President Donald Trump has stopped federal police reform efforts enacted under the Biden administration. The Justice Department ordered a halt to all open civil rights investigations into police departments. This includes investigations into departments such as the NYPD’s Special Victims Division and the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, where the DOJ found systemic civil rights violations. As of this moment, each of these agencies is off the hook. Despite findings of extensive police misconduct in these agencies – including excessive force, racial discrimination, illegal searches, and others – The Marshall Project notes that ‘it will be tough to overhaul police practices without federal involvement in each of these places.’ That seems to be the point.” (04/30/25)
