Hundreds Rally in Long Beach for “No Kings” Pr Hundreds Rally in Long Beach for “No Kings” Protest Against Trump Administration Policies LONG BEACH — Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in downtown Long Beach on Saturday, October 18, as part of the nationwide “No Kings” protests opposing President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies. The event was one of roughly 40 demonstrations held across Los Angeles County, with additional rallies taking place in nearby cities. Organizers of the “No Kings” movement said participants were protesting a range of issues, including immigration enforcement by masked agents, the separation of migrant families, gerrymandered congressional maps, healthcare access, and the rising cost of living. This marked the second wave of “No Kings” demonstrations this year, as organizers continue efforts to “push back” against Trump-era policies, particularly the immigration raids that ramped up across Southern California over the summer. Among those in attendance were Congressman and former Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia and current Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson, both of whom voiced support for the peaceful demonstration and its message. “Proud of our Long Beach community for showing up, speaking out, and demonstrating peacefully today at the No Kings Rally,” Richardson said. “In America, we don’t have kings or queens — we have elected leaders chosen by the people, for the people.” Garcia echoed that sentiment, celebrating the city’s turnout and political engagement. “NO KINGS in Long Beach. So proud of our city for turning out and opposing Trump,” Garcia said. “People are fired up and tons of YES support for Prop 50. Let’s go!” As of Saturday evening, organizers had not announced the next steps for the movement, but many participants said they plan to continue demonstrating in the weeks ahead to advocate for democratic values and accountability in government.

Long Beach Police Cite Clerk for Selling Alcohol t Long Beach Police Cite Clerk for Selling Alcohol to Minor During Decoy Operation LONG BEACH — The Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) cited a clerk at Party Time Liquor, located at 6031 Atlantic Avenue in North Long Beach, for selling alcohol to a minor during a compliance operation conducted on September 12, 2025. The enforcement effort was part of a minor decoy operation in which underage individuals, under the direct supervision of police detectives, attempted to purchase alcohol from 19 licensed retail establishments across the city. Party Time Liquor was the only business that sold alcohol to the underage decoy. According to state law, clerks who sell alcohol to minors face a minimum $250 fine and 24 to 32 hours of community service for a first-time violation. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) may also take administrative action against the business, which could include a fine, suspension, or permanent revocation of its license. “Businesses should always check IDs before selling alcohol,” said ABC Director Joseph McCullough. “Preventing access to people not old enough to legally purchase alcohol improves safety on our roadways and in our communities.” Underage drinking remains a major public safety concern. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drivers under 21 have a significantly higher risk of being involved in a crash, and about 25 percent of fatal crashes involve underage drinking. Minor decoy operations have been used by law enforcement throughout California since the 1980s. Early in the program, violation rates were as high as 40 to 50 percent, but routine enforcement has helped reduce that figure to below 10 percent in many communities. In 1994, the California Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the use of minor decoys is a valid enforcement tool to ensure compliance with alcohol sales laws. Funding for the operation was provided by a grant from ABC through its Alcohol Policing Partnership program. LBPD said it will continue conducting compliance checks to ensure alcohol retailers in Long Beach are following the law and keeping the community safe.
Long Beach Hits the Gas on Speed Camera Enforcemen Long Beach Hits the Gas on Speed Camera Enforcement to Curb Speeding The City of Long Beach is inviting residents to share their feedback on a proposed Automated Speed Enforcement System, a pilot program aimed at reducing speeding, collisions, and traffic fatalities through the use of automated speed safety cameras. While the City emphasizes safety, automated enforcement systems have long been controversial. Critics argue they function more as revenue tools than safety measures and raise privacy and fairness concerns. Opponents also question whether drivers receive proper notice and warn the fines can disproportionately affect low-income residents. Residents can review the Draft Impact Report and Draft Use Policy and submit comments by 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7, 2025. Feedback will help shape the final plan before it goes to City Council later this year. Authorized under California State Bill AB 645, Long Beach is one of six cities in the state selected for a five-year pilot. Cameras would automatically issue citations to drivers traveling 11 mph or more over the speed limit in designated school zones and high-injury corridors. The Department of Public Works will oversee the ASE program, which aligns with the City’s Safe Streets Long Beach Plan and Racial Equity and Reconciliation Initiative. The system will be civilian-led—no citation data will be shared with police. Studies show mixed results: while cameras can reduce severe right-angle crashes, they’ve also been linked to increases in rear-end collisions. Supporters say the programs deter speeding and save lives, while opponents continue to challenge them in courtrooms and legislatures across the country. PUBLIC MEETING – Automated Speed Safety System Pilot Program (AB 645) • Date: October 7, 2025 • Time: 2:00 p.m. • Location: 411 W. Ocean Boulevard, Civic Chambers • Virtual Access: https://bit.ly/4objPmB Public feedback will be received during the meeting and for at least 30 days following. Comments can also be submitted online starting October 7 at https://bit.ly/4h6hEyo. More info on our website longbeachlocalnews.com

Long Beach Police Crack Down on Illegal, Dangerous Long Beach Police Crack Down on Illegal, Dangerous Pocket Bikes in Downtown Area The Long Beach Police Department is stepping up enforcement against illegal pocket bikes after several recent incidents in the downtown area raised safety concerns. Officials say the small, motorized bikes often seen in large groups and promoted on social media are not only illegal for street use but pose serious risks to riders, drivers, and bystanders. In a recent targeted operation, LBPD officers seized four pocket bikes, issued citations to three individuals for operating them in prohibited areas, and made one arrest. The department says the enforcement is part of a proactive effort to address the growing problem. Police warn that pocket bike use can lead to traffic collisions, injuries, and property damage, while also putting the public and emergency responders at risk. In some cases, riders have reportedly interfered with officers and blocked emergency response efforts. Officers will continue to enforce several California Vehicle Codes, including: • §473(a) CVC – Defines pocket bikes as not designed for highway use. • §21710 CVC – Prohibits operation on sidewalks, roadways, highways, or bike paths. • §22651 CVC – Authorizes impoundment of illegally operated pocket bikes. • §24003 CVC – Requires all vehicles on public roads to meet safety standards. The LBPD is urging the public to avoid using or promoting pocket bike activity, emphasizing that such vehicles do not meet highway safety standards and cannot be legally operated on city streets, sidewalks, highways, or bicycle paths.
Downtown Long Beach Standoff Lasts 12 Hours, Suspe Downtown Long Beach Standoff Lasts 12 Hours, Suspect Escapes A massive police standoff in downtown Long Beach stretched for more than 12 hours on Tuesday, only to end with the suspect escaping. The ordeal began around 2 a.m. when a man who appeared to be armed tried to rob the 7-Eleven at Pine Avenue and Broadway, according to the Long Beach Police Department. Employees managed to run outside and alert nearby officers. What followed was a large-scale law enforcement response that shut down part of the downtown area. Heavily armed SWAT teams, armored vehicles, K9 units, and other specialized resources were deployed, drawing a significant police presence that neighbors described as overwhelming. Flashbang grenades were reportedly used as officers tried to coax the suspect out. Throughout the day, police blocked off streets and even entered neighboring businesses as they waited for a search warrant, believing the man was still inside the store. But by around 4 p.m., the scene had been cleared, and police confirmed the suspect “remained outstanding.” No description of him was immediately released. The deployment of SWAT units, armored vehicles, and extended manpower for more than 12 hours represents a significant use of city resources an expense made more frustrating given that the suspect managed to get away.
MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center Reaches M MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center Reaches Milestone in Groundbreaking Tremor Treatment Essential Tremor (ET), a neurological disorder often mistaken for Parkinson’s Disease, affects an estimated 10 million Americans—making it eight times more common. ET most often causes shaking of the hands, head, and voice, though it can also impact the legs and trunk. Symptoms worsen with stress or purposeful movement, leaving many patients struggling with simple daily tasks. MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center has now completed its 200th MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) procedure, marking a milestone in the fight against ET and tremor-dominant Parkinson’s Disease. The hospital is one of only a few centers in Southern California to offer this minimally invasive treatment, which delivers immediate and lasting relief from uncontrollable tremors. MRgFUS uses ultrasound waves, guided by MRI imaging, to precisely target and disrupt abnormal brain signals that cause tremors—all without incisions, implants, or radiation. Results are often immediate and can last at least five years. The center also offers Deep Brain Stimulation, another advanced option that uses implanted electrodes to regulate nerve signals. “This technology has revolutionized care, offering patients a non-invasive solution that significantly improves their quality of life,” said Dr. Devin K. Binder, medical director of the Neuroscience Institute and the most experienced MRgFUS neurosurgeon on the West Coast. The milestone procedure was performed on Ralph, a patient who endured tremors for more than 40 years. “After my procedure, I noticed an immediate difference,” he said. “I can finally sign my name and eat without assistance—I have my confidence back.” Despite being the most common movement disorder, essential tremor often goes undiagnosed and untreated. Orange Coast Medical Center’s Movement Disorders Program aims to change that, expanding access to treatments that give patients freedom from tremors—and a chance to reclaim their independence. @memorialcare
Robbery Suspect Barricaded Inside Long Beach 7-Ele Robbery Suspect Barricaded Inside Long Beach 7-Eleven Sparks Hours-Long Standoff A robbery suspect remains barricaded inside a 7-Eleven in downtown Long Beach Tuesday morning, prompting a large police and SWAT response that has shut down several streets in the area. The standoff began shortly after 2 a.m. when employees of the convenience store at West Broadway and Pine Avenue managed to escape and flag down officers after a man allegedly entered and robbed the store. Long Beach police confirmed the employees were unharmed and quickly alerted authorities. By 9 a.m., the suspect was still refusing to surrender despite repeated commands from officers outside the store. SWAT officers, a K-9 unit, and an armored BearCat vehicle were deployed to the scene, with police seen in tactical gear surrounding the business and urging the suspect to come out peacefully. The Long Beach Police Department has not released details about the suspect’s identity or what led to the confrontation. As a precaution, authorities have closed several streets, including Broadway from Pacific Avenue to Long Beach Boulevard and Pine Avenue from 1st Street to 3rd Street, as the standoff continues. Police say the situation remains active and are urging the public to avoid the area until further notice.
ICE Raid at Home Depot in Signal Hill Caught on Ca ICE Raid at Home Depot in Signal Hill Caught on Camera Signal Hill — An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid at a Home Depot in Signal Hill was caught on camera Monday morning, sparking outrage among witnesses. The incident unfolded around 8:32am in the store’s parking lot, where bystanders recorded video showing several masked ICE agents. Witnesses can be heard in the footage shouting at the agents as the raid took place. It remains unclear how many people were taken into custody during the operation, and ICE has not yet released a statement about the raid. The videos quickly spread on social media, drawing concern from community members who criticized the secrecy of the operation and questioned the presence of agents at a location where day laborers often gather for work opportunities. Signal Hill police confirmed they were not involved in the raid, noting the enforcement action was carried out solely by federal agents. Video by Marivel Herrera
32 Cats, 1 Dog Killed in Long Beach Apartment Fire 32 Cats, 1 Dog Killed in Long Beach Apartment Fire LONG BEACH — A devastating fire tore through a Long Beach apartment Sunday morning, killing 32 cats and one dog that were being sheltered for adoption. The blaze broke out around 7:15 a.m. at the Lindenwood Complex on the 3500 block of Linden Avenue, according to the Long Beach Fire Department. When firefighters arrived, they found heavy smoke pouring from a third-floor unit. Crews quickly contained the flames and prevented the fire from spreading to neighboring apartments. While no residents were injured, the unit where the fire started suffered major damage, displacing one person. Capt. Jack Crabtree of the LBFD said Red Cross assistance was not required. Authorities reported that the tenant had been temporarily housing dozens of animals through an organization, and the pets were waiting to be adopted. Long Beach Animal Care said it will be providing support to the resident in the aftermath of the tragedy. A neighbor described being “in shock,” noting that residents had previously been advised against keeping animals in the building. Fire investigators remained at the scene Sunday to determine the cause and origin of the blaze.
Hyundai Hope on Wheels Awards $100,000 Grant to Su Hyundai Hope on Wheels Awards $100,000 Grant to Support Cancer Survivorship Program at Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital To mark Childhood Cancer and Sickle Cell Awareness Month, the Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Institute at MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach has received a $100,000 Impact Grant from Hyundai Hope on Wheels, Hyundai Motor America’s nonprofit dedicated to fighting childhood cancer. It is the third year in a row the Institute has earned this grant, bringing total funding to $300,000 since 2023. This year’s award supports the Adolescent & Young Adult Survivorship Program, which helps patients transition from treatment into long-term recovery. “We know the journey doesn’t end when treatment does,” said Dr. Jacqueline Casillas, medical director of the Institute. “This grant will strengthen our survivorship program, which provides personalized care plans, psychosocial support, and education tailored to adolescent and young adult patients.” The program addresses a critical gap in care, as young people often fall between pediatric and adult oncology. A team of oncologists, psychologists, social workers, and nurse navigators helps patients manage long-term side effects, fertility concerns, and mental health while monitoring for recurrence. Survivors are also connected with peer groups and community resources to support independence, school, and work after cancer. To celebrate, Hyundai Hope on Wheels hosted its Handprint Ceremony, where patients placed colorful handprints on a new Hyundai vehicle. The car will travel nationwide, symbolizing their resilience and raising awareness of childhood cancer. “We’re deeply grateful for Hyundai’s continued partnership,” said Dinarte Viveiros, vice president and chief nursing officer. “Their generosity honors our patients and strengthens our mission to deliver compassionate, high-quality care.” The Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Institute is one of just 10 children’s hospitals in the U.S. accredited by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons. It provides comprehensive care for children with cancer, sickle cell disease, and other serious blood disorders.
Truck crashes through wall on Seventh Street, leav Truck crashes through wall on Seventh Street, leaving 1 dead and 3 injured A violent crash involving a box truck and a car left one man dead and three others injured Wednesday morning after the truck plowed through a cinderblock wall along Seventh Street near Cal State Long Beach, authorities said. The collision occurred around 11:45 a.m. on Seventh Street just west of Silvera Avenue, according to Long Beach Fire Department spokesperson Brian Fisk. Police said the box truck struck a black Tesla sedan before veering off the roadway and smashing through a wall on the south side of the street, bordering a residential neighborhood. The truck came to rest at an awkward angle in the wreckage. Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to extricate three men trapped inside, Fisk said. One man was pronounced dead at the scene. Two others were rushed to a hospital in critical condition. The Tesla, left with a crumpled front end and facing the wrong direction, was heavily damaged in the crash. Its driver was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police. Authorities have not determined the cause of the collision. The identity of the man who died is being withheld pending notification of his family. Seventh Street was shut down between Pepper Tree Lane and Campus Drive for several hours as investigators worked to document the scene and clear the wreckage. 📸 @betabrian93
No DUI Arrests at Long Beach Checkpoint: Effective No DUI Arrests at Long Beach Checkpoint: Effective Deterrent or Waste of Resources? LONG BEACH — A DUI/Driver License checkpoint held by the Long Beach Police Department over the weekend led to 13 citations but no arrests for impaired driving, raising questions about whether these operations are an effective deterrent or a misuse of police resources and state grant money. The checkpoint was conducted Sept. 12, 2025, at Pacific Coast Highway and Loynes Drive from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Police reported 1,328 vehicles passed through, with 397 drivers screened. Eight drivers were cited for operating a vehicle without a license or with a suspended or revoked license, and five were cited for other traffic violations. No one was arrested for DUI. According to LBPD, checkpoint locations are chosen based on crash data, with the goal of promoting safety and deterring impaired drivers. “Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” Commander Jeremy Boshnack said ahead of the operation. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improves traffic safety.” The operation was funded by a California Office of Traffic Safety grant, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That funding raises the question: if no impaired drivers are caught, is this the best use of taxpayer dollars and officer time? Supporters argue the absence of DUI arrests may mean the checkpoint worked as intended, discouraging people from drinking and driving. Critics say the same resources might be better used on patrol, where officers can directly intervene against reckless or impaired drivers. The LBPD emphasizes that impaired driving extends beyond alcohol. Marijuana use, even though legal, remains illegal behind the wheel, and some prescription or over-the-counter medications can also impair drivers. First-time DUI convictions can cost about $13,500 in fines and penalties and lead to a suspended license. As more checkpoints are planned, the debate continues: are they an essential tool to save lives, or a costly exercise with little measurable impact?
