Last month, federal agents searched the homes of Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do, his daughter Rhiannon Do and other defendants named in a the county lawsuit.
The backstory: The searches came nine months after LAist started reporting a series of investigative articles raising questions about what happened to millions in taxpayer funds directed by Supervisor Do to a little-known nonprofit. Here’s what you need to know to stay on top of this unfolding saga in Orange County.
Go deeper: Keep reading for a full summary of the key details explaining what’s happening and who's who in Orange County’s public funds controversy.
Last month, FBI and IRS agents searched the family home of Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do in North Tustin.
They also searched a nearby home purchased by his 23-year-old daughter, Rhiannon Do, and the homes of others with close ties to the supervisor and his daughter.
The searches came nine months after LAist first reported county officials were asking serious questions about what happened to millions in taxpayer funds directed by Supervisor Do to a little-known nonprofit.
LAist uncovered more than $13 million in public funds directed by Supervisor Do to Viet America Society (VAS), most awarded outside of public view and without Do disclosing that his daughter worked as a leader there. Most of that money came from federal COVID relief funds earmarked to help people during the pandemic.
The FBI and IRS aren’t saying why they searched the properties, citing a court seal on the search warrants. A pair of lawsuits, filed by county officials a few days before the searches, allege Rhiannon Do, and other defendants, “brazenly plundered” public funds to purchase multiple homes in Orange County.
LAist uncovered this story by pouring through thousands of public records. Those records detail a complicated series of large transactions, many of them unexplained, by officials at VAS.
Here’s what you need to know to stay on top of the story:
O.C. Supervisor Andrew Do has allocated millions of county dollars to his daughter’s group, Warner Wellness Center, without publicly disclosing his family connection.

Who is Andrew Do?
First, some background: Supervisor Andrew Do is one of the highest-ranking elected officials in Orange County. He is elected to the Orange County Board of Supervisors from District 1, which encompasses cities like Garden Grove and Westminster. The area includes O.C.’s Little Saigon, home of one of the largest Vietnamese populations outside of Vietnam. He represents about 600,000 people.
Supervisor Do took home about $237,000 in pay and benefits for his role as county supervisor in 2023, according to public data on Transparent California’s website.
He has served on the board since 2015 and is termed out at the end of the year.
Supervisor Do previously served as a prosecutor at the Orange County District Attorney’s office and as a council member in Garden Grove. He was also the first Vietnamese American to serve as board chair of O.C.’s public health insurance agency CalOptima while he was supervisor before he resigned from CalOptima’s board in 2023. His resignation followed a state investigation into hiring and pay practices during his time as chair.
Supervisor Do is married to O.C. Superior Court Assistant Presiding Judge Cheri Pham. They have two daughters.
After the first LAist stories published late last year, Supervisor Do wrote an op-ed published in the Orange County Register defending himself and disparaging LAist’s reporting. Then, on county letterhead, he called on LAist leaders to fire Nick Gerda, our reporter who broke the story. Nick never stopped reporting.
To date, Supervisor Do has not responded to LAist’s repeated requests for comment since last November. He has never requested a correction or a retraction.

What is a county supervisor?
The five county supervisors are some of the most powerful people in Orange County, deciding on how to spend about $9 billion each year on key government services like public health, mental health, law enforcement and child protective services.
Supervisors are elected to four-year terms and they can’t serve more than two full terms, which is why Supervisor Do was ineligible to run again this year.

Who is Rhiannon Do?
Rhiannon Do is Supervisor Do’s 23-year-old daughter. She is a third-year law student at University of California, Irvine. She graduated from high school four years ago and then earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from UC Davis in December 2021. While at UC Davis, she interned at the Steinberg Institute, which advocates for statewide mental health policy changes.
LAist has found at least 10 public records, including contracts she signed and a tax filing, listing Rhiannon Do in top leadership roles at VAS. Last year, she also submitted a resume for an internship at the O.C. District Attorney’s office that says she was president and cofounder of Warner Wellness Center, which is a second name used by VAS. In a brief email exchange in April, Rhiannon Do told LAist that she never served as a director or an officer with the group and had no role in VAS’ finances.
She did not respond to questions about why the records, some with her signature, show otherwise.
She described her role as limited to mental health services and a different meals program than the one under scrutiny. At the time, a VAS attorney attributed the listings of Rhiannon Do in leadership positions to “sloppiness” and “negligence."
State law does not currently require elected officials to disclose family relationships when awarding taxpayer money to their adult children. It does require disclosure for spouses and minor children. Two state laws inspired by LAist reporting have now been signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom to tighten ethics standards, and a third is on his desk. They go into effect Jan. 1.
What is Viet America Society?
Viet America Society is a nonprofit incorporated by Peter Pham in 2020, after the start of the pandemic. In its latest available tax filing, for 2022, the organization’s mission is described as “Promoting Vietnamese cultures to the youths. Helping feed the elderly and poor. Provide mental health services to all.” The nonprofit has also used the name Warner Wellness Center to do business.
VAS and Warner Wellness Center both had offices in Huntington Beach in the same building as Supervisor Do’s private law office. Peter Pham was seen emptying furniture out of the Warner Wellness Center suite on Saturday, according to eyewitnesses and photos provided to LAist. VAS’ office suite is now rented to another business.

One of the lawsuits filed last month by Orange County officials alleges more than $13 million in public funds Supervisor Do directed to the nonprofit was “plundered” by four named defendants, Peter Pham, Rhiannon Do, Dinh Mai, VAS' chief financial officer, and Thu Thao Thi Vu — as well as VAS, and Vu’s company, Aloha Financial Investment, Inc., among other entities. The lawsuit alleges defendants used the money for private gain, including home purchases. Late last month federal authorities froze the bank accounts of VAS.
VAS’ lawyer has disputed the allegations.
What are federal COVID relief dollars?
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was a $1.9 trillion stimulus package intended to boost the American economy as it was devastated by COVID-19 shutdowns. Funds were distributed to state, territorial, local, and tribal governments to support recovery effects.
Local governments like the Orange County Board of Supervisors were able to use that money to offset loss of revenue into public agencies, to address health and economic needs of residents and to improve water, sewer or broadband infrastructure.
What happened to the money Do directed to VAS?
Federal authorities appear to be trying to figure that out.
Just days after the county filed the fraud lawsuits, FBI and IRS agents executed search warrants for multiple properties in Orange County. The properties searched include Rhiannon Do’s Tustin home; a North Tustin family home that real estate records show is owned by Cheri Pham and Supervisor Do; a Garden Grove home that public records show is owned by Peter Pham; and a Fountain Valley home that government filings show is the business address for VAS.

Those search warrants remain under seal, according to the latest information from the local U.S. Attorney’s Office.
What does a Vietnam war memorial have to do with COVID relief funding?
Good question.Supervisor Andrew Do directed $1 million in federal COVID relief funds to VAS in October 2023 to design, build and maintain a memorial in an Orange County park. That money was at his discretion to award. The agreement, which was attached to the county’s lawsuit against VAS, said the federal COVID relief funds being used for the project could "be used, among other things, for non-profit organizations that support veterans, provide infrastructure projects, workforce and economic development, education, and arts-related programs."
LAist has found that work on that site remains incomplete.
O.C. officials in early August demanded VAS refund any money not spent on purposes required by existing county contracts — and then sued on Aug. 15.

VAS then returned $150,000 of the $1 million, which Mark Rosen, VAS’ attorney, said accounted for any unspent remaining funds. That left $850,000 the county paid to VAS for the project, that has not been returned.
Supervisor Do is facing calls from two of his colleagues on the Board of Supervisors — Katrina Foley and Vicente Sarmiento— to resign from his role. Foley and Sarmiento have also called on the state attorney general to intervene and authorize a court case seeking to remove Supervisor Do from power.
Sarmiento also is calling on the board to censure Supervisor Do, a vote is expected at the Sept. 24 board meeting in Santa Ana.
Earlier this month, Supervisor Do’s colleagues on the Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to remove him from all his committee assignments and his board seat at the Orange County Transportation Authority.
City leaders in Huntington Beach, the largest city in Supervisor Do’s district, also called for his resignation, on a 6-1 vote.
What does Do's continued absence mean for County business?
Supervisor Do’s office told the interim County CEO last month he would miss the next few meetings.
Agenda items could be delayed to later meeting dates if not enough board members are present for a vote. For most items, at least three supervisors are required to approve an agenda item in the affirmative. Given the makeup of the board, having only four members present means decisions can result in a stalemate, as happened a few weeks ago when Supervisor Do was absent for an affordable housing-related vote.
If Supervisor Do were to resign at this point in his term, the vacancy would be decided in the seat's Nov. 5 election to replacement him — that race is between state Sen. Janet Nguyen and Cypress City Councilmember Frances Marquez. In the meantime, the supervisors’ Chair Don Wagner would have to appoint staff to meet the needs of 1st District residents, according to the county charter.
LAist's watchdog role in the investigation
In November 2023, LAist began investigating how millions in public taxpayer dollars were spent. In total, LAist has uncovered public records showing more than $13 million in public money that was approved to a little-known nonprofit that records state was led on and off by Rhiannon Do, the now 23-year-old daughter of Supervisor Do. Most of that money was directed to the group by Supervisor Do outside of the public’s view and never appeared on public meeting agendas. He did not publicly disclose his family ties.
Much of the known funding came from federal coronavirus relief money.
Since LAist started reporting, we’ve also uncovered the group was two years overdue in completing a required audit into whether the meal funds were spent appropriately.
And LAist found the amount of taxpayer money directed to the nonprofit was much larger than initially known. It totals at least $13.5 million in county funding — tallied from government records obtained and published by LAist.
After our reporting, O.C. officials wrote demand letters to the nonprofit saying millions in funding were unaccounted for. They warned the nonprofit that it could be forced to repay the funds.
And, LAist found the nonprofit missed a deadline set by county officials to provide proof about how funding for meals were spent.
On Aug. 2, LAist reported O.C. officials were demanding the refund of more than $3 million in public funds awarded by Do to VAS and another nonprofit, Hand to Hand.
Six days later, LAist reported Orange County officials had expanded demands for refunds of millions in tax dollars from the nonprofits and threatened legal action.
Then, on Aug. 19, LAist reported O.C. officials had announced a second lawsuit against Hand to Hand and its CEO to recover millions of taxpayer dollars that were directed by Supervisor Do.
LAist broke the news on Aug. 22 that federal agents were searching Rhiannon Do's home in Tustin. Later that day, Supervisor Do's home, and other properties, were also searched.

How to watchdog local government
One of the best things you can do to hold officials accountable is pay attention.
Your city council, board of supervisors, school board and more all hold public meetings that anybody can attend. These are times you can talk to your elected officials directly and hear about the policies they’re voting on that affect your community.

Bioswales — narrow, sunken strip of land along some L.A. streets — are meant to capture and filter storm water runoff, helping reduce flooding and keep pollutants from flowing into the ocean. But citywide, there are about 23 bioswales that appear abandoned.
Why it matters: The sidewalk features were installed during former Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Complete Streets program around 2018. The initiative aimed to improve streets, add greenery and better manage stormwater along key corridors across the city. But residents, like some in Pico Union, say that bioswales have become dumping grounds. In some cases, the concrete structures were installed but left without vegetation for years, presenting safety concerns.
What's being done about them? Steve Kang, president of the city’s Board of Public Works, said his office is now working to create a program similar to “Adopt-a-Median” that would allow community members and organizations to formally maintain bioswales. Under the proposal, participants would enter into agreements with the city, with support from the Office of Community Beautification, which can provide tools like gloves, trash bags and gardening supplies.
Across from an auto shop on Venice Boulevard and Albany Street sits a narrow, sunken strip of land lined with overgrown shrubs and cacti. It’s mostly filled with trash — from plastic bags and cups to containers, straws, chip bags and aluminum foil.
It’s original purpose was to capture and filter storm water runoff, helping reduce flooding and keep pollutants from flowing into the ocean. But neighbors in Pico Union say that this bioswale and many others across the city have become dumping grounds.
The sidewalk features were installed during former Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Complete Streets program around 2018. The initiative aimed to improve streets, add greenery and better manage stormwater along key corridors across the city.
Local resident Aurora Corona — a longtime Pico Union community organizer involved in local environmental and cleanup efforts — said in some instances it looks like the bioswales were not fully installed.
Citywide, there are about 23 bioswales that appear abandoned, Corona said. Many are located in central and South Los Angeles and spread across at least eight council districts.
In some cases, the concrete structures were installed but left without vegetation for years, Corona said, raising concerns that they were never able to function as intended.
Heberto Portobanco, owner of the Nicaraguan restaurant Portobanco in Pico Union, first noticed the bioswale outside his business about eight years ago, but it became hard to ignore about two years ago when it became a hazard.
“We had an accident, one of the people who does maintenance for us came and fell into it,” he said.
The bioswale was deeper and not fully finished, Portobanco said. After multiple people reported what happened to the city, Portobanco said the city added more soil to level it out.
“The idea might be nice, but if it’s not maintained, it’s a problem,” Portobanco said.
The biggest concern for Portobanco remains safety, especially as he said that people continue to use the space improperly or fail to notice it altogether.
He would be willing to help maintain the bioswale outside his restaurant if the city created a formal program to do so.
For him, keeping the space clean is also about pride and perception.
“I don’t want people to think that Latinos are careless and that we don’t take care of our surroundings,” he said, adding that a well-kept space could encourage others to take better care of the neighborhood.
Corona, the local organizer, has experienced similar issues to the ones Portobanco described.
She lives near two bioswales, including the one near Portobanco’s restaurant.
She first encountered them while organizing a cleanup around 2024 and said she didn’t initially know what they were. What she did know was that they were not being taken care of.
“I was tired of seeing this being a dumping ground, they would just throw trash here all the time,” she said.
That frustration pushed her to take action. She thought of what she had already done with other public spaces in her community.
In 2024, she helped transform a neglected dirt space on Venice Boulevard and Union Avenue into a small community green area — also known as a median — using local grant funding. With the help of volunteers, they removed contaminated soil and planted drought-tolerant greenery.
“It’s only been here since November and it’s grown a lot,” she said about the green belt, pointing to plants that started as small pots and are now taking root.
Corona continues to organize cleanups and, through the city’s “Adopt-a-Median” program, works with neighbors to maintain the space. She said she’d like to see a similar model applied to bioswales — essentially an “Adopt-a-Bioswale” program that would allow residents to take ownership of the ones near them.
“I think people would step up if they were given the chance and the support,” she said.

The program for the bioswales, as she envisions it, would involve planting California natives such as dudleya edulis, dudleya pulverulenta and other species that can withstand the weather. It would also call for improving their visibility by painting the bioswale borders in colors that reflect the neighborhood.
That idea has already been discussed at the city level.
Steve Kang, president of the city’s Board of Public Works, agrees that many bioswales now sit “barren” and are treated as “more of a trash repository.”
He said his office is now working to create a program similar to “Adopt-a-Median” that would allow community members and organizations to formally maintain bioswales.
“My intention is to make the process as seamless and easy as possible,” Kang said, adding that the goal is to launch the program sometime in 2026.
Under the proposal, participants would enter into agreements with the city, with support from the Office of Community Beautification, which can provide tools like gloves, trash bags and gardening supplies.
For residents like Corona and business owners like Portobanco, that kind of partnership could turn what are now neglected strips of land into something more useful.
“If we take care of these spaces, they can become something people are proud of,” Corona said. “It changes how people see the neighborhood and how they treat it.”

Big Bear’s famous bald eagles — Jackie and Shadow — appear to be welcoming a new chick into the world.
Why now: The first pip, or crack, was spotted in one of the feathered duo’s two eggs around 10 a.m. Friday, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley, the nonprofit that runs a popular YouTube livestream of the nest overlooking Big Bear Lake.
Why it matters: More than 26,000 people were watching the livestream shortly shortly after the organization confirmed a pip had been spotted, which signals that an eaglet is starting to poke its way out of the egg shell.
The backstory: As of Friday, the first egg is around 38 days old and the second egg is about 35 days old. Jackie and Shadow's usual incubation timeline is around 38 to 40 days, according to the nonprofit.

More than 26,000 people were watching the livestream shortly after the organization confirmed a pip had been spotted, which signals that an eaglet is starting to poke its way out of the egg shell.
“Yesterday afternoon, evening and throughout the night we heard little chirps coming from the chick,” Friends of Big Bear Valley wrote on Facebook to more than a million followers. “This indicates that the chick was able to break the internal membrane and took its first breath of air.”
As of Friday, the first egg is around 38 days old and the second egg is about 35 days old. Jackie and Shadow's usual incubation timeline is around 38 to 40 days, according to the nonprofit.
There’s still time for the second egg to show signs of hatching, and a pip could be confirmed in the coming days.
What we know
Jenny Voisard, the organization’s media manager, told LAist earlier this week that hatching is an arduous process for chicks that takes some time.
For example, last season, the first chick hatched more than a day after the initial pip was confirmed, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley records. The second chick hatched about a day after pipping as well, and the third chick worked its way out into the world about two days after the first crack was confirmed.
In March 2025, Jackie and Shadow welcomed two eaglet chicks with one remaining egg in their nest.

Viewers watched as the surviving eaglets, Sunny and Gizmo, grew from a few ounces to several pounds in a matter of months before fledging, or taking their first flight away from the nest, last June.
But any chicks arriving this season will have to learn how to feed before they can fly.
The initial meals may be a bit awkward while the chicks learn to sit up straight. Jackie and Shadow could start feeding the chicks the same day they hatch, typically tearing off pieces of fish or raw meat and holding it up to their beaks.
Bald eagles don’t regurgitate food for their young, unlike other birds. But the feathered parents do pass along a "substantial amount of saliva” full of electrolytes and antibodies to their chicks during feedings, according to the nonprofit.
Voisard said new life coming to the nest is a reminder “why it’s so important to conserve their lands.”

The Dodgers debuted a brand new blue road jersey for its game against the Washington Nationals. The new blues will now be part of the team's regular season jersey rotation for away games.
Why it matters: The team says it's a first for the Dodgers, who have traditionally only worn their gray jerseys for away games. The Dodgers now have three road options — two gray jerseys, one that says "Los Angeles" across the front and another that says "Dodgers," along with the new blues.

The backstory: You've probably seen the Dodgers wearing similar blue jerseys during spring training, but up until now they've not been an everyday option for regular season games. It won't be the first time the team wears a blue jersey during the regular season, though. In 2021, the Dodgers debuted blue "City Connect" jerseys, seen below, for that season.

Under a new law that went into effect this year, childcare providers are barred from asking about a child's or family member’s immigration status.
What’s new: California Attorney General Rob Bonta provided guidance this week to childcare providers on new legal requirements to protect children and their families from immigration enforcement activities.
The backstory: Lawmakers passed AB 495 last year aimed at helping and protecting families in light of immigration enforcement, including allowing a broader definition of relatives to step in as a caregiver if a parent is detained.
The details: Under the new requirements, childcare centers have to regularly update a child’s emergency contact to make sure someone can be reached in the case of a parent being detained.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta provided guidance this week to childcare providers on new legal requirements to protect children and their families from immigration enforcement activities.
Under a new law that went into effect this year, childcare providers are not allowed to collect information about a child's or family member’s immigration status, unless necessary under state or federal law. Bonta’s office says there currently is no such requirement, though that could change with federal programs like Head Start.
“Childcare and preschool facilities should be safe and secure spaces so children can grow, learn and simply be children,” Bonta said in a statement.
His office says daycare centers also should not keep information about a formerly enrolled child longer than is required by state law.
The new law also requires facilities to inform the attorney general’s office and the state’s licensing agency if they get any requests for information from law enforcement related to immigration enforcement.
Facilities also must ask families to regularly update a child’s emergency contact information to make sure someone can be reached in case a parent is detained by federal immigration officials.
