☆ House Republicans Are Ready to Impeach Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas, if They Have the Votes

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. House is ready to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over border security, a deeply partisan and highly unusual attack on a Cabinet official that has drawn concerns from constitutional scholars and rebuke from Democrats. The House vote on the charges, which Democrats say are untrue and hardly grounds for impeachment, is set for Tuesday. “Very clearly Secretary Mayorkas has picked and chosen which laws he's going to enforce,” said Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., the chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, at a hearing ahead of the vote. Green’s committee had been investigating the Homeland Security secretary for much of the past year, but a resolution from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., a Trump ally, pushed it to the fore. Even if Republicans are able to impeach Mayorkas, he is not expected to be convicted in a Senate trial where Republican senators have been cool to the effort.

But at the same time, the key role lawyers played in buttressing the former president’s plans speaks to a troubling crisis in the legal profession. The lawyers he conspired with — whose alleged conduct breached a host of rules of professional ethics, in addition to provisions of criminal law — did not emerge from whole cloth. for the first time demanded that students at any American law school wishing to retain its A.B.A. Members of both parties said they supported the goal: to make sure government lawyers consistently uphold the highest standards of professionalism in the public service. Dozens of other lawyers who represented Mr. Trump in election litigation now face misconduct allegations in state disciplinary proceedings nationwide.

☆ Opinion | The Genius of Leaving Trump’s Fate Up to 12 Ordinary Floridians

After the Sept. 11 attacks, courts became especially adept at protecting sensitive information even while sharing access to it with the defense and the jury. Juries still found enough information to assess the charges, and in many of those cases, they voted to convict. Despite all the challenges, the framers of the Constitution never doubted that national security crimes belonged in front of juries. The British government had used national security charges to silence its political opponents throughout the Colonies. They matter because the justice system cannot function unless most Americans view it as a legitimate arbiter of social disputes.

☆ NYC's subway is testing platform gates in a few stations to prevent people from being pushed onto tracks

The New York City MTA is installing barriers to stop commuters from being pushed onto tracks. Some riders have been on edge about subway pushings since the death of a woman in January 2022. The new barriers, part of a test, will be at just three stations and cost $100 million. The city will start installing barriers on three platforms in the months ahead, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority told The New York Post. "While platform screen doors might have prevented [Go's] killing in the way that it happened, It happened on the same subway platform where there were police officers," Pearlstein told the Post.

☆ New York City choking death revives debate over subway crime
  + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Julia Harte | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
The overall subway crime rate spiked in April 2020, as COVID-19 gripped New York, but city statistics show the daily rate fell back to pre-pandemic levels by mid-2021. Robbery and grand larceny, the other most common types of major subway crime, dropped during the same period. But the data does not show how often the assailants or victims are homeless, according to Herrmann. "The problem is people are conflating homelessness with crime," said Danny Pearlstein, policy and communications director at Riders Alliance, a grassroots organization that advocates for city subway reform. Republican Lee Zeldin highlighted grisly city subway crimes in last year's gubernatorial election, prompting Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul to also focus on anti-crime policies in her campaign.
☆ M.T.A. Averts Fiscal Crisis as New York Strikes Budget Deal

During each budget cycle, the authority has had to jockey for money against an array of other interests. “This was the most consistent and dependable funding proposal on the table,” said Danny Pearlstein, a spokesman for Riders Alliance, a grass-roots organization of transit riders. The Covid-19 emergency plunged the system into crisis as riders abandoned it, depleting fare revenue it had critically depended on. The state deal will provide $65 million to reduce the first potential fare hike, which could bring the fare closer to $2.86 instead of $2.90. There has not been a fare hike since the start of the pandemic.
☆ New York to install security cameras on every subway car
  + stars: | 2022-09-20 | by ( Jonathan Allen | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
REUTERS/Lucas JacksonNEW YORK, Sept 20 (Reuters) - The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is installing security cameras in all of New York City's subway cars, officials announced on Tuesday. New York Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, said the cameras would make riders more confident in the safety of the transit system. The plan is to install two cameras in each of 6,355 subway cars, building on a pilot program that saw cameras installed in 100 cars. There are already security cameras in the subway system's more than 470 stations, though they do not always work. All survived their injuries, but the police search for the shooter was hampered by problems with the security cameras in the station.
