Besides working for the Swalwell campaign, Meyer also owns a limousine service called CYD Global Car Service based in North Hollywood. According to the company’s website, it offers professional chauffeurs, corporate shuttles and limousine services, with an emphasis on luxury travel.
He is also an administrator of a Facebook group called "CaliHaitians - Haitians in Az, Ca, Nv, Hi, Or, Wa," which bills itself as a "progressive community" of Haitians living in the United States, which has over 3,000 members. The "about" page goes on to say that the group is "selective" about who can become a member, saying they want to forge a "closer bond" with "head members of groups/organizations that are able to provide professional services to strengthen the community."
"Lastly, in forging a strategic partnership and casting a wider net for the betterment of Haiti and its children outside of the country, we invite head members of other organizations or groups boasting 500+ members to join us," the Facebook group continued.
In addition to Meyer, the group includes multiple other administrators, including a woman named Guerline Jozef, the co-founder and executive director of Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA), which bills itself as "working to end racist border policies like the Remain in Mexico Policy, Title 42, and the border-to-prison-and-deportation pipeline" and helps illegal migrants on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Swalwell campaign to inquire about the various classifications and asked what Meyer’s role is on his staff since the payments switched from "Security Services" to "Salary." Swalwell did not comment on the reason for the different classifications, simply saying that "Darly protects me and my family."
Swalwell also took to X, writing that Fox News Digital "emailed and asked why I’ve spent $350,000 on security" and saying, "Maybe I should send [the reporter] the bill?" Fox News Digital reviewed online records from California's Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, but it does not appear that Darly has a security license.
When Fox News Digital reached out to Meyer about the payments, he replied, "No comment."
