DOJ is abandoning efforts for court-approved settlements with Minneapolis and Louisville after finding they had violated Black people's civil rights.

The Justice Department has moved to cancel settlements with Minneapolis and Louisville, Kentucky, that called for an overhaul of policing following the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

The consent decrees had been in place since the 2020 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the killing of Breonna Taylor in Louisville.

Harmeet K. Dhillon, who leads the Justice Department’s civil rights division, announced the decision days before the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.

The Minneapolis mayor blasted the administration for the timing of the announcement: “All Donald Trump really cares about is political theater.”

Arizona GOP Congressman Abe Hamadeh took a victory lap as the Trump Justice Department announced it what called politically motivated and weaponized investigations into police departments.

The Justice Department has changed the guidance for a popular local police grant program, prioritizing border security and cutting language about "underserved populations," according to public documents reviewed by CBS News.

The Oklahoma City Police Department is no longer under the scrutiny of the U.S. Department of Justice. The government agency announced the repeal of a Biden-era investigation on Wednesday, dismissing the DOJ's misconduct lawsuit against the city.
