The More videos: unidentified person in the uniform then tried to open the homeowner’s door, but it was locked. The fake deputy, later determined to be the 14-year-old, got back into the Explorer and left after a short confrontation with the caller.

During the investigation, authorities learned the boy had interacted with two other people as a peace officer later that same night.
He pulled over a woman in the area of Amethyst Road and after getting her information, he gave her a warning and let her go, the statement said.

The 14-year-old told the 16-year-old he was investigating a domestic disturbance, much like investigators allege he told the person on Mica Avenue.
“When he was told, there was no disturbance, the suspect left,” officials said.
Authorities learned the Explorer belonged to the 14-year-old’s great-grandmother, with whom he lived, according to Rodriguez.

Followers of the ecologically dubious and largely pointless Cadiz water project in the Mojave Desert might have pricked up their ears last week at reports of a possible conflict of interest involving Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, and the investment firm Apollo Global Management.
That's because Apollo is a sizable investor in Cadiz, which has received favorable regulatory treatment from the Trump administration after years of thumbs-down rulings under the Obama administration and

from local and state officials. Apollo and Cadiz announced the $60-million investment, along with a "conditional" $240 million in construction financing, on May 2.

The New York Times reported on Feb. 28 that the Kushner family's real estate firm received a $184- million refinancing loan in November from Apollo after meetings at the White House between Kushner and Joshua Harris, an Apollo founder who was advising the administration on infrastructure policy. ABC News followed with a report that the Securities and Exchange Commission had dropped an inquiry into Apollo after the loan. Spokespersons for Kushner and Apollo denied there was a quid pro quo in either case.

Apollo and Cadiz say that's true in their case too. "Josh Harris never talked with Jared Kushner about the Cadiz Valley Water Conservation, Recovery & Storage Project," the investment firm told me. "There is no connection whatsoever between Apollo's business with the Kushner Cos. and any government action regarding the Cadiz Valley project." Cadiz spokeswoman Courtney Degener also said that "Apollo had nothing to do with" the Interior Department's regulatory green light for the project.
But the connections between Kushner and Apollo underscore the ethical quagmire of the Trump White House. Because Kushner hasn't divested his business interests despite holding down a key position in the

administration, any decision made by Trump's White House that affects Kushner's business partners is automatically suspect. It is unclear what role, if any, Kushner had in moving the Cadiz project forward.
Under Trump, the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management began signaling a favorable stance on Cadiz even before Apollo's investment. The $250-million Cadiz project appeared, apparently at the behest of building trades unions, on a list of proposed infrastructure projects the Trump transition team circulated prior to the inauguration. And the water project, which would traverse an environmentally sensitive portion of the Mojave and a federal ecological preserve, fits in well with what appears to be Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's predilection to despoil protected lands coast to coast.
As my colleague Bettina Boxall reported, the BLM said on March 29 it was revoking two Obama-era legal guidances that had blocked Cadiz plans to run a water pipeline along an old railroad right-of- way. But the bureau formalized its decision in two documents issued Sept. 1 and Oct. 13, after Apollo became a Cadiz investor.
COLUMN Cadiz told me via How you can tell Trump cares nothing about water: He's supporting the ridiculous Cadiz project email that the Trump administration's APR 06, 2017 | 3:15 PM favorable treatment of its water project results from "support from labor, business and other community organizations … and strong bipartisan concern" about BLM policies. In May, Congress lifted a rider that barred BLM from spending money on Cadiz without federal approval. That was the result of a bipartisan act of legislation, Cadiz said, not "a function of any relationship that might exist between Apollo and Mr. Kushner." That would be more convincing had Apollo not made a business deal with Jared Kushner that theoretically could have prompted Kushner to do Apollo a favor in return.
Kushner's dual loyalties have "opened the door to what may be serious conflicts of interest — and certainly to the appearance of such conflicts," three experts in government ethics wrote Wednesday. That's a problem for anyone doing business with Kushner, too, because favorable outcomes for them can appear to

be the product of corruption.
It's proper to examine the chronology of the Trump administration's treatment of the Cadiz project in light of Apollo's involvement. It may be even more important because one of the hallmarks of Cadiz virtually from the moment its water project first bubbled to the surface in the mid-1990s was its political connections.
First there was the friendship between former Gov. Gray Davis and Keith Brackpool, the company's British-born founder. After Davis left office, Brackpool emerged as a buddy of then-Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa — whom Cadiz even employed for a while after he left office. Brackpool also was a friend and employer of Susan P. Kennedy, who subsequently served in the Arnold Schwarzenegger administration as chief of staff, with responsibility for infrastructure policy.
Davis and Villaraigosa exerted pressure on the Metropolitan Water District to approve the Cadiz project, despite profound skepticism about the scheme on the MWD board and staff. The MWD finally rejected the plan in 2002.
Cadiz's political connections reached into the Trump administration before Apollo invested in the company. On April 28, Trump nominated David Bernhardt, a partner in the law firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, as deputy secretary of the Interior. Bernhardt was confirmed on July 24. His law firm collected more than $3.1 million in lobbying fees from Cadiz from 2010 through last year, according to COLUMN the Center for Responsive Politics. Scott Slater, Trump's infrastructure plan: no money, no action, no surprise a member of the law firm's executive committee, is CEO of Cadiz. FEB 12, 2018 | 2:45 PM The basic pitch of the Cadiz water project is that it will store surplus water in an aquifer underlying its 33,000-acre desert property 200 miles east of Los Angeles for use in dry periods. Cadiz also would draw groundwater from the aquifer. For the MWD, which was expected to transport the water in its aqueduct, the project didn't pencil out. In part, this was because Cadiz Inc. didn't appear to have the money to finance its end of what was then an estimated construction budget of $150 million. The company was loaded with debt and had never turned an annual profit. (It still hasn't.)
Environmental studies also raised questions about the impact of the proposal to draw as much as 50,000 acre-feet of water out of the aquifer, which the company said could be recharged from natural precipitation. A U.S. Geological Survey estimate concluded that was as much as 25 times what could be responsibly extracted without risking the aquifer's contamination. The Cadiz estimate, the USGS said, was "not defensible."
After MWD rejected its water scheme, Cadiz worked up a plan to transport water in a 43-mile pipeline

using an old railroad right-of-way across the desert. Under Obama, the BLM blocked that plan by ruling that the pipeline didn't qualify as a railroad-related use. Under Trump, the bureau reversed itself. That has drawn a legal challenge from the Center for Biological Diversity, which says in a federal lawsuit filed in February that the pipeline would cross part of the Mojave Trails National Monument that Obama established in 2016 and would have devastating ecological effects.
"The impact of BLM's determination on the fragile desert environment cannot be overstated," the lawsuit says.
Cadiz maintains that the persistent drought in Southern California makes its project especially desirable. That's highly questionable. The drought reduces the likelihood that there will be much surplus water to store beneath the desert. And reduced precipitation

Why Apollo would be interested in Cadiz isn't entirely clear. In financial terms, the $60-million loan doesn't appear to be an especially promising investment, though from Apollo's standpoint it's a small one — it's part of a $750-million "special situations" investment fund, which targets long-term infrastructure projects among others. The investment amounts to a bit over 2/100ths of a percent of Apollo's total $250 billion under management.
The loan carries an interest rate of 8%, of which only 2% is to be paid in cash; the rest is a "payment in kind," meaning it gets added to the principal balance as it accrues. So Apollo collects $1.2 million a year in cash interest. The firm also received a $1.2-million up-front fee to make the loan.
Apollo also acquired the right to buy up to 362,500 shares of Cadiz at $14.94 per share. The stock is trading at about $14. For those warrants to generate even $1 million in gains, the shares would have to hit almost $18.
As for the $240 million in "construction financing," that's so conditional that it barely rises to the level of a

commitment. Cadiz would have to line up all its government approvals, along with significant commitments from customers for its water, and pass a budget and architectural review — and Apollo still would have the discretion to refuse to make the loan.
Put it all together and this deal resembles what a craps player would call "betting on the come." It's conceivable that lightning might strike and the Cadiz water project will get built, in which case Apollo could collect all the interest deferred on the $60-million loan, record gains on the stock warrants and issue a potentially lucrative construction loan of $240 million. There's a long, long road to travel before any of that could come to fruition. The actions of the Trump administration, however, have shortened that road.

Dolores Huerta, civil rights icon, encourages the audience to help others and deemphasizes money. She notes that Caesar Chavez, who she co-founded the United Farm Workers Association with, died with $6,000. “You can’t take it with you. I’ve never seen a hearse followed by a U-Haul,” Huerta says at San Bernardino Valley College, Calif. on Wednesday, March 7, 2018. (PHOTO BY CINDY YAMANAKA, SAN BERNARDINO SUN/SCNG)

Early Wednesday, a few hours before Dolores Huerta spoke to a couple hundred men and women at San Bernardino Valley College, Deana Silagy met the renowned civil rights activist.
It was like “shaking hands with history,” Silagy said.
Silagy, a veteran counselor at SBVC, was among the audience that heard Huerta speak about issues such as education and access to education, immigration, women’s rights and political representation.
The 87-year-old concluded her hour-long lecture by leading the crowd in her famous rallying cry: “Si Se Puede.”
Bruce Baron, San Bernardino Community College District chancellor, called the gathering “an historic moment” for the college and for the district.
“Dolores Huerta is such an important historical figure nationally, and especially for California,” said George Hammons, 63, of Pomona, who noted Huerta’s words still are pertinent today. “To hear her speak, I knew I had to be here.” “Every one of us owes a debt of gratitude to the work of Dolores Huerta and César Chávez,” John Longville, a longtime friend of Huerta’s and a district trustee, told the audience before Huerta took the stage to a standing ovation.
Huerta, the co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America labor union, discussed the importance of such unions today. Without them, she said, there is no middle class, and with no middle class, she added, there is no democracy.
Huerta, the mother of 11, stressed the need for educating children on leaders of color. Also, the immigrants of color “who built this country,” she said. Respect is needed for people who work with their hands, she added.
She urged those in attendance to elect progressive candidates who represent their values. Know your school district officials, city council members and state representatives, she said. Vote, she continued. “You’ve got to take the power … to dismantle systems of oppression.”
“It’s great to march,” she added. “It’s great to protest. But if you don’t take it to the polls, if you don’t vote, nothing changes.”
A champion of women’s rights, Huerta encouraged women to be assertive, to take a stand. She explained her role in the 1965-1970 Delano Grape Strike and Boycott and how she nurtured future generations of activists by taking her children to demonstrations.
“The only support system a woman has is herself,” she said.
Various San Bernardino Valley College clubs, centers and committees, as well as Cal State San Bernardino, collaborated to organize the event. Guests lined up after the lecture to meet Huerta, and the 2017 documentary “Dolores” was screened at 4 p.m.
Before ceding the stage, Huerta called the crowd to action:
“Leave a legacy of justice,” she said.
“All of us have some way to help others. But never expect a reward or compensation.”
Lastly, “The power is in the person. If we do not do the work, nobody will do it for us.”
