Former employee of Starr County DA’s office pleads guilty to human smuggling

The former crime victims’ coordinator for the Starr County District Attorney’s Office pleaded guilty to using a county vehicle to smuggle immigrants to Houston.

Bernice Annette Garza pleaded guilty Friday to a count of conspiracy to transport undocumented people within the United States, federal court record show. 

Juan Antonio Charles, Mari Cruz Rosa and Magali Rosa were also arrested in connection with the investigation. They’ve all pleaded guilty to the human smuggling charge as well.

READ ABOUT THE ORIGINAL ARREST HERE

According to the criminal complaint, Garza was arrested on Dec. 2022 during a traffic stop in Victoria County after the sheriff’s office there noted that the vehicle registered with the Starr County District Attorney’s Office was making “numerous unauthorized trips to the Houston area.”

Magali Rosa was identified as the driver of the vehicle that had Garza and Charles among the other passengers.

Magali Rosa insisted Garza was the Starr County district attorney during the traffic stop, the complaint added. She later confessed to making nearly 46 smuggling trips from Rio Grande City to Houston with the other suspects in the government vehicle.

Sentencing for Garza and Charles was set for Sept. 27, 2024. Sentencing for Magali Rosa and Mari Cruz Rosa is set for June 27, 2024.

Ringo Starr talks hanging with McCartney, why he's making a country album and new tour

To look at Ringo Starr is to observe a legend who looks decades younger than his soon-to-be 84 years.

The regular workouts , jogs and healthy diet can be credited to an extent.

But Starr seems to thrive on work.

Since 2021 he has released four EPs, and a fifth, “ Crooked Boy ,” arrived in April. The four tracks written by musician/producer Linda Perry range from the reflective title track (which includes a Starr-specific line, “I speak of love, I speak of peace”) and the jubilant “Gonna Need Someone.”

Starr also resumed touring with his All-Starr Band in 2022 after pandemic-related closures halted momentum and will return May 22 for a few weeks of shows before another spate of dates in September.

Joining him for this excursion are Men At Work frontman Colin Hay, Toto veteran Steve Lukather , keyboard stalwart Edgar Winter, saxophonist Warren Ham (Toto, Kansas), drummer Gregg Bissonette (David Lee Roth, Joe Satriani) and Hamish Stuart (Average White Band, Paul McCartney).

Chatting from his home studio in Los Angeles, the affable drummer leapfrogged topics from his upcoming country album to his feelings about The Beatles’ final recording to hanging out with McCartney.

Question: You’ve worked with Linda Perry on a couple of songs in the past, and now she’s written all of the songs on your new EP. What is it about her vibe that makes you two click?

Answer: Her songwriting is really great; she plays really great and she does all of her demos in a Liverpool accent (laughs). We just became friends and got on right away. She’s very straightforward , very bossy.

You look like you’re having so much fun in the video for “Gonna Need Someone.” How do you stay so upbeat?

I just always believe in keeping the energy up. It’s never a bad thing to be energized, but I’m quite lucky because I can be the other guy, too. Besides, “Crooked Boy” is out now, and Linda is great and I’m working on a real CD. I haven’t done one in so long.

What can you tell us about it?

It’s a country one. I’m working on it with someone very special – T Bone Burnett. He’s doing stuff in Nashville and he comes to LA and it’s all working out. He came to me with nine songs. It won’t be out until October, at least.

How often do you play your drums if you aren’t on the road?

I don’t even look at them. I’ve never liked just drumming by myself. I always want to be in a band with players. If you play whatever, I’ll play with you all night. (As a kid) I went upstairs the traditional way from all of those black and white movies where the drummer goes upstairs to his kit and hits them. Well in my neighborhood, I was this close to being stabbed! Everyone in the neighborhood was going, SHUT UP! (Laughs.) But I’ll play anywhere. My first band was the guy from next door, Eddie Miles, and my best friend Roy taught us bass and that’s what we’ve done: just keep playing with other guys.

How do you feel about “Now and Then” finally being out?

I did love “Now and Then,” and we did hear it in 1995 and we’d done (the other two vault songs) already, and then it came to a halt. And then I got a call from Paul (in 2022) and he asked, "Do you want to drum on it?" It’s great for me to have John’s (Lennon) voice coming at me. Thanks to Peter Jackson with the machine that can pull out anything from anything. Paul went in with a string section; he worked really hard on it and I just sang on some of it.

Is it sad to think that is the last-ever true Beatles recording?

I think I’m past that, really. I miss them, but we’re getting on with our own things now. Paul and I will have dinner together; we’re still buddies. George (Harrison) and John , I certainly miss them. I’m an only child, and suddenly I had three brothers and it was great.

It seems like you and Paul are spending more time together lately.

If he comes to LA we certainly do something, and when I get to England we’ll do something there. It’s just what we do. We went to Paris together (in March) for Stella McCartney’s clothing line . But really we went there for the lunch. (Laughs.) But no, really, we were hanging out. We went by train and were all sitting in the same carriage. We had a good time.

Most of the guys in the All-Starr Band have been with you for years. What is it about this group that complements the show so well?

When I first started this, I was invited to put a band together and go on tour, and I said yes, and then I said: What do you mean, yes? You‘re the drummer in other people’s bands! But I opened my phone book and called everyone I knew and they all said yes. So I had to close my book.

And there are frequently changes in the lineup.

I’ve had like five new bands. Just to change it up years ago, some people were asked to leave and others brought it. Like (Steve) Lukather was brought in (in 2012). This time … we have Colin (Hay) , who is great and has hits, and Hamish (Stuart) I had in one of the other All-Starr Bands and he came back. But Luke (Lukather), I’ll never get rid of Luke. He has a lifelong ticket. He’s my last best friend. You need time to make best friends. He’s an incredibly good musician and an incredible human being.

How much longer do you see yourself going out for these tours?

Until the end of this year, at least. We have the May-June shows and then the fall. That’s where I get my rocks off playing. I play to all of their songs, they play mine. This band is very close and very interested in the other person. No one is hanging out alone having a cigarette.

Ringo Starr on Working With Linda Perry for His Rocking New EP, Enlisting T Bone Burnett for a Country Follow-Up, and How He Feels About ‘Let It Be’

Ringo’s rotogravure is back, as it were, with a new EP, “Crooked Boy,” that will delight fans who’ve wanted a real rock record that was as steady as his backbeat. Linda Perry wrote and produced all four songs for this, the latest in a series of EPs that Ringo Starr began recording during the pandemic and is keeping on with well into the 2020s.

He’s not married to the short-form format, though. As he tells Variety in this Q&A, a country project that he started working on with producer T Bone Burnett has blossomed into a full-blown LP, due to come out this fall, as Ringo’s (snare) hits just keep on coming.

Popular on Variety

I love it too. Linda did a great job. Since 2020, I’ve only done EPs. You know, it started real weird with masks and “make sure you have the shots,” and it eased off as the years went by — though I got it twice, so what can you say? I was going round, talking to people that I’d never worked with. I’d heard of her, of course, and somebody said, “Do you know Linda?” I said, well, let’s give her a call. I asked her, “Would you give me a track for the EP?” And so she gave me a track [for “Change the World” in 2021], and for the next one [“EP3” in 2022], she gave me another track. And then she said to me, “Why don’t you let me do an (entire) EP?” I said, OK, and I just left it in her hands. And every time she called me to check on something, I said, “You are the producer. You do it!” Anyway, she’s a beautiful human being. She wrote me four great songs, so I’m only playing drums and singing them, and the rest of the instrumentals, that’s the band she found. And a big find for me was Nick (Valensi of the Strokes), on guitar — he was so great. Anyway, what’s your next question?

You asked Linda specifically to write you more of a rocker, at some point in the process. Is that right?

She sent me a couple of them, and then I called her and I said, “Linda, write me a rock song!” And she says, “What’s that?” I said, “I’ll leave it there. Just write me a rock song.” And she did, of course, and it’s called “Gonna Need Need Someone.” And it did rock, and she put the band together, and then we did a video with the song playing and we are popping in and out. Nick was gracious enough to come to the garage — we do it all in the garage here — and be filmed doing his great guitar work, which just had a great vibe. I love Nick.

In another interview, you said that on the All Starr tour, you won’t be doing the new material because people go to the bathroom.

I promise you, any band out there, say “I’d like to do something from my new LP, EP, CD,” and you can feel the vibe of people going to the toilet, or going to find some T-shirts. This, with the All Starrs, is so great because (playing the hits) is why we’re there: We’re the best 1-800 band in the land right now, with Colin (Hay) and (Steve) Lukather and everybody. We’re on the road this next month, through a bit of June, and then we’re on the road again in September and October.

I do feel like if you snuck “Gonna Need Someone” in there and didn’t tell people in advance that it was a new song, it’s so good that they would stay in their seats. They wouldn’t go to the bathroom.

You think so? Well, let me think about that. And then if I can [and it doesn’t go well], if the phone rings and it’s my number, don’t answer!

To ask a little bit more about Linda Perry, you said somewhere that you sent one or two of the songs back to her, to kind of make them more upbeat, or more sort of aligned with your philosophy, since you always try to be very positive.

Yeah. Even on “February Sky,” it was all about the dark sky everywhere in February, so that’s an emotion in there. But I told her, “There’s gotta be a crack — a break in the sky — and the sun is coming out.” Because all my songs have that. They can be “I’m down, I’m this, I’m that… But things are getting better, things are going up.” They always have a positive upside. “Rewind Forward” [the title song of his previous EP, from 2023] was like that. “Rewind forward” meant, sometimes you’re in a mood, and if you just backtrack a little and then find that (previous) space, and then carry on from that moment, it helps sometimes.

And the new song “Adeline” is acknowledging that life is hard, but at the same time, having a very positive attitude about everybody being redeemable — there is a message there.

Yeah… If you want any deep meaning to any of these songs, call Linda!

I mean, I came in with vinyl. I love vinyl, and it did take me a while to get used to CDs, because they’re a bit sharper, if only for me or only for us of my age, where we feel the warmth of vinyl. I never knew vinyl had (its own) day, so we promoted it at Amoeba, the record store in L.A., and we also promoted record stores, which was great, because I used to spend a lot of time in record stores. We’re using, like, local presses [to press the EP], because usually you’ve got to send it to the eastern block somewhere to get your vinyl, because America doesn’t have a lot of vinyl makers anymore because they all went CD and sold the business. There’s a couple of people who are still with vinyl in Nashville that we know of. So anyway, I just thought it’s a good idea (to do the limited edition vinyl and streaming first), with the CD of the EP out a couple of weeks after that. [The CD and black vinyl editions come out May 31.]

Another reason that people might want the vinyl in this witness is that you get more cover space, and that’s such a great cover photo by Harry Benson from back in the day. Do you have any memories of when that was shot or did it just seem like a cool photo?

It was shot in 1964 in Florida, because we came to America for the first time and we did the Sullivan show, and then we played Washington and then we got to Florida — Miami, actually — and we did Ed Sullivan again from Florida. It was all new to us. We didn’t know him, he didn’t know us, but it worked. And yeah, as you can see, we’re all on the beach and he took these shots. I mean, I’m not even posing. He just took that moment, which is great.

You know, there’s a story with that necklace, when, in New York, they were jumping at us still, and they ripped that necklace off. And I went on the radio with Cousin Bruce, one of the big radio guys in those days, and I was saying, “Look, I love that necklace. My auntie got it for me. It’s meaningful. If you bring it back, I’ll give you a hug.” And the radio station got a call answering that, that this girl had it and she’d bring it in. And I gave her a hug, and she gave me the little necklace back with the St. Christopher’s medal on it.

That was a good trade for her.

I think so. It was just like a really nice moment.

I interviewed T Bone Burnett, and he’s very enthusiastic about what you guys are up to with your next record. Can you tell me where you’re at with that?

So I’m doing this pop EP, and T Bone sent me one of the most beautiful country songs I’ve ever heard. We were met up a couple of times and were talking… I love old country, and I said, “Would you like to do an EP on me?” And he said, yeah, and then he came and he said, “I’ve got some songs to play.” He came and he had nine songs. So I said, “Well, let’s just make a (full) CD.”

We’ve done 90% of my work. He may want to put other stuff on it. And tomorrow I’m gonna finish off the odd lines I have to re-sing or think about, and then it should be done. As far as I’m concerned, the drums are good and the songs are good and, you know, I sing to the best of my ability, but sometimes I change the melody. That’s the way I am, and I had to back off a bit and do his melody, because he wrote it. So that’s what happened. It just came about and we’re just going with the flow. And now we’ve got a country record. The last country LP was… was it 1970? [“Beacoups of Blues.”] And now we’ve got one coming out probably in October. Because it’ll be coming out on vinyl and on cd, you’ve gotta get it in, and now it’s like five or six months before you put anything out. I mean, I’d like to finish it here and put it on the radio right now, but you can’t do that anymore.

(Burnett talked with Variety about his work with Ringo in a separate interview: “He cut ‘Come Back (When You Go Away),’ the second song on ‘The Other Side,’ my record. It’s beautiful. He’s such a beautiful singer. Ringo was in a band with two of the best singers in rock ‘n’ roll history, so people never took him as seriously as a singer as they should. If you listen to all the country stuff he did, ‘What Goes On’ and ‘Act Naturally’ and ‘Honey Don’t,’ he did so much great country music, even in the Beatles . And, you know, he’s called Ringo Starr because that’s a cowboy name, and he wanted to be a cowboy when he was a kid. As we all did back in those days; we always all wanted to be Gene Autry. He asked me to write a song for him, and I wrote that song ‘Come Back’ in a Gene Autry style for him, and it kind of kicked off this whole songwriting binge I’ve been on…. I mean, Ringo in his third act is deserving of a serious album… I want to make a classic Ringo Starr country record. I think we can.” Read the entire Burnett interview here .)

Finally, “Let It Be” is about to be screened and re-premiere on Disney+. Have you had a chance to see this version that Peter Jackson sort of cleaned up? Because Jackson has always said that the original “Let It Be” film wasn’t as dreary as people thought, and that part of it was that the colors were so muted, but now that he has brightened it up, it doesn’t seem as depressing as people thought it was 50 years ago.

Are you okay with it coming out, though, being re-released and seen again?

Oh, yeah. It’s coming out. We’ve all said yes. And also, the first (documentary) they did, the Maysles brothers, in New York [“The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit,” which was released in its original form in 1964 and last had an official release in 2004].
