This Week at Justice - June 21, 2024 Former Colorado Resident Sentenced to Life in Prison for Federal Hate Crimes and Firearm Offenses Related to Mass Shooting at Club Q June 18, 2024 "Fueled by hate, the defendant targeted members of the LGBTQIA+ community at a place that represented belonging, safety, and acceptance – stealing five people from their loved ones, injuring 19 others, and striking fear across the country. I am grateful to every agent, prosecutor, and staff member across the Department – from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado, to the Civil Rights Division, the ATF, and FBI – for their work on this case. The Justice Department will never stop working to defend the safety and civil rights of all people in our country." -Attorney General Merrick B. Garland AAG Clarke: "This was one of the most violent, hate-fueled mass shootings targeting the LGBTQIA+ community in our nation's history. This sentence, while severe, cannot undo the harm inflicted on that day. I want the entire LGBTQIA+ community to know that the Justice Department stands with you. In America, no one should be subjected to hate or violence because of who they are, what they look like, or who they love." Federal Indictment Alleges Alliance Between Sinaloa Cartel and Money Launderers Linked to Chinese Underground Banking June 18, 2024 "Dangerous drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine are destroying people’s lives but drug traffickers only care about their profits. To protect our community, therefore, it is essential that we go after the sophisticated, international criminal syndicates that launder the drug money. As this indictment and our international actions show, we will be dogged in our pursuit of all those who facilitate destruction in our country and make sure they are held accountable for their actions." -United States Attorney for the Central District of California E. Martin Estrada Justice Department Announces Extradition of Indian National Charged in Connection with Foiled Plot to Assassinate U.S. Citizen in New York City June 17, 2024 "This extradition makes clear that the Justice Department will not tolerate attempts to silence or harm American citizens. Nikhil Gupta will now face justice in an American courtroom for his involvement in an alleged plot, directed by an employee of the Indian government to target and assassinate a U.S. citizen for his support of the Sikh separatist movement in India. I am grateful to the Department’s agents who foiled this assassination plot and to our Czech partners for their assistance in this arrest and extradition." -Attorney General Merrick B. Garland United States Files Complaint Against Adobe and Two Adobe Executives for Alleged Violations of Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act June 17, 2024 "The Justice Department is committed to stopping companies and their executives from preying on consumers who sign up for online subscriptions by hiding key terms and making cancellation an obstacle course. We will continue to enforce ROSCA against those who engage in such misconduct. No company, whether it is a small business or a member of the Fortune 500 like Adobe, is above the law." -Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division Brian M.
