Truthout is an indispensable resource for activists, movement leaders and workers everywhere. Please make this work possible with a quick donation.

A top official within the Nashville, Tennessee, area’s Department of Justice (DOJ) offices has resigned after the Trump administration charged Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man mistakenly deported from the U.S. earlier this year, with human trafficking. Abrego Garcia, a noncitizen who has spent nearly half his life living in Maryland, was wrongfully deported this...
Is this a politically motivated prosecution? Or the antidote to a politically motivated non-prosecution? The New York Times covers it as an example of the former. The Department of Justice has opened a probe into former governor Andrew Cuomo’s testimony before Congress about his actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cuomo had insisted in his testimony...
As Democrats loved to remind us ad infinitum, over the last few years: No one is above the law. Right? Right? Looks like we’ll soon find out. The New Jersey Globe reports that one House Democrat will face federal charges for her role in an assault on an ICE facility a week ago that made...
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) announced on Tuesday that he was placing a hold on all of President Donald Trump’s remaining nominees at the Department of Justice (DOJ), in light of the president reportedly accepting a $400 million luxury jet as a gift from the government of Qatar.

The police knew Abrego Garcia was trafficking the group from Missouri to...

The suit objects to sanctuary policies — local...
ActBlue said that Trump’s order was his latest move to “stamp out all political, electoral and ideological opposition.” President Donald Trump has directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s primary fundraising platform, just months before the 2025 election cycle, in which numerous congressional seats are up for grabs.

New York AG Letitia James has hired attorney Abbe Lowell to respond to the allegations that she was involved in some sort of mortgage fraud on her various properties.

The gloves have come off against Tren de Aragua, and not just in terms of deportations. Among the first actions Donald Trump took on taking office was to designate TdA as a terror organization. That simplified deportations already in the pipeline, as that designation can accelerate the expulsion process for anyone affiliated with terror orgs....
Oh, well, lookee what we have here – a gentle nudge from House Oversight Committee Chair Rep James Comer. It seems that flashy Andrew Cuomo, disgraced randy man-about-town former governor of New York, reviled as the murderer of thousands of helpless, fragile nursing home patients during COVID, and front runner in the current New York...
Looks like Janet Mills will get her wish. Two months ago, Donald Trump warned the governor of Maine that he would cut off federal education funding to the state if she and the legislature didn’t keep biological males out of female-only spaces. “We’ll see you in court,” Mills replied. Wish granted: “They are failing to...
