Why a DOJ prosecutor resigned, telling coworkers and bosses 'you serve no man'

doj prosecutor leavesA prosecutor with years of experience at the U.S. Department of Justice has resigned amid major changes from the Trump administration, telling NPR, "It just was not a Department of Justice that I any longer wanted to associate with."

In a sharp resignation letter shared with NPR, former Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Murphy warned of the erosion of the Justice Department's independence from the president, writing to his coworkers, "you serve no man."

In response to NPR's request for comment, a spokesperson for the Department of Justice said in a statement, "This Department of Justice is acutely focused on Making America Safe Again and ensuring one tier of justice for all Americans after historic political weaponization under the previous administration."

Judge bars Trump administration from deporting Indian academic over political views

Georgetown U

A US district judge has barred Donald Trump’s administration from deporting an Indian academic from Georgetown University after the Department of Homeland Security accused him of having ties to Hamas.

On Thursday, US district judge Patricia Giles in Alexandria, Virginia, prohibited federal officials from deporting Badar Khan Suri, a postdoctoral fellow at the university, in an order that is to remain in effect until it is lifted by the court, Reuters reports.

Giles’s order comes after Suri, whose wife is of Palestinian heritage, filed an emergency court request to prevent deportation.

Department of Homeland Security agents on Monday detained Suri, a postdoctoral fellow at the university’s Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, saying that his visa was revoked. Suri’s attorney said that he was arrested on the same spurious legal grounds as Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, according to Politico.

Pentagon restores histories of Navajo Code Talkers, other Native veterans after public outcry

Thomas Begay

The Pentagon restored some webpages highlighting the crucial wartime contributions of Navajo Code Talkers and other Native American veterans on Wednesday, days after tribes condemned the action.

The initial removal was part of a sweep of any military content that promoted diversity, equity and inclusion, or commonly referred to as DEI. Following President Donald Trump’s broader executive order ending the federal government’s DEI programs, the Defense Department deleted thousands of pages honoring contributions by women and minority groups. Department officials say the Navajo Code Talker material was erroneously erased.

“In the rare cases that content is removed — either deliberately or by mistake — that is out of the clearly outlined scope of the directive, we instruct the components and they correct the content so it recognizes our heroes for their dedicated service alongside their fellow Americans, period,” Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot said in a statement.

Trump Administration Arrests Georgetown University Postdoctoral Fellow

Badar Suri

The Trump administration on Wednesday defended the detention of a Georgetown University postdoctoral fellow by immigration agents.

Badar Khan Suri, an Indian citizen who entered the U.S. on a J-1 student visa, was arrested by masked agents with the Department of Homeland Security outside his home in Arlington, Virginia, on Monday evening, according to a lawsuit obtained by Politico. The agents claimed his visa had been revoked.

The court papers filed by Hassan Ahmad, Suri’s attorney, allege that he has not been charged with any crime and has no criminal record, according to Politico, which was first to report the story.

Judge who opposed Trump attacks on judiciary cleared of ethics complaints

Reggie WaltonA federal judge has been cleared of wrongdoing for going on CNN to speak out against threats made against members of the judiciary and respond to President Donald Trump's comments about the daughter of the judge who presided over the New York case in which Trump was convicted last year.

The Philadelphia-based 3rd Circuit Judicial Council threw out two ethics complaints against Senior U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton in Washington. It found that Walton did not talk about the merits of any legal case but instead commented only on Trump's statements made on social media about Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the New York criminal case, and his family.

Chief U.S. Circuit Judge Michael Chagares said Walton warned about the "unintended consequences" of public remarks like those made by Trump and "also emphasized the importance of the independence of judicial officers in maintaining the rule of law and ensuring that laws are applied equally to all who appear before a judge."

Ben & Jerry's alleges its CEO was ousted over the ice cream maker's political posts

Ben and JerryAs the relationship between Ben & Jerry’s and its parent company Unilever continues to grow tenser, the ice cream maker has alleged that its CEO was removed by Unilever over the company's political posts.

In a Tuesday filing in federal court in New York, Ben & Jerry’s accused Unilever of violating a merger agreement by continuously “silencing” Ben & Jerry’s “social mission.”

The ice cream maker says Unilever has threatened its CEO, David Stever, as well as other Ben & Jerry's employees, over their support for Palestinian refugees.

"Unilever has repeatedly threatened Ben & Jerry's personnel, including CEO David Stever, should they fail to comply with Unilever's efforts to silence the social mission," the filing said.

Trump doubles down on attack against judge after Roberts rebuke

Judge James BoasbergPresident Trump early Wednesday renewed his attacks on a federal judge who ordered the administration to turn around flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gang members, despite pushback from the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

“If a President doesn’t have the right to throw murderers, and other criminals, out of our Country because a Radical Left Lunatic Judge wants to assume the role of President, then our Country is in very big trouble, and destined to fail!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

The post was referring to U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg, who over the weekend ordered flights carrying Venezuelan migrants who were allegedly linked to the Tren de Aragua gang to El Salvador to be turned around. The administration has said the flights were already out of U.S. territory at the time, while also suggesting Boasberg did not have the authority to intervene in the matter.

Trump in an interview that aired late Tuesday with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham similarly criticized Boasberg’s decision, saying it was “terrible” and “not for a local judge to be making that determination.”
