Documents reveal a plan by the state DOJ to search homes and offices of Shafter officials but calls were made to halt the operation. A deposition shows a possible influence from Kern County District Attorney Ed Jagels, with DOJ Agent Fred Adler acknowledging the last minute cancellation due to concerns about Jagels's feelings. Jagels says he knew some involved through work, while Adler confirms parts of the inquiry were affected.
