DOJ: More than 300 charged in $14.6B health care fraud schemes takedown

WASHINGTON (AP) — State and federal prosecutors have charged more than 320 people in the largest coordinated takedown of health care fraud schemes in Justice Department history that uncovered nearly $15 million in false claims. Law enforcement seized more than $245 million in cash, luxury vehicles, cryptocurrency and other assets amid growing concerns about transnational criminal organizations seeking to defraud the U.S. health care system. Prosecutors have identified perpetrators operating in Russia, eastern Europe, Pakistan and other countries. The alleged $14.6 billion in fraud is more than twice the previous record in the Justice Department’s annual health care fraud crackdown.

Trump administration sues LA, claiming the city refuses to cooperate on immigration

LOS ANGELES (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration filed suit Monday against Los Angeles, claiming the city is obstructing the enforcement of immigration laws and creating a lawless environment with its sanctuary policies that bar local police from sharing information on people without legal status. The lawsuit in U.S. District Court says Los Angeles’ ” sanctuary city” ordinance hinders White House efforts to crack down on what it calls a “crisis of illegal immigration.” It is the latest in a string of lawsuits against so-called sanctuary jurisdictions — including New York,New Jersey and Colorado — that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The Los Angeles policy bars city resources from being used for immigration enforcement.

Judge again delays Abrego Garcia’s release from Tenn. jail over deportation concerns

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kilmar Abrego Garcia will stay in jail for now over concerns from his lawyers that he could be deported if he’s released to await his trial on human smuggling charges, a federal judge in Tennessee ruled Monday. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys had asked the judge to delay his release because of what they described as “contradictory statements” by President Donald Trump’s administration over what would happen to the Salvadoran national. The lawyers wrote in a brief to the court Friday that “we cannot put any faith in any representation made on this issue” by the Justice Department, adding that the “irony of this request is not lost on anyone.” Justice Department spokesman Chad Gilmartin told The Associated Press on Thursday that the department intends to try Abrego Garcia on the smuggling charges before it moves to deport him, stating that Abrego Garcia “has been charged with horrific crimes, including trafficking children, and will not walk free in our country again.”
