Cox Forecasts Slowing Vehicle Sales, Higher Prices In 2025's 2nd Half

BROWN/AFP via Getty Images) New vehicle deliveries will slow in the year's second half amid higher prices spurred by the tariff-related costs, Cox Automotive said Wednesday in a webinar. The current April-June period 'will turn out to be a relatively strong quarter," Jonathan Smoke, Cox's chief economist, said during the presentation. 'We now face slowing demand.' Consumers went to dealers to buy cars and trucks made before tariffs were implemented by the Trump administration. That 'surge is now in the rearview mirror,' said Charlie Chesbrough, Cox's senior economist. Cox said the seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) for vehicle sales will probably be 15.3 million for June, down from 15.6 million in May and a rate of 17.5 million in March and April. Cox said in a statement that second-quarter deliveries will be 1.7% higher compared with a year earlier. The Trump administration has levied tariffs on imported vehicles as well as steel and aluminum. Tariffs are paid by companies that import goods. Those costs typically are passed on to customers. Tariffs are not payments from one country to another. 'We don't think consumers can absorb it all,' Smoke said of tariff costs. Cox forecasts U.S. 2025 new vehicle sales of 15.6 million to 16.3 million. The company originally projected 2025 sales would total 16.3 million. In addition to tariffs, consumers are dealing with continuing high interest rates for vehicle purchases. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has held interest rates steady despite criticism from President Donald Trump. 'The new vehicle market is likely to see the return of inflation,' Chesbrough said. Also in the presentation, Cox said the picture for electric vehicles is mixed. A $7,500 tax credit for EVs may end. But EV offerings are expanding. Some said the rest of 2025 will see 'a rollercoaster ride for EVs.'

Montebello man shouts "I am American" while immigration agents detain him
A face-to-face encounter with federal immigration agents has left Montebello man Brian Gavidia shaken and unable to sleep at night. Gavida said he was working at a tow yard on W. Olympic Boulevard in Montebello when he heard immigration agents were outside. An agent approached him when he stepped outside. Gavida said he told the officers he was an American citizen three times before they tried to detain him. "East Los Angeles born and raised, ma'am," he recalled telling an agent. "I am American. I stated I was American. He still attacked me. We are not safe, guys, not safe in America today." Gavida said the agent asked him what city and hospital he was born in before throwing him into a gate and twisting his arm. "I said, 'I don't know.' And because I didn't know, he threw me to the gate and he twisted my arm," Gavida said. "I said, 'Brother, I am American. You are twisting my arm.'" During the encounter, he said his friend, who is also an American citizen, was rough-handled by federal agents. "I see my friend state that he is an American," Gavidia said. "He gets slammed to the floor. He is bleeding from his forehead. I want to jump in and defend my friend. ICE agent looks at me with his AR-15. I can't win that battle." Gavidia said the agent took both his phone and Real ID and only let him go because his friend started filming. "I couldn't sleep last night," he said. "Let me tell you the truth: He took my ID, he took my phone. He never gave me back my ID. Is this guy going to come and pick me up at 2 or 3 a.m. I don't know." Gavidia said he won't be silenced about what he calls blatant mistreatment. "It doesn't make me happy to have my face out here like this," he said. "I don't want to be in this position. I don't want to have my face out here like this, but I have to. My people are getting attacked, and yeah I'm American, but I'm Latino as well." U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not respond to CBS News Los Angeles' request for comment.

Southern California father who is U.S. citizen, arrested during immigration raid, family says
Family members are demanding answers after they say a man who is a U.S. citizen was wrongfully arrested by federal agents during an immigration raid in Montebello. On June 12, surveillance video captured the moment several masked and armed agents surrounded a tow truck business in Montebello. The agents quickly entered the property and began detaining mechanics and other workers at the site. One of the detained men who was later released spoke to KTLA but asked not to be identified out of safety concerns. He said he was violently grabbed and taken by the agents despite being a U.S. citizen. 'He slammed me to the gate,' the man told KTLA's Ellina Abovian. 'He put my hands behind my back. I'm an American citizen. You do not do that to Americans.' Nataly Degante, whose cousin, Javier Ramirez, 32, was arrested in the raid, said that while agents began handcuffing everyone, they reportedly never provided identification or information about why they were there. 'We see in the video that they don't come with a warrant,' she said. 'They don't have any documentation in their hands.' Degante said her cousin is a U.S. citizen and a single father of two young children. She described him as a hard worker with no criminal record. Video of the raid shows some workers being moved to the ground as agents quickly handcuffed them. Ramirez is also seen on the video yelling to the agents that he's a citizen. 'He's telling them he is a U.S. citizen and he's letting them know, 'My passport is in my pocket,'' Degante said. However, Ramirez was handcuffed and taken into custody. His brother tried following Ramirez's location through his cell phone's tracking app, but the signal was eventually lost. His family has not heard from him since. 'We haven't heard anything about him,' said Abimael Dominguez, his brother. 'He's diabetic. I don't even know if he has insulin yet or has he eaten? We don't know anything. ' It remains unclear whether the agents were with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Some of the agents appeared to be wearing uniforms with a Border Patrol insignia. 'I voted, but not for this,' said the man who was detained and later released. 'I'm an American citizen. I want the best for all of us. I feel like there is due process that we must follow.' 'They're not only taking criminals, they are taking our community,' Degante said. As of Friday afternoon, Homeland Security has not responded to KTLA's request for comment about why Ramirez was detained or whether he was wanted for any crimes. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
