As the headlines days in maxim ext was. Man max sits in a room where visits are tightly controlled. The no cameras are allowed. He cant be seen or heard. All he can do is write and this is what he says. Gang life. This was our foundation. It what we all know. And i tried to do something different. And when i met daisy, it was the best day of my life. I wish that they could have gone on forever. My past caught up with me and made us all pay the price. To like max daisy grew up in south los angeles, the place that used to be called South Central infamous for drive by shootings, gangs, and the rodney king riots. But for hundreds of thousands of families that make south l. A. Their home, thats just part of the story. Come up with a week, a thing every day. Daisy grew up here, the middle of 3 sisters in a cluster of small houses. Her dad bought about 25 years ago. They did it. We grew up in South Central bottom all away from where the l. A. Riots started. The day was most of that for me, my sister surname, 1st generation americans and my family comes straight from mexico. My dad brought all his brothers and sisters with the dreams and hopes of them having a Better Future record of a cake and blow. But it is less poverty that have been never lock us up but it is thought of her in 2002 when daisy was 15, the security her parents had worked for was shattered. Her older sister, on helicopter was shot and killed in the driveway of the family property and had finished college and was just about to start a great job. She was also raising 2 boys. The shooter was a gang member. And this fact as mark daisys life in more ways than one. Welcome to be here. There are what youre doing there. Are there any questions for me to start teaching my little bit about you. I have a bachelors in psychology, a masters in friends with psychology, and i in the counseling psychology program. Now i have dedicated my career to working with you that are involved in generational gang involvement. And if we can help more people like that, then maybe we can prevent more victims. So when you consider while shes studying for her doctorate, daisy has been working as a counselor for that risk families and their kids. But its a job that sometimes puts her in danger. See thats not good, but that i am spending this. And im going to call lists. I couldnt, i couldnt get where they were from. Why theyre over here like i like chaos at the park. They were throwing up their gang signs. See, i would be fair. He would know what to do. If daisy could call him max would know what to do. He had been a gang member for most of his life. Before he became an interventionist part of the intervention workers really, really help and they come like this just now everybody wants becomes a gang member to Florence Crown the lowest estimate is 3 percent. The highest estimate is 15 percent of the kids in those neighborhoods to become gang members. Violent crime and gang membership in los angeles has dropped in recent years as it has in other parts of the country. But people in south l. A. Are still about 3 times more likely to be murdered than in other parts of the city. And summer is the most dangerous time. In the hot months when the tempers flare, even a small class can turn deadly in the city, hires interventionists like max to work in the parks and head off any violence. Gang intervention workers still have credibility with the gas. They cannot oath. To have the respect of Law Enforcement and not snitches. So these guys live on their word. They walk a very thin line. Did no one else can really fully appreciate what these men and women do. They keep one body bag from becoming 15 body bags. Max started trying to reduce the violence about 12 years ago when he was 31. By that point he writes, all i knew was gang life in prison. And all reality, i didnt ever see me getting out. But then one day, i couldnt explain to a friends little girl why i couldnt come home for christmas. That broke my heart. And i decided i had to change well max and i would be Walking Around because i would just join him in his walk. So we would just make our presence known, you know, with the kid, with the people playing basketball inside or, you know, teenagers to like to hang out in the back. That wouldnt be going on if he was here, let me tell you that thats what i meant. Basically because the max, he had me talk to her on the phone regarding a client that was that i was service team, but he got shot in their area. The max would be on the phone, the whole phraselator and i started doing this job. I was sent out to a lot of crime scenes. I saw a lot of stuff that was very difficult to deal with. Its not easy to see a kid that youve been working with. You see him at school and then the you get a call and you seen with the sheet over him. Over a couple of years, daisy and max bonded through their passion for community work. He says, i told my go work, im going to marry her. And they said yeah, i believe you do, i believe. And they said no, no, no. Oh ok. What i am, what i do, they see a life and my pregnancy was the happiest time of my life and never felt so full of life literally. You know there was this look in his eyes. Just seen him experience something new and it just brought me joy like ive seen a little kid in thanks, alina. Oh yes yes. But its and thought nothing of a joke. You know, they say no guy. In the though were not far media can more like this, then thats so youll get out the map. But they will, thats going to say, i meant there by follow. Lets start over on the fact board up there. Yes, i could, and he solve it. Its been 6 months since baby sarah was born. Max is working on the streets. Daisy is studying for her doctorate. And sarah has 2 parents who adore me behind the gates of the family. Property. Life seems to be going pretty well. Until in the middle of the night in late spring, daisy wakes up to loud voices and the sound of her door being smashed in. I couldnt move. I couldnt move. I just stood over my baby because i dont want to know mess with her. Its an f. B. I. Raid and its part of a city wide sweep. The feds cause operation breaking bad. It was very fusing. And they were just like, oh, where is it . Where is where he put. Im like, what are you talking about . Max is hauled outside where he is cuffed, arrested, and taken away. Daisy is left by herself with her baby and several armed f. B. I. Agents. Have some of these agents sad are trying to talk to you like theyre your friends. Like you, you know, my wife, shes had a baby, shes 16 months old. Im like, ok, so you understand how scared i am i really dont know whats going on. I just, you know why you nicely but they dont leave. And what starts as a bad dream turns into a nightmare. Short just coming. And then i look, i already know when you, once you call the social worker, shes not leaving empty handed. I reckon she came and said, im going to have to take the baby. Im thinking youd have to kill me to take my child and they were just like, if you cooperate everything will be easier. So she was like either make her bad or i could take i dont even remember handing over like it just went from having her to not having her. I dont even remember being there that i was on today, and its been over 4 days since the f. B. I. Was here. Its just hard at the nothing makes sense. Everything is kind of odd. So i feel as saw this has been a big mistake. Max is held in the federal Detention Center in downtown l. A. The charges against him are for a minor drug deal. 3 years ago before he and daisy became a couple the f. B. I. Agents told social workers they found drugs in the house. Based on that baby, sara has been taken away to a foster home. I have to find a place for her outside of this property. And i have to do some major drug tests and pending that. And my people be given back to me. Theyre arresting people that are charged with these. You know, what in the governments mind are these horrific crimes, and theres kids or so the easiest thing to do is scoop the kids up, put them into what the government considers a safe environment. And then let the family court determine what to do with them. And theres one charge against max for a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine with him on a codefendant. 3600. 00 was involved in the transaction and the customer turned out to be a confidential informant for the f. B. I. They arrest happens 3 years later because they dont want to burn the confidential informant. Theres all this is real. Typical max is denied bail. Daisy will not be allowed to see him in person for 3 months. She will only be able to communicate with him by phone and email. Both monitored. The raid does not produce any new charges against max, but the existing charges from 3 years ago could put him away for life. If the case elect a bad dream nicky, a nightmare like some of the kids started calling would happen. There was hardly last the matter that my brother and this is happening. How do i handle this . Just feel like theres big boy somehow when i got an intervention worker gets arrested is so, and i told you so all mentality from the public. But i know what these men and women do. There are amazing human beings. But they do not walk on water. Max is not allowed to discuss his case, but daisy strongly denies. There were drugs in the house on the night of the raid. The f. B. I. Insists there was meth in the house, but is not releasing any documentation to prove. I took a drug test hours after they took zahra, the social worker calls me and says, your urine was too clean. Why did you drink so much water . And i said, you know why, you came into my home, you took my child and it may be a family in this wont even know daisy who has no criminal history takes another drug test and passes it. She moved her things to her aunt and uncles house and asked the social workers to inspect it as a new home for sarah, outside her old neighborhood. But as the weeks turn into a month, the baby is still not released to her or to family members like her mother and father who have applied for custody as shes not getting any answers from the county. When max decided to change his life a decade ago, he could have walked away entirely from gangs. But instead he chose to stay in that world to become a gang intervention worker and try to undo some of the damage he had done in his past. Having one foot in one foot out his 1st, getting them in trouble, trying to make peace agreements between gangs. You have to speak to criminals. As speaking to these people will make you guilty of a crime here. And i have had many conversations about this work while we were colleagues, and he said that he would give his life in the street if it could save any of these kids. Max writes, if you grew up in a community where there is no violence, you dont see the struggle that kids go to when they see gangs as positive. But like any of us could be maxs position. They have everything taken away in, oh, i feel like he has been tainted. Its like being in a religion. You have to live in both worlds. You dont have a choice. If you want to be effective, you have to in where they were better. Weve done in the past would change the way atone for it and its not recognized, and its always the bad whatevers bad. 1st, our past always hurts us.

This carra, the demonstrations have been going on for days. At least 27 people have been willing to risk our has been banned from leaving the country. He was impeached over allegations of corruption. Those are your headlines days month after an f. B. I. Raid tore daisys family apart. Baby sarah remains in a foster home. And max remains in a prison cell based on his prior record, the prosecutors are going to seek a life sentence for the small drug dealer from 3 years ago. The judge doesnt have to agree to the possibility. But he may theyre destroying gangs were. Thats the purpose of this is basically the federal equivalent of 3 strikes. The particular judge where were concerned is that he would willingly and force it. And at that point, rex doesnt have a real bright future. If daisy and liz start gathering letters of support for max from families, hes helped over the years since he became an intervention war and give him just a stronger. Thank you. From the Police Department juvenile mpeg program. This is from elementary school, thanking him this from the county. Maxs lawyer submit snyman deep 3 pages of support letters to the court, and everyone waits to hear what the judge will decide. In the meantime, daisy has to keep working through the Family Court System to get her baby sarah back. Daisy has made every condition the social workers have given her. But without success. So macula speak to me, he would be like, oh, no. They said that, you know, you should have the baby backs on by heat is not a know whats going on out here. And over a monitored phone line. If theres so many so much you can save at this point, daisy think she might get sarah out of foster care. If her younger sister, claudia, can get temporary custody. Maybe maybe we had an appointment at 8 at the 750, but cloudier will need to apply for custody from a new house away from the family property. So daisy and cloudier are going to pool their resources to rent a house east of the city. Since sarah was taken, daisy is only allowed to see her twice a week. Her mom really loves me miss you are my son please dont take my 3rd son there with it. Good night mum. 7 mom, i love. Oh ok. You sent me a picture. Ok. Ok, thank you. Ok. Bye bye. I. They feed you serious. They will kill us and they are this books very unthinking and this happens. Im going to get her back fast. Look how pretty you look. And looks like from them will leave her alone. My sister living in a nice neighborhood and they have no more excuses. They cant give me any more excuses. Its been about 6 weeks now. Daisy still cant understand why shes not been allowed to bring sarah home. And its looking possible that max may never get out. We had filed everything about max in our social services are worthless in the community. A judge was not real receptive. Judges, not known for his compassion. I wish the best, not everybody, but were talking about a lot of time. I have families dont survive as families. Sara daddy writes you this letter with tears in my eyes. Im sorry. Im not with you. To see your 1st steps. You say . Daisy there are no words in the can express what i am feeling. Knowing our daughter was taken from us. I never meant to put you and sarah in the situation that i did. I dont want you to feel incarcerated with me. No matter what happens to max, daisy has to keep Going Forward to bring sarah home. So she, her sister, cloudy, and cloudy as husband jerry get ready to leave the family property or the big house he was there. If at any point i feel that im not fighting for my family if i i dont know what that would do to me. So yeah, every day is looking to today, what came to be here out there at all which way during those times or i feel like losing it. I remember when mom and i realized that there is no way that i could every marriage she must of felt toward my dad with you must have felt to user 20 year old daughter this is like elica young one though is the nest with the man of iraq, a, a hawk on a sort of lovely who would have a few on will call a hero. So my sister had to endure the message by then and kept it a secret. I spent with a gang member. After a few years, she decided to, you know, make a life 1st, went back to school, full time job. And he couldnt accept that. He said, youre not. Youre not going to see another. Another birthing son. I was 15. I was with her when this happened. He waited for us to come home and i said, we dont mean that our doors. I just heard what i thought were firecrackers and i looked over and my sister was covered in blood asking for air. This is why i am who am is not who i am but is why i am that way. Not the good little oh oh oh. Check system out there by bringing joy to you. Letting that happen here. Me read it. This is it. You have just like that i feel violated is absolutely not the way that i wanted my daughter to get to know the world. I wanted her to believe in fairy tale or sing, unicorn set up live ever after. Were going to have to hold the hops. Its been almost 2 months since the raid daisy knows, the f. B. I. Claimed max had drugs in her house on the night. He was arrested but now daisys public defender and family court blindsides her with a new accusation. The day i think im getting sarah bajc, my public defender tells me that theyre going to take me to trial. Just like the public defender tells daisy the social workers think she must have been hiding something because she took too long to answer the door for the f. B. I. And i say, why was this question asked of me before i was a you dont know me, you have no idea what ive been through. I dont know how im going to do it, but i need another lawyer. Like me was like daisy sister claudia, borrow several 1000. 00 from her boss. And daisy uses the money to hire a firm of attorneys who specialize in family law. I went to go meet with my lawyer and he was like, they have a place here with family. Im like, no why approached the court and he was like, ive been clean else like i dont use drugs. So then he was even more and then he asked me, is your husband in state or federal custody . I said federal and they sit. All he said ok, i says going is like theyre using your child as leverage. Theyre trying to pressure your husband into cooperate. I felt as though someone with knowledge was on my side now. They cannot be making them and they have nothing against me. They can even say i have a ticket. Daisys new attorney talks to the judge who also questions why sarah was not placed with family. The judge says she sees no reason for doozie to be separated from sarah any longer but the county social workers still have the final say ok, you know, for a week or more friday, saturday, sunday, and have you guys try to win over the net or boyd would call there were many years after her 5th visit to family court. Daisy finally gets a meeting at the county social workers offices for daisy to get sarah back. The social workers tell her max has to give up his parental rights. Since daisy is still not allowed to visit max in person, she has to tell him over the phone, calling from prison. Oh, he said, you do and you say whatever you have to do to get the baby yonder stance is not something that can be stopped with any paper. Its been 9 weeks since the raid max is still in detention, waiting for his trial and facing a possible life sentence. He has agreed to give up his parental rights. And the moment has come for the county to make a decision about sarah like, i dont know what the process is very, very, to leave you just why do they have exactly. I just want one of them called me back. Hello. Ok, great. So where do i oh ok, thank you so much and all this means to me. Ok, thank you. Ok. So im picking her up at one. I guess she needed the extra time to get her stuff ready. All right, and we can put this behind coerced and were in a better place. Were in a better place for her. For months ago. Almost all would be with us as we took 10 beliefs. Walk around free to be nothing. And its good to know you did this if you are seeing. d this is a step step that been a journey of a 1000 miles. Im thinking, be thankful for what you have just after sarah comes home, daisy is allowed to start visiting max in person for the 1st time since the raid tell her were going to go see daddy. But that good news is short lived out of the blue max gets hit with a new set of charges. This time, its in a federal racketeering case with 30 other people alleging that he is still active in a gang. Is the indictment on its face. Going to have a potential for a life in prison, but this is the type of thing where once again they can add that career. Criminal enhancement is toast. The federal government has used record tearing laws against organized crime for years. Recently the f. B. I. Has been using the same laws to sweep alleged gang members off the streets and somewhere like, oh my god. So rejoice that was my 1st thought. Then i realized what this presented to me as an opportunity to be in front of a different judge. The new judge gives max a chance. If he pleads guilty to 2 of the new charges, he can escape a life sentence. So like 97 percent of people facing federal drug charges max enters into a plea bargain. He is thankful to have a release date. He is just optimistic that things will work out for us and hell be out some and for some reason i, i believe him. Right after sarahs 1st birthday, max was sent to a federal prison, a few hours outside l. A. To start serving a 15 year sentence. Daisy texeira to visit him every saturday as he finishes writing access to these deals. So i can go back to be with my family and prove i am a good person. I dont want to kid to see that mistakes, condemn a person forever. The reason for change if you want it in your you know, i guess something something wrong have to want your life for something that comes next. You know, help me get it. I graduated and im, im working thanks to them. Other brother max that they see had told me, even if youve got a sure way youre going to have something a rock in the way you gotta get up and keep on long enough here today to talk about a communication. Oh boy here has been, has ever been put down. What i do comes from the heart in the midst of your storm. You meet other people that just survive. Dont you admire this person soul in me, hoping them they help me where there is life we can survive it all. Hello, it is gone. The flooding rains have gone from the atlantic seaboard, and we now watch the weather coming in from the northwest of that is a cold winter storm. There are going trails shows the picture that you might expect of winter in this part of the u. S. And the cold air will keep spreading across the plain states and catch up with whats relatively mild stuff in the ohio valley. And i think those storms could be significant, quite nasty ones. But once theyve gone through the estonia was just a little bit in this late fall sunshine and the next storm. Try to work its way in, but that will be more of a rain event. I think moved out to oregon and into northern california. Further south, its fine and quiet showers start to return to florida. But all the action is actually further south than that. And central america. Once again, weve picked up a tropical cycle. It will become a hurricane during sunday, a major hearkened, but how its the coast of nicaragua. They are regular. Sometime on monday evacuations are already taking place in honduras, and thats no surprise because its a repeat probably homes exactly what each did from the point of use potential for wind damage. And the matter of right and to get a half a meter of rain. For this public are out here, then honduras. What it does after that i dont know, do you feel validated in someway is a type of performative activism. Lets go back to specifically you calling a white supremacist. Theres nowhere to hide.
