Davis officials said city police did not cooperate with federal immigration agents Thursday, despite an officer issuing a citation to a driver for improperly honking a car horn during an immigration enforcement operation. “I know these reports are troubling, but let’s not rush to judgment and assume negative intent,” Davis City Manager Daryel Dunston said in a statement posted to the city’s Facebook page . “Let’s allow space for the administrative review process to run its course. If it is found that internal policies were violated, it will be addressed accordingly.” City officials said a Davis police officer spotted a driver “excessively sounding their vehicle’s horn” shortly after 10 a.m. near Cowell Boulevard and Lillard Drive.

The city said it was reviewing the incident to determine whether the officer violated any city policies or regulations. “We understand how this interaction may be perceived by members of our community, particularly those concerned about federal immigration enforcement,” the city’s statement read. “An incident like this can create the perception that local law enforcement is assisting federal immigration authorities and potentially undermine the trust we work hard to maintain.

Democrat declares win, Republican doesn't concede in Sacramento-area Assembly race

Democrat Amy Slavensky declared victory Friday evening in the competition for a Sacramento County Assembly seat over Republican incumbent Josh Hoover. Her lead grew to 53.1% of the vote for the 7th Assembly District after the county released updated results earlier in the day. They are separated by more than 7,000 ballots. “I’m ready to go to work for the people, no matter who they are, where they come from, or who they voted for, because that’s how I serve and that’s the job,” she said in a statement. But Hoover said he was not ready to concede. “I just think it’s way too early,” he said. “We want to let the elections officials do their job.” The district includes Citrus Heights, Folsom and Rancho Cordova and has 14,000 more Democrats than Republicans. Yet Hoover has held the seat since he upset a Democratic incumbent in 2022. The contest is one of several Democrats are hoping to flip so they can expand their supermajority in the Legislature. The seat overlaps with parts of the 6th Senate District, where Republican incumbent Roger Niello, R-Fair Oaks, is only leading by a slim margin . Sacramento County election officials will release more results

Ghim said. He went on to say that it’s important that more votes be counted before declaring a winner.
