DOJ went after protesters for felony assault, but juries, judges were unconvinced, AP analysis finds
The U.S. Justice Department has struggled to secure felony convictions against most of the 102 protesters arrested since last year for assaulting federal authorities in four major cities. Of those arrests, The Associated Press found that 41% were dismissed and 34% pleaded down to misdemeanors. The government didn't win any of the 12 felony assault cases that went to trial.

Officers made 57 immigration arrests in the September 2025 raid at the Nutrition Bar Confectioners plant in Cato, New York, a town of 2,500 people east of Syracuse. The officers ordered a manager to announce their presence over loudspeakers while they entered the building and caught employees on the production line, in the warehouse and a few in the bathroom.

Prosecutor brought in to lead investigation of Trump foes tells AP that he has resigned his position
An ally of President Donald Trump says he has resigned from his post leading a Justice Department investigation into whether former law enforcement and intelligence officials conspired against the Republican president. “I did in fact resign,” Joe diGenova told The Associated Press on Thursday, calling it an “honor and a privilege” to serve Trump and the Justice Department. He declined to comment on the circumstances of his departure, which came just five months after he was brought back to the Justice Department to help oversee a loosely defined investigation targeting former government officials who over the last decade had scrutinized Trump. A spokesperson for the Justice Department did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
