By Maya Lau Some members of a Los Angeles County watchdog panel are calling on Sheriff Jim McDonnell to launch a thorough investigation into allegations of a secret society of deputies that brands its members with matching skull tattoos. The revelation this week that a deputy admitted to getting inked two years ago as part of a ritual within the Compton station has raised concerns that deputy cliques, long part of a controversial agency subculture, have persisted despite the department's reform efforts.

Hernan Vera, who serves on the Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission, said the deputy's admission in a lawsuit over a fatal shooting that he and as many as 20 others have the signature tattoos was "thoroughly disturbing." "It's not the kind of culture that you want to foster in the 21st century Sheriff's Department," said Vera, a principal in the law firm Bird Marella. McDonnell said that for the last year, the department has been examining See Deputies, A10 endure the hostile testing will be painstakingly transplanted into the Atlantic. For generations, marine biologists working around this stunning 360-mile coral reef made sure their research didn't disturb the fragile kaleidoscope of marine habitat so critical to the local ecosystem, not to mention a multibillion-dollar tourist economy.

The indictment obtained by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III marked the first time that he has charged Russian government officials. It portrays a complex operation, run from an office two miles from the Kremlin, involving fake identities, specially developed mal-ware and determined efforts to penetrate Democratic campaign networks and steal sensitive documents.

Friday's announcement is also the first time anyone has been charged with the theft and public release of private emails that dominated news coverage during key moments of the presidential race, embarrassing Democratic officials and Clinton's campaign. The Russians also attacked the U.S. election infrastructure, prosecutors said, hacking websites and computers that handle voter registration.

By Eli Stokols, Noah Bierman and Jackie Calmes ELLESBOROUGH, England President Trump on Friday sought to repair his newly damaged relationship with British Prime Minister Theresa May, effusively praising her at ajoint news conference after an explosive tabloid interview in which he criticized her, praised her rival and warned of an end to free trade between their countries. The president did strongly reiterate one contention from his interview Thursday with the Sun, a British tabloid owned by Trump supporter Rupert Murdoch: that immigrants were ruining Europe's culture. May, in response, countered with the sort of tribute to immigrants that used to be a staple of American leaders. Trump, echoing the language of white nationalists, said of immigration, "I do not think it's good for Europe. And I don't think it's good for our country."
