LOS ANGELES (AP) — A winter storm unleashed mudslides in Southern California wildfire burn areas and trapped motorists on a major highway, and the northern part of the state is bracing for more wet weather.Saturday's deluge loosened hillsides in Malibu where a major fire burned last year, clogging the Pacific Coast Highway with mud and debris.The scenic route remains closed Sunday as crews tow away trapped cars and clear lanes. No injuries are reported.Rainfall caused delays Saturday at San Francisco International Airport.Forecasters say another strong system will bring rain and snow to Northern California beginning late Sunday.Motorists are urged to use caution on mountain roads, where up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) of snow could fall in the Sierra NevadaPCH is now closed from Las Posas Rd in Ventura County to Encinal Canyon Rd in Malibu until at least Jan. 6 due to mudslides & flooding.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities lifted all evacuation orders as firefighters made progress Sunday on a large blaze that sent thousands fleeing homes and farms northwest of Los Angeles.Crews working in steep terrain were tamping down hotspots and keeping an eye on lingering gusts in mountain areas that could carry embers, said Ventura County Fire Capt. Steve Kaufmann."I'd say we're cautiously optimistic," Kaufmann said, citing calmer winds overall and rising humidity levels.Firefighters have contained 50% of the blaze, which has burned nearly 15 square miles (39 sq. kilometers) of dry brush and timber. Three buildings were destroyed.More than 11,000 people evacuated after the flames spread Oct. 31 during dry winds that fanned fires across the state this fall.In his first recent comments on the California fires, President Donald Trump threatened to cut U.S. aid funding to the state.California Gov. Gavin Newsom has done a "terrible job of forest management," Trump tweeted. When fires rage, the governor comes to the federal government for help. "No more," the president tweeted.Newsom replied with a tweet of his own: "You don't believe in climate change. You are excused from this conversation."The state controls a small percentage of forest land. The federal government manages most of it. Neither of the two major fires currently burning in California are on forest land.Last year Trump made a similar threat as wildfires devastated Malibu and Paradise, California — accusing the state of "gross mismanagement" of forests.At the time Newsom defended California's wildfire prevention efforts while criticizing the federal government for not doing enough to help protect the state.In Northern California, more people returned to areas evacuated from a huge fire that burned for days in the Sonoma County wine country.The 121-square-mile (313-square-kilometer) fire was 76% contained on Sunday, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.The tally of destroyed homes reached 175 and there were 35 more damaged, authorities said. Many other structures also burned.The causes of both fires were under investigation but there was a possibility that electrical lines might have been involved — as was the case at other recent fires.Southern California Edison said Friday that it re-energized a 16,000-volt power line 13 minutes before the fire erupted in the same area of Ventura County.Edison and other utilities around the state shut off power to hundreds of thousands of people last week out of concerns that high winds could cause power lines to spark and start fires.Southern California Edison will cooperate with investigators, the utility said. 2687

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A gang member convicted of murdering a 19-year-old Marine from Camp Pendleton, who was found shot inside his car in South Los Angeles in 2016, was sentenced Monday to 100 years to life in prison and a co- defendant was handed a 50 years-to-life term. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy said she believed the two men convicted in the killing of Lance Cpl. Carlos Segovia-Lopez acted ``on the spur of the moment,'' adding that Oscar Aguilar ``was going to use that gun on somebody.'' Aguilar, 28, was convicted in May, along with fellow gang member Esau Rios, 31, of one count each of first-degree murder and shooting at an occupied motor vehicle, and jurors found true allegations that Segovia-Lopez's killing on Sept. 16, 2016, was committed in association with or for the benefit of a criminal street gang. Jurors also found Aguilar guilty of one count of possession of a firearm by a felon, and found true an allegation that he personally discharged a handgun. RELATED: Alleged gang members charged in slaying of Camp Pendleton-based Marine``I think a prison term of 100 years to life is sufficient,'' Kennedy said of Aguilar's sentence. Rios' attorney urged the judge not to impose the gun enhancement and hand down a sentence of 25 years to life for his client, who he said had no criminal record and ``was in fact drunk when the crime was committed.'' Deputy District Attorney Carmelia Mejia countered that Rios was ``roaming the streets with a known gang member'' and ``continued (in jail) to show his dedication to his ... gang life and with that, a life of crime.'' Before imposing Rios' 50-year sentence, Kennedy said, ``The defendant encouraged the co-defendant to pull the trigger.'' RELATED: Funeral held for Camp Pendleton Marine shot, killed driving in LAThe victim's mother offered a tearful statement to the court, barely able to speak through her sobs at the outset. ``Carlos was smart, sweet, kind, sincere,'' Sandra Lopez Juarez told the court. ``I've been a single mother. So in my house, he was a father figure for my kids, a great support for me.'' She said her son volunteered with the homeless, tutored children in a USC-sponsored program and worked with the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. Hundreds of people came to the hospital to pray when her son was on life support and ``all of them had a story to tell about him,'' she told the court, adding that she keeps his life-size photo in a room at her home and she and her daughters blow out candles on his birthday cake each year. On Mother's Day and her birthday, her son would cook for her and bring her flowers, she said. ``He can't bring me flowers anymore, so I bring him flowers,'' Lopez- Juarez said of her trips to the cemetery. ``I believe in the United States justice,'' Lopez-Juarez, who was born in El Salvador, told the court. ``I have been praying for justice.'' Claudia Perez, the founder of LA on Cloud 9, a nonprofit organization where the victim volunteered helping the homeless, begged the judge to impose the maximum sentence, then spoke directly to the defendants. ````You will never spend enough years in prison to make up for the life you took,'' Perez said. ``May God have mercy on your souls.'' The judge drew a contrast between the lives of the victim and the gunman. ``I've tried in vain to find something positive about Mr. Aguilar,'' Kennedy said, citing no evidence that he'd ever held a job or graduated from school. Segovia-Lopez, who was from Los Angeles, was on leave from Camp Pendleton in San Diego County when he confronted Aguilar and Rios after seeing them possibly tampering with vehicles. ``There's no evidence that Carlos tried to hurt anybody'' or threatened violence, Kennedy said, pushing back against a defense sentencing memo citing provocation. Aguilar and Rios had been hanging out together and drinking. At Rios' direction, Aguilar approached the Marine, who was sitting in his Dodge Charger at 31st Street and St. Andrews Place, and shot him once in the head, according to testimony. Segovia-Lopez was found covered in blood and slumped over the steering wheel. He was taken off life support three days later after doctors informed his family that he could not be saved. Aguilar and Rios were arrested by Los Angeles police nearly two months later, and have remained behind bars since then. ``There's a certain irony here that Carlos joins the military to defend his country and yet he's shot to death unarmed, out of uniform in the streets of Los Angeles,'' the judge said at the sentencing hearing. As a juvenile, Aguilar was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon with great bodily injury in 2008 and also has prior convictions for felony vandalism, criminal threats and possession for transportation or sale of narcotics, according to the District Attorney's Office. Another co-defendant, Ricky Valente, 21, pleaded no contest to being an accessory after the fact and was sentenced in June to three years probation. At an October 2016 memorial service for Segovia-Lopez at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti praised his work with the homeless. ``For Carlos, that was not some class of other people. That was his brother,'' Garcetti said. ``At a moment when we want to denigrate each other because of where we come from, what uniforms we serve, or we think we know people before we know them, let us all stop and learn and find who we are -- the connections that unite us, not the ones that divide us,'' Garcetti said. ``Let us make the passing of Carlos something that bring us together in service and love and unity. At the end of our days we're left with two things: who did we know and what did we do. By that measure, Carlos, you left and led the most blessed of lives.'' 5808

LONDON (AP) — Angelina Jolie has not ruled out a move into politics — and has joked that she might be tough enough to take the rough and tumble that comes with it.The American actress and U.N. envoy told BBC radio she "can take a lot on the chin" — a possible reference to her bitter divorce from Brad Pitt.When asked if she is moving in the direction of politics, the 43-year-old Oscar winner said, "I honestly will do whatever I think can really make change."Jolie is a special envoy for the U.N. refugee agency. She used her slot as a "guest editor" on the BBC to highlight refugee issues in the Middle East.She also included Chinese artist Ai Weiwei and Nobel Peace Prize winner Denis Mukwege on the show. 717

LOS ANGELES (AP) — More than 700,000 immigrants are waiting on applications to become U.S. citizens, a process that once typically took about six months but has stretched to more than two years in some places under the administration of President Donald Trump.The long wait times have prompted some immigrant advocates to ask whether the delays are aimed at keeping anti-Trump voters from casting ballots in elections."People are motivated to participate, and they're being frustrated from being able to participate in the elections they're excited about," said Manuel Pastor, director of the University of Southern California's Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration.The number of immigrants aspiring to become U.S. citizens surged during 2016, jumping 27 percent from a year earlier as Trump made cracking down on immigration a central theme of his presidential campaign. At first, the federal government kept up with the applications, but then the wait grew.Backlogs are nothing new in the U.S. immigration system. It often takes years to receive asylum or to be deported. But naturalization — the final step to become an American citizen, obtain a U.S. passport and receive voting rights — had not been subject to such delays in recent years.Now the average wait time for officials to decide on applications is more than 10 months. It takes up to 22 months in Atlanta and as long as 26 months in parts of Texas, according to official estimates.Trump tweeted on Thursday that Central American migrants headed north in a U.S.-bound caravan should return home and can apply for American citizenship if they wish. "Go back to your Country and if you want, apply for citizenship like millions of others are doing!" he posted as thousands continued their trek through Mexico.But immigrants generally must be legal permanent residents of the United States to apply for citizenship and getting a green card can take years — if a person even qualifies for one.U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said the longer waits to naturalize are because of the surge in applications, not slower processing. The agency decided 850,000 cases in 2017, up 8 percent from a year before.Despite "a record and unprecedented" spike in applications, the agency is operating more efficiently and effectively and "outperforming itself," spokesman Michael Bars said in a statement.To become an American citizen, immigrants must hold green cards for at least three years, demonstrate good moral character and pass English and civics tests.Citizenship applications typically rise before an increase in filing fees and during presidential election years as immigrants get excited about the prospect of voting and advocacy groups conduct widespread outreach to try to get more eligible voters to the polls.Enrique Robles, 32, said he applied to naturalize as soon as he was eligible after living in the U.S. most of his life. When he didn't hear about the status of his application, Robles, who is originally from Mexico, started to worry.More than a year later, he said, he was called to an interview where an immigration officer questioned whether he should have been issued a green card in the first place, a concern he was able to quickly dispel by explaining that his father had legitimately sponsored him."With this administration, it feels like more they are looking for possibilities to kick people out," said Robles, who took his citizenship oath in September.Keeping potential citizens from voting could have an effect, but it could also drive their relatives and friends to the polls in greater numbers."The naturalization delays have a huge cost in stopping some people" from voting, but they "have a huge impact in motivating others," said Jeremy Robbins, executive director of New American Economy, a bipartisan group in support of immigration.Competitive districts that have a large number of foreign-born residents are likely to be among those where naturalization delays could matter most. Those include districts in California's Orange County and in Texas and New Jersey, Robbins said.At a recent naturalization ceremony in Los Angeles, some new citizens said the process seemed long to them, while others said it flew by in a matter of months. Key for many was being able to travel with an American passport and being able to vote.Sameeha Alkamalee Jabbar, 38, who is from Sri Lanka, said the process took 10 months and at times she worried about the backlog. She wants to vote next month because "every vote counts" — and especially because her husband is seeking re-election to a school board seat in Orange County."This is home now," she said, wearing a stars-and-stripes hijab. "I love the United States of America."Immigrant advocates recently filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles demanding records from the Trump administration on the delays. They questioned whether wait times were longer in electoral battleground states and said that could suggest voter suppression.Juliana Cabrales, Mid-Atlantic director of civic engagement at the NALEO Educational Fund, which supports Latino participation in politics, said the group is focused on driving voter turnout in the midterm elections but will quickly pivot to encouraging immigrants to apply for citizenship if they want to vote for president in 2020."Right now, we're finding ourselves in this space, in places like Miami and New York, where processing times are 21 months," she said. "If you want to vote in 2020 you have to apply (to naturalize) now." 5514
