By JILL LAWLESS, Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday she doesn’t think the detention of hundreds of South Koreans in an immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia will deter investment in the United States because such tough actions mean there is no uncertainty about the Trump administration’s policies. The detention of 475 workers, more than 300 of them South Korean, in the Sept. 4 raid has caused confusion, shock and a sense of betrayal among many in the U.S.-allied nation. “This is a great opportunity for us to make sure that all…
By HYUNG-JIN KIM and KIM TONG-HYUNG, Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s foreign minister departed for the U.S. on Monday to finalize steps for the return of several hundred South Korean workers detained last week in a massive immigration raid in Georgia, as the incident caused confusion, shock and a sense of betrayal among many in the U.S.-allied nation. The Sept. 4 raid on a battery factory under construction at a sprawling Hyundai auto plant in Georgia led to the detainment of 475 workers, more than 300 them South Koreans. Some of them were shown being shackled…
By ALEX VEIGA, Associated Press Business Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) — Skyrocketing housing values and a shortage of homes on the market gave homeowners the upper hand for years when it came time to sell. That’s no longer a given. Across the country, it’s getting tougher for sellers to drive a hard bargain. A dearth of home shoppers who can afford to buy and uncertainty about the outlook for the economy, jobs and mortgage rates is putting pressure on sellers to give ground at the negotiating table. In some markets, mainly in the South and West, homeowners who are eager…
By STEPHEN GROVES, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — National Guard troops patrolling the streets of U.S. cities. Weapons of war deployed against international gangs suspected of drug trafficking. Military bases and resources redirected to mass immigration enforcement operations. President Donald Trump is swiftly implementing his vision of the military as an all-powerful tool for his policy goals. It’s ground that presidents have hardly ever crossed outside of times of war, and experts say it’s remaking the role of the most powerful military in the world and its relationship with the American public.

DEL MAR — The only thing missing from Bob Baffert’s big weekend was Bob Baffert. While the Hall of Fame trainer was away in Kentucky, scouting the next wave of juvenile talent at the Keeneland Yearling Sales, 1-9 favorite Brant finished a length ahead of Desert Gate to give Baffert a 1-2 finish in the Del Mar Futurity on the 31st and final day of Del Mar’s 86th summer meeting. It’s good to be King. Brant’s win was Baffert’s fifth straight in the Futurity and 19th in the 30 editions of the 7-furlong Del Mar championship for 2-year-olds since Baffert…

INGLEWOOD — As the Texans’ plane descended upon Los Angeles ahead of their Week 1 game against the Rams, C.J. Stroud’s eyes gazed downward. Landmarks that signified his childhood, fields he competed at throughout high school, caught his eye, he said. Stroud is forever indebted to the area that raised him. “I love where I’m from,” the Rancho Cucamonga native said in the hollows of SoFi Stadium after his first NFL game in LA. “California has really backed me in a lot of ways.” For better or worse, Stroud’s local upbringing shaped him into a jaded 23-year-old, a third-year quarterback…

(Photo by Will Lester, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin/SCNG) INGLEWOOD — If there were really any doubts that Matthew Stafford would be ready for the Rams’ opening day, I suspect he didn’t share them. For much of training camp and the preseason, Stafford’s back was the most important topic, and when he was supposed to begin throwing but…
INGLEWOOD — Puka Nacua spun off of one hit that dislodged his chin strap, but, still on his feet, turned upfield. That’s when Texans linebacker Henry To’oTo’o’s helmet crashed into the Rams receiver’s, and Nacua felt hot blood trickling down his face. “Tried to come back in here [to the locker room] and make sure I could count to 10 on my hands,” Nacua said after the game. “Coming back in here, I felt like my face was on my facemask and I was standing up and it was all the way down here to the left.” And yet, as…
