F.B.I. Letters Send Shivers Through California’s Political Inner Circle

The indictment of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s former chief of staff shocked many power players in California. Now, some wonder how far the investigation will spread.

California lobbyists soaked in the sun at a Maui resort last week, attending conference sessions about energy and manufacturing in the morning, and relaxing on the beach in the afternoon. For them, it was an annual escape after spending much of the year trying to muscle laws through the state legislature in Sacramento.

Letters from the F.B.I. landed this month in the mailboxes of California’s political class, notifying recipients that their phone calls and text messages were captured on a wiretap last year. The unwelcome correspondence began to arrive almost immediately after Gov. Gavin Newsom’s former chief of staff was indicted on 23 felony charges.

The corruption case — and the F.B.I. letters that followed — has sent shivers through Sacramento’s close-knit community of lobbyists, government aides and elected officials.

Many have worked together for decades in a several-block radius around the majestic State Capitol building, drinking at the same watering holes, dining on clients’ tabs and trading political war stories.

DHS Raid on San Antonio Nightclub Nets 150 Arrests Including Gang Members

A federal task force led by the Department of Homeland Security arrested over 150 undocumented immigrants at the site, including 27 suspected Tren de Aragua gang members. They seized firearms, narcotics, and $35,000 in cash, with two suspects now facing probes into human smuggling and money laundering. Luis Amador Castillo-Hernandez, 37, alleged club operator and gang affiliate, was arrested days later for selling cocaine to an FBI informant. DHS praised the multi- agency effort to remove criminal networks from city streets.
