto-Martínez’s apartment building in East Hollywood.

Soto-Martínez is running for re-election in next week’s June 2 primary. Activists from organizations including LA Street Care, Aetna Street Solidarity, and J-Town Action and Solidarity, called on Soto-Martínez to repeal 41.18 zones in his district ahead of the election.

41.18 is an ordinance that bans sleeping, sitting and lying in certain public spaces, known as enforcement zones. They are often enforced through sanitation operations, or “sweeps,” in which sanitation workers displace unhoused people by throwing out their tents and other possessions.

“ 41.18, as I usually derisively call it, is the new Jim Crow,” said Theo Henderson, the formerly unhoused podcast host of “We the Unhoused.” Terriann Holzman, who was homeless in Soto-Martínez’s district, said she had to keep moving because of 41.18 and was ticketed by police for violating the ordinance. “I was treated very poorly,” Holzman said.

LA Public Press reached out to Soto-Martínez, asking him if he had made any progress repealing 41.18 zones in his district. In a statement, Soto-Martínez didn’t answer the question, instead writing that repealing 41.18 citywide “would require majority support from the City Council, and that support does not currently exist.” He added that he had voted against every new 41.18 zone brought forward by his colleagues.

Activists said that Soto-Martínez had previously told them that his office was looking into steps to repeal 41.18 in his district, “since this has never been done before.” Organizers dispute that assertion.

Los Angeles County’s first supervisorial district is large and diverse, stretching from central Los Angeles neighborhoods like Silverlake, Echo Park, and Boyle Heights to East Los Angeles to San Gabriel Valley communities like Montebello, Baldwin Park, West Covina, and Pomona. District 1 is home to nearly 2 million residents, many of whom are working class and immigrant families.

Hilda Solis, who has served for 12 years as the LA County Supervisor for District 1, is termed out and will vacate her seat in December. She is running for Congress in California’s 38th District this year as five candidates face off for her long-held county position.

LA's streets and busted, and frustrated activists are taking street safety into their own hands.

Reforms might be on the way, but in Boyle Heights, Margarita Amador is done waiting on public officials to address the disrepair and lack of cleanliness in her neighborhood.

“We’re used to calling our local council office and someone actually picking up the phone and addressing constituent concerns,” Amador said. With councilmember Ysabel Jurado, who was elected in 2024, she said, “That’s not what’s happening.”
