Jaime Tran, a man with a history of making antisemitic comments, was charged with federal hate crimes in connection with the shootings of two Jewish men as they were leaving services at synagogues in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood of Los Angeles. The shootings took place on the mornings of Feb. 15 and 16. Both victims survived. The shooter was arrested near Palm Springs, about 125 miles from the sites.

Earlier this month, police charged a 26-year-old man with firebombing a synagogue in Bloomfield, NJ. In November, two men were charged in New York with multiple felony counts, including criminal possession of a weapon and making a terrorist threat in what the authorities said was “a developing threat to the Jewish community.” Also in November, an 18-year-old man from Middlesex County, NJ, was arrested and charged with threatening to attack a synagogue and Jews.

“Antisemitism is tragically on the rise across our city and our nation,” said Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles, who added that eradicating hate crimes was “a chief component” of her agenda.
