Following the search, Roman Rodriguez of Cathedral City was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment, being a felon in possession of a firearm, being in possession of an illegal rifle and being in possession of unregistered firearms, according to Enos. He was taken to the John J. Benoit Detention Center in Indio.

The boy was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats, Enos said. He was taken to Indio Juvenile Hall.

“The department wants to remind and encourage parents to monitor their child’s activity on their cellular phones, social media accounts and gaming apps with chat features,” Enos said in a statement. “Parents should regularly check the contents, including pictures and videos, on their child’s cellular phone.”

Anyone with information regarding the videos was asked to call the police department at 760-7700300 or Coachella Valley Crime Stoppers anonymously at 760-341-7867 (STOP).

According to the Pew Research Center, about twothirds of Americans feel the federal government is not doing enough to counteract the effects of climate change. While a majority of U.S. adults acknowledge climate change to be a real issue, there is less consensus in regards to what measures to take to address the wors- ening climate crisis.

Solutions such as planting more trees to absorb carbon emissions garnered widespread, bipartisan support. Approval for taxing corporations based on their emissions output or introducing stricter emissions standards for vehicles, on the other hand, seemed to fall along party lines, with

86-89% of Democratic-leaning respondents supporting those measures, versus 52-55% of Republican-leaning respondents. Attitudes toward climate change policies are split by more than mere political party affiliation, however.
