Washington, DC is suing President Trump over the deployment of
National Guard troops. D C's black mayor, Muriel Bowser.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
We know that we have had fewer gun crimes, fewer homicides.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
And we have experienced an extreme reduction in carjackings. But
the lawsuit argues Trump has run roughshod over a fundamental
tenet of American democracy that the military should not be
involved in domestic law enforcement. This comes after a federal
judge ruled earlier this week that the Trump administration's deployment
of National Guard troops in California was illegal. According to

(01:43):
a senior official familiar with planning, the administration is working
on an extension that could keep troops in the nation's
capital through December. Trump has also suggested he plans to
deploy the National Guard to other cities like Chicago and
New Orleans. Nationwide student walkouts are planned for today in

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Seems to have had an infraction, and she can't have
an infraction, especially that infraction, because she's in charge of,
if you think about it, mortgages, and we need people
that are one hundred percent above board, and it doesn't
seem like she was.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Last month, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency,
Bill Polti, sent the DOJ two criminal referral letters related
to properties owned by Cook in Michigan and Georgia. Officials
have started issuing subpoenas in both states as part of
the investigation. President Trump has moved to Firecook with cause
over the matter. And for months has been urging the
FED to cut rates. Don Quinet Joppy, and African American

(03:06):
ic unurse from Aurora, Colorado, won a twenty million dollar
jury award after being wrongfully blamed for a patient's death,
subjected to racial discrimination, and fired for speaking out. The
incident occurred when Joppi followed instructions to withdraw life support
from a patient who later died of natural causes. The
hospital accused her of suffocating the patient and reported her
to state regulators, leading to her termination and criminal charges

(03:30):
that were later dropped. Joppy's lawsuit revealed years of mistreatment
and discrimination at the hospital. Despite the hospital's plan to appeal,
Joppys hoping her case will lead to change for other
black nurses. Responding to Nigeria's alarming maternal mortality crisis, local
