Two young aides to the Israeli embassy, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. The suspect shouted "Free, free Palestine" after his arrest, and police are investigating the incident as an act of targeted violence. The shooting highlights how the pro-Palestine movement often devolves into Jew-hatred, far beyond the anti-Israel sentiments they describe. 🇿🇦 Trump grilled South Africa's president over white farmer killings. President Trump showed South African President Cyril Ramaphosa video footage of alleged white Afrikaner farmer graves during their Oval Office meeting, lambasting Ramaphosa over mass violence committed against them.

Consent decrees are court-approved agreements designed to fix issues like misconduct or civil rights violations — often leading to federal oversight of local police departments for years. The decision rejects the Biden-Harris administration's findings of unconstitutional policing in both cities in the aftermath of the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor in 2020. _THE FACTS_ DOJ is withdrawing consent decrees for Minneapolis and Louisville police, calling them "factually unjustified." Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the Biden DOJ cherry-picked statistics and ignored context in its investigations. In Memphis, the Biden administration suggested that police were racially discriminating against the homeless. However, the city and police department are both majority-black, as is 75 percent of the homeless population. DOJ is also ending investigations in Phoenix, Memphis, Oklahoma City, Trenton, Mount Vernon, and the Louisiana State Police. Biden-era decrees would have governed officer training, hiring, discipline, and use-of-force policies in local police departments for years. Dhillon said the decrees would cost taxpayers hundreds of millions and reduce police effectiveness. Many of these investigations were initiated by former Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, an open supporter of defunding the police. _OUR INSIGHTS _ Insights and analysis are for members only.
