FBI ordred to prioritize immigration, as DOJ scales back white collar cases

From Reuters, May 12, 2025:

  • Summary
  • Field offices tell FBI agents to scale up on immigration enforcement and deprioritize white collar cases
  • Criminal Division issues new guidance to prosecutors that narrows the scope of white collar enforcement efforts
  • Prosecutors told to consider whether corporate misconduct warrants federal prosecution

From DoseofDemocracy:

“Amnesty for white criminals, the entire weight of the instruments of state violence for innocent brown immigrants. The Trump regime in a nutshell.”

AOC’s 3 a.m. comment over miscarriages sparks fiery exchange with GOP male counterparts

From Politico, May 14, 2025

“Around 3 a.m., the prominent New York Democrat attempted to address a question to committee Republicans about what the consequences might be for patients having miscarriages under the GOP’s proposed work requirements to qualify for Medicaid. The broader legislation would exempt pregnant patients and those undergoing postpartum care from having to work as a condition of getting Medicaid services, but does not explicitly mention whether people experiencing a loss of pregnancy would need to be actively employed during that time, too.“
