The United States State Department has increased its reward for ex-Olympian Ryan Wedding from $10 million to $15 million and added him to the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted List. Authorities now believe Wedding is one of the top narcos in Mexico, and that arresting him would deal a massive blow to the inflow of cocaine into California.
It’s rare to see law-enforcement agencies set aside everything and coordinate effectively. These days, even the arrest of pedophiles somehow sparks partisan dogfights. But every so often, a situation — like the LA fires and the hunt for an arsonist — forces cooperation. In moments like that, Governor Gavin Newsom won’t just work with Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel; he’ll thank them for a job well done.
