Chavez unmasked and more: Letters to the Editor — March 22, 2026

I hope the women Cesar Chavez abused will be able to have some comfort in knowing that the truth about his abuse and pedophilia is public, and his reputation is permanently damaged (“ ‘Abuse’ shows Cesar’s malice,” March 18).

Hopefully, the improvement of working conditions for American farmworkers, the cause for which Chavez fought, will continue to improve despite the news of his criminal behavior.

The mess left by the Oscars’ audience is on the Academy, not the participants (“Oscars’ trash can,” March 17).

I am sure there were paid persons there to clean up the litter. I wish people would consider that they have ushers and others who are employees of this venue. I don’t think the audience was being rude at all.

I believe Tucker Carlson has gone off the deep end and had a mental breakdown (“Carlson: I’m being framed by the CIA,” March 16).

One doesn’t need to be a seasoned therapist to notice it started in his last year at Fox News, where he had troubles with staff and just about every evening would rail against Ukraine. Carlson interviewed antisemites on his podcasts with kid gloves and, now out of the limelight, has accused Israel of genocide and unleased a drooling, incoherent fuselage of words attacking President Trump. I hope he is undergoing treatment for his mental state.

The US Coast Guard has a permanent base in Bahrain that’s currently home to six cutters (“Mayday for airports,” March 18).

The crews on these armed cutters are performing their duties in harm’s way by the Straits of Hormuz without pay. It is past time for Congress to stop the shutdown and restore funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

There will never be enough justice for the two people killed in a crash caused by Diana Kutateladze, who was driving while intoxicated (“ ‘Boozed’ before LI slays,” March 18).

She might serve as few as eight years in prison but will ultimately be set free — free to drink and drive again — largely because our state lawmakers, judges, defense lawyers and even prosecutors seem to care more about the law-breakers than past and future victims and their families. Sadly, this is part of the reason our roads remain so dangerous.

President Trump choosing Markwayne Mullin to lead the Department of Homeland Security certainly wasn’t in the best interests of Sen. Rand Paul (“Mullin hearing fightin’ words,” March 19).

With that in mind, Mullin shouldn’t be confirmed by any means. His challenging Teamster President Sean O’Brien to a fight on the Senate floor in 2023 demonstrates his lack of control and why he should not be confirmed to run federal agencies with police powers.

ICE having no concern for humanity is typical, as we can see with what we have endured under Kristi Noem. In all likelihood, ICE under Mullins will be exactly the same.
