A look into Decker's relationship with his girls

Friday marks day seven of the state-wide manhunt for Travis Decker, the Wenatchee father accused of kidnapping and killing his three young daughters.
Today deputies say they are narrowing down the search to Chelan and surrounding counties, with a focus on the mountains.
This is thanks to more than five hundred tips from the public.
Now, KIRO 7 is sharing an exclusive video that gives a closer look into Decker's relationship with his daughters.
Since the beginning of the week, we have been in touch with the girls' mother, Whitney Decker, via her trusted friends and attorney. They tell us the reason this situation is so shocking is because they truly never saw it coming.
Through exclusive videos and pictures, we see Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia smiling, laughing, and having fun with their dad.
Whitney Decker even gave us a photo compilation turned into a video. She told her attorney she made the video as a Father's Day gift for Travis prior to this year.
Arianna Cozart said she has represented Whitney during the divorce between her and Travis. She said Travis was very present in the girls' lives.
'He was going to all the girls' dance and soccer practices, everything they did, you name it, he was being very active,' said Arianna Cozart, Whitney's attorney.
'Whitney would tell you Travis loved two things in this world,' Cozart said. 'Those girls and Jesus. That was Travis.'
But she tells us a lot changed after Travis came back from his Army tour in Afghanistan.
'He was able to keep it together for the girls, but he certainly wasn't kind to her [Whitney] and he struggled with feeling he was worth a family, feeling his life was worth that,' Cozart said.
Cozart said he is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and struggles with Complex PTSD.
'He sought resources, a lot of that we didn't know before he abducted the girls,' Cozart said.
She tells us those veteran's resources are crumbling, both here in the Valley and across the country. She said local organizations are even separating from some patients due to a lack of staffing and funding.
'If Travis would've been supported and his mental health struggles of course he never would've murdered his babies,' Cozart said.
She said one local VA especially is struggling.
'They haven't been able to see any new veteran patients for six months,' she said.
Because of this, Decker was without the help he needed to work through his mental health issues.
'I know Whitney believes that these children would not be dead if our government military veterans would've been supported,' Cozart said.
Right now, Whitney Decker isn't ready to speak out on this horrifying tragic situation. Cozart tells us in time, she will, saying she has already mentioned using her voice and story to advocate for veterans' mental health benefits so that this never happens to anyone else.

ICE raids upend Latino life in Orange County as climate of fear spreads

A handful of shoppers strolled through the sparsely populated aisles of the Anaheim Indoor Marketplace on a recent afternoon, a desolate scene in the wake of ICE raids in Orange County and across Southern California. Having served to illustrate Anaheim's changing demographics in the past, O.C.'s largest indoor swap meet now tells a somber story. Once home to more than 200 businesses under one roof that sold everything from jewelry to clothing, many stands have shuttered in the past week — and aren't coming back, according to shopkeepers that remain. 'Hopefully, things will get better soon,' said one vendor who asked to stay anonymous out of fear, even though they are a U.S. citizen. 'But right now, it seems like [ICE] is approaching anyone who is Latino.' Shopkeepers declined on-the-record interviews, but told the same story of fretting over making rent for their stalls, as business is in a freefall. On Father's Day weekend, the crowds disappeared. Scheduled music and cultural performances at the Anaheim Indoor Marketplace were canceled. Videos of masked federal agents arresting a man on June 12 at Pearson Park in Anaheim went viral on social media and amplified fears racial profiling. Prompted by the images, an Anaheim council member spoke to U.S. citizen who was stopped at the park by the agents who interrogated him about his immigration status. Sensing a climate of fear, Anaheim Mayor Ashleigh Aitken made a personal plea during the Anaheim City Council meeting on June 10. 'If you have a neighbor that is afraid to go to the grocery store to get food or necessities for their families, check in on them,' Aitken said. 'If you have a mother in your community that maybe is afraid to take her kids to camp or drop them off at school, perhaps offer a ride.' 'We need to stick together in these uncertain times,' she added. The raids are not only affecting businesses in Latino neighborhoods in O.C., but workers, too. Five jornaleros, or day laborers, sat in the shade next to a Home Depot in Anaheim as they awaited work. 'Are you la migra,' one asked a TimesOC reporter wearing a press badge, referring to ICE. The men expressed a fatalistic view as the pool of day laborers has dried up since the ICE raids arrived earlier this month, comparing them to death. 'If they take us, ni modo,' one day laborer said. 'Oh well.' He pointed up toward the sky before saying, 'With God, we will fortify ourselves.' Before the raids, dozens of day laborers congregated in different pockets of the vast parking lot, the men said. But that's no longer the case. 'The targeting of the most vulnerable people, either waiting on street corners or outside stores like Home Depot and Lowe's increases fears,' said Palmira Figueroa, a spokesperson for the National Day Laborers Organizing Network. 'People are staying home, even though that is not sustainable.' The five laborers, who had searched for work in Anaheim since 6:30 a.m. without much luck, accounted for about half of those present. 'I have a family, that's why I'm here,' a Mexican immigrant told TimesOC. 'I have to work because there's no other option.' The following morning, video surfaced of federal agents raiding the area. A witness saw day laborers running away before an unknown number of arrests were made. 'We do not have any specific knowledge,' said Mike Lyster, an Anaheim spokesperson, 'but it appears to be consistent with other federal enforcement activity that we've seen in our city.' In downtown Santa Ana, the raids have punched the city's restaurant scene in the gut. Luis Perez, a chef at Lola Gaspar and Chapter One, noted a 40% drop in sales at Lola Gaspar, a Mexico City-inspired gastrobar, even though it doesn't typically serve a working class Latino clientele. Amid a tumultuous week that saw ICE raids, protests and the deployment of the California National Guard in downtown, the back kitchen is where the impact hits hardest. 'My staff has been with me for over 10 years,' said Perez, a son of immigrants. 'It's seeing the fear in their eyes in not wanting to come to work and not wanting to leave their homes.' Two of Perez's Chapter One employees quit out of fear. 'These people are the backbone,' he said. 'I thought I'd never see this happen.' Back in Anaheim, the lunch rush at Tacos Los Güeros No. 2 was no rush at all. With tacos stuffed with choice meats at $1.80 each, the taquería usually attracts a line of patrons that coils out the front door of what once was a Carl's Jr. restaurant. Tacos Los Güeros No. 2 provided affordable meals for working class Latinos during the worst of the pandemic and the high inflation that followed. ICE raids are another matter. Most patrons trickle in and take orders to go. No more than four to six people sat down for a meal at a time in the dining area. The absence of patrons provided a clear view of a telling image through the windows. Rows of tables sat empty while a red 'Take America Back' Trump flag flapped from the backyard of a home that abuts the taquería's parking lot.

Judge that restored NIH grants after Trump order echoed famous McCarthy-era lawyer from Boston

McCarthy and his chief counsel, Roy Cohn, smeared people left and right, using innuendo instead of evidence, acting — as Erwin Griswold, a former Republican solicitor general and dean of Harvard Law School put it — as 'judge, jury, prosecutor, castigator, and press agent, all in one.' Welch was a partner at the Boston firm of Hale & Dorr and lived in Walpole. In the spring of 1954, McCarthy went after the Army, accusing it of lax security, leaving it open to communist infiltration. Welch took on McCarthy for the Army. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up For 30 days, Welch appeared before McCarthy's committee, making the Army's case, systematically showing that McCarthy's claims about the Army being soft on communism were unfounded. Advertisement Frustrated by Welch's ability to show the paucity of McCarthy's claims, McCarthy waved one of his distractions, asserting that Fred Fischer, a junior associate in Welch's law firm, while a student at Harvard Law School had been a member of the National Lawyers Guild, which McCarthy called the legal arm of the Communist Party. This violated an agreement that Welch and Cohn had made before the hearings, that Welch would not bring up Cohn's ability to avoid the draft in the Korean War, and the committee would not bring up Fischer having been associated with a legal organization that represented accused communists while in law school. Advertisement Welch's response to McCarthy would go down in history as 'Until this moment, Senator,' Welch said, 'I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness.' When McCarthy tried to interrupt, Welch added this dagger: 'Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?' Fast forward to another June, 71 years after Welch spoke those immortal lines, when US District Judge William G. Young, sitting in federal court in Boston, On Monday, Young accused the Trump administration of discriminating against minorities and members of the LGBTQ+ community and ordered the National Institutes of Health to restore hundreds of research grants that the Trump administration had dismissed as DEI-inspired 'woke' nonsense. 'I've sat on this bench now for 40 years. I've never seen government racial discrimination like this,' Young said. 'Is it true of our society as a whole? Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?' 'Have we no shame' sounds an awful lot like, 'Have you no sense of decency?' Young said the cuts to grants that funded research into racial disparities in health care were 'arbitrary and capricious,' that they were based not on reasoned policy, but on pure bias. The White House fired back, accusing Young of being, well, biased. Advertisement 'It is appalling that a federal judge would use court proceedings to express his political views and preferences,' White House spokesperson Kush Desai said in a statement. 'How is a judge going to deliver an impartial decision when he explicitly stated his biased opinion that the Administration's retraction of illegal DEI funding is racist and anti-LGBTQ?' Casting Young as some lefty activist jurist is a stretch. Early in his career, he served as chief counsel to Massachusetts Governor Frank Sargent, a Republican. Young was appointed to the federal bench by President Ronald Reagan, the patron saint of modern conservatism. Having watched Young in action for 40 years, I'd say he's biased mostly toward the Constitution. Brittany Charlton, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School, and one of the plaintiffs that challenged the Trump administration's cuts, said the administration was accusing the judge of the very bias it showed in making the cuts in the first place. She said Young's decision 'is an important step in protecting public health and allowing critical research to continue. Research that helps us understand and treat serious diseases should be based on science, not politics.' In his ruling, Young made it clear that he believed the Trump administration's rationale for cutting research about racial minorities and LGBTQ+ people was unsupported by facts. Welch said the same thing about McCarthy's claims about the Army being soft on communists. 'This court finds and rules that the explanations are bereft of reasoning virtually in their entirety,' Young said. 'These edicts are nothing more than conclusory, unsupported by factual development.' Young asked the Department of Justice attorney representing the Trump administration to explain how funding research related to issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion led to 'unlawful discrimination.' Advertisement 'Where's the support for that? Any support? Any rational explanation?' Young said. 'I see no evidence of that. Point me to any particular grant or group of grants being used to support unlawful discrimination on the basis of race. From what I can see, it's the reverse.' Young said the government was guilty of the very thing it claimed the research causes. 'I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it, that this represents racial discrimination and discrimination against America's LGBTQ community,' Young said. 'That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out.' Like Welch, Young is a Harvard grad. Maybe the Trump administration can chalk all this up to Harvard's revenge. Young's comments were not nationally televised, and they have not ignited the backlash against the Trump administration that Welch's remarks did against McCarthy. Still, as Martin Luther King Jr. observed, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. Justice is inevitable. But it takes time. Five years after dressing McCarthy down, Welch played a judge in Otto Preminger's film, 'Anatomy of a Murder.' His portrayal won him a Golden Globe nomination as best supporting actor. But his best performance was on June 9, 1954, when he exposed a bully for what he was, inspiring a nation to do the same. Kevin Cullen is a Globe columnist. He can be reached at
