Quick Glance: Operatives to Pay Up to $1.25M for Robocall Scheme Suppressing Black Votes

Two right-wing political operatives must pay up to $1.25 million in fines after being found liable for a robocall campaign targeting Black New Yorkers in the 2020 election.

The messages included false warnings that mail-in voting would lead to personal information being shared with police departments and credit card companies.

Under a settlement, Wohl and Burkman must pay a $1 million judgment to the NY attorney general’s office, the NCBCP, and the harmed plaintiffs.

Wohl and Burkman have faced charges in other states for similar robocall schemes targeting Black voters in 2020.

thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4569303-oregon-governor-signs-law-recriminalizing-drug-possession/

Quick Glance: Oregon Governor Signs Law Recriminalizing Drug Possession

Oregon's Democratic Governor, Tina Kotek, signed a law that recriminalizes the possession of small amounts of drugs, putting an end to an initial experiment with decriminalization.

The new law makes personal drug possession a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and encourages treatment options as an alternative to criminal penalties.

According to Kotek, the success of the law relies on close coordination between courts, police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and local mental health providers to achieve the intended goals.

The changes will be effective on September 1 after Oregon Democrats shifted their stance on decriminalization due to pressures from the fentanyl crisis and implementation issues.

thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4545785-texas-officials-feel-whiplash-after-courts-halt-immigration-law/

Quick Glance: Legal Battle Over Texas Immigration Law Intensifies Again

A federal appeals court issued a ruling late on Tuesday that once more halts Texas from apprehending migrants suspected of unlawfully entering the United States, shortly after the Supreme Court implemented the stringent new immigration law.

Earlier in the day, a split decision by the Supreme Court granted Texas permission to enforce a statute granting law enforcement extensive authority to detain migrants believed to have illegally crossed the border while the legal conflict regarding the provision unfolds.

Opponents view the legislation as the most extreme effort by a state to regulate immigration since the passage of an Arizona law over a decade ago, parts of which were invalidated by the Supreme Court.

The dispute over the immigration statute in Texas is among several legal clashes between Texan officials and the Biden administration concerning the extent to which the state can monitor the Texas-Mexico border and deter unauthorized border crossings.

Quick Glance: Mbalula Defends Stringent Candidate Selection Process for ANC List

The ANC defended its election candidate list selection process as rigorous, emphasizing that no one has been 'let off the hook'.

ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula highlighted the importance of candidates without pending court cases or disciplinary hearings.

Mbalula refuted claims that the ANC list was filled with individuals with adverse findings, stressing adherence to strict selection criteria.

Candidates were required to meet criteria such as post-matric qualifications, leadership modules completion at the Oliver Tambo School of Leadership, ANC membership in good standing, and a clean criminal record.

International Operation Targets Notorious LockBit Ransomware Group: Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project

occrp.org/en/daily/18494-international-operation-targets-notorious-lockbit-ransomware-group

Quick Glance: International Operation Targets Infamous LockBit Ransomware

In a coordinated operation, law enforcement agencies from 10 countries uncovered and dismantled the criminal activity of the notorious LockBit ransomware group.

According to the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA), LockBit ransomware attacks have impacted thousands of victims worldwide, resulting in billions in losses from ransom payments and recovery costs.

LockBit operated using a 'Ransomware-as-a-Service' model, providing a platform for a global network of hackers, known as affiliates, to launch attacks and steal data.

The international action against LockBit was the outcome of an extensive investigation led by the NCA as part of Operation Cronos, an international task force coordinated by Europol and Eurojust.

Quick Glance: New Law Prohibits Homeless Individuals from Sleeping in Public Places

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a controversial bill aimed at prohibiting homeless individuals from sleeping in public places.

Commencing on October 1, the law will forbid cities and counties from permitting individuals to sleep on public property unless specific criteria established by the Florida Department of Children and Families are met.

An annual report from the Florida Council on Homelessness revealed a 9% increase in homelessness rates in Florida over the past five years.

Critics of the legislation argue that it places local governments in a position where they may end up criminalizing homelessness instead of offering clear solutions to assist those in need.

DA leader John Steenhuisen says the ANC has violated a recent ConCourt order to submit full records of its cadre deployment committee's meetings and decisions from 2013 to 2021.

The DA will file a contempt of court application against the ANC for failing to provide complete and unredacted records of its cadre deployment documents.

The DA also plans to appeal the North Gauteng High Court's dismissal of their application to challenge the legality and constitutionality of the ANC's cadre deployment policy.

The party blames an employee, citing a crashed computer and deleted records, for the inability to fully disclose the required records.
