The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) reportedly instructed all city flags on department facilities to remain at full staff, unless Mayor Karen Bass explicitly orders otherwise—contradicting President Trump’s proclamation to lower U.S. flags nationwide in memory of Charlie Kirk. The directive stipulated that flags remain fully raised from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day at LAFD facilities.
FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly defied strong internal opposition to publicly release video footage of the Charlie Kirk assassination suspect, Tyler Robinson—footage that ultimately led to the suspect’s identification and arrest.
