The battle continues. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. Firefighters making some gains on containing the Palisades fire in the Los Angeles area, but still so many homes and businesses destroyed as a result of that blaze. The Palisades village, and other than maybe one business over there,
The whole place is standing. It doesn't look like it was affected by the fire at all. But then literally just across the street, the building pretty much burned from the inside out. Now, conditions out here are improving. We're really not noticing any of those strong wind gusts. So that's a good thing. That's helping fires.
build on the 8% containment they have on this more than 21,000 acre fire. The other thing we are seeing is a lot of National Guard out there. They're at most of the checkpoints now. And what that's doing is freeing up law enforcement to then come into here and try to protect that property, especially with looting on the rise.
Fox's Jeff Paul in Pacific Palisades. At least 11 people are dead, over 37,000 acres burned, and the National Guard, yes, was deployed to assist law enforcement to prevent looting in the wake of the destructive L.A. area wildfires. I embedded with the California National Guard as they protect areas that have been just absolutely devastated by the wildfires. They are working around the clock again at some intersections, preventing
people from going to the houses and businesses that have been destroyed. They're helping out in a lot of ways. They want to prevent looting and keep folks away from the downed power lines and gas leaks. Dangerous situations. We're from this community too. All of our soldiers are from the California Army National Guard and we're right here close to home so we really do feel for these people. Deployed Wednesday, some of them even sleeping nearby at a California Highway Patrol communication center.
And that's Fox's Christina Coleman in Altadena, California. L.A. Mayor Karen Bass rejecting an offer from the New York Fire Department to help battle deadly wildfires scorching the Golden State.

President-elect Donald Trump sentenced on 34 felony counts in New York, though he received no punishment from the judge overseeing the case. President-elect Trump now heads to the White House as a convicted felon. The president-elect appeared on screens in the courtroom virtually from Florida. Prosecutors harshly criticized the way he has attacked the case, saying Trump
has wrongly attacked the criminal justice system. But Trump, in a somber and measured tone, lashed out at the trial, again calling it a political witch hunt. And the people of our country got to see this firsthand because they watched the case in your courtroom. Trump will now appeal the sentence. And as Judge Michon finished, he told him, Sir, I wish you Godspeed as you assume a second term in office.
At Manhattan Criminal Court, I'm Eric Sean, Fox News. Meantime, the U.S. Senate advancing an act to crack down on illegal immigration in a bipartisan vote. The Lake and Riley Act, named for a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student who was murdered by a now-convicted illegal immigrant, passed through the House and advanced in the Senate, teeing up a final vote, despite opposition from some Democrats, while others support it, like Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman. If you're here...
illegally and you're committing crimes and those things. I don't know why anybody thinks that it's controversial that they all need to go. The Lake and Riley Act would require ICE to arrest criminal illegals and detain them until they're deported and allow states to sue members of the federal government who fail to enforce immigration laws.
Jeff Manosso, Fox News. Big winter storm that dropped a heavy snow amount and glazed roads throughout the U.S. South, maintaining its grip on much of the area. Power outage numbers around Atlanta crept up last night, Friday night, as meteorologists warned of accumulating freezing rain. Thousands without power, mostly in the greater Atlanta area. Nearly 80% of all flights through Atlanta were canceled or delayed because of snow.
