State Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, said companies Novolex Holdings, Inteplast Group and Mettler Packaging violated a state law passed in 2014 that banned plastic bags at grocery store checkouts that weren't recyclable. Under the law, shoppers could pay 10 cents for thicker plastic bags that needed to be reusable and recyclable. But the makers of the bags labeled them as recyclable even though they were not - recycling facilities cannot process them and they end up dumped in landfills, incinerated, or in the state's waterways, Bonta said.

His latest assertion that he was going to come to San Francisco. On what basis? He didn't even claim, there's no pretext anymore. Let's disabuse ourselves that there has to be a pretext with Donald Trump, that there's anything that would justify that there's no existing protest in a federal building, there's no operation that's being impeded. I guess it's just a training ground for the president of the United States. It is grossly illegal. It's immoral. It's rather delusional.

"Plastic bag companies have continued to distribute plastic bags that are not recyclable in California and mislead Californians about their bags recyclability," Bonta said. "In fact, even when consumers have properly disposed of these plastic bags, they've overwhelmingly not been recycled in California and couldn't have been recycled. The thing is, producers knew, or should have known this fact years ago."

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration violated federal law in the use of National Guard troops amid Southern California immigration enforcement operations and accompanying protests. Judge Charles Breyer found President Donald Trump's administration violated federal law by sending troops to the Los Angeles area. The judge in San Francisco did not require the remaining troops withdrawn, however.

UPS has agreed to pay $1.7 million to settle a lawsuit regarding the improper disposal of hazardous waste, affecting 45 California counties.
