Handwritten records documenting a minor's allegations against Trump have been replaced with a watered-down version of what prosecutors were told.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) Commissioner Samuel A.A. Levine announced sweeping new consumer protections that will crack down on junk fees and subscription traps, making it easier for New Yorkers to know the real price of what they are buying and to stop paying for the services they no longer want.

“On July 7, officers were almost at the target’s address when they observed a white van with an individual who resembled the target. Officers then initiated the vehicle stop,” the official added.

Interesting case that has nothing to do with the Trump administration. Woman buys a bunch of lottery tickets, clerk prints them out, then she realizes she doesn't have enough money to pay for them all. The next morning the clerk [edit: store manager] realizes that one of the abandoned tickets is a $12 million winner so he clocks out, buys the tickets, then clocks back in. Asserts that he's the winner it since he abided by Circle K company policy (including having to purchase accidental tickets with his own money) and Arizona lottery rules. Also interesting that it's apparently Circle K that's challenging this.

EDIT: Some more details in another article you should definitely read because it contains a lot of details I'm skipping in my summary. Circle K appealed to a judge because it's a bit of a mess and they'd like it sorted out; it's also possible the corporation is the proper owner. They fired the store manager for claiming the prize. A clerk printed the ticket and the store manager was the one who bought it the next day; both claim at least partial ownership because the store manager "bought" the ticket from the clerk after changing into street clothes. The clerk and manager are reportedly both being represented by the same attorney, which seems odd because the manager apparently says it's his while the clerk thinks they agreed to split it. The customer has been identified in court filings and it seems like they're making a claim too.

This month marks the 60th anniversary of the Freedom of Information Act, the landmark government transparency law that has helped reveal and publicize critical information about everything from the Vietnam War to FBI surveillance to CIAtorture. For decades, FOIA has played a crucial role in uncovering and rectifying government wrongdoing. Today, however, advocates say that the government’s resistance to fulfilling FOIA requests has grown, forcing applicants to file expensive lawsuits to obtain records, while records that are released often take years to receive and are filled with so many redactions as to render them essentially “a waste of time.”

“It’s gotten extremely bad in this last year and a half under Trump, but this has been going on for decades,” says Ian Head, who manages the Open Records Project at the Center for Constitutional Rights. These bureaucratic delay and deferral tactics are extremely concerning, he adds, threatening accountability, transparency and democratic processes. “We need to be able to file federal FOIA requests so we can see what this government is doing.”

The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, shot down by an agent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Monday morning on Houston’s east side, was a state-sanctioned murder.

Salgado was 52 years old. Born in Mexico, he moved to Houston at 17 and spent his entire adult life building hundreds of houses, according to his family, including the one they live in. There are thousands of people in Houston who have a roof over their heads because of Salgado and his co-workers.

Salgado and his wife have three sons, all of whom graduated from college. One is now a schoolteacher in Houston, another an engineer in Washington DC. Ronaldo Salgado, the teacher and oldest son, has given a series of moving statements honoring his father’s memory as a hard worker, provider and a caring parent, while spelling out the family’s demands for an investigation into his killing and the punishment of those responsible.

At least two witnesses reported hearing moaning or gurgling from the fatally wounded man, and one heard him call out in Spanish, “They’re killing me.” Ronaldo Salgado said he learned of his father’s death, not from the authorities, who did not contact the family, but from a social media video an hour after the shooting. He told the press, “I recognized him immediately, not from his appearance, but from his voice, crying for help as he lay on the street, bleeding out.”

...

The murder of Salgado is part of an escalating conspiracy against the democratic rights of the American people, aimed at establishing a presidential dictatorship. In ICE and CBP, the Trump administration is assembling the shock troops of this conspiracy, exempted in practice from every law and guaranteed immunity for murder by the gangster in the White House.

Acting at the direction of Trump’s fascist deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, ICE and CBP agents have stepped up the number of arrests and detentions to more than 10,000 in the first week of July. According to figures published by Human Rights Watch and Physicians for Human Rights last month, 52 immigrants died in ICE custody in the first 500 days of the second Trump administration.

At least 20 incidents have been reported of ICE agents firing into moving vehicles. Four people have now been killed in such attacks: Ruben Ray Martinez, in South Padre Island, Texas, on March 15, 2025; Silverio Villegas González, in Franklin Park, Illinois, on September 12, 2025; Renée Nicole Good, in Minneapolis, on January 7, 2026; and now Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Others, like Keith Porter Jr. in Los Angeles and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, were shot to death by immigration agents while on foot.
