Operating with virtual impunity in Los Angeles for years, con artists have long targeted immigrants desperate for help to become U.S. citizens and other expert legal help, defrauding them of life savings and only hastening their deportation or other disasters. But a new fraud unit at the district attorney's office has been targeting the fraudsters since 2017, prosecuting eight cases that cheated at least 300 immigrants out of at least $3 million, prosecutors announced Tuesday.

The #MeToo movement has sent dozens of once-powerful men in Hollywood into exile, but it has yet to put many of them in handcuffs or courtrooms. Weinstein has been charged with sexual assault in New York and Bill Cosby has been sent to prison in Pennsylvania in the year since stories on Weinstein in The New York Times and The New Yorker set off waves of revelations of sexual misconduct in Hollywood. But those two central figures have been exceptions. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File)

A police officer who shot and killed an unarmed homeless man near the Venice boardwalk last year violated departmental policy, the Police Commission ruled Tuesday, March 6, 2018. The civilian panel concluded that Officer Clifford Proctor wasn't justified in shooting Brendon Glenn twice in the back as Glenn, 29, was on the ground last May 5. The officers tried to detain Glenn after reports that he had been harassing people and they saw him struggling with a bar bouncer, police said. (Los Angeles District Attorney's Office via AP)
