Trio of women, including possible mother-daughter team, arrested in 'distraction burglaries' in Koreatown
When you think of burglary crews in L.A., you almost always think of bad boys. Yeah? But cops today say they nabbed a trio of break-in artists and, unusually, they're ladies. Not only that, but it appears two of them could be a mother-daughter team, or at least related. Yeah, the LAPD says the three are responsible for at least two "distraction burglaries" in Koreatown last week.

Los Angeles approves limits on truancy fines for students
The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to limit fines for public school students who are late to school. During the hour-long meeting, more than 30 people spoke, criticizing the rule as financially crippling and penalizing students who, despite being late, were still trying to attend school. The previous plan enacted in 1995 in a push for zero tolerance mandated sizable fines as high as $250. Under the new policy, students would have to be late three times before facing fines, which have been reduced to $20.

Cops cleared for broad search of gang member
The Supreme Court on Wednesday revived immunity for a group of Los Angeles police officers who executed a warrant for all guns and gang-related material after a known gang member tried to kill his ex-girlfriend. Angry that Shelly Kelly had called the sheriff's department to help her end their abusive relationship, Jerry Ray Bowen tried to throw the woman off a second-floor landing, tried to drag her into her apartment by her hair and then fired five bullets at her car as she sped away. Bowen used a pistol-gripped, sawed-off shotgun in the attack.

Sheriff Baca backs driver's licenses for illegal immigrants
Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca said he supports the idea of allowing illegal immigrants to have driver's licenses as long as they have been in the United States for a number of years without committing other crimes. Baca's comments Thursday come as Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck has also expressed support for driver's license for illegal immigrants. Baca said such licenses should only be issued after illegal immigrants fill out comprehensive applications, similar to those for citizenship.

'Sovereign citizen' movement now on FBI's radar
Since 2000, members of the "sovereign citizen" movement have killed six police officers, and clashes with law enforcement are on the rise, according to the FBI. The deadliest incident came in 2010, when a shootout with a member left four people dead, including two police officers, during what began as a routine traffic stop in West Memphis, Ark. Since then, in a notable shift in policy, federal officials have stepped up their attention on sovereign citizens.

New prison medical facilities unnecessary, analyst says
California should hold off on building new medical facilities for prison inmates, according to report released Thursday by the legislative analyst's office. The report contradicts plans by a court-appointed receiver, who has run the prison health system since a federal judge declared it unconstitutionally inadequate, for $2.3 billion in new clinics and upgrades.

Number of deportation cases drops by nearly a third, report says
The number of deportation cases filed by federal immigration officials dropped by nearly a third in the first three months of the fiscal year, according to a report by the Syracuse University Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. The drop recorded in the last three months of 2011 may reflect the Obama administration's plan to focus its deportation efforts by weighing a variety of discretionary factors, including whether the person is a veteran, came to the U.S. as a child or is a college student, according to the report.
