New York president John Mara said Jones approached the team about releasing him and the club obliged. Mara added he was “disappointed” at the quick dissolution of a once-promising relationship between Jones and the team.

In a memo sent to team officials, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, the NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Brock Purdy will miss Sunday's game for the 49ers with a shoulder injury SANTA CLARA, Calif.

Soto batted .288 with 41 homers, 109 RBIs and 129 walks in his first season with the Yankees, then became a free agent at age 26.Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt called on President-elect to work to further combat following the release of a study finding labor discrimination against Israeli and Jewish Americans. In an on Tuesday, Greenblatt outlined the study that found Jewish American job candidates have almost a 25% more difficult chance of receiving positive first responses from prospective employers than Americans with Western European backgrounds. Israeli Americans were at an even bigger disadvantage, needing to send 39% more applications to receive the same number of positive responses as their Western European counterparts. The field experiment, sponsored by the ADL, studied 3,000 inquiries into administrative assistant job openings across the country differing based on the name used, either sounding Jewish, Israeli, or Western European as well as changing the resume to reflect a Jewish, Israeli, or Western European background. "This data is significant because we're on the cusp of a new political administration in Washington, and we're seeing the results of unaddressed antisemitism," Greenblatt said. "We hope that the Trump administration, specifically the Trump labor department, will take action to stop this once and for all." Trump's pick for labor secretary, U.S. Rep. , R-Ore., has a record of supporting bipartisan bills to address antisemitism, including introducing a bill to protect Jewish students on college campuses in the wake of protests to the Israel-Hamas war. Harassment, violence and derogatory rhetoric targeting Jewish people have risen in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel and the . A staunch supporter of Israel during his first term as president, in 2019, he signed an that encouraged the application of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to antisemitic activity. In 2020, Trump's administration brokered the Abraham Accords, normalizing relations in the Middle East between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. This year, he campaigned on his continued allyship with Israel despite criticism of the . But Trump's record of supporting the long-time allied nation does not come without conflicting commentary and associations related to Jewish people. Just one month before, Trump said during an that Jewish Americans who vote Democratic in the coming election should "have their head examined." Just weeks before the presidential election, Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly, Trump said that "Hitler did some good things" and showed admiration for the German dictator who was responsible for the systematic killing of 6 million Jewish people and millions of others. Greenblatt said he was "optimistic" that Trump would "step up in his new second term and take additional steps and demonstrate that antisemitism is un-American." Trump-Vance transition spokesman Kush Desai wrote in a statement that the president-elect is committed to fighting discrimination. "President Trump has repeatedly and unequivocally condemned antisemitism in all forms, both on the campaign trail and during his first administration," Desai said. "He will continue to take a stand against antisemitism and other forms of bigotry to be the president of ALL Americans and unify the country through success." To combat the discrimination found in the ADL study, vice president of the ADL's Center of Antisemitism Research Matt Williams told USA TODAY that violations of workplace practice laws need to be enforced. "It's going to be about incentivizing following existing rules," he said. "There are a lot of things on the books already that are not being enforced when it comes to issues like ." But discrimination against the Jewish community goes beyond religion, Williams said, with many people facing prejudice over their ethnic and cultural practices as well. Encouraging the Labor Department under Trump to incentivize industries and corporations to teach about the Jewish experience as a whole in the workplace, he said, could be a valuable tool in combating prejudice. As for what a new administration can do to combat antisemitism, not all are optimistic. "It feels like in the (Biden administration), no matter how much they’ve done to encourage (diversity, equity and inclusion work), Jews are still not being included in that by workplaces,” said Steven Phillips, co-founder of Jewish ERGs, a group partnered with Clal - The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership that's supportive of corporations having employee resource groups for Jewish people. Trump has been clear about the future of in his second administration: it's unwanted. Initiatives focused on fostering diversity and inclusivity in the workplace have received major backlash from conservatives in recent years as being divisive and discriminatory because they support workers who are LGBTQ+ and people of color. Spokesman and incoming head of communications told USA TODAY last month that “President Trump has been very clear about ending the woke DEI garbage infecting this country." Former Amazon employee Phillips started the company's first Jewish employee resource group to build community within the workplace and said the ADL study just confirmed what he already thought: Antisemitism is pervasive across the labor market, even before you get the job. Phillips said he's unsure if halting DEI efforts would have a negative impact on Jewish workers "when we’re so inconsistently included already."
( MENAFN - EIN Presswire) Plaintiff Files federal Suit Against Former Minneapolis Police Officer and City of Minneapolis for Sexual Assault and Civil Rights Violations MINNEAPOLIS, MN, UNITED STATES, December 27, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- A federal lawsuit has been filed against former Minneapolis police officer David Edward Campbell, alleging that he sexually assaulted a minor female on numerous occasions while on duty and in uniform. According to the complaint filed by attorneys Timothy Lessman and Paul Peterson, Officer Campbell violated Minneapolis Police Department policies and procedures by conducting unauthorized ride-alongs with the minor in his squad car. The repeated unauthorized ride-alongs, allegedly witnessed by other Minneapolis police officers and supervisors, were neither reported nor investigated. David Edward Campbell was subsequently convicted of 3rd Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct, 4th Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct, Terroristic Threats, and Stalking. He served a prison sentence for his crimes against the minor. Attorney Timothy Lessman, representing the plaintiff, stated:“There is an inherent cruelty to these actions because they were committed by a person of authority, and because they were committed against a vulnerable young person. Mr. Campbell and the City of Minneapolis failed to protect this young lady's civil rights in favor of protecting themselves. On behalf of our client, we are seeking to address the damage caused by these horrific abuses and ensure such violations never happen again.” The civil suit seeks to hold both David Edward Campbell and the City of Minneapolis accountable for the trauma inflicted on the plaintiff and for the failure to enforce department policies designed to prevent such abuses. This case underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in law enforcement to protect the civil rights and safety of all citizens. The case is captioned L.M.G. v. David Edward Campbell, acting in his individual capacity as a Minneapolis Police Officer, and the City of Minneapolis, Court File No.: 0:24-cv-04622.
