Attorney General Jones Awards More Than $800,000 for Families Following Historic Victory in Fair Housing Case
Attorney General Jones announced today that after securing a historic victory in a fair housing case involving racial discrimination, his office has successfully collected and returned more than $800,000 to the Virginians impacted by the discriminatory practices. On Wednesday, September 2, 2026, Attorney General Jay Jones presented the Mills and Smith familiestheir payouts of more than $400,000, which is the largest payout to individual complainants in the history of the Virginia Fair Housing Office and Office of the Attorney General.
The case concluded in February 2025 when a jury found that the defendant and owner of Lazy Cove Campground, Regina Turner, discriminated against two families by evicting them upon learning that one of the campers was Black. After failing to comply with multiple court orders and refusing to pay the damages, the Office of the Attorney General initiated special auction proceedings for Ms. Turner's properties in order to obtain the funding for the court-ordered damages. On August 12, 2026, Regina Turner was also ordered to serve 30 days in jail at a contempt hearing where she was escorted out of the courthouse in handcuffs for failing to comply with the orders.
"Every Virginian deserves access to safe and affordable housing, and they deserve to be treated fairly and with dignity. This case and the egregious discriminatory actions endured by the Mills and Smith families are heart wrenching and unacceptable," said Attorney General Jones. "I am proud to bring much overdue and deserved relief, and I want to thank the public servants in both the Virginia Fair Housing Office and the Office of the Attorney General whose dedication and tenacity brought this precedent-setting conclusion into reality after six arduous years."
"These successful outcomes underscore the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation's commitment to enforcing fair housing protections and holding accountable those who engage in housing discrimination in Virginia," said Liz Hayes, Director of the Virginia Fair Housing Office. "Most importantly, these cases demonstrate that individuals who experience discrimination can seek justice and meaningful remedies. The substantial awards secured for these families make clear that housing discrimination has serious consequences and that every Virginian deserves a fair and equal opportunity to access housing."
The 18-acres of waterfront on a peninsula in Smith Mountain Lake, which was foreclosed on to collect on the jury's verdict, was sold for $1,045,000.00. Each family received $417,287.67, which is the full amount, with interest, that a jury awarded them at the end of the trial.

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Sept. 3 -- Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown issued the following news release on Sept. 2, 2026:

Attorney General Brown Opposes Trump Administration's Rapid and Drastic Overhaul of Nuclear Energy Regulation
Attorney General Anthony G. Brown took action to oppose two U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposals, which are part of a wholesale, rapid revision of its long-standing regulations. In comments submitted to the NRC, Attorney General Brown and a coalition of attorneys general argue that the monumental changes the NRC has proposed in such a shortperiod of time threaten to put public health and safety at risk.
Attorney General Brown and the coalition filed comments opposing two proposed NRC rule changes. The first includes sweeping changes to radiation safety standards and oversight with serious impacts on state programs and worker and public safety. The proposal would increase the levels of radiation to which workers and the public could legally be exposed and would reduce monitoring and reporting requirements. The NRC's proposal would also eliminate the science-backed As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) standard for radiation protection. The NRC has not provided a scientific basis for abandoning this internationally recognized, long-standing protection.
In their comment letter, the attorneys general argue that the NRC failed to support its proposals with evidence, failed to propose or consider alternative approaches to achieve its stated goals, and failed to allow the public or the states adequate time to comprehend and meaningfully review the unprecedented volume of proposed regulatory changes NRC has introduced this year.
Attorney General Brown also joined the coalition in submitting comments opposing a second NRC proposal that could allow large parts of nuclear power plants to be built without environmental review or community engagement in the decision-making process.
The attorneys general argue that several other provisions in the proposed rule create unwarranted risks to public safety and amount to the NRC abdicating its oversight role and safety mandate.
The coalition notes that the proposed changes have the potential to negatively impact communities with preexisting environmental justice concerns. The attorneys general assert that, if finalized, the proposed rule would violate the Administrative Procedure Act and fail to comply with the Atomic Energy Act and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Last month, Attorney General Brown joined a coalition of attorneys general in submitting a comment letter opposing an NRC proposal to revise its NEPA regulations. That proposal would unlawfully fast-track nuclear power projects by ignoring foreseeable environmental impacts and limit public participation. The attorneys general argued that, if finalized, that proposed rule would also violate the Administrative Procedure Act and fail to comply with NEPA.
Joining Attorney General Brown in submitting today's comment letters are the attorneys general of California, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.

HARTFORD, Connecticut, Sept. 3 -- Connecticut Attorney General William Tong issued the following news release:

Attorney General Tong Warns Connecticut Consumers Against Unregulated Overseas Decentraliized Finance (Defi) Crypto Exchanges
*
Press Releases
(Hartford, CT) -Attorney General William Tong today issued a comprehensive consumer alert warning Connecticut residents about the significant financial and security risks associated with unregulated, offshore "decentralized finance" (DeFi) cryptocurrency exchanges. Operating outside of state and federal regulatory frameworks, these platforms,including GMX, Gains Network, dYdX, Aevo, Drift Protocol, Vertex Protocol, and Hyperliquid, bypass critical consumer protections and expose retail investors to substantial financial losses, predatory leverage, and serious security risks.
"These platforms are built to lure investors in with promises of easy access and bigger returns. What they don't advertise is that if something goes wrong, investors will be stranded with little to no recourse, while the platforms walk away with the profits. This isn't innovation, it's exploitation. Do research before handing over any money and know what protections are in place if things go wrong," said Attorney General Tong.
"Unregulated offshore crypto platforms pose serious financial as well as other hidden risks to Connecticut consumers" said Connecticut Banking Commissioner Jorge Perez. "These entities operate outside the safeguards that legitimate regulated financial institutions are required to follow, leaving investors dangerously exposed without protection. Decentralized or not, if a platform is evading U.S. oversight, consumers should assume they have no protections when something goes wrong. Before engaging with any crypto service, verify that it is properly registered and regulated. A few minutes of due diligence can prevent devastating financial losses."
The Office of the Attorney General is aware of at least one Connecticut consumer who was deceived into depositing $200,000 into an unregulated DeFi cryptocurrency exchange by a person who claimed to know them. The consumer is now unable to recover the funds.
DeFi platforms market themselves as open-access financial services governed by automated software and smart contracts, rather than traditional intermediaries. However, many of the largest DeFi platforms are centralized corporate operations with opaque management, often registered in offshore locations such as Singapore and the Cayman Islands to evade oversight. Unlike traditional banks and registered U.S. exchanges, which verify customer identities through Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, offshore platforms only require a digital crypto wallet, allowing users to trade anonymously. This lack of oversight creates opportunities for illicit activity, including money laundering, evasion of sanctions, and the movement of funds by state-backed entities such as North Korean hackers.
Many unregulated offshore DeFi exchanges use practices that expose investors to significant risks including:
* Bypassing U.S. Laws with Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
These platforms claim to prohibit U.S. users to avoid domestic enforcement. However, those restrictions are easily bypassed by using virtual private networks (VPNs) and public APIs. U.S. residents are among the largest portion of users on several major offshore exchanges. For example, approximately 22.6% of traffic to Hyperliquid, the world's largest perpetual contracts exchange, originates from the U.S.
* Predatory, High-Risk Leverage Prohibited in the U.S.
Offshore platforms entice customers with highly leveraged products that are not available to retail investors in U.S. While U.S. regulated platforms restrict leverage limits, many offshore platforms allow leverage of 50x, 100x, or even up to 250x. At those levels, even a small market fluctuation can wipe out one's entire investment.
* Synthetic Assets & Discretionary Market Interventions
Many platforms offer complex "perpetual contracts" tied to foreign currencies, global commodities, and U.S. listed companies, such as Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, and SpaceX. Investors are often misled to believing they are purchasing actual shares in these companies when they are only placing leveraged bets on synthetic prices. Despite marketing themselves as "decentralized," are controlled by centralized owners who can change prices, remove assets from trading, and unilaterally paused trading and customer withdrawals.
Global financial watchdogs are increasingly taking action against unregulated offshore cryptocurrency exchange platforms. In May 2026, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a severe public warning designating Hyperliquid and its foundation as unauthorized entities. Additionally, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) placed Hyperliquid on its official Investor Alert List, designating it as one of the first "DeFi" protocols flagged globally for unauthorized derivatives activities.
Connecticut has strengthened protections for consumers in the digital asset marketplace, including new safeguards governing cryptocurrency ATMs. Even with those protections, consumers should exercise caution as cryptocurrency and decentralized trading transactions are generally irreversible.
Tips to protect yourself from DeFi cryptocurrency scams:
* Carefully research the platform and verify whether it is subject to U.S. regulatory oversight before sending any money.
* Keep records of all transactions and communications.
* Beware of scams from "recovery specialists" or individuals posing as attorneys who promise to retrieve lost funds for a fee.
If you suspect you have been targeted by an unregulated overseas exchange and are a victim of a scam, report it immediately to the Office of the Attorney General here.

ALBANY, New York, Sept. 3 -- New York Attorney General Letitia James issued the following news release:

Attorney General James Announces Arrest of Rochester Nursing Home Employee for Assaulting Resident

September 3, 2026
NEW YORK - New York Attorney General Letitia James today announced the arrest and arraignment of C'Vanna Gibson, 24, of Rochester, a former Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at Kirkhaven, a nursing home in Rochester, for assaulting an elderly resident in the facility on December 11, 2025. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General's (OAG) Medicaid FraudControl Unit (MFCU) found that Gibson allegedly attacked the resident during a visit to his room, grabbing his arm and pushing him into the bed, which caused a large skin tear, bleeding, and bruising. Gibson also allegedly grabbed and twisted the resident's genitals and threw liquid in his face. Gibson was arrested and arraigned today on felony and misdemeanor charges in Rochester City Court.
"Every New Yorker living in a nursing home deserves safe and compassionate care," said Attorney General James. "C'Vanna Gibson's alleged assault of a vulnerable nursing home resident is despicable. My office has launched investigations across the state to stop abuse in nursing homes, and we will continue to make sure all those responsible for endangering vulnerable seniors face justice."
Gibson allegedly assaulted the resident during a visit to his room at approximately 3:30 a.m. on December 11. After the assault, the resident was taken to the hospital, where he reported the incident to the Rochester Police Department (RPD). The RPD conducted an initial investigation into the allegations and then referred the case to OAG.
Gibson was charged today with Endangering the Welfare of an Incompetent or Physically Disabled Person in the First Degree, a felony, and Wilful Violation of Health Laws, a misdemeanor. She was arraigned before Rochester City Court Judge Melissa Barrett and pleaded not guilty. If convicted of the top charge, she faces a maximum sentence of one and one-third to four years in prison.
The charges against the defendant are merely allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
Attorney General James thanks RPD for their valuable assistance in this investigation.
The case was investigated by Detectives Ahd Almansoob and Stephen Sachman under the supervision of Detective Supervisor Stacey DiSanto with the assistance of Medical Analyst Jennifer Cronkhite. The case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant Attorney Elizabeth Buckley under the supervision of Regional Director William Gargan of MFCU. MFCU is led by Deputy Attorney General Amy Held and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Thomas O'Hanlon. MFCU is a part of the Division for Criminal Justice, which is led by Chief Deputy Attorney General for Criminal Justice Jose Maldonado and overseen by First Deputy Attorney General Meghan Faux.
MFCU defends the public by addressing Medicaid provider fraud and protecting nursing home residents from abuse and neglect. If an individual believes they have information about Medicaid provider fraud or about an incident of abuse or neglect of a nursing home resident, they can file a confidential complaint online or call the MFCU hotline at (800) 771-7755. If the situation is an emergency, please call 911.
New York MFCU's total funding for federal fiscal year (FY) 2026 is $70,793,651. Of that total, 75 percent, or $53,095,240, is awarded under a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The remaining 25 percent, totaling $17,698,411 for FY 2026, is funded by New York State. Through MFCU's recoveries by law enforcement actions and civil enforcement, it regularly returns more to the state than it receives in state funding.

LINCOLN, Nebraska, Sept. 3 -- Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers issued the following news release:
* * *
Attorney General Hilgers Secures a Commitment from Everlight Solar to Honest Sales Practices
*
Today, Attorney General Mike Hilgers finalized a settlement with Sunburn Construction, LLC, also known as Everlight Solar.
Everlight, a Wisconsin company, marketed and sold residential solar panels door to door to Nebraska consumers, often through a pattern of misleading statements and sometimes through aggressive sales tactics. These tactics included making false statements to consumersthat installing their solar panels would reduce, or even eliminate, their electric bills. In other instances, Everlight's salesperson represented to consumers without basis that installing its solar panels would increase the value of their property. Other times, Everlight's salesperson would ignore "no solicitation" signs or refuse to leave when consumers said they were not interested and asked them to leave.
"Nebraska is a welcoming place for businesses and having a robust competitive market in all industries is critical," said Attorney General Hilgers. "However, a healthy marketplace cannot tolerate sales tactics to consumers that depend on making knowingly and intentionally false claims about the products being sold. We are pleased to resolve this suit and to protect Nebraskans from unlawful and intrusive sales techniques."
The settlement stops this conduct. Everlight agreed to clean up its sales practices and report its compliance under the agreement to the Attorney General's Office for three years. Everlight has also agreed to make a lump sum payment into the State Settlement Cash Fund of $200,000 to cover the State's investigative costs, attorney fees, and related expenses.

LANSING, Michigan, Sept. 3 -- Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel issued the following news release:

AG Nessel Joins Coalition Challenging Trump Administration's Latest Attack on Youth Healthcare
*
LANSING - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel joined a coalition of 22 states in challenging the Trump administration's attempt to prohibit states from using federal Medicaid funds for transgender care for low-income minors and some young adults. In their lawsuit (PDF), the coalition argues that since the creation of the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) programs inthe 1960s, Congress has always granted states the authority to determine which services would be covered under their Medicaid and CHIP programs, subject only to limits set by statute. The coalition asserts that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are now acting without statutory authority or a reasoned basis to second-guess state Medicaid agencies' reliance on individualized medical treatment decisions made by healthcare providers. Instead, based solely on CMS's unilateral decision-making, the agencies are categorically excluding healthcare services from federal reimbursement only when provided to low-income transgender adolescents.
"Medical decisions should be made by parents, patients, and medical experts - not politicians," said Attorney General Nessel. "We remain committed to protecting the right of Michigan families to make these critical healthcare choices."
In December 2025, HHS proposed a rule categorically prohibiting federal reimbursement for care for transgender Medicaid beneficiaries under age 18 and CHIP beneficiaries under age 19, despite covering the same healthcare treatment when provided to non-transgender youth. HHS received more than 30,000 comments on the proposal. More than 90% of the comments, including comments from Attorney General Nessel and a coalition of state attorneys general, opposed the rule. Despite this strong opposition, the broad medical consensus on the safety and efficacy of transgender youth healthcare, and strong state law guardrails to ensure high-quality care, HHS finalized the rule earlier this month, with an effective date of October 13, 2026.
In their complaint, Attorney General Nessel and the coalition argue that the rule would set a troubling and unlawful precedent that the executive branch can, without congressional authorization, replace individualized judgments made by licensed medical practitioners with a categorical, agency-determined prohibition on reimbursement for healthcare it disfavors. The coalition argues that the rule runs counter to several federal and state laws. They also assert that the rule violates the Administrative Procedure Act and the Spending Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Since the first day of President Trump's second term, the administration has launched relentless attacks on this small and vulnerable population in nearly every aspect of their lives, but especially in healthcare. Attorney General Nessel has challenged unlawful Title X funding conditions and other federal attacks on healthcare. She also secured a court order blocking an unlawful attempt by the Trump administration to pressure healthcare providers into ending healthcare for transgender youth.
Joining Attorney General Attorney General Nessel in filing the lawsuit are the attorneys general of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawai'i, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin, along with the governor of Pennsylvania.
