Airplane Makes Emergency Landing at Long Beach Air Airplane Makes Emergency Landing at Long Beach Airport

LONG BEACH — A small plane made an emergency landing at Long Beach Airport on Friday evening after experiencing a landing gear malfunction, authorities said.

The incident occurred around 7:10 p.m., when a Cessna carrying two people was forced to land. Airport officials confirmed the aircraft touched down safely despite the mechanical issue, and no injuries were reported.

Both occupants walked away unharmed. Operations at the airport continued with minimal disruption, officials said.

The Federal Aviation Administration is expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Long Beach Values Act: City to Discipline Employee Long Beach Values Act: City to Discipline Employees Who Defy Sanctuary Policies

The Long Beach Values Act protects immigrants by limiting how the city works with federal immigration agents. The city strengthened it, adding rules like training city workers to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from non-public city areas and punishing workers who don’t follow the rules.

Some question if the Act breaks federal law. The Trump Administration called Long Beach a “sanctuary city” in May 2025, saying it might face penalties for not helping ICE. Federal law says cities can’t block immigration enforcement, but California’s Values Act (SB 54) supports Long Beach’s rules by limiting state and local police from working with ICE. A federal judge once ruled against punishing cities like Long Beach for this. Still, some worry the city could lose federal money, like the $315 million it got last year, if the Trump Administration challenges it.

Critics, like local group ÓRALE, say the Act still allows some cooperation with ICE for serious crimes. They also want people to be able to sue the city if it doesn’t follow the Act, but officials say this could lead to costly lawsuits.

City employees who disobey these sanctuary policies face serious consequences. If a worker, like a police officer or city staff, shares immigration information with ICE or lets agents into restricted city areas without a court order, they could get a warning, be suspended, demoted, or even fired. Residents can report violations through an online portal run by the city’s Human Resources Department, and vendors who don’t follow the rules may lose their contracts.

The Long Beach Values Act aims to keep immigrants safe and build trust with police. But with possible legal fights and federal funding at risk, questions remain: Can Long Beach keep its protections without breaking federal law? For now, the city stands firm, but the debate continues.

Woman Struck, Killed While Crossing Street in Cali Woman Struck, Killed While Crossing Street in California Heights

Long Beach, CA – August 2, 2025 — Collision Investigation Detectives with the Long Beach Police Department are investigating a fatal traffic collision that occurred Friday night, resulting in the death of an adult female pedestrian.

Man Accused of Supporting ISIS Arrested in Long Be Man Accused of Supporting ISIS Arrested in Long Beach; Bomb Found in Bedroom

A Long Beach man was arrested Thursday on federal charges alleging he provided financial support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization.

Mark Lorenzo Villanueva, 28, a lawful permanent resident from the Philippines, is accused of sending 12 payments totaling $1,615 over five months to individuals linked to ISIS. He is charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.

Villanueva is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles today.

According to a federal affidavit, Villanueva communicated via social media with two individuals claiming to be ISIS fighters. He expressed his desire to support ISIS, offered to send money for weapons and equipment, and said he hoped to fight for the group himself.

“It’s an honor to fight and die for our faith,” he allegedly wrote. “Someday soon, I’ll be joining.”

In another exchange, he claimed to have a bomb and knives. During his arrest, the FBI recovered what appeared to be a bomb from his bedroom.

The money was sent through intermediaries overseas using Western Union.

“Supporting a terrorist group, whether at home or abroad, is a serious risk to our national security,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. “We will aggressively hunt down and prosecute anyone who provides support or comfort to our enemies.”

The case is being investigated by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Colin S. Scott and DOJ Trial Attorney Patrick Cashman.

A criminal complaint is only an allegation. Villanueva is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

LBUSD Substitute Staff Member, Coach Accused of Se LBUSD Substitute Staff Member, Coach Accused of Sexually Assaulting Teen

A Long Beach man has been arrested in connection with the sexual assault of a teenage girl, and detectives believe there may be additional victims tied to other unreported incidents, according to the Long Beach Police Department.

On Thursday, July 24, at approximately 8:24 a.m., Child and Elder Abuse detectives arrested 34-year-old Gabriel Vigil at his residence near Pacific Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. The arrest followed a weeks-long investigation that began earlier this month.

According to police, the investigation was launched on July 1 after a staff member from Cabrillo High School reported that a female teenage student had been sexually assaulted off-campus by a substitute staff member who was also working as a sports coach. Detectives quickly began gathering evidence and building a case that ultimately led to Vigil’s arrest.

Vigil has been booked on multiple felony charges, including one count of statutory rape, one count of arranging a meeting with a minor for lewd purposes, and one count of contacting a minor to commit a felony. His bail has been set at $100,000.

Authorities say they are concerned there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward.

“We are urging anyone who may have experienced similar incidents or who may have relevant information to reach out,” the department said in a statement.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Child and Elder Abuse Detective Jared Asato at (562) 570-7321. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through LA Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), using the “P3 Tips” app, or visiting www.lacrimestoppers.org.
City Auditor Laura Doud Raises Questions About $44 City Auditor Laura Doud Raises Questions About $444M in Measure A Spending

Long Beach, CA – July 22, 2025
City Auditor Laura Doud has released a new report analyzing the impact of Measure A, the voter-approved sales tax that has generated $521 million since 2017. The report reveals that $444 million has been spent—60% on public safety and 40% on infrastructure—but Doud’s findings and ongoing resident concerns raise questions about whether the funds are delivering results.

Despite $50 million spent on street repairs, Doud’s audit found that one-third of city streets remain in poor or very poor condition. “There is such a significant need for this throughout the city,” she said, noting that at least $20 million more per year is needed over the next three years just to improve road conditions.

Public safety received $268 million, including $168 million for police services and $90 million for fire services. Funding restored patrol units, fire engines, and paramedic positions. Yet residents report ongoing issues with fire department understaffing and slower emergency response times, despite the investment.

The release of the report coincided with Mayor Rex Richardson’s announcement of a citywide crime drop under the S.T.R.O.N.G. Beach Initiative, which claims shootings are down 29%, homicides down 28%, and property crime down 23.5%. But many residents say they still don’t feel safer.

“Perceptions of safety are deeply connected to visible services—reliable emergency response, safe streets, and clean neighborhoods,” said Doud. “That’s where residents want to see improvement.”

Doud emphasized the importance of public oversight. A Citizens’ Advisory Committee exists to review Measure A spending, and upcoming meetings in August and October will allow residents to provide input.

Off-Duty Federal Agent Faces Felony Charges After Off-Duty Federal Agent Faces Felony Charges After Alleged Drunken Assault on Long Beach Officer

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly assaulting a Long Beach police officer while off-duty and armed earlier this week.

Isaiah Anthony Hodgson, 29, appeared in a Los Angeles County courtroom Friday. He faces four felony charges — including battery on a peace officer and resisting arrest — and three misdemeanor firearm-related charges.

The incident occurred Monday at Shoreline Village. Prosecutors say Hodgson was intoxicated inside a restaurant when he followed a woman into the women’s restroom. The woman reported seeing a firearm and magazine on him and alerted staff.

Hodgson fled but was confronted by a security guard who noticed him holding a magazine and with a gun in his waistband. Despite repeated demands, he refused to leave. Police arrived and found him intoxicated and uncooperative. As officers tried to detain him, he allegedly became aggressive, injuring one officer.

He was arrested and later released under conditions including a firearms ban, remaining in California, and attending three weekly alcohol counseling sessions.

District Attorney Nathan Hochman called Hodgson’s alleged actions “deeply troubling,” adding, “No one is above the law.”

Hodgson is due back in court on July 17. He faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.

Long Beach Police Arrest Homeless Man in Sexual As Long Beach Police Arrest Homeless Man in Sexual Assault, Seek Additional Victims

Detectives with the Long Beach Police Department’s Sex Crimes Detail have arrested a suspect in connection with a violent sexual assault that occurred early Tuesday morning, and they believe there may be additional victims.

The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Alvin Marbra, who is experiencing homelessness, was taken into custody on the afternoon of July 1, 2025. Authorities believe he is responsible for a brutal attack that took place just after 2:30 a.m. near Alamitos Avenue and 4th Street.

According to investigators, a female adult victim was walking in the area when Marbra allegedly approached her, physically assaulted her until she lost consciousness, and then sexually assaulted her.

Using nearby security camera footage, detectives were able to track Marbra’s movements. He was located later that day around 12:45 p.m. near 4th Street and Cherry Avenue and was arrested without incident. He was booked into the Long Beach City Jail on multiple felony charges, including rape, assault with intent to rape, and assault with a deadly weapon. His bail was set at $100,000.

“This alarming criminal act is deeply concerning, and the response of our officers and detectives underscores LBPD’s commitment to identifying and arresting individuals responsible for harming others,” said Long Beach Police Chief Wally Hebeish. “The work of the responding officers and handling detectives, coupled with our strategic use of technology and security video, allowed us to swiftly identify and arrest the suspect believed to be responsible for this heinous sexual assault.”

Investigators are now urging anyone who may have been victimized by Marbra or has information about similar incidents to come forward. They believe there may be additional unreported cases and are asking potential victims to contact the Sex Crimes Detail at (562) 570-7368.

The investigation remains ongoing.
