>> Reporter: THE AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE SAID CBP HERDED ASYLUM SEEKERS INTO REMOTE AREAS.

HE SAID ONCE THEIR PEOPLE WERE COUNTED, PREREGISTERED, BUT WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE AND WERE DEPRIVED OF BASIC NEEDS.

>> IT IS DISTURBING TO SEE HUMAN BEINGS TRAPPED BETWEEN THE WALLS ON U.S.

>>> WE ARE LEARNING WHAT CAUSED DRINKING WATER CONTAMINATION ON TWO NAVY AIRCRAFT CARRIERS.

ANDREW DYER HAS MORE ON THE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS RELEASED THIS WEEK.

>> SAILORS ON TWO NUCLEAR POWER AIRCRAFT CARRIERS OPERATING OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST LAST FALL DRINK WATER CONTAMINATED WITH JET FUEL AND E. COLI BACTERIA BECAUSE OF CORROSION AND POOR MAINTENANCE, ACCORDING TO TWO INVESTIGATIONS RELEASED THIS WEEK.

IN SEPTEMBER, THEY NOTICED THAT THE WATER SMELLED AND TASTED LIKE FUEL.

THE SHIP WAS SIDELINED AND THE NAVAL AIR STATION WAS FLUSHED AND CLEANED FOR TWO WEEKS.

11 SAILORS WERE SICKENED BUT ALL RETURN TO NORMAL DUTY BY OCTOBER.

THEY FOUND ABOUT GASTRIC ON A POTABLE WATER TANK THAT HAD GONE UNDETECTED.

WATER ALSO BECAME CONTAMINATED ON THE SAN DIEGO-BASED AIRCRAFT CARRIER ABRAHAM LINCOLN JUST ONE WEEK LATER.

ACCORDING TO THE INVESTIGATION, WATER FROM THE BILGE SYSTEM LEAKED INTO THE DRINKING WATER THROUGH A HOLE IN A CORRODED PIPE.

THE BILGES COLLECT WASTEWATER FROM SINKS AND DRAINS.

THEY FOUND TESTS FROM AS EARLY AS JANUARY 2022 INDICATING THAT BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION.

THEY FALL TO THE SAILORS IN CHARGE OF THE TANKS.

IT WAS REPAIRED AND FLUSHED AND CLEANED.

THE NAVY SAID NO LINCOLN SAILORS FELL ILL. ANDREW DYER, KPBS NEWS.

>>> ELDER FRAUD IS AMONG THE MOST UNDERREPORTED CRIMES.

WHEN IT IS REPORTED, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFTEN TELLS VICTIMS WE CANNOT HELP YOU.

THAT COULD CHANGE WITH A SAN DIEGO CASE THAT HAS REVEALED A NATIONWIDE CRIMINAL NETWORK.

>> Reporter: THIS VIDEO SHOWS A 24-YEAR-OLD MEMBER OF AN ORGANIZED CRIME GROUP.

SHE IS PART OF A SOPHISTICATED EFFORT THAT ALLEGEDLY BUILT PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY OUT OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

THE FOOTAGES FROM A DOORBELL CAMERA.

WE OBTAINED THE VIDEO FROM POLICE.

THE COUPLE IS SEEING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

FOR JUDITH, THE VIDEO BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF THE FATEFUL CALL SHE RECEIVED IN MAY OF 2020.

>> IT WAS MY GRANDSON, TROY.

HE HAD HAD AN ACCIDENT.

THE POLICE HAVE ARRESTED HIM.

>> Reporter: HE TOLD HER HOW MUCH MONEY HE NEEDED AND SHE COULD NOT TELL HIS FATHER.

>> IT WAS $7600 THAT THEY WANTED.

CASH.

EVERYTHING IS CASH.

>> Reporter: SHE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

HE HAD ALL THE ANSWERS.

>> HE SAID THAT SOMEONE WAS GOING TO COME PICK IT UP BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET OUT OF JAIL.

I DID WHAT EVERY GRANDMA DOES, HELPED HIM.

PROTECT THE VOICE ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE WAS NOT HER GRANDSON.

LAW ENFORCEMENT SAID THEY ARE AMONG DOZENS OF PEOPLE IN SAN DIEGO AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHO HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO A SO- CALLED GRANDPARENTS SCAN RUN BY A NATIONWIDE CRIMINAL SYNDICATE .

IT IS CALLED THE ENTERPRISE.

>> THIS IS SO MUCH MORE RAMPANT THAN ANYONE IN THE COUNTRY IS WILLING TO ADMIT.

>> Reporter: THAT IS DA SCOTT PARRILLA.

HE SAID THE SCAM IS AN OLD CRIME, BUT THE ENTERPRISE HAS TAKEN IT TO A NEW LEVEL.

>> YOUR NAME IS JESSICA.

YOU ARE GOING RIGHT BACK THERE?

>> Reporter: SHE IS NOT JESSICA.

SHE IS JASMINE FROM LOS ANGELES.

THE INDICTMENT EXPLAINS HOW COURIERS LIKE HER WERE AT THE BOTTOM RUNG OF THE LADDER.

SHE ALLEGEDLY TOOK THE MONEY AND PASSED IT TO A CREW CHIEF WHO OVERSEES OTHER COURIERS.

IT WAS THEN PASSED UP TO THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION.

SHE WAS EVENTUALLY ARRESTED IN 2021 AND CHARGED WITH 33 FELONIES INCLUDING EXTORTION, FRAUD, AND MONEY LAUNDERING.

THIS WAS NOT HER ONLY COURIER STOP.

THIS CASE WOULD OPEN THE EYES OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO THE POTENTIAL BREADTH OF THE ENTERPRISE ORGANIZATION.

>> THERE WAS A NETWORK OF MONEY- LAUNDERING SYNDICATE ABOVE HER.

THAT LAUNCHED A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION.

>> Reporter: A PROSECUTOR IN THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN SAN DIEGO SPOKE TO US.

SHE SAID THE ARREST GOT THE FEDS INTERESTED.

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT USUALLY PAY ATTENTION TO OLDER FRAUD ABUSE, BUT THIS ONE WAS DIFFERENT.

>> SHE LET US TO OTHERS ON THE WEST COAST..

THEY FORMED THE FIRST OF ITS KIND CRIME-FIGHTING TEAM THE SAN DIEGO ELDER JUSTICE TASK FORCE.

THE ENTERPRISE MEMBERS WERE PROSECUTED UNDER THE FEDERAL RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS ACT.

THAT CAN LEAD TO LONGER PRISON TERMS AND LARGER FINES.

>> A RICO INDICTMENT IN A CASE LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS A WATERSHED MOMENT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ELDER SCAMS.

>> Reporter: A GRAND JURY INDICTMENT FOLLOWED IN 2021 NAMING EIGHT MEMBERS.

INVESTIGATORS SAY THEY WERE ABLE TO BREAK THE CASE BECAUSE THE ENTERPRISE GOT TOO GREEDY.

COURIERS TRIED TO SQUEEZE MORE MONEY OUT OF THEIR VICTIMS.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

>> SHE CALLED BACK AFTER HE GOT THE MONEY AND HE WANTED $21,000 MORE.

>> Reporter: THE COUPLE HEADED TO THEIR BANK TO TAKE THE MONEY OUT.

>> THE GIRLS AT THE BANK SAID THIS IS A SCAM.

I SAID, NO.

IT IS ABOUT MY GRANDSON.

SHE SAID, YOU START CALLING YOUR WHOLE FAMILY.

IT IS A SCAM.

THE NEXT BREAKTHROUGH CAME WHEN THE TASK FORCE LEARNED OF A SIMILAR SCENARIO THAT PLAYED OUT IN OHIO.

>> THE BY THEN REALIZED THAT IT WAS NOT RIGHT.

WHEN HE SHOWED UP THEY ARRESTED HIM, SEIZED HIS PHONE DEVICES.

THE CASE GOT BETTER AFTER THAT.

>> Reporter: THE PHONES PROVIDED A WEALTH OF LEADS.

THEY NOW HAD A ROADMAP TO THE NETWORK.

THEY HAD INFORMATION OF OPERATIONS AND FLORIDA, ARIZONA NEW YORK AND TEXAS.

>> THEY STUDY PSYCHOLOGY AND THEY KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO GET THE HOOK IN THE VICTIM.

>> Reporter: THE INVESTIGATION SHOWS HOW VULNERABLE THOUSANDS OF OLDER AMERICANS ARE.

IT HAS BROUGHT A NEW AWARENESS OF ELDER FRAUD TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.

>> WE WILL NOT EDUCATE OUR WAY OUT OF THIS PROBLEM.

WE NEED SERIOUS ACTION FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT, GOVERNMENT, FROM THE BANKING INDUSTRY AND RETAIL INDUSTRY.

WE NEED A MONUMENTAL RESPONSE TO THIS MONUMENTAL PROBLEM.

>> Reporter: AS FOR THE ONGOING EFFORT AGAINST THE ENTERPRISE GANG?

>> WE WILL FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE AND GET IT DONE.

>> THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SAID SIX INDICTED MEMBERS OF THE ENTERPRISE HAVE PLEADED GUILTY.

MULTIPLE INVESTIGATIONS ARE ONGOING.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, MONTANA BECOMES THE FIRST STATE TO FULLY BAN THE SOCIAL MEDIA APP TIKTOK.

AS TANIA THORNE EXPLAINS, THEY DID FIND SUCCESS WITH SAFE PARKING.

>> Reporter: ANTHONY WHITE REMEMBERS A TIME WHEN HE WAS LIVING OUT OF HIS CAR.

AT NIGHT HE FOUND HIMSELF HAVING TO MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE.

>> DIFFERENT PLACES THAT I THOUGHT I COULD BE BOTH UNDISTURBED AND UNDESERVING.

I DID NOT WANT TO BOTHER PEOPLE WITH MY PRESENCE.

MAC HE WAS TRYING TO FIND HIS WAY AFTER THE MILITARY WHEN HE LOST HIS HOUSING AND HAD TO LIVE OUT OF HIS TRUCK.

>> THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE BESIDES HOW TO GET OUT OF THE SITUATION WAS WHERE DO I SLEEP AT NIGHT?

HOW DO I FIND A PLACE TO REST.

>> Reporter: HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK ON HIS FEET BUT THE LIVED EXPERIENCE HAS LED HIM TO ADVOCATE FOR SAFE PARKING SITES FOR PEOPLE LIVING OUT OF THEIR CARS.

HE IS EXCITED TO SEE A SITE IN THE WORKS FOR THE CITY.

IT WILL MARK THE SECOND SAFE PARKING SITE FOR THE NORTH COUNTY REGION.

>> WE ARE STANDING THE SPOT THAT WILL SOON BE THE CITY OF VISTA'S SAFE PARKING PROGRAM WITH 25 PARKING SPOTS THAT WILL INCLUDE CASE MANAGEMENT AND OVERNIGHT SECURITY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS AND SLEEPING IN THEIR CARS.

>> Reporter: THE CITY COUNCILMEMBER PRESENTED THIS IDEA OVER ONE YEAR AGO.

SHE SAID DIFFERENT SITES WERE CONSIDERED FOR THE LOCATION OF THE SAFE PARKING SITE.

>> BASED ON THE SIZE AND CAPACITY NEEDED FOR THE LOT AS WELL AS JUST WHAT WAS AVAILABLE, THE CIVIC CENTER PARKING LOT ENDED UP BEING THE BEST CHOICE FOR US.

I THINK IT WILL BE A GREAT LOCATION.

FOR MAC THAT IS BECAUSE THE PARKING LOT IS EMPTY AFTER HOURS AND HAVE ACCESS TO BATHROOM FACILITIES JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES WILL HELP TO RUN THE PROJECT.

THEY OPERATE FIVE OTHER SAFE PARKING SITES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY INCLUDING ONE IN ENCINITAS.

>> THIS WILL BE PRETTY SIMILAR TO THE LOT HERE.

IT WILL BE 25 SPACES.

WILL BE DURING OVERNIGHT HOURS ONLY AND WE KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE OPERATING IN THIS AREA THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A NEED.

WE EXPECT UTILIZATION TO BE HIGH.

>> Reporter: THE ENCINITAS SITE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR OVER TWO YEARS.

THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE USING THE SITE ARE OVER AGE 50 WITH FULL-TIME JOBS.

>> WE SEE A LOT OF OLDER ADULTS AND PEOPLE THAT NEVER IMAGINED THEY WOULD BE IN THIS SITUATION.

THE KEY TO SAFE PARKING IS WE ARE ABLE TO INTERVENE WITH SERVICES EARLY BEFORE SOMEBODY HAS TO EXPERIENCE LIVING ON THE STREET.

>> Reporter: HE SAID ONE THIRD OF PARTICIPANTS HAVE GONE INTO PERMANENT HOUSING THROUGH THE PROGRAM AND HALF HAVE MADE POSITIVE PROGRESS.

IT WILL ACCOMMODATE 25 CARS FROM 6:00 P.M. TO 7:00 A.M. AND WILL OPEN IN AUGUST.

TANIA THORNE, KPBS NEWS.

THIS FESTIVAL DID THIS FOR ME.

>> Reporter: IT CONTINUES TO DO IT FOR OTHERS AND IT UPHOLDS THE INTERNATIONAL FRINGE TRADITION OF GIVING 100% OF THE BOX OFFICE TO ARTISTS AND PROVIDING AN UNCENSORED PLATFORM.

PERHAPS NO-SHOW BETTER FITS THE MISSION STATEMENT UNCENSORED HEART WHICH DIRECTLY ADDRESSES ISSUES OF ARTISTIC FREEDOM.
