The Trump administration's plans to crack down on immigration and launch mass deportations could drain caregivers from the workforce as California and the country face the needs of an aging population,

There's been no let-up in the war of words between President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom as Trump arrives in Los Angeles to survey damage from the recent horrific wildfires.

Newsom and California are frequently the target of Trump’s ire. Some of his most memorable criticisms of the state have been over how it manages its wildlands in the face of wildfire risk. In his first term, Trump suggested California should be “raking” their forests to clean up dead brush and trees.

The visit came the day after a new ballot initiative asking voters whether the state should become an independent country was cleared by the California Secretary of State's office to begin gathering signatures. Could the Golden State just fly the coop, become its own nation and walk away from 175 years of union with the United States?

At least 28 people are believed to be dead and more than a dozen others remain unaccounted for as multiple wildfires rage across Southern California.

Crews spent much of the past week removing vegetation, shoring up slopes and reinforcing roads in devastated areas of the Palisades and Eaton fires, which reduced entire neighborhoods to rubble and ash after breaking out during powerful winds Jan.

A new bid to place a measure on the ballot that would ask California voters to approve the state's secession from the U.S. has been cleared for signature gathering.

With many parts of Los Angeles County still smoldering from wildfires, the expected rain this weekend would seem like a welcome relief. But how the rain falls could make the difference between a disaster respite or a disaster repeat.

President Trump has called on California Gov. Gavin Newsom to "release the water." and claimed FEMA lacked the funds to respond to the L.A. fires. Here's what to know.

Portland Fire & Rescue fire inspector Christine Pezzulo was riding in a convoy of five fire engines and a task support vehicle as firefighters pulled into the sprawling parking lot of a fire station on Saturday morning when she saw them: her wife and two kids.

Rain on the way to parched Southern California on Saturday will aid firefighters mopping up multiple wildfires. But heavy downpours on charred hillsides could bring the threat of new troubles like toxic ash runoff.
