U.S. Attorney Andrew Benson Provides Statement Regarding Peaceful Protest vs. Unlawful Obstruction
"Every member of federal law enforcement swears to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. This oath guides the men and women of law enforcement as they fulfill their duty to enforce federal law, including the laws relating to illegal immigration.
The Constitution guarantees the right to peacefully assemble and to protest. These are fundamentalrights that form the basis for a free society. What is not protected, however, are acts of violence against other individuals, destruction of property, or obstruction of lawful governmental activity.
In the coming days, if Maine citizens seek to exercise their rights to assemble and protest, it is vital that these protests remain peaceful. Anyone who forcibly assaults or impedes a federal law enforcement officer, willfully destroys government property, or unlawfully obstructs federal law enforcement activity commits a federal crime and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Finally, it is incumbent upon anyone with a public voice--whether that be an elected official, commentator or engaged citizen--to similarly urge peaceful protest and engagement. Divisive, bombastic public statements only inflame the situation and make violence more likely.
Force, intimidation and threats have no place in our public discourse and are contrary to our time-honored tradition in Maine of peaceful civic engagement."

Tonight, the College Football Playoff National Championship brings a season of dedication, sacrifice, and hard work to a climactic conclusion. It stands as the final measure of months of preparation, resolve, and competition that have long defined college football--a beloved and uniquely American tradition.
For more than 150 years, college football has been a cherished fixture in American culture. Every fall and winter, massive crowds flock to stadiumsin college towns all across our Nation to witness the epic display of loyalty, rivalry, tradition, and regional identity erupting throughout the stands and on the field below. From the very first collegiate matchup in 1869, our country's love of this storied Saturday ritual has been passed down from one generation to the next and endured as an iconic American institution.
At its best, college football reflects our timeless American values of family, freedom, unity, and hard work and represents the pinnacle of our national spirit. It is seen in the players whose focus, discipline, and unwavering grit are forged in every practice and workout. It is upheld by the coaches who set high standards, demand greatness, and help cultivate incredible student-athletes--and even better Americans--who stop at nothing to achieve their God-given potential both on and off the field. And it is sustained by the fans whose dedication gives college football its lasting meaning, passion, and glory.
Melania and I congratulate the Indiana Hoosiers and the Miami Hurricanes on making it to the College Football Playoff National Championship. God bless the talented players and dedicated coaches, the families who love and support them, and the faithful fans who cheer them on. May the best team win!

USDA Launches Lender Lens Dashboard to Promote Data Transparency
*
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Deputy Secretary Stephen Vaden today unveiled the Lender Lens on the Rural Data Gateway. This dashboard will make Rural Development's entire commercial guaranteed loan portfolio available to the public, guaranteed borrowers and commercial lending stakeholders.
Lender Lens will give communities a clear view into where federal investments are being made by introducing a series of intuitivedata visualizations that allow users to monitor performance, spot trends and proactively manage their Rural Development loan guarantee portfolio. The dashboard showcases key metrics, including total loan volume, average loan size, loan distribution by sector, geographic spread, and delinquency rates, allowing an at-a-glance look at activity nationwide. Data is refreshed monthly and can easily be downloaded down to the individual loan, giving users timely, flexible access to the information they need.
"The Trump Administration knows that the American public values the importance of government data transparency," said Vaden. "The Lender Lens will highlight where USDA has expanded access to capital for businesses and rural communities who need it most and demonstrate how Rural Development funds are being used across rural America. It will help rural stakeholders see where investments are being made to expand or improve access to health care, save and create jobs and provide safe drinking water in their communities."
The Rural Data Gateway was developed in 2023 to help USDA better target resources for the people who need them most in rural America. It has enabled USDA to be a stronger partner to rural residents, entrepreneurs, government officials and other stakeholders. The Rural Data Gateway showcases Rural Development's investments that have helped rural Americans increase access to capital for their business, rehabilitate water and wastewater infrastructure and construct essential public services.
The Rural Data Gateway includes investment dashboards that show how Rural Development has supported local and regional economies over the last decade through 80 different programs. The dashboards are easy-to-use tools that highlight critical Rural Development investments for people in rural America and help them access the resources they need. The data will help users analyze trends across different states, counties and congressional districts.
Rural Data Gateway supports USDA's mission to expand public access to federal government data as required by the Open, Public, Electronic, and Necessary Government Data Act of 2018.

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico, Jan. 19 -- The U.S. Department of Energy Sandia National Laboratories issued the following news release:

Making the nation safer with Sandia's help
*
When a SWAT team trains multiple times a week, running repeated live-fire drills, the noise can be intense. Even with premium hearing protection, the sound and pressure can damage hearing over time, contributing to traumatic brain injuries for officers and disorienting civilians nearby. If only there were a way to curb that danger.
Those kinds of problems are exactly what the New Mexico Small Business Assistanceprogram has helped tackle for 25 years with support from Sandia National Laboratories and, since 2007, Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The program, created in the year 2000, helps small businesses solve critical challenges by providing technical assistance and expertise that they don't have access to anywhere else, at no cost to them.
This year, two of the businesses Sandia helped aim to make the nation safer with their products: Ridgeline Engineering and Manufacturing, which is working to reduce hearing damage from firearms, and Aperi Computational Mechanics Consulting, which is making critical engineering simulations faster and more affordable.
Ridgeline Engineering and Manufacturing
When Matias Roybal and his wife started Ridgeline Engineering and Manufacturing in 2018, the goal was to use his mechanical engineering background to build a product they could, in all ways, call their own.
"After college, I went right to work as a performance development engineer and have worked in the automotive, defense and aerospace industries," Roybal said. "I wanted to develop my own product and own the whole process, from design to finish."
With his expertise in mechanical and structural design and additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, Roybal started building a quieter firearm suppressor.
Protecting First Responders
"A big motivator is to protect the hearing of first responders like police officers and the military, as well as innocent bystanders," Roybal said.
Roybal, who grew up in Mora, New Mexico, knew the basics of firearms and the dangers of hearing loss because of his hunting and shooting experience, but when he delved deep into the industry and partnered with a local SWAT team member, he learned just how significant the impact is.
"When you have 25 guys on a team and you are training multiple days a week, running five-shot drills per person, you all of a sudden have a lot of sound, a lot of pressure and are heavily exposed," Roybal said. "While they are wearing premium hearing protection, you still get concussive impulse that causes hearing damage or even traumatic brain injuries. What we are trying to do with this product is take a problem in the industry and eliminate the occupational hazards."
Roybal also wanted to consider bystanders who may find themselves exposed to gunshots unexpectedly.
"When a SWAT team goes into a building and they must discharge a firearm, there are sometimes civilians. People's ears are ringing. It's difficult for everyone involved and puts officers and civilians in danger," Roybal said. "We're trying to reduce that sound, get rid of that concussive force and pressure. It helps the officer as they try to communicate with people to get them out safe."
Ridgeline Engineering and Manufacturing worked to build a suppressor they believe can better attenuate frequencies that cause hearing damage. But having a product in hand was just a first step.
Partnering with Sandia
That's when Roybal and his team turned to Sandia and NMSBA for help. They needed to test that suppressor.
"They needed high-fidelity acoustic recordings that required specialized, high-precision and calibrated equipment," said Michael Denison, Sandia acoustics and vibration engineer.
That is not something a small company like Ridgeline usually has access to. With the NMSBA program, they did.
It also gave them access to Denison's expertise and that of lab technologist Stephen Aulbach, who has extensive outside firearms experience.
Ridgeline and Sandia worked together for two years conducting sound tests. The tests were designed to not only record the sound the suppressor made, but the potential impact to everyone within hearing distance.
They placed microphones to the right and left of the muzzle, near the shooter and downrange, and recorded the sound at each point and then analyzed the data.
"The cool thing about this project is that most suppressor manufacturers only care about sound pressure level," Denison said. "We looked further into how the sound wave affects the human ear. We used modeling techniques that the Army Research Lab developed to figure out how certain suppressors will be more hearing safe. That is harder to quantify than simply measuring sound pressure levels."
The team, which also included Sandia engineer Chad Heitman, used Sandia's access to high-speed video and image equipment and diagnostics to show exactly what was going on inside the suppressor during firing.
"We built a suppressor with a clear case that showed the airflow so that we could see exactly what was going on inside the suppressor when a shot was taken. We were able to analyze each movement and action taking place," Roybal said.
That enabled the Ridgeline team to make necessary changes and create a better product, all the while consulting those with firsthand experience, including law enforcement officers, a retired Special Forces colonel and soldiers at Fort Carson and Fort Bragg.
The end picture
Ridgeline's suppressor is now on the market, but the team said they will keep working to make it even better.
"Building a safer environment for those impacted by firearms is important to this team," Roybal said. "The reason that we are using this high-fidelity data is because we care about the end user. We're not chasing money. We have a good product, but a good engineer knows as soon as a product goes out the door you can make it better."
Denison said he looks forward to working with Ridgeline again.
"This project was a little outside the box for me," he said. "It was a good way to exercise some of my other expertise that I don't use daily during my regular job."
It's also a good way for staff like Denison to share their expertise with small businesses.
"We have advanced and unique capability at Sandia and it's nice to be able to find ways to benefit the community and perform the work I love to do for people who benefit the most from it."
Aperi Computational Mechanics Consulting
NMSBA's impact is not only limited to physical products. In 2024, the NMSBA program and Sandia were also able to help a young software engineering company make a big impact. Aperi Computational Mechanics Consulting was founded in 2023 by Megan Ford to make engineering simulation cheaper.
Some of its applications include modeling the movement of underground soil such as nuclear waste storage tunnels or landslides and predicting their long-term stability.
"There is a need to understand collapse in tunnels that occurs over many years, but it's hard to get test data of that," said Aperi Chief Strategy Officer Kurtis Ford.
Aperi aims to make those simulations quicker and less expensive. That is where Sandia and the NMSBA came in.
"At Sandia, we have a bunch of resources that have been developed over many years for the mission-related work," said Alan Williams, the Sandia computer science engineer who collaborated on the project. "We have similar applications and code libraries that provide the data structures and algorithms that allow them to do their calculations at a much faster pace."
Making calculations faster
Williams said it has to do with the ability to process simulations on a graphics processing unit, or GPU, instead of a central processing unit, or CPU.
"It's like the graphics processor on a computer; nearly every computer has one or more CPUs that do set value calculations like arithmetic," he said. "But displaying pixels and rendering colors on your screen is best handled by a GPU, which is very fast and highly parallel. It can render millions of pixels and update them many times per second. What we can do with our simulation libraries is use the GPUs' power to do our engineering calculations super-fast. That is what Aperi was looking for."
Aperi has been able to do its simulations 150 times faster.
"That resource and expertise is not readily available to businesses like ours," Ford said. "Without help from Sandia, it would have cost us $2 million to $3 million and would have taken a couple of years because we would have had to learn all the codes and libraries on our own. With Sandia, we knew what we needed, reached out to the place that has the expertise, and got it done quickly."
Mutual Benefit
The NMSBA partnership has also brought something to Sandia.
Williams said the code libraries that Aperi used were still being built.
"What we did with the NMSBA grant is build some enhancements and developments that are specific for Aperi applications that also helped improve capabilities for internal Sandia applications," he said. "It was a pooling of resources that turned out to be mutually beneficial."
Williams said these improvements have also helped Sandia make better use of El Capitan, currently the world's fastest computer, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Aperi meanwhile, continues to grow. Ford said the NMSBA program work proved to be the company's first big win, helping it earn three Small Business Innovation Research grants and the NMSBA Honorable Speaker Ben Lujan Award for Small Business Excellence.
The company is now working on detailed models of collapsing materials such as foam used in helmets and cars. They also hope to carry on the relationship with Sandia.
"It's been a really positive experience," Williams said. "It has been a more tangible benefit to see how you've helped a small business. You can feel their excitement when their code speeds up or does something new, so it's been exciting and rewarding."
About the NMSBA program
The NMSBA program started at Sandia in 2000 in response to the State of New Mexico Partnership with Small Business Tax Credit Act. The act is designed as a rural economic development program that allows up to $40,000 in annual assistance to companies located outside of Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties. Companies within Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties are still eligible but at a lower rate of $20,000 since they are in an urban area.
Since its inception, the NMSBA program has provided more than $89.8 million in assistance to 3,410 companies in all 33 counties.
