By Ashley Maready for Freedom Debt Relief via Stacker
The holidays are a time to celebrate. It’s a great idea to go into the festive season with a plan to save and spend your money wisely, avoiding the need for debt relief next year.
There are plenty of ways to start saving for Christmas this year that don’t bring on financial stress, and there’s no time like the present to start, Freedom Debt Relief explains.
Key Takeaways:
- Decide how much you want to spend on holiday expenses and open a Christmas savings account.
- Try a savings challenge to find extra money.
- Think outside the box to earn more cash and start your shopping early.
1. Open a High-Yield Savings Account
If you don’t already have a high-yield savings account, consider this your sign that it’s time to open one. The highest rates are often offered by online-only banks. You’ll get the benefit of top-notch mobile apps and technology to monitor and grow your savings.
Many of these accounts also offer the chance to create multiple sub-
accounts, so you could designate one of them your official Christmas Savings. While you’re at it, create one for your emergency fund, too—an emergency fund is the gift you give yourself that helps you all year long.
Having a set place to keep your Christmas cash separate from your checking account and the rest of your savings makes it easier to see how much you have, and avoid accidentally spending the money on something else.
Automate contributions to your holiday account (it’s good to aim for a set amount on a weekly or monthly basis). If saving becomes automatic, you don’t have to think about it, and can’t forget to add money.
2. Create a Holiday Savings Budget
Do you know how much you typically spend on the holidays? Now is the time to determine how much you spend on gifts, food, travel, holiday activities, and decor. Take a look at your credit card and checking account statements from last year, and try to create a ballpark estimate of how much you’ll need to save to be ready for Christmas this year. Divide
that amount by the number of weeks or months you have to save, to give yourself smaller and more manageable goals to reach.
Also consider the state of your finances in the wake of last year’s holiday hoopla— did you wind up with credit card debt? If so, dial down the plan this year. If that’s not possible, or you just don’t want to (and that’s fair), the rest of these tips could help you increase the dollar figure in your Christmas savings account before the time comes to spend it.
3. Trim Your Spending to Free Up Cash
Is that your budget collecting dust over there?
If you want to change your spending habits to help you start saving for Christmas, you need a budget. Take a look at your existing budget, or sit down to create one if you’re currently going without.
Once you know how much comes in and where your money goes every month, you can look for places to trim your spending. Here are a few ideas to start:
If you eat out three times
a week, try cutting back to once or twice. It’s cliche to say “cook at home,” but doing so really can save you money—plus it’s fun to experiment with new recipes.
Got a streaming subscription you use very lightly or not at all? Cancel it—you probably won’t even miss it. (And if you do, you can resubscribe.)
Instead of buying new clothes, dig into your closet in search of pieces you may have forgotten about. If you need some fresh looks, organize a clothing swap with friends.
4. Try a Savings Challenge Savings challenges are all over social media. Turning your Christmas savings into a game can make the process more fun. Here are a few ideas to consider—and you can route the cash you save directly into your holiday funds bank account. Round-up savings
Every time you spend money, round up to the next whole dollar and transfer the difference to your Christmas savings account.
If your grocery tab comes to $90.12, send $0.88 to your savings. Some banks offer round-up savings. When you research high-yield savings accounts, maybe you’ll find one that offers this perk.
Just a dollar a day
Saving $1 per day sounds deceptively simple, but if you do it for a full year, you’ll end up with $365. You can customize this to meet your needs, too. Say you have six months to reach your Christmas savings target of $800. If you can manage to put aside about $4.50 per day (or about $31 per week) over those six months, you’ll reach your goal.
No-spend challenge
It’s probably unsustainable to cut out all your discretionary spending in service of saving for Christmas, but you can customize this idea. Try designating one or two weekends per month as “no-spend weekends,” and vow not to spend on anything but essential purchases. Instead of spending money on dinner out and a movie with friends, host a potluck where everyone brings a dish, and then pick a movie from a free streaming service like Tubi.
5. Take on a Side Hustle
The best way to make extra money is through opportunities that you can fit easily into your schedule. There are a few ways to do this.
Apply for seasonal jobs
There are plenty of retailers who look for extra staff members during busy seasons. You could spend just a few hours working each weekend to build up your holiday savings funds. Are you qualified to be a lifeguard at a pool? Could you stack boxes into a delivery truck? Look for seasonal jobs that are close to home, and that you would enjoy doing for a few hours at a time.
Consider the gig economy
If you want more flexibility, a gig job could work better for you. Consider driving for a ride-hailing or food delivery app for a few hours every week, or hire yourself out to clean houses or assemble furniture on TaskRabbit. You can also freelance using an existing skill. Writers, graphic designers, and even pet sitters have the opportunity to make extra cash— advertise your services on LinkedIn, Upwork, or, in the case of pet sitting, check out the Rover app.
Sell your stuff
Get rid of unwanted items in your home and turn them into cash if you can. This can work especially well if you sell old holiday decor right before the holiday. People love to score a good deal, and you double up by also decluttering your place.
If you’re getting started early (say, in the summer), hold a yard sale. Some of your neighbors might also be looking to downsize, and if you can organize a multiyard sale on your street, you’ll likely draw in more shoppers.
6. Get Creative Life’s too short for boring plans. Here are a few creative and fun ideas that could put extra cash in your pocket for the holidays.
Be a decorator for hire
Love hanging lights and setting up indoor and outdoor displays? Advertise yourself in your local area as a Christmas decorator for hire. If you’re comfortable working on a ladder and enjoy striking the balance between festive and eye-catching, this could be the gig for you. You could stockpile some cash starting right after Halloween, leading right up to Christmas.
Rent out your land or your pool
If you live out in the country and have a few acres of land, consider listing it on Hipcamp. Hipcamp is sort of like Airbnb for unique spots on private land where visitors could camp out. If you don’t have a big property but do have a swimming pool, you could earn some green by renting it out by the hour on Swimply. Your own neighbors might be looking for a convenient place for their kids’ swim lessons right now.
Givecompanies feedback on their products
If you enjoy technology and testing new products and website features, there are companies that will pay for your services. You can sign up with UserTesting to find them.
7. Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute
In addition to starting to save for Christmas early, you can also start your shopping early. There is no better time than the present for presents!
Start by making a list of prospective gifts for loved ones, and scout out sales and coupons that could save you money. Compare prices between retailers to find the best deal on the items you want. Create online
wish lists with Amazon or Etsy so you can keep an eye on prices over time. In addition to saving money on the gifts themselves, shopping well ahead of the holidays could also help you save money on shipping costs if you’re ordering items online. You can opt for the cheapest (and slowest) shipping option if you still have plenty of time before the holiday. By planning ahead and getting your shopping out of the way early, you can breathe easier as we head into the holiday season. You can’t put a price on that benefit.
Ready to start saving for Christmas? Pick a place for your cash (a high-yield savings account really is the best place), trim spending, increase your income, and have a jolly time with it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do people spend on Christmas expenses?
According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), 2024 winter holiday expenses were projected to reach $902 per person on average. You can certainly spend less than this, especially if your holiday celebrations don’t involve travel and you’re willing to set a strict budget for gifts, entertainment expenses, and holiday food. Should I use a credit card for my Christmas shopping?
Only use a credit card for holiday expenses if you’re confident that you can pay them off in short order (and preferably before interest charges kick in). Using a credit card for holiday purchases could help you earn rewards like travel points or cash back, but interest charges could quickly cost more than the value of those benefits. If you’re developing the habit of sticking to your budget or just want to keep things simple, shop with cash or your debit card.
How can I spend less on gifts for friends and family?
Try organizing a Secret Santa gift exchange. Everyone participating draws a name out of a hat, and only buys a gift for that person. You can set limits for how much money can be spent, and if everyone offers a few gift ideas for themselves ahead of time, this can be an easy way to spread joy and save money.

After a train carrying chemicalsderailed and caught fire in East Palestine, Ohio, in 2023, residents were exposed to carcinogens such as vinyl chloride, acrolein and dioxin. Since tumors are typically slow to develop, it could take decades to know what that did to the locals’ cancer risk, but there may be a quicker route to an answer: The residents’ dogs were also exposed, and dogs develop cancer more quickly.
Studying dogs and their cancers turns out to be an excellent way to learn more about cancer in people. And it’s not just that dogs and owners share exposures to many of the same environmental carcinogens. Knowable Magazine reports researchers are also learning that cancers develop along remarkably similar pathways in the two species.
The faster pace at which canine cancers progress also means that researchers testing new therapies can get quicker results than they can in human clinical trials. This benefits scientists, dogs and their owners, proponents say.
“Man’s best friend is man’s best biomedical friend,” said Matthew Breen, a geneticist at North Carolina State University. “It’s like having a mobile biosentinel organism that can help inform us about our own medical prospects over the next 25 years.”
Dogs in the vanguard
The biomedical bond between people and dogs is not new; veterinarians have long treated their canine patients with drugs developed for use in people, and doctors have relied on dogs to test therapies and procedures before deploying them in the clinic. Techniques to treat the bone cancer osteo-

sarcoma without amputating the patient’s limb, for example, were first developed in dogs.
Yet today this crossfertilization is no longer an occasional, sporadic benefit.
Researchers are realizing that canine tumors parallel those in people so closely that dogs may be the best reference point for understanding many of our own cancers.
One of the most important similarities between canine and human cancers is that they arise spontaneously, as the end result of a protracted struggle at the cellular level: Over the course of years, cells accumulate genetic damage that disables normal controls on cell division, and emerging tumors evolve ways to evade the immune system. That complexity means there can be many different pathways to cancer that differ from tumor to tumor — and, it turns out, even from cell to cell within a single tumor.
Traditional lab-mouse approaches to studying cancer miss much of that heterogeneity, because the system is more artificial: Researchers typically have to implant tumors into inbred strains of mice whose immune systems have been suppressed.
New genetic research underscores how similar the accumulating damage is in dogs and people. In a yet-tobe-published study, Elinor Karlsson, a genomicist at the UMass Chan Medical School, and her colleagues looked at gene sequences from more than 15,000 human tumors of 32 different types and more than 400 canine tumors of seven different types.
The aim was to identify genetic mutations that were
present in the cancers but not in normal cells of the same individual. Such mutations were presumably not inherited but instead were likely to represent genetic damage accumulated over a lifetime, some of which can result in cancer.
That damage looked remarkably similar in the two species, said Karlsson. “Genetically, in terms of what’s driving cancers, it’s basically the same genes in dogs and humans.”
Many of the dog tumors, for example, had mutations in genes already known to drive human cancers, such as the tumor suppressor gene PTEN often mutated in breast and prostate cancers, among others, and the cell-division regulator NRAS that is involved in melanoma and other cancers. Notably, mutations often occurred in or near the same locations in the genes
investigating how tumors with specific genetic mutations respond to human therapies.
The team reviewed records of 1,108 dogs with cancer, finding that dogs whose tumors carried particular mutations had higher survival rates if they were treated with a human drug specific to that mutation. This implies that the underlying biology of the cancers may be similar in the two species, and if so, researchers ought to be able to work in the other direction, too — using dogs as a test bed to develop new therapies for people.
in both species, suggesting that they may cause similar dysfunctions.
A similar recent finding came from researchers at FidoCure, a California-based company working on canine cancer. Scientists there are
A faster path to answers Cancers progress faster in dogs, which means that clinical trials yield results more quickly. For example, tumors often produce an unusual abundance of malformed RNA molecules. Researchers have shown, in mice, that targeting these molecules with a vaccine can delay or prevent the onset of cancers. But testing a preventive vaccine in people wouldn’t yield results for many years, even decades — and funding agencies aren’t likely to support such a long and expensive study based solely on data from mice.
“It would be an enormous leap to go from the mouse studies to some kind of gigantic, 15- or 20-year human cancer prevention study,” said Douglas Thamm, a veterinary oncologist at Colorado State University. Instead, Thamm and his
That has already paid off in a few cancer therapies first developed in dogs that are now in clinical trials or approved for use in people, said Amy LeBlanc, a veterinary oncologist and director of the comparative oncology program at the National Cancer Institute. Examples include immunotherapies for brain cancers; viral therapy that targets lymphoma; and drug therapies against multiple myeloma, lymphoma and brain tumors. Results like FidoCure’s suggest that these therapies could be just the vanguard of many more such drugs.
colleagues tested the vaccine in dogs, which shrinks the timeline to just five years. All the data — from 804 dogs — have now been collected, and the researchers are analyzing them, with an answer on the vaccine’s effectiveness expected by the end of 2025.
Cancer detection techniques, too, can benefit from testing in dogs. Many golden retrievers, for example, will eventually develop a cancer of the blood vessels called hemangiosarcoma. Drugs can usually forestall the cancer’s progression, but many dogs will eventually relapse. Karlsson and her colleagues are studying whether they can detect that relapse in blood samples drawn from affected dogs, a technique known as liquid biopsy.
The technique is still under development, but the hope is that spotting early signs of relapse will allow veterinarians to abandon failing therapies and try something else more quickly, said project coleader Cheryl London, a veterinary medical oncologist and immunologist at Tufts University, who coauthored a 2016 overview of the similarities between dog and human cancers. In contrast, she noted, doctors can’t ethically try experimental treatments on people until standard treatments have clearly failed.
Eventually, liquid biopsy might be used to screen for previously undetected cancers in both dogs and people, Karlsson said. Here, too, golden retrievers are likely to prove invaluable: Because so many of the dogs will eventually develop cancer, researchers don’t need to screen many animals to find enough tumors to study.
Environmental watchdogs
There’s another important way that dogs can benefit the study of cancer — as environmental sentinels.
“Dogs live in our environment,” said Breen. “They breathe the same air, they drink the same water. The dog runs across the same herbicide-treated grass that
our grandkids run over.”
If those exposures increase the risk of cancer in dogs, they’re likely to do so in people, too, since the genomic pathways leading to cancer are so similar.
In people, exposures to various environmental carcinogens might take 25 years to produce full-blown cancers, Breen said. “But the accelerated lifespan of a dog means they may only need to be exposed to it for two or
cancer.
Earlier research had suggested environmental chemicals were linked to the cancer — but which ones?
To find out, the team identified 25 dogs with the BRAF V595E mutation using urine samples. Then they sent out specially designed silicone tags for the dogs. They also sent tags to 76 dogs matched for breed, sex and age that lacked the mutation. Each wore the silicone for
three years,” he added. That makes dogs a quicker way to spot the chemicals that potentially pose the greatest danger to people.
Breen and his colleagues recently put this sentinel idea to the test. They were interested in environmental toxins that might contribute to bladder cancer. The team knew that in dogs, genetic damage that accumulates in cells of the bladder wall often includes a specific mutation called BRAF V595E that is an early marker for bladder
five days, during which time it absorbed chemicals from the home environment. The owners then returned the tags to the researchers, who extracted and analyzed the chemicals.
The analysis identified 25 chemicals that were more abundant in the dogs with the mutation, and therefore carcinogen candidates. These included flame retardants, plasticizers and combustion byproducts from smoking, fires and vehicle emissions.
“They’re the classic kinds of chemicals that are in everybody’s house,” said Breen.
An earlier study by Breen and his team noted similar exposure patterns recorded by silicone tags on dogs and silicone wristbands worn by their owners.
A similar approach may help to measure the cancer risk from other environmental exposures, such as the train derailment in East Palestine. To that end, Karlsson and her colleagues recently mailed silicone tags to about 75 dog owners who live near the site. The researchers are
now measuring chemicals in the tags and screening blood samples from the dogs to detect genetic changes linked to cancer.
If dogs exposed to chemicals in that train derailment are showing a higher rate of these mutations in their blood, they and their owners might need to be monitored for an increased risk of cancer, Karlsson said.
As researchers continue to study the links between cancers in dogs and people, they often reiterate the benefits that accrue not just to science, but to dog owners and their sick pets. The pets
receive highly sophisticated cancer care that their owners might not have access to otherwise, and the owners may get a little more time with their companions.
“We’re not experimenting on these animals to their detriment,” said Thamm. “We’re trying to help those individuals.” That, he and others say, is a source of great satisfaction.

Zoning Code Amendments related to: 1) Predevelopment Plan Reviews; 2) Design Review; 3) Signs and Awnings; 4) Outdoor and Temporary Uses; 5) Special Purpose Zoning Districts; 6) Accessory Dwelling Units; 7) Implementation of new State Legislation; and 8) Other Miscellaneous Updates
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Proposed are Amendments to various sections of Title 17 (the Zoning Code) of the Pasadena Municipal Code (PMC). This includes changes to the following: 1) Predevelopment Plan Reviews - Chapter 17.60; 2) Design Review - Chapter 17.61; 3) Signs and Awnings - Chapters 17.48 and 17.50; 4) Outdoor and Temporary Uses - Chapter 17.50; 5) Special Purpose Zoning Districts - Chapter 17.26; 6) Accessory Dwelling UnitsChapter 17.50; 7) Implementation of new State Legislation including off-street parking requirements, retail sales with donation drop off, notices for public hearings and employee/farmworker housing; and 8) Other Miscellaneous Updates including parking for changes of use, meeting continuances and glossary definitions.
PROJECT LOCATION: Citywide.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Planning Commission will consider whether adoption of the proposed Zoning Code Amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b) (3), under the “Common Sense” exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The Amendments focus on procedural changes to the review process and provide additional clarity on terms and standards used. They also revise sections to comply with recent state legislation and implement programs of the 2021-2029 Housing Element. None increase development levels or intensity or add new uses that would generate impacts.
APPROVALS NEEDED: The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing and consider the proposed Zoning Code Amendments and environmental determination. The Planning Commission recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council, who will make a final decision at a separately noticed public hearing.

AThermal couple who oversawatrafficking operation that entailed illegally transporting pesticides and other prohibited products across the U.S.Mexico border and selling the unregulated substances throughout California and elsewhere were sentenced Wednesday in federal court.
Otilio Rodriguez Toledo and his wife Alicia Aispuro Hernandez pleaded guilty in 2023 to conspiracy to smuggle and distribute unlicensed pesticides and veterinary drugs.
During a sentencing
hearing Wednesday at U.S. District Court in San Diego, Judge John Houston imposed a term of five months in federal prison and three years of supervised release, or probation, for Toledo. Hernandez avoided prison as a result of time served in jail awaiting disposition of the case, but she was ordered to serve 18 months’ supervised release.
Both defendants were also ordered to pay the government $2.19 million in penalties, which will be recouped through asset forfeiture.
“There is a reason customs laws exist, particularly when pesticides and chemicals are attempting to make their way into our country to potentially wreak havoc on our environment and potentially make people seriously ill,” Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Shawn Gibson said.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, while the couple resided in Riverside County, they maintained storage facilities near the Calexico Port of Entry in Imperial County.
Coordinating with unnamed smugglers, the defendants arranged for loads of unregulated substances to be covertly brought into the United States via Mexico. The smugglers would send the defendants camera phone pictures of the products to verify they had been dropped at the storage lockers, prosecutors said. Toledo and Hernandez would then go to the units and retrieve the contraband.
“The pesticides involved were primarily Taktic and Bovitraz, which are not registered with the Environmental
Protection Agency for use in the United States,” according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office statement. “The smuggled veterinary drugs included Tetragent Aves, Metabolase, Terramicina, Cipio Vet, Baytril Max, Tylovet, Caterrol, Penicilina and Tylosma, which are not approved by the Food & Drug Administration for use in the United States.”
The agency said Taktic and Bovitraz contain amitraz, “which is toxic to bees if released into hives, and then ultimately to humans when it ends up in honey, honeycomb and beeswax.”
“Misuse of amitrazcontaining products in beehives can result in exposures that could cause neurological effects and possibly reproductive effects in humans from the consumption of contaminated honey,” according to the statement.
The smuggling operation was uncovered in 2022, culminating in a federal grand jury indictment against the pair, about whom there was little background information.
Along with HSI, personnel from the FDA and EPA handled the investigation.
in addition to burn-scar areas and emergency access routes.
“This region plays a vital role in our nation’s supply chain and disaster response framework,” Rouzer said in a statement. “This visit provided insight into the challenges and opportunities San Bernardino County faces in protecting lives and supporting the movement of goods across the country. As we work on the next surface transportation bill, I will take these priorities back to Washington to ensure areas like this are considered in legislative conversations.”
At the County Government Center, board members met with Rouzer and expressed support for federal policies that streamline funding and speed up project completion.
“We were proud to welcome Congressman Rouzer and show him firsthand the importance of
building resilient roads and bridges,” Rowe said in a statement. “We’re especially grateful to our congressional delegation, who consistently champion our area’s infrastructure needs in Washington, and to Congressman Rouzer for taking the time to see why this region must
remain a priority in federal transportation policy.”
Public safety officials also noted the importance of federal funds.
Sheriff Shannon Dicus said his department was “excited to collaborate with our federal partners for the sake of performance, safety,
and long-term growth” and pledged to work “closely with the Board of Supervisors to grow our region responsibly — because strong transportation networks aren’t just critical for commuters and commerce, they’re essential for public safety and protecting lives in high-risk fire
zones.”
Fire Chief Dan Munsey led the public safety portion of the aerial tour, and emphasized the importance of maintaining incoming and outgoing access to high-risk fire zones.
“When wildfires strike, seconds matter. The roads we
showed Congressman Rouzer today are lifelines,” Munsey said in a statement. “Federal investments in infrastructure that strengthen emergency access will save lives, not just here, but in any community that depends on safe evacuation routes and fast response times.”
Rouzer’s tour was part of the county’s “broader federal engagement strategy to ensure upcoming surface transportation legislation reflects the needs of inland communities and goods movement corridors,” according to a county statement. As the transportation bill develops, the county has its sights set on future federal funding formulas, grant programs and policy reforms, such as streamlining the National Environmental Policy Act and statutory exemptions for emergency infrastructure to support high-priority projects regionwide.
to ensure a fair, thorough and impartial investigation, the department requested an independent criminal investigation by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.”
Sheriff’s Sgt. Jim Peters said MPD Internal Affairs detectives informed the Special Victims Unit that “Pesina was accused of sexually assaulting a victim during an on-duty investigation.”
“During the course of our investigation, additional victims were identified in incidents that had occurred between 2023 and 2024,” Peters said. “Investigators determined Pesina encountered these victims while on duty and off duty.”
According to the criminal complaint, the victims, identified only as “C.R.” and “J.H.,” were allegedly assaulted in February 2023 and January 2024.
J.H., a teenager, was Pesina’s first alleged target, court papers stated. The defendant allegedly accessed her property illegally and perpetrated multiple sexual
offenses over an unspecified period, according to the prosecution.
C.R. was allegedly victimized 11 months later, suffering similar abuse, according to the complaint.
The document didn’t specify which person, but it alleged that “after returning the victim of domestic violence to her home ...
the defendant entered her home and forcibly sexually assaulted her.”
The police department did not disclose when Pesina was hired, or in specifically what capacities he has worked, other than patrol. If convicted, he could face life in prison with the possibility of parole.
Five people, including at least two with felony convictions, suspected in a series of burglaries and solar combiner box thefts in Perris and Moreno Valley were taken into custody Wednesday.
Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office Perris Station responded to the 2000 block of Blue Elm Road in Perris on July 28 to reports regarding multiple solar combiner boxes stolen from a new residential development, according to sheriff’s officials.
Additional solar charging batteries were taken from another new housing development in the 24000 block of Sirius Avenue in Moreno Valley on Wednesday,
prompting Perris Sheriff’s Station Robbery and Burglary Suppression Team personnel to investigate the matter.
Several search warrants were executed by RBST personnel with assistance from Special Enforcement Team and Homeless Outreach Team investigators in the 21000 block of John Street and the 21000 block of Nance Street in Mead Valley, where evidential items related to the thefts were recovered, such as an unregistered rifle and ammunition, sheriff’s officials said. Investigators identified Ignacio Barraza of Mead Valley, 32, as a person of interest in connection with the theft and took him

A41-year-old Riverside County deputy accused of accessing unauthorized and confidential information from government databases for personal use was out on bail Friday.
Michael Gene Schmidt was arrested and booked into the Presley Detention Center in Riverside on Thursday on suspicion
of unauthorized computer access.
He was released the same day on $40,000 bail.
On May 8, investigators started to look into Schmidt’s computer access, according to Lt. Albert Martinez.
He was arrested in Murrieta without incident on Thursday, Martinez said. Schmidt has worked
with the department since Oct. 2008, and was most recently assigned to the Lake Elsinore station. He was placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. No further details will be released, and anyone with additional information was urged to contact Investigator Andrew at 951-2725600.

Four other suspects were identified and taken into custody:
-- Katy Medina of Mead Valley, 32, who was booked on suspicion of being in possession of methamphetamine and paraphernalia;
-- Angel Rubio of Mead Valley, 33, who was booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of ammunition, probation violation, and an outstanding warrant;
-- Nelson Covarrubias of Mead Valley, 37, who was booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm; and
Constitution and trample over democracy -- running a cynical, self-serving playbook where Californians are an afterthought and power is the only priority.”
Assemblyman Carl DeMaio, R-San Diego, called Newsom’s plan “corrupt.”
“California politicians are using Trump as the window
dressing to advance a corrupt and dishonest scheme to end fair elections in our state by eliminating the non-partisan Independent Citizens’ Redistricting Commission process to draw election districts,” DeMaio said. “This is a blatant attempt to rig elections by allowing politicians to choose voters rather than letting

Detention Center for processing, according to sheriff’s officials. Anyone with informa-

up at the scene after the ICE agents had departed.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem addressed the raid during an appearance on Fox News as video of the operation was shown.
“Every single one of our ICE and Border Patrol operations is built on informa-
tion, on investigative work,” Noem said.
She said an operation is planned “because of who they think could be in that area and what they have for information that shows there are illegal criminals there. Remember we’re focusing on the worst of the worst.”
Noem said she didn’t know specifics about the Los Angeles raid outside Newsom’s event, “but it was based on the investigative work that all law enforcement officers do for every single operation they conduct to make sure they’re getting dangerous criminals off our streets.”
