Climbing into the car felt too personal. Like walking into a person’s bedroom, Shoreline resident Chris Megargee said. The detritus of fatherhood was everywhere: scattered toys and a neatly packed bag of apple slices, crackers and a juice box on the passenger seat. On the floor was a bag of tamales Ivan Guzman, a local cook, had just bought for that day’s lunch, still warm. “I’m a dad. It was the stuff of family life. Of a dad,” Megargee, a local activist, said. “He should still be in the car.” Megargee was tasked with driving Guzman’s car to his workplace after federal agents detained him about 8:30 a.m. Sunday. Guzman was driving his son to day care before work when four unmarked vehicles surrounded his car, blocking two lanes of Aurora Avenue near North 163rd Street. Masked and armed federal agents emerged and arrested Guzman. They left his 2-year-old son sitting alone in the back seat for about 40 minutes, eyewitnesses said. The arrest quickly drew concern from community members and passersby. Five days before, ICE agents detained a 5-year-old boy in Minnesota. A photo of him went viral, showing his scared eyes staring out under the brim of a blue, bunny-ear hat while an agent held onto the back of his Spiderman backpack.

James Lee also wrote that students could get an additional $50,000 if a “desirable result” was achieved, and offered $250,000 to current or former adult mentors if they cooperated with the family.

"On Wednesday morning, Los Angeles Times Executive Editor Terry Tang and Managing Editor Hector Becerra contacted the newspaper’s owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, seeking to “set the record straight” about an important matter, according to a message Becerra posted in the company's Slack channel. Their concern: Soon-Shiong had endorsed “unfair and false” claims about reporter Jaclyn Cosgrove on the "Ask Dr. Drew" podcast."
