Memo Torres Fired From L.A. Taco Amid Senator Claims

A star LA immigration reporter is out at L.A. TACO — and a California senator is denying she wrote his stories. L.A. TACO has fired reporter Memo Torres, known for his daily videos of immigration raids across Los Angeles, following repeated violations of its policies and basic journalistic standards. This comes amid allegations that Torres had a personal relationship with California state Sen. Sasha Renée Pérez while covering her legislative agenda and that she helped write portions of stories published under his byline. L.A.-TACO stated that the firing followed months of internal warnings and offers to publicly support Torres' next chapter and give him a generous severance. Péez, a Democratic state senator and the youngest lawmaker in the California Senate, acknowledged the personal relationship but did not write articles or control L.a. TacO's editorial decisions.
