9th Circuit rules in DOJ's favor in sanctuary cities case

"DOJ did not exceed its statutory authority in awarding bonus points to applicants that selected the illegal immigration focus area," the judges wrote, arguing that "DOJ's determination that the techniques of community policing may be used to address this public safety issue (illegal immigration) was entirely reasonable."

Prosecutors unlikely to charge Trump Org executives, sources say

(CNN) — A federal investigation into whether Trump Organization executives violated campaign-finance laws appears to be wrapping up without charges being filed, according to people familiar with the matter.
For months, federal prosecutors in New York have examined whether company officials broke the law, including in their effort to reimburse Michael Cohen for hush-money payments he made to women alleging affairs with his former boss, President Donald Trump.

In recent weeks, however, their investigation has quieted, the people familiar with the inquiry said, and prosecutors now don't appear poised to charge any Trump Organization executives in the probe that stemmed from the case against Cohen.
