Trump’s new Justice Department leadership orders a freeze on civil rights cases
SUMMARY: President Trump’s new Justice Department leadership has imposed a freeze on civil rights litigation and is reconsidering police reform agreements made by the Biden administration, as revealed in two obtained memos. Attorneys in the Civil Rights Division were instructed not to file new complaints or briefs until further notice. The memos indicate a potential abandonment of recent consent decrees in Louisville and Minneapolis, which were established to address civil rights violations following high-profile incidents involving police. The changes signal a shift in priorities under Trump, continuing a trend from his first administration toward restricting the use of consent decrees.

Road conditions across WLKY viewing area as snow continues to fall
SUMMARY: There are slowdowns and congestion in southern Indiana, particularly on I-64 near Floyd County and US 150. Heavy snow is falling in the area, with snow accumulation on grassy surfaces along I-71 near the Gene Snyder and other areas south. Drivers should be cautious of wet, potentially hazardous conditions, as untreated surfaces may be slippery. Some drivers are advised to avoid the roads today, but for those heading out, extra time is needed to clean snow off vehicles. The accumulation on side streets is minor due to fewer cars, but caution is still recommended.
