ICE officers are no longer allowed to identify themselves as local police or use deceptive tactics during home arrests in Southern California, following a court-approved settlement reached in a class action lawsuit. https://ktla.com/news/california/ice-officers-barred-deceptive-tactics-home-raids/

Madre Fire Daily Update from Los Padres National Forest
Size: 80,603 Acres Containment: 35%
Total Personnel: 1,573
Firefighters are making good progress on direct and indirect containment lines across the west and northwest perimeters. On the northeast side crews are focused on mop-up and patrol operations. Where possible, firefighters are using direct attack operations on the southeast side in rugged terrain. Crews are working to complete mop-up along the Highway 166 corridor. Winds on Monday reignited some of the unburned fuel in the interior of the fire, but no communities or property were threatened. Some interior pockets continue to smolder. Expect to see more smoke as temperatures increase over the next few days.
The California Incident Management Team 8 hosted a virtual community meeting on July 7th. The recording is available for viewing on the Los Padres National Forest Facebook Page.
