Crime In Los Angeles Soars in 2015
For the first time in over a decade, all types of crime increased dramatically in Los Angeles and other Southern California towns and cities. Violent crime - which includes aggravated assault, robbery, rape, and murder - increased 19.9% while property crimes increased 10.3% - an overall increase of 15.1% over 2014.
"We're working hard to try and figure out what's happened here," said Assistant Police Chief Ruben Morales. "The thinking right now is that the increase is somehow related to the burning of fossil fuels."

Immigrant Populations Soar In Sanctuary Cities
New statistics show unprecedented immigrant population growth over the last year in towns and cities labeling themselves "sanctuary cities." The largest increases were seen in Southern California, especially Los Angeles, with an increase of 15.1% over last year.
"Sanctuary city policies have really benefited our communities. In fact, Los Angeles officially now has the highest sales of spray paint in the entire world - and that includes China," said one proud LA council member.
At the current rate of immigrants entering and being allowed to stay, next year's foreign-born population increase in California is expected to nearly double that of 2015.
