He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods.

The First Amendment Coalition and KQED are arguing for more documents, according to recent court filings. They're also pushing for prompt production of an index of files the Department of Justice hasn't yet provided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Plaintiffs submitted their records requests six months ago,\" the organizations' attorneys wrote in a recent status report. \"[T]he Court issued its order on the merits nearly one month ago. And the government has yet to explain why creating an index of responsive files — not even of individual records — should take so long.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During arguments in May, Judge Ulmer disagreed with the attorney general's arguments that the law applies only to records on employees of any given agency.\u003cbr>\n[pullquote align=\"right\" citation=\"San Francisco Superior Court Judge Richard Ulmer\"]\"What this all sounds like to me is you don't want to do the work at the attorney general's office.\"[/pullquote]\u003cbr>\n\"In plain English it just says 'records maintained by any state or local agency,'\" Ulmer said, referring to the text of the new law. \"That is precisely what it says.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorney general's office had cited just one example of a case involving a local police department that includes 109,000 files to argue that providing that information would be too difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ulmer called the argument \"terse and conclusory.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What this all sounds like to me is you don't want to do the work at the attorney general's office,\" the judge said. \"And I sort of get that because it's going to be onerous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the attorney general is asking San Francisco-based appellate judges to overturn Ulmer's order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The trial court ... misconstrued the scope of the Department's duties by concluding the Department must disclose not only records relating to its \u003cem>own\u003c/em> employed officers, but also records regarding officers employed by other agencies,\" the appeal says, adding that the \"onerous burden of reviewing, redacting, and disclosing records regarding other agencies' officers — a burden that the trial court itself acknowledged would be substantial — outweighs the public interest in obtaining those records from the Department of Justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear at this point whether the appeals court will hear the case, which is still being negotiated under Ulmer.

The other case involved a Southern California senior agent \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11750358/california-attorney-general-releases-records-of-agent-fired-for-lies-and-racist-comments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fired in 2010\u003c/a> for dishonesty about an affair with a subordinate and for making racist comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The files appear incomplete, however. The First Amendment Coalition and KQED are arguing for more documents, according to recent court filings. They're also pushing for prompt production of an index of files the Department of Justice hasn't yet provided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Plaintiffs submitted their records requests six months ago,\" the organizations' attorneys wrote in a recent status report. \"[T]he Court issued its order on the merits nearly one month ago. And the government has yet to explain why creating an index of responsive files — not even of individual records — should take so long.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During arguments in May, Judge Ulmer disagreed with the attorney general's arguments that the law applies only to records on employees of any given agency.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

All 10 attorneys general are Democrats. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit is an unusual step by state officials ahead of a decision by federal antitrust authorities. The Justice Department’s decision is pending. The Republican majority of the Federal Communications Commission \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/844c1fdfd1684297a659b850b3c32128\">supports the deal\u003c/a>, though the agency has yet to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too many “mega mergers have sailed through the governmental approval process,” so it’s up to the states to “step up,” said New York Attorney General Letitia James at a news conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no rule or regulation that we have to wait for the DOJ,” she said, adding that attorneys general will “continue to litigate whether the DOJ approves the merger or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diana Moss, the president of the American Antitrust Institute, said the states’ lawsuit could signal to other potential merger partners that there would be tougher enforcement from states, even if the federal government permitted deals to go through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James said Tuesday that her office’s renewed focus on mergers and anti-competitiveness goes beyond the tech industry, though she did not elaborate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile and Sprint have argued that they need to bulk up to upgrade to a fast, powerful 5G mobile network that competes with Verizon and AT&T. The companies are appealing to President Trump’s \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/402d7c2651914d31a4f216f81eadda53\">desire for the U.S. to “win”\u003c/a> a global 5G race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates, labor unions and \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/ce07aeed2cab4f3483f065d6d701fcb6\">many Democratic lawmakers\u003c/a> worry that the deal could mean job cuts, higher wireless prices and a hit to the rural cellphone market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amanda Wait, an antitrust lawyer who formerly worked for the Federal Trade Commission, said states are taking action because they disagree with what they have seen the federal government doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They see the FCC accepting certain remedies and concessions that don’t, in their minds, solve the problem,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile declined to comment. Sprint and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One famous example of when the states and the federal government diverged on a big antitrust case was in the fight against Microsoft, although that was not a merger case.

All 10 attorneys general are Democrats. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit is an unusual step by state officials ahead of a decision by federal antitrust authorities. The Justice Department’s decision is pending. The Republican majority of the Federal Communications Commission \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/844c1fdfd1684297a659b850b3c32128\">supports the deal\u003c/a>, though the agency has yet to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too many “mega mergers have sailed through the governmental approval process,” so it’s up to the states to “step up,” said New York Attorney General Letitia James at a news conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no rule or regulation that we have to wait for the DOJ,” she said, adding that attorneys general will “continue to litigate whether the DOJ approves the merger or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diana Moss, the president of the American Antitrust Institute, said the states’ lawsuit could signal to other potential merger partners that there would be tougher enforcement from states, even if the federal government permitted deals to go through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James said Tuesday that her office’s renewed focus on mergers and anti-competitiveness goes beyond the tech industry, though she did not elaborate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile and Sprint have argued that they need to bulk up to upgrade to a fast, powerful 5G mobile network that competes with Verizon and AT&T. The companies are appealing to President Trump’s \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/402d7c2651914d31a4f216f81eadda53\">desire for the U.S. to “win”\u003c/a> a global 5G race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates, labor unions and \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/ce07aeed2cab4f3483f065d6d701fcb6\">many Democratic lawmakers\u003c/a> worry that the deal could mean job cuts, higher wireless prices and a hit to the rural cellphone market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amanda Wait, an antitrust lawyer who formerly worked for the Federal Trade Commission, said states are taking action because they disagree with what they have seen the federal government doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They see the FCC accepting certain remedies and concessions that don’t, in their minds, solve the problem,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>T-Mobile declined to comment.

The attorney general’s office produced the records in response to a San Francisco judge’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11747908/s-f-court-rejects-state-attorney-generals-stalling-rules-for-release-of-police-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ruling\u003c/a> earlier this month in a lawsuit by the First Amendment Coalition and KQED seeking their release under the law, SB 1421.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Telish fought the firing in a series of administrative and court actions that lasted into 2015. He still disputes the grounds for his dismissal, which he says was wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to an investigative report included in 253 pages of newly disclosed documents, Telish lied to supervisors about his relationship with a woman, Linda Drylie, who worked for him when he was the director of LA Impact, an interagency drug-trafficking task force for the DOJ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drylie’s name was redacted in the DOJ report, but she filed her own lawsuit in 2011 against Telish and the state agency alleging assault, battery and emotional distress.

Telish said they settled out of court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drylie did not respond to request for comment.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nThe report said Telish tried to keep the relationship secret, but that his superiors heard of it after Drylie reportedly confided in co-workers about the affair. Investigators found Telish lied both to a supervisor who asked him directly about the rumored relationship and to other officials at LA Impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report said Telish then confronted the woman and demanded she tell one of his superiors she had made up the story about their affair. She later told investigators Telish had over 100 sexually explicit photos of her and that he threatened to send the images to her son and others unless she denied the affair. She told investigators Telish coached her on what to say. “He made me perjure myself,” the report quotes her as saying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Telish said he never threatened or pressured Drylie in any way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice launched its investigation into Telish after Drylie left her state job in 2008 and took a position as an assistant to the police chief in the Orange County town of Placentia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2009, the state investigative report recounted, the chief filed a complaint with the state after Drylie told him Telish had assaulted her. The report says Telish held her down on a couch “while trying to review her cellphone messages and call log to determine if she was dating other men.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice opened a criminal inquiry. An investigator directed Drylie to record her telephone calls with Telish and to try to get him to talk about his past alleged threats and assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of the eight recorded conversations, Telish appears to agree with the account that he had held her down while he inspected her phone, according to the documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report says Telish was also recorded using a racist slur to refer to an African American supervisor, calling Italian Americans “dirty whiteys” and making sexually degrading comments during the taped calls. The Department of Justice cited those statements in Telish’s termination notice, saying the comments “caused extreme and irreparable discredit to the department.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Telish said he didn’t remember making those statements, but if he did, it was “banter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other grounds for Telish’s July 2010 dismissal included “inexcusable neglect of duty,” dishonesty, discourteous treatment of the public or other employees, willful disobedience, misuse of state property, violations of rules regulating use of state time or facilities for private gain, and “other failure of good behavior either during or outside duty hours which is of such a nature that it causes discredit” to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The alleged assault was referred to Orange County prosecutors, who declined to file charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Telish challenged his firing in appeals to the State Personnel Board, which issued a final ruling against him in August 2011. He then filed lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The main basis for Telish’s court challenge was an assertion that the phone recordings were improper and should have been inadmissible in his employment case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court papers, Telish’s attorneys said the calls were part of a \"sham\" criminal investigation. The Superior Court rejected that argument, as did the state’s 2nd District Court of Appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A participant may properly record a telephone conversation at the direction of a law enforcement officer, acting within the course of his or her authority, in the course of a criminal investigation.” the appeals panel ruled in March 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Telish said in an interview last week he still feels the state’s investigation and his firing were unfair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had an unblemished career until that point,” Telish said. “I felt they shouldn’t be taking my career away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The newly released investigative report includes a summary of Telish’s climb with the Department of Justice, where he went to work in 1996. He rose through a series of promotions up to being named one of the top state law enforcement officers in Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final promotion came just three months before the altercation with Drylie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has ruined my life.

"content": "\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, like the reporters who cover him, has had a busy two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a brisk clip of two new legal challenges every month, the state’s top law enforcement officer has turned the California Justice Department into one of the country’s most influential and prodigious battle stations of resistance to Washington policy. It’s not an original strategy. During the Obama presidency, attorneys general in Texas, Oklahoma and West Virginia regularly made an effort to trip up the White House in court (and made names for themselves in the process).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But under Becerra’s legal stewardship, California is now outgunning even Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At last count, his office has sued the Trump administration 47 times (you can read about each \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/becerra-v-trump-california-using-courts-fight-administration/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>). That doesn’t include California’s legal requests that the court enforce prior victories against the federal government, nor cases in which the state came to the defense of Obama-era programs that the Trump administration declined to defend (counting those brings the total to 49, the number cited by Becerra’s office). Nor does it include, for instance, \u003ca href=\"http://universityofcalifornia.edu/sites/default/files/UC-DACA-Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a suit\u003c/a> filed by the University of California to block the Trump administration from rescinding protections for immigrants without legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11741460 alignright\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528-1020x1556.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"687\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528-1020x1556.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528-160x244.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528-800x1221.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528-786x1200.jpg 786w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\">\u003c/a>That’s to say nothing of the many “friends of the court” briefs, official regulatory comments and many other public declarations of California’s disapproval of D.C. policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Texas, reviled by Democrats as a symbol of vexatious legal obstructionism, eight years to file that many suits against Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so far, Becerra’s legal strategy has been successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As an advocate on these issues it’s really quite amazing what he has accomplished,” said Christopher Gray, a spokesperson for the State Energy and Environmental Impact Center at New York University’s school of law. As of now, Becerra has won 16 cases and only lost two. Twenty-six more are pending, a testament to how slowly the wheels of justice turn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts say the legal battle between blue states and the Trump administration may be entering a new phase. Many of the initial challenges by Becerra and other state attorneys general have hinged on questions of regulatory process—whether a federal agency followed the rules of administrative procedure as it set about transforming U.S. immigration law or environmental regulations. But now that the Trump administration has had time to correct errors or to move on from simply delaying implementation of Obama-era rules to introducing regulations of its own, a new round of battles over the future of environmental regulation, immigration enforcement, health policy and consumer protection are set to begin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra’s unprecedented show of legal force is part of a nationwide trend. According to data collected by Paul Nolette, a political scientist at Marquette University, states have filed 71 joint lawsuits against the administration in just two years. That’s at least 10 more than all the state challenges filed against the White House during the entirety of Obama’s two-term presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats argue this is proof of the Trump administration’s disregard for the rule of law. Nolette sees it as part of a larger trend in which attorneys general have become partisan figures of increasing national importance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to the Obama administration, state attorneys general “saw themselves as legal representatives of their own states,” said Nolette. “Now it’s far more about taking actions consistent with their party and what their policy priorities are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11727216,forum_2010101869879,science_1919045\" label=\"Some of California's lawsuits\"]Constantly suing the White House has been a successful political strategy for Becerra too. Despite taking some \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/xavier-becerra-police-accountability-progressives/\">positions\u003c/a> at home that put him at odds with many progressives, California’s soft-spoken attorney general has become a regularly featured talking head on MSNBC, a figurehead of blue America’s opposition to the president. Earlier this year he was tapped to give the Spanish language rebuttal to President Trump’s state of the union speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have slammed Becerra for using the office to advance his political brand—a common line of attack from Becerra’s general election challenger, Republican Steven Bailey, last year. Alas, Becerra won by nearly 30 percentage points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a Democrat in California, suing the Trump administration is “almost all upside,” said Nolette. “You get media attention, (and) of course, you could win.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra’s office has been doing plenty of that. But as even some political allies concede, that has as much to do with the Trump administration’s rapid-fire approach to de-regulation as Becerra’s legal strategizing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra “has been very effective” in pushing back against the White House, said Gray from New York University.

It’s not an original strategy. During the Obama presidency, attorneys general in Texas, Oklahoma and West Virginia regularly made an effort to trip up the White House in court (and made names for themselves in the process).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But under Becerra’s legal stewardship, California is now outgunning even Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At last count, his office has sued the Trump administration 47 times (you can read about each \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/becerra-v-trump-california-using-courts-fight-administration/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>). That doesn’t include California’s legal requests that the court enforce prior victories against the federal government, nor cases in which the state came to the defense of Obama-era programs that the Trump administration declined to defend (counting those brings the total to 49, the number cited by Becerra’s office). Nor does it include, for instance, \u003ca href=\"http://universityofcalifornia.edu/sites/default/files/UC-DACA-Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a suit\u003c/a> filed by the University of California to block the Trump administration from rescinding protections for immigrants without legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11741460 alignright\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528-1020x1556.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"687\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528-1020x1556.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528-160x244.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528-800x1221.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528-786x1200.jpg 786w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/total-lawsuits-becerra-trump-1-e1555628319528.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\">\u003c/a>That’s to say nothing of the many “friends of the court” briefs, official regulatory comments and many other public declarations of California’s disapproval of D.C. policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Texas, reviled by Democrats as a symbol of vexatious legal obstructionism, eight years to file that many suits against Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so far, Becerra’s legal strategy has been successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As an advocate on these issues it’s really quite amazing what he has accomplished,” said Christopher Gray, a spokesperson for the State Energy and Environmental Impact Center at New York University’s school of law. As of now, Becerra has won 16 cases and only lost two. Twenty-six more are pending, a testament to how slowly the wheels of justice turn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts say the legal battle between blue states and the Trump administration may be entering a new phase. Many of the initial challenges by Becerra and other state attorneys general have hinged on questions of regulatory process—whether a federal agency followed the rules of administrative procedure as it set about transforming U.S. immigration law or environmental regulations. But now that the Trump administration has had time to correct errors or to move on from simply delaying implementation of Obama-era rules to introducing regulations of its own, a new round of battles over the future of environmental regulation, immigration enforcement, health policy and consumer protection are set to begin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Alas, Becerra won by nearly 30 percentage points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a Democrat in California, suing the Trump administration is “almost all upside,” said Nolette. “You get media attention, (and) of course, you could win.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra’s office has been doing plenty of that.
