The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is letting its three-year contract with Flock Safety, a company that operates license plate reader cameras around the city, expire. The LAPD will allow the contract to expire on Saturday due to “unresolved disputes over data ownership, data sharing, and privacy safeguards,” FOX 11 Los Angeles reports. Watch below: The Los Angeles Police Department is ending its contract with Flock cameras over civil liberties and civil rights concerns. Officials have confirmed that these cameras collect data on Americans. The contract is set to expire and will not be renewed. pic.twitter.com/fJkyLbUT7n — Shadow of Ezra (@ShadowofEzra) July 11, 2026 FOX 11 Los Angeles has more: According to department officials, the two entities failed to come to terms on critical issues including data ownership, data sharing, and user privacy. Specifically, the LAPD is seeking to implement civil penalties against Flock if user data is shared with outside agencies that do not comply with local and state laws, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The technology uses a network of cameras to log license plates, which the LAPD defends as a powerful tool for criminal investigations. The department maintains that it enforces strict internal policies and regular audits to ensure the network is only used for legitimate law enforcement purposes. However, the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, which has previously sued the department over these cameras, views the suspension as proof that pushback against invasive surveillance is working. It’s unclear how many active Flock cameras will be immediately impacted or turned off due to the contract expiration. Flock license plate reader cameras have caused controversy in communities across the United States. For instance, a U.S. Air Force engineer is facing felony charges for allegedly damaging over a dozen Flock cameras in Virginia. “I Appreciate Everyone’s Right To Privacy” – U.S. Air Force Engineer Faces Felony Charges For Allegedly Damaging Flock Cameras Meanwhile, several Flock cameras in Houston, Texas, have been found damaged.

Multiple Police Officers Fired And Arrested For “Misuse” Of Flock Camera License Plate Reader System ABC7 Los Angeles shared further: Police said they are continuing discussions with Flock Safety about revising the agreement. LAPD wants updated language addressing privacy and data storage to be included in any new contract. Eyewitness News reached out to Flock Safety for a response on LAPD's decision. "Flock's position has been simple: if this technology is going to be used, it should be used with strong privacy protections, strict auditability, and clear oversight," a statement from Flock said in part. "While this latest development comes as a surprise, we remain committed to continuing our active and ongoing conversations with LAPD to find a path forward. We are proud of our partnership with LAPD and the results it has achieved for the city."

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said Israeli settlers detained him while visiting the West Bank. “Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine. When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention. They made a huge mistake. You will be hearing more soon,” Khanna said. Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine. When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention. They made a huge mistake. You will be hearing more soon. https://t.co/rZw8bRAn64 pic.twitter.com/4z50Ye4I7K — Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) July 11, 2026 More from The New York Times: On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Khanna, the congressman from Silicon Valley who is exploring a 2028 presidential run, was visiting the ruins of Khirbet Zanuta, a tiny Palestinian Bedouin village in the southern West Bank that was abandoned after escalating attacks from settlers and then demolished. Suddenly, a car of men holding guns pulled up and blocked the narrow road out of the village. The men began taunting the congressman and his team, swearing at them in Hebrew and Arabic and kicking the tires of their minibus, according to accounts, photographs and video footage from Mr. Khanna, an aide and his security guard. A photographer for The New York Times traveling in a different vehicle also saw the interaction. Soon, a Jeep with more men arrived. When two cars from the Israeli military pulled up, Mr. Khanna assumed the soldiers were there to help him pass. Instead, the soldiers smoked cigarettes, chatted with the men and after the settlers left, moved a car to block the road, he recounted. “I felt powerless in that situation, which is not an easy thing, as I have a lot of privilege in life,” said Mr. Khanna, who was eventually allowed to continue his journey after calls to the U.S. embassy and Israeli police. “Imagine how people feel every day, Palestinians under the occupation, if they could make an American congressperson feel powerless for 90 minutes.” Mr. Khanna said the experience was the most frightening part of a three-day trip organized by a member of his staff. In a statement on Saturday, a spokesperson for the Israeli military said that it had received a report of Israeli civilians unlawfully blocking the vehicles of foreign nationals and members of the news media near the village on Wednesday. Troops were dispatched and reopened the road, the spokesperson said. The military disputed that its soldiers had participated in blocking the exit and said that the identity of the armed civilian was being reviewed. “The arrogance of those young IDF soldiers that my tax dollars are funding, having no respect for the fact that they were detaining Americans. No respect that there was an American congressperson in that bus and laughing when our translator told them that there are Americans there, and the American Embassy is concerned,” Khanna said. “Being in the West Bank and in Israel is the first time that I have really been acutely aware of being brown. I feel like people have seen me first as brown, second as an American congressman, and third, as an American citizen,” he continued.

House Speaker Mike Johnson visited the territory in September 2025 and dined with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Democrats Chris van Hollen and Jeff Merkley, of Maryland and Oregon, respectively, toured the region in August 2025. Several nations that have supported Israel during the war in Gaza criticized the country after IDF troops fired what they called “warning shots” near a group of diplomats visiting the territory in May 2025. The delegation included representatives from the European Union, Japan and Russia. The IDF said the shots were fired after the group wandered off an approved route and entered a restricted area. The United Nations said in May that more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem since the war began. CBS News has met Palestinian residents and Israeli activists in the West Bank who say violent attacks by Israeli settlers have increased significantly since the war in Gaza began, including attacks that have driven people from their land. Israel has also continued to expand its settlements in the territory. The post House Democrat Says Israeli Settlers Detained Him While Visiting West Bank appeared first on 100PercentFedUp.com.

Jayden Adams, a midfielder for South Africa and Mamelodi Sundowns, was found dead less than two weeks after competing in the World Cup.

President Trump just turned a missing signature into a very loud message for the United States Senate. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law at midnight Saturday without the President signing it. That was not an accident, a missed deadline, or a pocket veto. Trump deliberately allowed the sweeping housing package to take effect while refusing to put his name on it. His reason had almost nothing to do with housing and everything to do with the unfinished fight over election integrity. The immediate result is unusual but straightforward: America has a major new housing law, and the President has made clear that the Senate should not mistake its passage for business as usual. KDKA summarized the constitutional endgame and the protest behind it. A landmark housing bill automatically became law at 12 a.m. on Saturday after President Trump declined to sign it in protest of the Senate's inaction on an elections bill known as the SAVE America Act. https://t.co/y6TquebuwZ — KDKA (@KDKA) July 11, 2026 Under the Constitution, a bill presented to the President becomes law if it is not signed or returned within ten days, Sundays excluded, as long as Congress remains in session. The housing bill reached the White House on June 29. When the deadline expired at the end of Friday, it became law just as surely as if Trump had signed it in front of a row of cameras. He also could have vetoed it. He did not. That is the detail much of the breathless coverage is skating past. Trump allowed the policy to survive while denying Washington the celebratory signature ceremony it wanted. The Associated Press reported that the measure passed the Senate 85-5 and the House 358-32, making a veto override all but certain even if the President had chosen that route. The outlet also detailed the scale of the housing problem Congress was trying to address. White House economists have estimated a national shortage of roughly 10 million homes, while the median sales price reached $440,600 in June. AP noted that the law cannot solve every pressure pushing housing costs higher. Construction-worker shortages, climbing insurance premiums, and wages that have not kept pace with rents and home prices remain outside its reach. Its central bet is that America can ease the shortage by making it faster and less expensive to build. The new law aims to speed construction by cutting federal rules, streamlining environmental reviews, modernizing housing programs, and making it harder for large corporations to crowd families out of the single-family-home market. The House Financial Services Committee says the final package contains more than 45 housing provisions, along with nine community-banking measures intended to expand local lending for construction and mortgages. It modernizes Department of Housing and Urban Development programs, reduces regulatory barriers to new building, and restricts certain institutional investors from competing with ordinary homebuyers. The law also blocks issuance of a central bank digital currency through the end of 2030, an important safeguard buried inside a bill mostly sold as an affordability package. The committee’s timeline shows how broad the agreement became. The package grew from years of House and Senate work, passed committee with overwhelming support, and survived multiple rounds of bicameral negotiations before the final 358-32 House vote. Chairman French Hill said the law is meant to put homeownership within reach for more Americans by strengthening community banks and making sure families get a fairer chance against institutional buyers. The Senate Banking Committee’s Republican majority called it the most comprehensive housing legislation of this century. That designation reflects a package built over years, not an emergency measure assembled in a weekend. Chairman Tim Scott said the law attacks the shortage at its source by removing building barriers, protecting taxpayers, preserving local control, and giving more families a chance to own a home. Scott described the package as the product of years of bipartisan and bicameral work, not a last-minute spending bill. His statement tied housing supply to stability, stronger communities, and the ability to pass opportunity to the next generation. He also placed the law squarely inside the Trump affordability agenda, arguing that families need results instead of another round of Washington excuses. The committee’s message was that expanding supply, not building a new federal subsidy machine, is the durable path to lower costs. Those are goals Trump has repeatedly supported. So why keep his signature off the page? Because the Senate is still sitting on the SAVE America Act. The White House’s official SAVE America Act page says the election bill would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering for federal elections, voter identification at the polls, and stronger procedures for removing noncitizens from voter rolls. It also sharply limits mail voting, preserving exceptions for illness, disability, military service, and travel. The text identifies passports, citizenship certificates, qualifying military records, certain government identification, and other federal documents as acceptable proof. It also requires an alternative review process for citizens who cannot present one of the standard documents. State election officials would be able to request citizenship-verification information from federal agencies, and the proposal preserves provisional ballots while a citizen’s status is verified. The House has acted. The Senate has not delivered the bill to the President. Trump’s decision was a warning flare: Congress can pass a giant bipartisan package, but Republican senators should not expect him to stage a victory lap while one of his most important election promises remains stalled. Democrats immediately tried to declare the unsigned enactment a defeat for the White House. Sen. Elizabeth Warren celebrated the law and argued that Trump had failed to stop it. BREAKING: the clock struck midnight and our bipartisan housing bill is now law. Trump refused to sign it, but he couldn't stop it. This law is GROUNDBREAKING. It will build more housing, bring down costs, and for the first time, stop private equity from buying up homes. — Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) July 11, 2026 That spin leaves out one rather large fact: Trump had the power to veto the housing bill and chose not to use it. Warren is right about the law’s status. She is wrong to pretend the President was somehow surprised by the outcome. He knew the clock. He knew the vote totals. He knew exactly what would happen at midnight. The strategy gave both fights room to continue. Families get a housing law designed to build more homes and push institutional buyers back from the front of the line. At the same time, Trump keeps the spotlight on senators who have not passed proof-of-citizenship and voter-ID protections. It is also a useful reminder that a presidential signature means more than legal validity. It is an endorsement, a photograph, a ceremony, and a political reward. Congress got the law. It did not get the reward. Now Senate Republicans have to decide whether they are comfortable entering the midterms with a housing victory in one hand and an unfinished election-integrity promise in the other. President Trump has already told them which one he expects next. Photo: Tony Webster via Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.0. Cropped from the original.

An alleged plan to attack President Trump and a crowd gathered on the White House lawn has now become one nationwide federal conspiracy case. Eight men face charges in Ohio over what prosecutors describe as a drone-and-sniper plot aimed at the UFC Freedom 250 event held June 14. The newest indictment does more than add another name. It pulls defendants arrested across several states into the same two-count case, identifies an alleged sniper taken into custody this week, and lays out a target list that reached the highest levels of government. A current post captured the scale of what prosecutors say was under discussion.
