The feds have been investigating Maywood for years. I remember just after the Maywood 1 protest, one of our old members who was a police officer there, signed on our old board and told us exactly what was going on and the feds were investigating the city council and others. He told us how the drug cartels were using the restaurants in town, giving them free food and drinks to get close to them and such.
The scary thing is that about two years ago a restaurant was opened up in Fillmore by a family who also has a restaurant there in Maywood and the surrounding towns. It's called El Pascodar or (the fisherman), not sure I spelled the Spanish name correctly. But I also remember reading something a few months back about there being an investigation in Maywood involving gang/drugs/city council and the connection was the restaurants, specifically seafood restaurants.
