Hubbard said a man confronted him, falsely accusing him of assaulting the man's brother earlier this month — an unhoused individual Hubbard said he has gotten to know.

The Department of Justice's (DOJ) Civil Rights Division on Tuesday asked a federal court to grant an injunction blocking California's ban on Glock pistols. After Democratic California Attorney General Rob Bonta refused to discuss a possible settlement with Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, the DOJ filed suit in federal court to invalidate the measure and California's "Unsafe Handgun Act," seeking a temporary restraining order against the Glock ban.
