tailing

"The tailings release and breach was promptly brought under control within hours of detection," the firm said in a statement on 3 September.

A few months later, undercover Internal Affairs detectives began tailing the two involved officers — something that Garza and Gonzalez both claimed they were kept in the dark about.

The spill happened when a tailings dam, used to store toxic waste and heavy metals, collapsed into the Kafue River, a key drinking water source, following heavy rain.

On June 12, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accompanied ICE agents to Huntington Park, with a film crew tailing her.

The deputy said he wasn’t able to, and detectives from the Sheriff’s Department’s Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau, who had been tailing Meiser throughout the day, seized the heroin from the patrol car.
