Listen to this note:
En medio de grandes polémicas por parte del presidente de Argentina, Javier Milei, se ha anunciado la visita del mandatario al centro de las grandes tecnológicas de Estados Unidos, ello con la intención de fortalecer lazos en la materia.
Así lo informó Guillermo Francos, ministro de Interior de Argentina, quien, a través de su cuenta de X, precisó que directivos de Google han manifestado su entusiasmo por la próxima visita del presidente Milei a Silicon Valley, “con el objetivo de trabajar juntos para desarrollar la digitalización de la Argentina”.
Ello tras informar que mantuvo una charla con ejecutivos de Google en sobre el proceso de modernización de Argentina, que incluye la llegada del Cable Submarino Firmina a la localidad bonaerense de Las Toninas.
De igual manera, destacó que se conversó sobre proyectos de Google en su división de Argentina, vinculados a Inteligencia Artificial, TICs, y herramientas para fortalecer procesos de aprendizaje.
De acuerdo con el funcionario argentino, está previsto que Milei visite Estados Unidos a finales de mayo para reunirse con empresarios del sector tecnológico, entre ellos, el CEO de Meta, Mark Zuckerberg.
“El 27 de mayo salimos para San Francisco y vamos a tener reuniones con todos los popes de temas tecnológicos, entre ellos Mar Zuckerberg”, dijo Milei el sábado.
Desde que Milei tomó el cargo como presidente de la República Argentina el pasado 10 de diciembre, ha tenido 3 viajes a la unión americana, siendo el primero de ellos a Washington el pasado 23 de febrero, donde participó en la Conferencia Política de Acción Conservadora (CPAC) y se reunió con el expresidente estadounidense y candidato electoral republicano, Donald Trump.
El 10 de abril viajó a Texas, donde Milei sostuvo un encuentro con el director ejecutivo de Tesla, Elon Musk, y en el cual hablaron sobre la necesidad de mercados libres y espíritu empresarial.
Milei, un economista de derecha y de carácter libertario, visitó la planta industrial de Tesla en Austin, donde también defendió los principios bajo los que se rige.
A inicios de este mes, el mandatario argentino también visito California, y en Los Ángeles se volvió a reunir con Musk, además de hablar en la conferencia global de inversores del Instituto Milken.
¿Debería la ley exigir a los médicos de California informar el abuso doméstico a la policía? Esa pregunta dividió a tres médicos que ocupaban escaños en la Asamblea de California cuando se sometió a votación esta semana. Según la ley actual, los proveedores de atención médica enfrentan cargos por delitos menores si no denuncian sospechas de abuso a la policía, incluso si los pacientes no quieren que la policía se involucre.
¿Debería la ley exigir a los médicos que notifiquen a la policía inmediatamente si sospechan que un paciente es víctima de violencia doméstica?
Esa pregunta dividió a tres médicos que ocupaban escaños en la Asamblea de California cuando se sometió a votación esta semana.
Según la ley actual, los proveedores de atención médica enfrentan cargos por delitos menores si no denuncian sospechas de abuso a la policía, incluso si los pacientes no quieren que la policía se involucre.
En los últimos años, algunos defensores de los sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica dicen que los requisitos obligatorios de presentación de informes han impedido que las víctimas busquen tratamiento.
Los defensores dicen que las víctimas temen que, si llaman a la policía, las acusarán, les quitarán a sus hijos o, en el caso de inmigrantes indocumentados, sus familias correrán el riesgo de ser deportadas.
“Hemos visto las formas en que los requisitos médicos obligatorios de presentación de informes para todas las lesiones violentas han impedido a los sobrevivientes buscar la atención médica necesaria en primer lugar, han hecho que los sobrevivientes sientan que nunca podrían volver a recibir atención médica después de enterarse de los requisitos, o han hecho sienten que no pueden compartir el motivo o el alcance de ciertas lesiones o problemas de salud con su proveedor”, dijo el mes pasado la autora del proyecto de ley, la asambleísta demócrata Tina McKinnor de Inglewood, al Comité de Seguridad Pública de la Asamblea.
El proyecto de ley de McKinnor requeriría que los médicos y otros proveedores de atención médica denuncien a la policía sólo los actos de violencia que requieran tratamiento para salvar la vida del paciente.
En otros casos sospechosos de abuso, si el paciente no quiere denunciar el delito, el proveedor de atención médica deberá derivarlo a servicios de defensa de víctimas. El proyecto de ley todavía requiere que los médicos informen sobre sospechas de abuso de niños y ancianos.
McKinnor presentó un proyecto de ley similar el año pasado. Murió en el Senado estatal tras pasar por la Asamblea. El lunes, el proyecto de ley de este año apenas logró aprobarse en el pleno de la Asamblea. Un proyecto de ley necesita 41 votos para ser aprobado en el pleno. Éste tenía 42.
El asambleísta demócrata Joaquín Arámbula, ex médico de urgencias de Fresno, fue uno de los 42 legisladores, todos demócratas, que votaron a favor del proyecto de ley.
Le dijo a CalMatters el jueves que votó a favor del último proyecto de ley porque requeriría que los médicos informen sobre lesiones potencialmente mortales. El proyecto de ley anterior, por el que no votó, no incluía ese requisito.
“No quería perder eso, ya que deberíamos centrarnos en aquellos que corren mayor riesgo para la vida”, dijo. “Y creo que este es un enfoque bueno y mesurado”.
El otro médico de la Asamblea que votó a favor del proyecto de ley fue el asambleísta Akilah Weber de La Mesa, obstetra y ginecólogo. Ella no respondió a las solicitudes de entrevista de CalMatters.
La asambleísta Jasmeet Bains, médica de familia de Bakersfield, estuvo entre los tres asambleístas demócratas que votaron “no”, junto con 12 republicanos.
Ella le dijo a CalMatters el jueves que cree que sus compañeros médicos regularmente impiden que continúe el abuso cuando presentan informes policiales. Le preocupa que las familias sufran si los médicos ya no están obligados a informar.
“Me preocupan las estructuras familiares”, dijo. “Me preocupa el entorno en el que crecen los niños si los perpetradores no rinden cuentas, porque a veces es esa pieza la que rompe el círculo de violencia en los hogares”.
Veintitrés miembros bipartidistas de la Asamblea no votaron sobre el proyecto de ley de McKinnor. No votar cuenta lo mismo que votar “no”.
Como informó CalMatters, los legisladores regularmente se niegan a votar para evitar declararse en contra de un proyecto de ley controvertido.
El proyecto de ley pasa ahora al Senado. El proyecto de ley del año pasado murió después de ser aprobado por el Comité de Seguridad Pública del Senado.
Communities excluded from the national census will be represented and included; the Office of Management and Budget has expanded its rules on race and ethnicity, seeking to make everyone visible and represented.
Listen to this note:
Communities excluded from the national census will be represented and included; for the first time since 1997, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) expanded its rules on race and ethnicity, seeking to make all people visible and represented in federal data collection.
During a briefing held by Ethnic Media Services, Experts discussed how new standards regarding race and ethnicity have been included by OMB to ensure clarity in data collection and to ensure that needs are heard and communities are represented.
Juan Rosa, National Director of Civic Engagement for the National Educational Fund (NALEO), commented that these changes in data collection can benefit communities in the long term, while considering that generations have changed and are more capable of recognizing their identity, feeling proud of their origins and looking for a way to truly identify themselves as they are and where they come from.
Thirty-five percent of Latinos indicated they were of another race on the 2020 census because they did not identify themselves, while 8 percent did not respond; an estimated 27 million of the 63 million counted in the census did not see themselves reflected in the questions regarding race, creating a need for change, he said.
Tina J. Kauh, Senior Program Officer in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Research, Evaluation and Learning Unit, explained that the organization works with communities, physicians and institutions to create a future where medicine is accessible to all.
She said systemic racism is still present, not only for the Asian American community, but also for other minority communities, so getting enough resources for various studies or programs is really complicated, and without hard data it becomes almost impossible.
In this regard, he said that support is currently being given to the collection of data that will greatly benefit the communities, allowing them to understand their shortcomings and needs, generating relevant information to implement new and better support programs.
Gail C. Christopher, executive director of the National Collaborative for Health Equity and director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's National Commission on Transforming Public Health Data Systems, explained that the data system must be expanded to include the most vulnerable communities in California.
Christopher stressed that it is very important to address the structural racism that limits communities of color, and that there are currently different categories for people to identify themselves and feel truly heard, showing that they are not invisible.
“The data system still needs to be transformed so that communities, health agencies and associations can understand that this is done with the best intentions, since there are different narratives. However, the goal is to ensure that the resources and results help those communities that do not feel represented prosper,” she stressed.
"The challenge we face is that the lack of data fits into the framework of discrimination and racial stereotypes that have been part of our nation and right now we are at that moment of accepting our history to create strength, reconciliation and healing processes.”, he added Gail C. Christopher.
Meeta Anand, senior director of census and data equity programs at The Leadership Conference Education Fund, explained that when you put dots on numbers, you're not telling the stories of racial equity and you're only really showing one part.
And, she said, when we talk about collecting data, we only seek to have a better version of the people we want to represent, because the data can never pigeonhole a person, since there are many origins and cultures, but having more options in a survey allows them to show themselves as they are or as close to what they are, and that is what we seek.
With this new format, people can identify themselves and tell their story through surveys. To achieve this, there will be enough time to codify the data collected. Organizations will be monitoring the process to achieve results closer to reality.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has announced that it will request the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu as well as his Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, and leaders of the extremist group Hamas.
Listen to this note:
Amid a wave of demonstrations in Israel on Monday, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as early elections; International Criminal Court (ICC) has said it will seek arrest warrants for him, as well as for his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, and leaders of the extremist group Hamas.
Seven months after the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, tensions are rising, both in the military sphere and in the various demonstrations around the world calling for an immediate ceasefire against the Palestinian population, which as of Tuesday, May 21, has counted 35,647 dead, the majority of them women and children.
“The Israeli occupation has left 85 martyrs and 200 wounded in the past 24 hours,” the enclave’s health ministry said in a statement. “Many people remain trapped under the rubble and on the roads because rescuers cannot reach them.”
In response, Karim AA Khan KC, chief prosecutor of the ICC, said at a conference that, based on the evidence collected and examined by the office he heads, “there are reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, Minister of Defense of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza Strip) since at least October 8, 2023.”
— Int'l Criminal Court (@IntlCrimCourt) May 20, 2024
The charges they could be found guilty of include starving civilians as a method of warfare as a war crime; intentionally causing great suffering or serious harm to body or health, or cruel treatment as a war crime; and wilful homicide or murder as a war crime.
Likewise, he noted, the intentional directing of attacks against a civilian population is a war crime; extermination and/or murder, even in the context of deaths caused by starvation, is a crime against humanity; persecution is a crime against humanity; and other inhumane acts are crimes against humanity.
“We maintain that the alleged crimes against humanity were committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the Palestinian civilian population in accordance with State policy. These crimes, in our view, continue to this day,” Khan said.
The UN maintains that the evidence collected, including interviews with survivors and eyewitnesses, authenticated video, photographs and audio material, satellite images and statements from the alleged perpetrator group, shows that Israel has intentionally and systematically deprived the civilian population in all parts of Gaza of objects indispensable for human survival.
He added that these acts were committed as part of a common plan to use starvation as a method of warfare and other acts of violence against the civilian population of Gaza as a means to eliminate Hamas; to secure the return of the hostages that Hamas has kidnapped; and to collectively punish the civilian population of Gaza, whom they perceived as a threat to Israel.
He explained that the effects of using starvation as a method of warfare, along with other attacks and collective punishments against the civilian population of Gaza, are acute, visible and widely known, and have been confirmed by multiple witnesses interviewed, including local and international doctors. They include malnutrition, dehydration, profound suffering and an increasing number of deaths among the Palestinian population, including infants, other children and women.
“Israel, like all states, has the right to take measures to defend its population. However, that right does not absolve Israel or any state from its obligation to comply with international humanitarian law. Whatever military objectives they may have, the means Israel chose to achieve them in Gaza – namely, intentionally causing death, starvation, great suffering and serious harm to the body or health of the civilian population – are criminal,” the chief prosecutor said.
“Today we underline once again that international law and the laws of armed conflict apply to everyone. No foot soldier, no commander, no civilian leader – no one – can act with impunity. Nothing can justify intentionally depriving human beings, including so many women and children, of the basic necessities of life. Nothing can justify hostage-taking or attacks on civilians,” he added.
In this regard, he said that the independent judges of the International Criminal Court are the sole arbiters who determine whether the necessary standard for issuing arrest warrants has been met.
“If my requests are accepted and the requested orders issued, I will work closely with the Registrar in all efforts to detain the named individuals. I count on all States Parties to the Rome Statute to take these requests and the subsequent judicial decision with the same seriousness as they have shown in other situations, fulfilling their obligations under the Statute. I am also ready to work with non-States Parties in our common quest for accountability,” Karim AA Khan KC made clear.
These possible arrests would be added to those of Yahya Sinwar (head of the Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” in the Gaza Strip); Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri, better known as DEIF (commander-in-chief of the military wing of Hamas, known as Al-Qassam Brigades) and Ismail Haniyeh (head of the Hamas Political Bureau), for, among other things, extermination as a crime against humanity; murder as a crime against humanity and as a war crime; and taking hostages as a war crime.
In addition to rape and other acts of sexual violence as crimes against humanity, and also as war crimes in the context of captivity; torture and other inhuman acts; cruel treatment and outrages upon personal dignity.
In this regard, the prosecutor reiterated, once again, his call for the immediate release of all hostages taken from Israel and their safe return to their families. “This is a fundamental requirement of international humanitarian law.”
Finally, he said that if the law is not shown to be applied equally, if it is seen to be applied selectively, “we will be creating the conditions for its collapse. In doing so, we will be loosening the remaining bonds that hold us together, the stabilizing connections between all communities and individuals, the safety net to which all victims turn in times of suffering. This is the real risk we face at this moment.”
Given the importance of mental health, Medi-Cal seeks to expand services and address the needs of residents as a comprehensive form of health care.
Listen to this note:
California's Medi-Cal program provides coverage to 1 in 3 Californians, approximately 15 million people, and is currently seeking to expand services and address the mental health needs of residents as a comprehensive form of health care.
As the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) continues to transform Medi-Cal, the state is addressing behavioral health needs such as mental health care and substance use disorder services through health care, experts said during a reality briefing by Ethnic Media Services.
Paula Wilhelm, acting deputy director of Behavioral Health Services for the California Department of Health Care Services, said mental health is just as important as physical health, which is why support is being sought for that area, as well as for substance use.
Whether someone is experiencing postpartum depression, dealing with anxiety and stress due to school or work issues, or needs help dealing with drug or alcohol addiction, they are provided with health education and access to services including mental health screening and assessment with outpatient and community-based treatments, as well as individual, group, or family therapy.
"We want to improve the quality of care we provide in the United States and create a more equitable, people-centered delivery system for all services. This includes the recently updated Behavioral Health Services Act that was approved by California voters as Proposition 1.”, Wilhelm commented.
Autumn Boylan, deputy director of DHCS’s Office of Strategic Partnerships, discussed Governor Gavin Newsom’s master plan for children’s mental health, announced in August 2022.
It seeks to ensure that children use mental health services and support for emerging and existing behavioral health conditions, as unfortunately for more than a decade, children and young people of all ethnic backgrounds have been getting worse.
In California, specifically, nearly 300,000 clients are dealing with major depression, and 66 percent of those young people are not getting access to treatment and care in the way they should; young people are stressed, and the pandemic has contributed to and exacerbated some of these feelings.
And young people are bombarded with information about the world around them, including climate change, school shootings and other circumstances that contribute to the stressors they face today, and as their developing brains face all of these different challenges in the world, we're working very closely with county offices of education, school districts and schools across the state to strengthen the support network available in school settings, she said.
Within the program, he explained, a digital health strategy is being focused on, taking into account that children and young people spend a lot of time on screens, so the aim is to reach more children through this medium.
She also explained that two Mental Health Centres have been launched regardless of the health insurance status, therefore, it is not necessary to have one to access these services.
Boylan said there is a Bright Life Kids app available for young children and parents, as well as another app that provides free mental health counseling support and a wealth of resources for teens and young adults ages 13 to 25.
Jennifer Oliphant, director of the Hope for Tomorrow Program at Two Feathers Native American Family Services, said she works with eight federally recognized tribes and a few more that are not, caring for a large Native American population.
She highlighted that they have a special plan for adolescents and young people that seeks to involve and support young people to be part of the labor market and the community, a project that began two years ago to involve and develop socio-emotional skills among young people.
Tricia Nguyen, CEO of Southland Integrated Services (formerly Vietnamese Community of Orange County), explained that they were established in 1979 as a support agency for the Vietnamese people, with 300,000 people belonging to this agency.
Over time, she stressed, work has been done to provide more and better support, integrating medical, dental and behavioral health. In 2008, they did not have any mental health programs, but with the pandemic, addressing mental health became a necessity.
Currently, she stressed, parents have to deal with social networks constantly, so it is necessary to get parents to communicate with their children, because they feel that they do not have real communication; for this, there are Family Centers where emotional support and advice is provided to the community so that they seek specialized medical attention for their needs.

With music, dance, colors and lots of celebration, the San Francisco Carnival celebrates its 46th anniversary and this 2024 under the motto “Honoring indigenous roots” seeks to recognize and exalt cultures united in the same spirit to share their creative expressions.
Throughout the 46 years of Carnival celebrations, many of the participating groups have chosen to represent themselves with themes imbued with the indigenous communities of Mexico, Central America, South America, the United States, the Caribbean and Brazil.
Proudly wearing folkloric outfits and clothing handmade using the same techniques as their ancestors, Carnival groups showcase the beauty of their native cultures with traditional songs and dances.
Their performances tell stories about preserving the rainforest, waterways, crops, and keeping Pachamama (Mother Earth) in balance. Some of the dances depict the oppression of native peoples and the suffering they have endured through slavery and colonization.
Thus, the San Francisco Carnival has become the largest multicultural celebration on the West Coast.
The free, two-day festival, taking place May 25-26, covers 17 blocks in the Mission District, with five main stages, 50 local artists and 400 vendors. There will also be international food, dancing, tastings and entertainment for families, couples and friends of all ethnic, social and economic backgrounds.

Listen to this note:
Correctional Health Services and San Mateo County Sheriff's Office, have installed a machine to dispense free doses of Narcan, the medication that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose, in the public lobby of the Maguire Correctional Center in Redwood City.
The goal is to reduce harm to the community and potentially save lives, as the machine delivers a box of Narcan containing two doses to anyone who needs it, including inmates being released, their families and friends, and the general public.
A nasal spray, Narcan (the brand name for the drug naloxone) is safe to use and easy to deploy, making it possible for anyone (friends, bystanders) to provide life-saving help.
While first responders carry naloxone, the drug can be administered even before calling 911, since seconds count if someone is experiencing an overdose.
The California Department of Public Health recommends that friends and family members who know someone at higher risk for an opioid overdose, especially those with opioid use disorder, carry naloxone and keep it at home.
Additionally, she said, people who take high doses of opioid medications prescribed by a doctor, as well as those who use opioids and benzodiazepines together and/or who use drugs, should carry naloxone with them and inform others that they have it in case they experience an opioid overdose.
It is worth noting that California's Good Samaritan law protects those who provide emergency medical care at the scene of a medical emergency, including the administration of naloxone.
The vending machine also offers a touch screen to provide information about other available services, such as food, housing, substance abuse treatment, mental health, probation and parole.
“This effort took over a year and is the result of a great partnership with the Sheriff’s Office,” said Correctional Health Services Director Michael del Rosario. “As we strive to improve the services we provide to our incarcerated individuals and the community, we hope we can help save some lives with this project.”
In May 2023, following a public study session on the growing public health threat posed by cheap opioids and fentanyl, the Board of Supervisors recommended providing access to naloxone; increasing cooperation between the County Health Department, public safety officials, and other stakeholders; promoting public education; and collecting data to identify at-risk areas or populations.
The novel Contradeseo by Gloria Susana Esquivel is this Saturday's recommendation. Camilasbooks brings us a recommendation that, in the words of the reviewer herself, has deeply affected her.
This Saturday, she brings us a recommendation that, in the words of the reviewer herself, has deeply affected her. The novel Contradeseo by Gloria Susana Esquivel, she said, presents the darkest side of friendship, where the characters face their own desires and miseries in a very small and quite intense environment.
The Colombian-born author, who is not only a writer but also a journalist, professor and poet, said Camilasbooks that she will not disappoint them, because through the story she presents, she is “very engaging” in a not-too-long reading that carries the text in a dynamic and fun way.
The book talks about migration in search of a rather vague future, Camilasbook explained.
Through this story, we learn the story of Silvia, a woman who breaks up with her partner and is left with an existential crisis, she has nowhere to stay and is in a country that is not hers because she is Latina and is living in the United States.
Faced with this problem, she contacts her friend Teresa, who is newly married, and offers to let her stay at her house for a day while she tries to sort out her situation; this stay begins to get longer, so they make an agreement and Silvia stays in the house in exchange for domestic service, which becomes an intricate game of desires and intense discovery.
“As the days go by, the protagonists find themselves involved in a dynamic that totally challenges the boundaries of what is work and what is sensual, and through this narrative, they somehow immerse us in an analysis of the identity of the power of sexuality, immersing us in the darkest corners of our minds,” says Camilasbooks.
To learn more about this recommendation, listen to Camilasbooks in her review this week.
Israel y la mera neta: Genocidio, muchos decimos, y cuestionamos ¿por qué cuando Israel usa a Palestina como un campo de experimentación de espionaje no se dieron cuenta que llegaba el ataque del 7 de octubre?

Hola, prójimo, primo, “compa” y hermano.
50 workers Google fueron despedidos por ocupar oficinas de la compañía en Nueva York y Silicon Valley. Protestaban porque su trabajo digno está siendo utilizado por Google para hacer fechorías sobre los palestinos.
Genocidio, muchos decimos, y cuestionamos ¿por qué cuando Israel usa a Palestina como un campo de experimentación de espionaje no se dieron cuenta que llegaba el ataque del 7 de octubre?
Algunos decimos que sí lo sabían; lo que querían, es hacer lo que están haciendo.
Google and Amazon con su proyecto Cloud Nimbus, le otorga a Israel poder de espiar sobre los palestinos y saben quién es quién, y deciden quién es el enemigo y los despedazan a la par de sus familias.
¿Ya los asusté? Pues ahora viene lo bueno.
En UCLA, al sur de California, manifestantes pacíficamente protestaban para frenar la ocupación de Israel en la Franja de Gaza. Luego, llegó un grupo de 250 hombres blancos, maduros, con palos, quienes repartieron violencia contra los manifestantes.
La policía estaba presente, pero no hizo nada por dos horas y 33 minutos para detener los madrazos. Al siguiente día, la ley llegó y destruyó el campamento, llevándose a los más resistentes.
First of all, we we scale, because they told us that those with the clubs were Proud Boys and other racist right-wing groups.
It gets better.
Ahora resulta que en la bola había miembros de un grupo secreto -pero ni tanto- que se llama Canary Mission (la misión del canario), grupo israelita que tiene el mismo modus operandi que los espías mencionados anteriormente.
Ahora llega la pregunta: ¿Qué pasaría si el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, que es autor y cómplice de Israel, utilizara los métodos mencionados para controlar a manifestantes que estemos protestando porque nos quieren sacar de este país?
Hombre de Riverside que disparó contra dos judíos afuera de sinagogas se declara culpable, Jaime Tran, de 29 años, aceptó todos los cargos en su contra: dos cargos de crímenes de odio con intención de matar y dos cargos de uso, porte y disparo de un arma de fuego durante y en relación con un crimen de violencia.
Listen to this note:
Un ex residente de Riverside que el año pasado disparó e hirió a dos hombres judíos cuando salían de servicios religiosos en el área de Pico-Robertson de Los Ángeles se declaró culpable de crímenes de odio y delitos con armas de fuego, informó el California Department of Justice.
Jaime Tran, de 29 años, aceptó declararse culpable de todos los cargos en su contra: dos cargos de crímenes de odio con intención de matar y dos cargos de uso, porte y disparo de un arma de fuego durante y en relación con un crimen de violencia.
Se espera que Tran se declare culpable de los cargos de delitos graves ante el juez de distrito de los Estados Unidos, George H. Wu, en las próximas semanas.
Al declararse culpable, Tran enfrentará una sentencia máxima legal de cadena perpetua en una prisión federal por cada cargo de crimen de odio, y una sentencia máxima de cadena perpetua y una sentencia mínima obligatoria de 10 años por cada cargo de arma de fuego.
Según el acuerdo de culpabilidad, que los fiscales presentaron el pasado martes 14 de mayo, Tran recibiría una sentencia de prisión de entre 35 y 40 años.
“Este acusado intentó asesinar a dos hombres simplemente porque eran judíos”, dijo el fiscal federal Martín Estrada. “Sin embargo, en lugar de permitir que estos horribles crímenes nos dividan, nuestra comunidad se unió y rápidamente llevó al perpetrador ante la justicia. El odio y la intolerancia no tienen cabida en Estados Unidos. Nos mantendremos firmes en nuestro enfoque de utilizar todas las herramientas a nuestra disposición para procesar agresivamente los actos de odio”.
Por su parte, la subdirectora interina de la oficina local del FBI en Los Ángeles, Krysti Hawkins, refirió que “el odio del acusado lo llevó a planear el asesinato de dos víctimas inocentes simplemente porque creía que practicaban su fe judía”.
Hawkins dijo sentirse aliviada de que el arduo trabajo de los investigadores y fiscales llevara a que Tran admitiera los crímenes y espera que los miembros de la comunidad judía se consuelen al saber que él no estará en condiciones de atacar a sus compañeros.
“Estoy agradecido por el arduo trabajo que nuestros investigadores y fiscales han realizado en este caso”, subrayó el jefe de policía de Los Ángeles, Dominic Choi. “Los crímenes de odio desgarran la estructura de nuestras comunidades y nuestra seguridad. El Departamento de Policía de Los Ángeles es más fuerte a través de nuestras asociaciones federales y sirve mejor a la gente de Los Ángeles”.
Según su acuerdo de declaración de culpabilidad, Tran desarrolló y abrazó creencias antisemitas e hizo amenazas violentas contra el pueblo judío.
En 2018, Tran dejó la escuela de odontología después de hacer declaraciones llenas de odio sobre otros estudiantes a quienes percibía como judíos.
Desde agosto hasta diciembre de 2022, las declaraciones antisemitas de Tran aumentaron e incluyeron un lenguaje cada vez más violento, incluso contra un excompañero de clase a quien llamó y envió mensajes de texto repetidamente con mensajes como “Te quiero muerto, judío”, “Alguien te va a matar, judío” y “Quemar en la cámara del horno”, informó el Departamento de Justicia de California en un comunicado.
Agregó que, en noviembre de 2022, Tran envió por correo electrónico a dos docenas de excompañeros de clase un folleto que contenía propaganda antisemita, incluida la declaración: “CADA ASPECTO DE LA AGENDA COVID ES JUDÍO”. El mes siguiente, Tran envió por correo electrónico a sus antiguos compañeros de clase extractos de un sitio web que describía a los judíos como “primitivos” y con “cráneos gruesos”.
Como resultado de detenciones de salud mental anteriores, a partir de 2023, a Tran se le prohibió comprar armas de fuego.
En enero de 2023, en Phoenix, Tran le pidió a un tercero que le comprara dos armas de fuego. Tran seleccionó las armas de fuego que quería y pagó aproximadamente de mil 500 dólares en efectivo al tercero, quien luego las compró.
En la mañana del 15 de febrero de 2023, Tran utilizó Internet para buscar lugares con un “mercado kosher” y planeó dispararle a alguien cerca de un mercado kosher porque creía que habría judíos en el área.
Tran condujo hasta Pico-Robertson y disparó a una víctima judía que llevaba una kipá cuando salía de los servicios religiosos en una sinagoga. Tran, creyendo que la víctima era judía, le disparó a quemarropa en la espalda, con la intención de matarlo. Luego, Tran huyó de la escena en su automóvil.
A la mañana siguiente, el 16 de febrero de 2023, Tran regresó al área de Pico-Robertson con la intención de dispararle a otra persona judía, y lo hizo. La víctima también vestía una kipá y salía de una sinagoga después de asistir a servicios religiosos. El perpetrador le disparó a quemarropa con la intención de matarlo mientras la víctima cruzaba la calle. Tran nuevamente huyó de la escena.
Ambas víctimas sobrevivieron a los ataques. Las autoridades arrestaron a Tran el 17 de febrero y permanece bajo custodia desde entonces.
El FBI y el Departamento de Policía de Los Ángeles siguen investigando el asunto.
