Attorney General Gentner Drummond's Human Trafficking Response Unit, in conjunction with several law enforcement partners and Skull Games Solutions, arrested one individual and recovered three potential victims during a trafficking bust Thursday night at a Tulsa motel.
The Cherokee National Marshal Service arrested Dorian Bonilla on complaints of solicitation of prostitution and violationsof the Computer Crimes Act. Three individuals who were recovered during the operation received victims' services.
"We appreciate the collaboration of our law enforcement partners all across Oklahoma to protect victims of human trafficking and to hold predators accountable," Drummond said.
"With every training session and every operation, our fight against trafficking continues to strengthen. We will not stop until human trafficking is driven out of Oklahoma."
Drummond's office and Skull Games led an advanced human trafficking training session in Broken Arrow earlier this week where nine local law enforcement agencies participated.

NEW YORK STATE ANNOUNCES EFFORTS TO BOLSTER MATERNAL MENTAL WELLBEING
More than $18.4 Million Available to Expand HealthySteps, an Early Childhood Mental Health Initiative that Screened 108,000 New Yorkers for Maternal Depression in 2025
Office of Mental Health Awards $350,000 in 'Collaborative Care' Grants to Help OBGYN and Family Medicine Practices Provide Behavioral Health Support to Patients
*
The New York State Office of Mental Health today announced theavailability of more than $18.4 million to expand HealthySteps, a successful early childhood mental health initiative that provides tens of thousands of critical depression screenings for new mothers annually. The agency also announced $350,000 in awards through the Collaborative Care program to help OBGYN and family medicine practices provide behavioral health support to their patients.
"It is critical that we focus on maternal mental health and develop the preventative services and supports for families in our state that address the long-standing inequities in care," Office of Mental Health Commissioner Dr. Ann Sullivan said. "Initiatives like HealthySteps, Collaborative Care, Project TEACH and others are providing often life-saving screenings that are also connecting New Yorkers to both prenatal and postpartum supports. Under Governor Kathy Hochul's leadership, we are increasing prevention services to improve outcomes and eliminating disparities in care."
"I am grateful to Governor Hochul for her leadership in advancing maternal mental health initiatives in New York State that expand access to critical screenings and services," Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald said. "In recognition of Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, we are reminded that every mother deserves compassion, support, and quality care. We remain committed to ensuring that all mothers feel supported, heard, and empowered."
The state Office of Mental Health made available more than $18.4 million to continue expanding HealthySteps, an innovative program integrating behavioral health professionals with pediatric practices to provide early childhood mental and physical health care. The additional funding will provide 38 new awards to the 152 sites now funding, increasing statewide capacity of the program by about 25 percent once all are fully implemented.
HealthySteps pairs behavioral health specialists with pediatricians, who are often the first point-of-contact new caregivers have with the health care system. These specialists then serve as part of the primary care team during well visits, screening children, and parents for a variety of concerns including behavioral health, developmental concerns and social determinants of health and family needs and then linking them to supports.
In 2025 alone, HealthySteps sites completed more than 108,000 screenings for perinatal depression, identifying cases and connecting parents to support when needed. Altogether, these sites conducted more than 500,000 screenings, helping to track food insecurity, housing instability, substance misuse, tobacco use, transportation, utility, and interpersonal safety.
In addition to the funding availability, OMH also awarded seven $50,000 one-time Collaborative Care grants to help OBGYN and family medicine practices implement evidence-based integrated healthcare for their patients and decrease racial disparities. Award recipients by region include:
Hudson Valley
* WMC-NY Inc., in Valhalla
New York City
* Jamaica Hospital in Queens
* Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx
* William F. Ryan Community Health Center, Inc., in Manhattan
Western New York
* Jericho Road Ministries, Inc., in Buffalo
* Neighborhood Health Center of WNY in Buffalo
* Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center in Niagara Falls
This funding will expand the psychiatric collaborative care model at these practices so they can increase perinatal depression and anxiety screenings and integrated treatment -- a recommendation included in the state's first-ever maternal mental health report. Directed by Governor Hochul and released by OMH in November, this report detailed the challenges pregnant and postpartum individuals are facing and made recommendations for improvements statewide.
Previously, Governor Hochul secured a $2.9 million increase to expand Project TEACH, an initiative to assists maternal health providers with screening and treatment of maternal depression and related mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period within their scope of practice. Adopted as part of the FY 2026 State Budget, the expansion has allowed a wider range of front-line practitioners - including doulas, midwives, therapists, WIC staff, home visiting nurses, lactation consultants, caseworkers and others working directly with the perinatal population for consultations with a reproductive psychiatrist or psychologist - to obtain professional training and with support in assessment, and accessing resources.
Every year, an estimated 500,000 - about one in five - mothers in the United States experience perinatal mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy or in the first year postpartum. About 75 percent of these individuals are not diagnosed or treated, which can lead to high-risk pregnancies, poor childhood cognitive development due to substance use, self-harm, or suicide.

Attorney General Brown Announces that No Charges Will Be Filed in the January 17, 2026 Fatal Police-Involved Collision in Howard County
Today, Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced his decision not to seek charges in the Saturday, January 17, 2026 fatal police-involved collision that occurred in Columbia, Howard County, Maryland.
On January 17, 2026, at 1:47 a.m., Police Officer First Class (Pfc.) Brian Maurantonio of the Howard County Police Department (HCPD)was conducting traffic enforcement in an unmarked police vehicle on U.S. Route 29 (Columbia Pike) when a Honda traveling at a high rate of speed passed his location. Using a laser speed detection device, Pfc. Maurantonio determined the vehicle was traveling approximately 84 mph in a posted 55 mph speed zone. The officer entered the roadway in an attempt to catch up to the vehicle.
After entering Rt. 29, Pfc. Maurantonio activated his emergency lights and notified dispatch that the vehicle was failing to stop. Approximately 15 seconds after the initial notification, Pfc. Maurantonio advised dispatch that he was canceling the attempted traffic stop due to the vehicle's high rate of speed. Moments later, the Honda crashed. Pfc. Maurantonio requested additional units and emergency medical services. As he approached the vehicle, Pfc. Maurantonio called out to any occupants but received no response.
The vehicle caught fire. Officers on scene attempted to extinguish the fire but were unsuccessful. Personnel from the Howard County Fire and Rescue Services responded and extinguished the fire. The driver, identified as a juvenile female, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division (IID) began investigating the fatal police-involved collision on Saturday, January 17, 2026, and concluded its investigation on Monday, May 11, 2026. After completing its investigation and evaluating all the available evidence, the Office of the Attorney General has determined that the subject officer did not commit a crime under Maryland law. Accordingly, the Attorney General has declined to prosecute the subject officer in this case.
A copy of the IID's detailed investigative findings and analysis of relevant legal issues can be found in its declination report (https://oag.maryland.gov/News/pages/Attorney-General-Brown-Announces-that-No-Charges-Will-Be-Filed-in-the-January-17,-2026-Fatal-Police-Involved-Collision-in-H.aspx).

SACRAMENTO, California, May 16 -- Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-California, issued the following news release on May 15, 2026:
* * *
NIMBYs be warned: Court orders Huntington Beach to pay up for repeated violations of housing law
What you need to know: A California superior court today ordered the city of Huntington Beach to pay penalties amounting to $160,000 and an additional $50,000 per month beginning in June for the city's failure to comply with state housing law.
*
The city of Huntington Beach was ordered by a Superior Court Judge today to pay financial penalties for its failure to plan for housingfor all people of all income levels as required by state law. The order is the result of state litigation against the city which was filed in 2023. Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have secured multiple rulings against the city in this lawsuit, including an order by the Fourth District court of appeal last year compelling the city to remedy its violations of state housing law.
* * *
Huntington Beach officials are failing their community by wasting time and vast sums of taxpayer dollars to defend clearly unlawful NIMBY policies and fight against affordability. Citizens in this community should be appalled by their city leaders' actions here which will cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties, with more growing each month. No more excuses -- every city must follow state law and do its part to build more housing.
- Governor Gavin Newsom
* * *
"Huntington Beach has obstinately and illegally refused to do its part to address our state's housing crisis, and today, it's paying for it," said Attorney General Bonta. "This civil penalty is a costly lesson for Huntington Beach that drives home the truth we've known all along: No city is above the law. Huntington Beach must stop wasting public funds and avoiding its responsibilities to the public. We expect Huntington Beach to heed the court order and finally step up to serve its residents. At the California Department of Justice, we will continue to do our part to uphold the law and fight for affordable housing for all Californians."
The deadline for Huntington Beach to submit a compliant housing element was October 15, 2021 - making the city more than 4.5 years behind schedule. During this time, the city could have been creating more affordable homes for its residents, but instead spent its time fighting to leave people behind and wasting valuable taxpayers' resources.
Today's decision orders the city to pay $10,000 per month for each month since January 2025, with penalties increasing to $50,000 a month beginning in June 2026 until the city cures its violations of state housing law.
In March 2023, the state sued Huntington Beach for violating state law requiring it to update its housing plan. In May 2024, the trial court agreed with the state that the city had violated the law. In September 2024, the Governor signed a new law, SB 1037 (Weiner), imposing a mandatory minimum penalty of $10,000 per month for jurisdictions that refuse to adopt a compliant housing element on time, and requiring that those penalties escalate to $50,000 per month when a jurisdiction fails to meet a court-ordered deadline to bring their housing element into compliance. The court has ordered Huntington Beach to adopt a compliant housing element by May 28, 2026.
More housing. More accountability.
Governor Newsom championed the creation of the Housing Accountability Unit at HCD to ensure cities and counties fulfill their legal responsibilities to plan and permit their fair share of housing. Since its establishment, the Housing Accountability Unit has supported the development of 13,131 housing units, including more than 3,788 affordable units, through enforcement actions and by working with local jurisdictions to ensure compliance with housing law. In 2024, the Unit was expanded to include a focus on homelessness issues, including compliance with state laws related to homeless housing.
In addition to today's announcement and ongoing work to hold local governments accountable to help their residents and improve affordability, Governor Newsom is creating a structural and foundational model that will have positive impacts for generations to come.
The Governor is streamlining and prioritizing building of new housing, funding new shelters, housing, and supports, holding local governments accountable, addressing mental health and its impact on homelessness through voter-approved Proposition 1, and creating new pathways for those who need it most through updated conservatorship laws and a new CARE court system. California is also addressing encampments statewide to help get people off the streets and into care. All this work is creating positive results.
Last year, as a result of the Governor's strategies to address the housing and homelessness crisis, for the first time in over 15 years, California's unsheltered homelessness decreased by 9.5%. While other states and the nation as a whole continue to see homelessness rising, California is reversing a crisis decades in the making.
