People hold up signs during the Harvard Students for Freedom rally in support of international students at the Harvard University campus in Boston on May 27.(Rick Friedman / AFP via Getty Images)International students in Southern California say new visa time limits imposed by the Trump administration don’t square with the realities of trying to complete a degree in four years.Under the new rules, there is now a limit to how long international students can remain in the country, as opposed to remaining in the U.S. for as long as it took to complete their degree program.Department of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin said in a statement that the previous rules allowed thousands to become “forever students” by perpetually enrolling in courses to avoid departure. LAist has reached out to the department about how many of these students are in Southern California.California State University spokesperson Amy Bentley-Smith said international students from over 160 countries “add to the rich d

Holbox Is the Michelin-Starred Seafood Stand Worth the Wait in Line
Tostada with uni at Holbox. | Wonho Frank Lee When Holbox first opened in 2017, one of eight restaurants in the historic Mercado La Paloma, no one knew how far-reaching the Mexican seafood stall’s influence would be felt throughout Los Angeles. Holbox was the first market stand in Los Angeles to receive a Michelin star, in effect changing the way food halls and marketplaces now get perceived nationally. It landed a spot on North America’s 50 Best Restaurants list and James Beard nods for chef Gilbert Cetina, whose family has been part of Mercado La Paloma’s history since opening Yucatecan Chichen Itza in 2001. It has been included in Eater Los Angeles’s own 38 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles list multiple times. And yet much has remained from Holbox’s early days: its emphasis on local ingredients, the quality of the seafood, and the warm feeling of both the service and the location. (The lines are newer — but they move quickly.) Regardless, it’s one of the lines in Los Angeles actually

‘Pretty sure he’s wet:’ Immigration agents used racial slurs during LA sweeps, court records show
Federal immigration agents arrest a man in Bell as residents clash with U.S. Border Patrol agents after a traffic collision involving one of the agency's vehicles during immigration raids across the Los Angeles area on June 20, 2025.(Carlin Stiehl / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)Federal immigration agents used racial slurs, including “wet” and “tonks,” to identify people to target while sweeping through Los Angeles last year, according to text messages cited in a new court filing asking a federal judge there to bar agents from racial profiling.Plaintiffs in the Vasquez Perdomo vs. Noem case filed a motion for a preliminary injunction on Monday, arguing that agents had conducted an “ongoing campaign of suspicionless and discriminatory detentive stops” across the Central District of California even after the high-profile street raids of summer 2025 had ceased.

An LA County sheriff oversight panel now has subpoena power. So why hasn't it been able to use it?
Critics of the L.A. Sheriff's Department say law laws are getting in the way of civilian oversight of the troubled department.(Luke Hales / Getty Images)Civilian commissions that review the conduct of local law enforcement agencies have long been criticized for lacking teeth.One way to remedy that is to give the civilian groups subpoena power so they can compel witnesses to testify or a department to provide documents.Law enforcement agencies, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, have pushed back against that idea. But in 2020, L.A. County voters approved Measure R, which gave subpoena power to the Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission.Six years later, the commission is still having trouble getting the department to comply.“L.A. County voters said loud and clear in 2020 we wanted real oversight with subpoena power.. for real accountability of the largest Sheriff’s Department in the nation,” said Hans Johnson, chair of the Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission. “We sti

Feds move to drop case against LA labor leader David Huerta
David Huerta, president of SEIU California, was arrested while protesting an ICE raid last year.(Ringo Chiu / AP)Federal prosecutors filed a motion Monday to drop their case against labor leader David Huerta, a year after he was arrested protesting an ICE raid in downtown L.A. last summer. His arrest was one of the most dramatic moments of last summer, sparking a firestorm of criticism.The federal government had charged Huerta, who leads Service Employees International Union California, with a misdemeanor, accusing him of obstructing, resisting, or opposing a federal officer during the first day of immigration sweeps across the region. Prosecutors had originally charged him with a felony, which carried a maximum sentence of six years in prison.The charge against Huerta goes back to June 6, 2025, when he showed up at Ambiance Apparel in downtown L.A., a workplace where federal authorities were executing a warrant. He was arrested and held for three nights in the Metropolitan Detention C

Sky’s Gourmet Tacos Will Close Its Mid-City Restaurant After 34 Years
The spread from Sky’s. | Wonho Frank Lee After more than three decades, Mid-City staple Sky’s Gourmet Tacos announced it will close its full-service restaurant on August 15, 2026, and transition to a catering and ghost-kitchen business. Earlier in 2026, Barbara “Sky” Burrell celebrated 34 years on Pico Boulevard near Cochran Avenue.

The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: July 27
Chive cakes from Holy Basil. | Mona Holmes The editors at Eater Los Angeles dine out several times a week, if not per day, which means we’re always encountering standout dishes that deserve time in the limelight. Here’s the very best of everything the team has eaten this week. Blue crab onigiri from Onigiri Time in Pasadena I stumbled upon this cute onigiri cart in Pasadena on the way to pick up special-occasion croissants from Artisanal Goods by Car. The onigiri range from $9.99 to $13.99 — which admittedly feels steep for a simple rice ball. Still, I picked up a spicy tuna version, smoked scallop onigiri, and one filled with blue crab. When I unwrapped my onigiri later on the beach, the nori had remained crispy while its rice was soft and well-seasoned. The center had been packed with Kewpie mayonnaise–dressed blue crab, a portion so generous that by the end of my rice ball, I felt genuinely full. What makes Onigiri Time more unique is the wasabi sauce that accompanies each order, in

Something was missing from Koreatown’s walls. This artist is trying to bring it back
Artist Dave Young Kim's mural at the Korean Resource Center in Koreatown depicts traditional Korean drummers. The mural was informed by oral histories collected by youth in the Koreatown Storytelling Program.(Nathan Solis / The LA Local)This story first appeared on The LA Local.Murals depicting Korean drummers, dancers and historical figures were a large part of Dave Young Kim’s childhood in Koreatown.At the time, the Korean American artist didn’t know what all of the imagery meant, but it left a lasting impression on him.“We don’t learn culture via formal education. It’s all gleaned,” Kim said. “It’s just what we sense, and we feel a connection to it without actually knowing anything about it. It belongs to us, and it feels very familiar.”Many of the murals Kim remembers from his childhood have since disappeared. With his latest mural at the Korean Resource Center, Kim hopes to bring some of that visual imagery back to the neighborhood.Completed this summer, the mural is Kim’s first i

Will becoming a charter city solve Orange's financial struggles? Voters will decide this fall
The city of Orange will ask voters in November if it should become a charter city.(Carol M. Highsmith / Courtesy of the Library of Congress )Voters in Orange will decide in November if the city should become a charter city.The City Council approved 4-3 at its July 14 meeting to bring the question to voters. Councilmembers Arianna Barrios, Ana Gutierrez and John Gyllenhammer opposed the measure.Orange is currently a general law city, which means it’s bound by state law and mandates. Charter cities still have to follow state law, but can establish their own rules on issues such as mayoral authority, term limits and financial management. Each charter city varies in how they establish those rules.

West Hollywood’s Water Main Woes Are Draining Sunset Strip Restaurants
Dialog cafe appears in the distance of a major water main break. | Anadolu via Getty Images On a muggy Saturday afternoon, I sat on Saltie Girl’s patio, downing a silky clam chowder, fried lobster and waffles, oysters, stone fruit salad, and one of the most colorful tuna tostadas I’ve ever seen, deep in the Sunset Strip. The iconic street has recently been in the spotlight for the wrong reasons, as a century-old water main ruptured on July 16, spilling 17 million gallons of water and creating a sinkhole that closed the Sunset Strip at Holloway Drive. As crews from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) worked to fix it, a second water main break occurred one mile away at Santa Monica Boulevard and Laurel Avenue on Thursday, July 23. The Saturday I visited, I was curious to see how quickly I could hop over to Henry’s Secret Ice Cream for a pint of peach cobbler, a trek that should take a few minutes by driving only .7 miles west. Instead, the direction app took me 12 minu

Luckily, the Vista is not entirely sold out, and the theater has one of my favorite concession counters in Los Angeles. Prime yourself for the near three-hour movie with Hebrew National hot dogs tucked between warm, plush buns, then kissed with smears of ketchup and mustard. The scent of fresh, hot popcorn with real butter drifts through the lobby, singing a salty siren song of its own. Plus, the Vista has some of the most affordable concessions in town

Spread of mini tarts. | Joseph Duarte Joyce Hsieh, a Le Cordon Bleu graduate and Milo and Olive alum, is behind the new Pinecone Bakeshop and Cafe, a fruit tart–focused bakery in Alhambra. At Pinecone, Hsieh serves fruit tarts crowned with peak season produce sourced from local farms, including Harry’s Berries and Wong Farms, all nestled onto a crust that uses Tehachapi Sonora wheat.

As part of her role, she oversaw the bakery operations at Milo and Olive, which also acts as a supplier for the rest of the Rustic Canyon family of restaurant
