Aaron M. Sprecher/AP What To Know Police were called to the Motel 6 in the 12700 block of LBJ Freeway just after 5 a.m. on June 20 for reports of a shooting, according to the Garland Police Department. Officers found Morales with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died, Fox 4 reported. Four witnesses who arrived with Morales were interviewed at the scene. One woman told police she had been robbed earlier and that Morales began messaging the suspects while posing as a prostitute to set up a meeting at Motel 6, according to the arrest affidavit obtained by Fox 4. Surveillance footage shows a pickup carrying Morales arriving at the motel around 4:21 a.m., followed by a Toyota and a gray Acura, according to the outlet. Just after 5 a.m., Morales confronted a man from the Toyota, leading to a struggle. A second suspect arrived and shot Morales, while the third suspect, driving the Acura, pulled up to the scene before all three fled in the Acura and Toyota, Fox 4 reported. Morales was left motionless and bleeding. Two women from the pickup approached his body. One appeared to call 911. The first officer arrived at 5:19 a.m. and began first aid, according to Fox 4. Detectives later linked the incident to an earlier robbery that morning at the Deluxe Inn on Leon Road. Surveillance video showed the same Acura and Toyota from the Motel 6 scene, Fox 4 reported. A woman at the Deluxe Inn told police that two Hispanic men forced their way into her room, held her at gunpoint, sexually assaulted her, and stole money and jewelry before leaving, the outlet said. She later identified the men in the Motel 6 surveillance video as her attackers. Police then arrested Jimenez, Bellorin-Guzman and Trivino-Cruz, Fox 4 reported. Jimenez told investigators that the group had committed more than 25 robberies, often targeting sex workers, who they believed were unlikely to report the crimes. Trivino-Cruz said they had committed two additional robberies earlier that day, according to Fox 4. What People Are Saying Garland Police Department wrote on Facebook: "Investigators believe this to be an isolated incident and are actively working to determine the events leading up to the shooting." What Happens Next Authorities have not confirmed the countries of origin for the suspects. The investigation remains ongoing, according to the Garland Police Department.

Irvine man charged with hate crimes against Latino men, accused of racial slurs and throwing hot coffee
An Irvine man was charged with hate crimes against Latino men after he was videotaped allegedly hurling racial slurs and throwing hot coffee on one man and punching an elderly man. Robert Tackett, a 54-year-old Irvine resident, was charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm, a felony count of violation of civil rights, a felony count of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury and a felony count of inflicting injury on an elder adult, according to an Orange County District Attorney's Office news release. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of eight years in state prison, officials said. He is being held on $500,000 bail at the Orange County Jail. According to the release, Tackett had a 'negative interaction with the driver of a garbage truck' and the incident was filmed by another driver. Tackett allegedly followed the driver who filmed him, tried to run him off the road and slam into his vehicle, and yelled 'anti-Hispanic racial slurs.' Tackett allegedly tried twice to crash into the driver's vehicle and threw a hot cup of coffee onto the car and driver, authorities said. The driver didn't call police but was identified after he posted the video on social media. In a video obtained by KTLA5, a man later identified as Tackett was seen driving a white work van and swerving into the lane of the driver, who was taking the video. In a second incident around 5:30 p.m. on the same day, Tackett is accused of getting out of his van after stopping at a stoplight in Westminster and punching a 72-year-old driver through the window of his pickup truck 'while yelling profanity and anti-Hispanic slurs,' authorities said. Another driver recorded the alleged attack and called the Irvine Police Department after seeing the video of the first attack on social media, officials said. Tackett was arrested by California Highway Patrol on July 24 in Mammoth, officials said. 'Hate is a venom that poisons everything — and everyone — it touches. An attack motivated by hate is not an attack on just a single individual; it is an attack on the very fabric of our society and our community as a whole,' said Orange County Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer in the release. .

Deportations are taking a toll on California's economy - and have only just begun
ICE raids and mass deportations could cost California $275 billion in lost wages and other funds, a report finds. Lupe Lopez can't help but notice that business and foot traffic are painfully slow these days in the predominantly Hispanic neighborhood of East San Jose, California. "A lot more people are either staying closer to home or not coming out at all," said Lopez, 69, whose family owns nine Arteagas Food Center supermarkets, one of which is in East San Jose. Young people are buying in bulk, she said, because their parents are afraid of being outside, where they might be picked up by immigration agents. "We're seeing a change in shopping habits," said Lopez, co-founder of Avanzando, a nonprofit helping Latinos make advances through education. Even as the Trump administration prepares to ramp up its immigration enforcement nationwide, the focus so far in California has already hurt local economies, research and anecdotal reports suggest. One recent study estimated that the hit to California, the world's fourth-largest economy, could be as much as $275 billion. "It's a pretty massive amount that even took us by surprise," said Bay Area Council Economic Institute Research Director Abby Raisz, author of the nonprofit's June report. "We anticipated it would be big, but we didn't realize how expansive and significant a role undocumented workers play in sustaining California's economy. It's bigger than we thought." Immigration raids led to drop in California's workforce Since the report's release, the Trump administration has expanded immigration raids to include many more people without criminal records. The Department of Homeland Security said nearly 2,800 undocumented immigrants have been arrested in Greater Los Angeles. Local media reported that many were between June 6 and 22. The raids had a dramatic and immediate impact on the workforce. Almost 465,000 California workers fled from the labor ranks during the week of June 8, as immigration authorities raided worksites across the Los Angeles area, according to a July University of California, Merced study. As a result, people working in private-sector jobs in California dropped by 3.1%, a decline not seen since the COVID-19 pandemic, the study noted, though it's unclear whether they left permanently or just for a short time. California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis said immigrants are the backbone of the state's economic workforce. "They are the workers who feed us, the caretakers who support us, the entrepreneurs who drive innovation, and the neighbors who strengthen our communities," Kounalakis said in a statement. "The ripple effects of mass deportation in California would be felt nationwide and beyond." "Carry your papers": The Trump administration is telling immigrants 'Carry your papers.' Here's what to know. Report: Undocumented workers' imprint cannot be underestimated Of California's 10.6 million immigrants, 2.3 million are undocumented, according to Pew Research Center. They account for 8% of all workers statewide. Undocumented immigrants are more likely to be in the workforce than Californians born in the United States, Bay Area Council's Raisz said, with 72% of undocumented immigrants participating in the workforce compared to about 67% of native-born. Immigrants are widespread, but concentrated in certain fields and geographic areas. More than 60% of California's agricultural workers are immigrants and almost 26% are undocumented; about 41% of the state's construction workers are immigrants and 14% are undocumented, Raisz' report found. Those workers are concentrated in coastal urban areas in the Bay Area and Greater Los Angeles, as well as in agricultural hubs in the Central Valley. "These regions are critical drivers of California's economy and understanding the potential impact of deportation on local, state, and national economies has never been more critical," the report said. And even these high figures are probably an undercount, said Darlene Tenes, the executive director of Farmworker Caravan, a San Jose-based nonprofit assisting area farmworkers with some basic needs. "It's very, very difficult to document the undocumented. They are very much a shadow community," Tenes told USA TODAY. "I think it's hard to put a number on it. You have to understand, almost every industry in California uses undocumented workers." Crossroads: Farmers are facing a fork on Trump's immigration highway. So what's next? Undocumented workers' impact on agriculture, construction Raisz said her report shows how entrenched undocumented immigrants are in California and how much they contribute to their communities. "About two-thirds of them have lived here for more than a decade, and about a third own their own homes, so they pay both income and property taxes," Raisz said. Without undocumented labor, GDP generated by California's agriculture would decline by 14%, Raisz said, and the state's construction industry would see a 16% decrease. Both sectors were already experiencing labor shortages, he said, which will only be compounded by immigration crackdowns. Tenes said Americans and some parts of the world won't have access to fresh fruits and vegetables without undocumented workers, as California's coastal counties and Central Valley are consistently among the largest agricultural producers in the nation. 'Cost burdened': America's housing is pulling further out of reach, report finds "Without (undocumented workers), we don't eat, period," Tenes said. "Everything that you eat from a grocery store, strawberries, grapes, lettuce, bread, cereal, all came from the ground at some point. Guess who picks them?" About half of the nation's 4.3 million construction workers are Hispanic and as many as 1 million of them are undocumented, according to George Carillo, CEO of the Hispanic Construction Council. Thousands of those workers are in California and will be needed as the nation faces a housing shortage of around 4.5 million homes and Los Angeles recovers from this year's deadly wildfires, Carillo said. "Who do you think is going to help rebuild those homes that were lost?" Carillo said.
