Garland vows return to 'normal' Justice Dept. on 1st day

President Joe Biden's pick for attorney general Merrick Garland, addresses staff on his first day at the Department of Justice, Thursday, March 11, 2021, in Washington. Welcome to the new Justice Department, likely a much tamer place to be after four years of blaring headlines under Donald Trump. The former president insisted that his attorney general, and entire department, be loyal to him personally, battering the departmentโ€™s reputation for political independence. โ€œWhen I walked in the door of Main Justice this morning, it really did feel like I was coming home,โ€ Garland said, referring to Justice Department headquarters. AdAbout 15 minutes later, he took the oath of office, administered by Assistant Attorney General Lee Lofthus.

Militias in Michigan: A troubling presence dating back decades

The Michigan Militia was first brought to the spotlight after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. AdTimothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, the men who carried out the attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, were said to have attended Michigan Militia meetings. Dr. JoEllen Vinyard, a retired EMU history professor, studied the Michigan Militia in the late 1990s and into the early 2000s. โ€œThat was one of their major worries across all the different groups.โ€The early meetings of the Michigan Militia were attended by McVeigh and Nichols.

Bird pose along the Grand Traverse Bay waterfront in Traverse City, Mich., Feb. 13, 2021. โ€œIn this age, no place is an island,โ€ said Warren Call, president of a business organization in Traverse City, the county seat.

Biden introduces Merrick Garland as attorney general pick

Attorney General nominee Merrick Garland speaks during an event with President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris at The Queen theater in Wilmington, Del., Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021. If confirmed by the Senate, which is likely, Garland would take over as the U.S. attorney general at a critical moment for the country and the agency. His confirmation prospects as attorney general were all but ensured when Democrats scored control of the Senate majority by winning both Georgia Senate seats. Biden also introduced three others for senior Justice Department leadership posts on Thursday, including Obama administration homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco as deputy attorney general and former Justice Department civil rights chief Vanita Gupta as associate attorney general, the No. Garland was selected over other finalists including former Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.

Beyond the no-knock: Push in states to reform police tactics

But with no-knock warrants, officers don't have to say anything and don't have to wait. โ€œThere has been an historic issuance of no-knock warrants for inappropriate purposes, basically for fishing expeditions for drug evidence,โ€ said Kraska, who helped Campaign Zero write its recommendations. The group is now working with 37 cities and states to introduce legislation on no-knock warrants. In Charlotte, North Carolina, when police Chief Johnny Jennings took over his post in July he dug into the issue of no-knock warrants and ended their use for the department's 1,800 officers. โ€œWe found that if there is something that is so dangerous that it requires a no-knock search warrant, that we did not need to take that risk.

Anti-government groups shift focus from Washington to states

Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, convicted in the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building that killed 168 people, were reported to have met with Michigan militia activists. In many ways, their focus is unchanged, including contempt for authority, reverence for the Second Amendment and backwoods military-style training exercises. The group used Facebook to recruit members and communicated on an encrypted messaging platform, the affidavit said. The ADL said it wasnโ€™t immediately clear if the suspects had extensive ties to other self-styled militia groups. Their more recent focus on state governments makes the job of monitoring them and preventing terrorist activities harder, he said.

He would be the first African American on federal death row to be put to death in the series of federal executions this year. Two days after killing Tiesler, LeCroy was arrested driving Tieslerโ€™s truck after passing a U.S. checkpoint in Minnesota heading to Canada. Authorities found a note LeCroy wrote before his arrest in which he asked Tiesler for forgiveness, according to court filings.

He was convicted in 2004 on a federal charge of carjacking resulting in death and a jury recommended a death sentence.

(AP Photo/Jonathan J. Cooper)CHICAGO The only Native American on federal death row is set to die Wednesday for the slayings of a 9-year-old and her grandmother nearly two decades ago, though many Navajos are hoping for last-minute intervention by President Donald Trump to halt the execution.

There are currently 58 men and one woman on federal death row, many of whose executions have been pending for over 20 years. Several relatives had said they opposed Mitchell's execution.
