1. A judge says she intends to order the Department of Motor Vehicles to give 20,000 immigrants facing the cancellation of their commercial driver’s licenses… a way to get them BACK.

2. The Moreno Valley Mall closed last week due to a long list of safety violations. On Thursday, Moreno Valley’s city council held a special meeting to discuss how to get the mall reopened. But as KVCR’s Anthony Victoria reports, the mall’s owners must fix significant fire hazards first.
