Jimmy and his wife spent 15 months living in temporary accommodation in nearby Alva which he says took a toll on their physical and mental health.

The total number of visits to 400 Alva sites in 2024 was 157.2 million but that was still a decline of 8.8% on the 169.7 million visits in 2019.

Alva director Bernard Donoghue said last year was "a year of steady but not significant growth", citing the "the long economic recovery" from Covid lockdown and "the effects of the cost-of-living crisis", as well as "modest inbound visitor numbers to the UK".

In court documents, prosecutors alleged that Alva or Alvarado procured fentanyl to be distributed to customers.

Aranda and Alva would take the packaged fentanyl and mail it to customers from post offices in and around Riverside County, prosecutors alleged.
