Schools within the area were on lockdown as this started 10:40am for an eviction notice, police asked to leave civilly, asking for any family to coax him out of his home. Gavin Newsom is debriefed on the situation and Fresno Mayor makes a statement.

Why can't we have an event that celebrates Native Americans in our population or Hispanic Americans that wonderfully support our towns growth. How come we aren't talking about more of their culture and sharing in festivities unless its a backyard barbecue, vendor food where we're unhappy smaller towns came unauthorized to support (to some permit measures understandably), and their beer. We barely welcome their music but I think we should plan something that honors their labors, their contribution to our American towns too, as they are patriotic. We need to celebrate them in a time when their families are threatened. This is cosmetic and blanket support rather than fixing underlying issues in our community, but I'd like to have something to uplift my family and my neighbors.

Anyway, point of post is to bring attention to ICE sightings in Tulare county. They're closing in my town like I knew they would with time. Porterville High was noted to have ICE around. Stay safe, document, and report everything you see, and love thy neighbors.

I noted, too, PCAN is more or less on the record of ICE "following the rules" to do their job as if it isn't the same Border Patrol its been since roughly the seventies...

Ed McKervey impulsively motioned to allocate funds towards religious organizations aimed to aid homelessness to pacify his citizens but riled his colleagues. The rest of council wearily ask for him to not disclose to much behind the scenes funds and planning without thinking about the cost and weighed outcomes, namely. This was suggested by Raymond Beltran, as he tends to carefully consider the weighing elements of our community's decisions and play mediation between citizens and leadership.

Beltran often criticizes leadership as it proves to be distrustful at times with how they present topics to our community, mishandle water irrigation deals, and defend his values even when he's outnumbered 4-1.

Hopefully we can hold faith in fruitful results in a committee that cannot settle on agreement without bickering for three hours and two month standing with Porterville Irrigation.

I hope to update this with more developments as I support the liberties of my town!
