Justice Department finds a pattern of misconduct by police in Trenton, New Jersey
Police in New Jersey’s capital have shown a pattern of misconduct, including using excessive force and making unlawful stops, the Justice Department said Thursday, in a report documenting arrests without legal basis, officers escalating situations with aggression and unnecessary use of pepper spray. The 45-page report comes after a roughly yearlong investigation into the Trenton Police Department, undertaken after an officer shot and paralyzed a young Black man who attempted to drive away when officers didn’t tell him why they had stopped him. The Justice Department found the police department’s practices violate the Fourth Amendment and the report makes more than two dozen recommendations for remedial action.

FBI, DHS leaders decline to testify publicly about threats facing US
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -FBI Director Christopher Wray and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declined to appear publicly on Thursday before a U.S. Senate committee to discuss national security threats, angering the panel's Democratic chairman. In a statement, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Gary Peters called their refusal to publicly testify a "shocking departure" that ran counter to 15 years of precedent. “Their choice to not provide public testimony about their departments’ efforts to address wide-ranging national security threats robs the American people of critical information and the opportunity for public accountability of what the federal government is doing to keep Americans safe," Peters said in a statement.
