Attorney General Miyares Leads Multistate Effort Defending Religious Liberty
Attorney General Jason Miyares today announced that Virginia is leading a 21-state coalition in filing an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit defending the constitutional right of religious organizations to determine their own missions and employment practices without interference from secular courts.
At issue is a Maryland law prohibiting employment discrimination,which includes an exemption for religious organizations. The Maryland Supreme Court recently narrowed this exemption, holding that it applies only to employees who "directly further" a religious organization's "core mission." That interpretation forces secular courts--not churches, synagogues, mosques, or temples themselves--to decide what a faith's "core mission" is and which employees count as essential to it.
"The First Amendment guarantees every faith the right to define its mission and hire accordingly. Maryland's scheme forces courts into theological judgments they are ill-equipped to make, and that intrusion threatens the religious liberty of every Virginian and every American," said Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares. "This is bigger than one denomination or one state. If Maryland's interpretation stands, every religious organization across the country is at risk of having its faith redefined by a secular court. That is exactly what the First Amendment was written to prevent."
The case arose when the General Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists and Adventist Risk Management, Inc. challenged Maryland's restrictive interpretation. The organizations require all employees to be members of the Church in good standing, reflecting their belief that every employee plays a role in advancing their religious mission. Under Maryland's new rule, however, that practice is threatened by judges second-guessing which employees are "close enough" to the church's mission.
The amicus brief argues that this intrusion violates the Religion Clauses of the First Amendment, which together safeguard the autonomy of religious organizations. The Free Exercise Clause protects the right of religious groups to shape their own faith and mission, while the Establishment Clause bars government from inserting itself into ecclesiastical matters. The brief stresses that even the threat of litigation can chill religious exercise by pressuring organizations to make decisions based on legal risk instead of religious conviction.
Attorney General Miyares was joined by the attorneys general of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia in filing the brief.

Drummond seeks proposals for legal action against Temu over security, privacy concerns
Attorney General Gentner Drummond has issued a request for proposals for outside counsel to investigate and pursue legal action against the Chinese e-commerce company Temu amid concerns of consumer protection violations.
Temu is a popular mobile app and website that offers low-cost goods to consumers. The company is accused of deceiving consumers by unlawfully collecting data and providingthat data to the Communist Chinese government as well as engaging in other deceitful practices. Security and privacy concerns and the presence of malware led Apple and Google to suspend the Temu app.
"I will not allow Temu or any other company to abuse and exploit Oklahoma consumers," Drummond said. "My office will hold Temu accountable and work to ensure Oklahomans have a safe online marketplace."
Temu is owned by PDD Holdings Inc., commonly known as Pinduodo Inc. Proposals for an investigation and legal action are due Oct. 3. Drummond's office will evaluate proposals and contract with the most economical and most competent law firm.

Thornton eye care clinic to pay $250,000 over illegal Medicaid billing in settlement with Attorney General Phil Weiser

Sept. 16, 2025 (DENVER) - Attorney General Phil Weiser today announced a settlement with Vista Eye Care, a Thornton-based eye clinic, to resolve allegations that the clinic illegally billed the state's Medicaid program for thousands of corrective lenses for children and young adults. The clinic will pay a fine totaling $250,000 under the agreement.
"We all pay thecosts of Medicaid fraud as taxpayers, but the people who are hurt most by Medicaid fraud are the Coloradans who lean on the program to pay for things like prescription lenses for their kids," said Attorney General Weiser. "In this case, the defendants cooperated throughout the investigation and reached a settlement that will ensure the state is not harmed financially. I will continue to hold accountable any providers that fail to follow Colorado's Medicaid laws."
Medicaid provides eligible Coloradans and their dependents with health care coverage, including vision coverage for children and young adults under the age of 20. Vision benefits include one pair of frames and two lenses. This includes lower-cost spherical lenses, which are for people with relatively lower prescriptions, and more expensive aspherical lenses, which are prescribed for those with higher prescriptions.
The investigation by the Medicaid Fraud Abuse and Neglect Unit within the Colorado Attorney General's Office found that, from 2019-2025, Vista Eye Care billed the state for two sets of lenses for nearly 3,000 claims but provided only one set to patients. While the clinic did provide aspherical lenses for children, it also billed the state for unnecessary spherical lenses that were never created.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Vista will pay the state $100,000 immediately and then follow up with two $75,000 payments on the first and second anniversaries of the agreement.
Read a copy of the settlement agreement (PDF).
The Colorado Medicaid Fraud Abuse and Neglect Unit receives 75% of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a grant award totaling $3,858,544 for federal fiscal year 2024. The remaining 25%, totaling $1,286,181, is funded by the state of Colorado for the federal fiscal year.
Those who have knowledge of or suspect Medicaid fraud are encouraged to file a complaint with the attorney general at StopFraudColorado.gov.

September 16, 2025
NEW YORK - New York Attorney General Letitia James, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Acting Commissioner Ahmed Tigani today announced a new pilot program to support struggling Housing Development Fund Corporation (HDFC) cooperatives in New York City and ensure they can continueto offer safe, affordable homeownership opportunities for low-income New Yorkers. The pilot program -- called the HDFC Cooperative Technical Assistance Program (CTAP) and backed by settlement funds from the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) -- will provide HDFC co-ops in New York City with targeted technical assistance from the Urban Homesteading Assistance Board, Inc. (UHAB) to help improve their financial, operational, and physical health.
"As New York City faces a housing crisis, we must do everything we can to preserve affordable housing and homeownership opportunities," said Attorney General James. "This pilot program will help HDFC co-ops continue to provide safe, sustainable, and affordable paths to homeownership for low-income New Yorkers. I am grateful to Mayor Adams, HPD, and UHAB for their partnership in bringing this new program to life."
"Our administration works every day to make New York City the best place to raise a family, including by helping more New Yorkers buy and keep homes here in the five boroughs. With this new program, we'll double down on those efforts, bolstering a critical part of our city's housing stock and helping more families find an affordable place to live," said Mayor Eric Adams. "Our thanks to Attorney General James for helping launch this program and for her steadfast support for working-class New Yorkers. Whether it's shattering affordable housing records year after year, passing the first citywide zoning reform in six decades, or finding creative ways to build more family-friendly neighborhoods, there is simply no other way to say it: we are the most pro-housing administration in New York City history."
"A severely aged housing stock, an increasingly complex compliance landscape, skyrocketing insurance and utility costs, and the economic ripple effects of the pandemic on low-income New Yorkers have made the operations of affordable co-ops more and more challenging," said Margy Brown, Executive Director at UHAB. "UHAB is grateful to see the Attorney General's and HPD's generous investment in skilled technical assistance to support HDFCs' pathway to long term stability."
HDFC co-ops are a critical part of New York City's affordable housing landscape and provide one of the most reliable paths to homeownership for low- to moderate-income New Yorkers. While most HDFC co-ops are financially stable and demonstrate the positive, multigenerational impact of affordable homeownership, some are struggling to manage finances and maintenance needs. A recent review of the more than 1,000 HDFC co-ops in HPD's portfolio found that a high number of these buildings are at high risk and could benefit from assistance. These issues often point to a need for structural support for co-ops that could include governance issues, shareholder engagement, and legal matters impacting the co-op's ability to sell units. CTAP will help directly address these challenges and strengthen selected co-ops.
During the two-year program period, HPD will work closely with UHAB to identify a priority list of at-risk HDFC co-ops that would benefit from external support. Together with HPD, UHAB will assess each HDFC co-op's governance structure, as well as financial and physical needs to create an actionable stabilization plan tailored to the specific co-op and help implement the plan. Participating co-ops will also have access to a low-interest flexible financing fund offered by HPD and Enterprise Community Partners. HPD will assist approximately 20-30 HDFC co-ops through the pilot program to address various common issues, including help to:
* Address Municipal Arrears : Enable the co-op to pay off any debt owed -- such as bills that are past due to the New York City Department of Finance, New York City Department of Environmental Protection, and Con Edison -- through a sustainable repayment plan or refinancing the arrears with a below-market loan product.
* Stabilize Finances : Take steps to improve the co-op's financial health by increasing or restructuring maintenance fees, refinancing debt, identifying unnecessary expenses, hiring third-party property management companies, and implementing sustainable cost-saving measures.
* Renovate Vacant Units : Access below-market financing to renovate vacant units so they can be sold to prospective shareholders.
* Establish Good Governance Practices : Aid the co-op in resolving governance issues by establishing or updating rules and regulations -- or engaging a monitor, as needed, to ensure boards and shareholders understand their respective responsibilities.
* Handle Estate and Probate Issues : Engage attorneys to help the co-op's shareholders and boards with estate planning and probate issues.
* Remove Housing Violations : Guide the co-op in addressing and removing outstanding building violations that carry penalties or prevent the co-op from moving forward with rehabilitation projects.
This pilot program is funded by OAG using funds from the 2012 National Mortgage Settlement -- which secured $25 billion from five of the nation's largest mortgage services -- and the 2013 Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Working Group -- which secured a $13 billion settlement from JPMorgan Chase for the company's role in the mortgage crisis.

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania, Sept. 16 -- Pennsylvania Attorney General David W. Sunday issued the following news:

AG Sunday: 'Summer Suppression' Operation Aimed at Reducing Violence, Drug Dealing in McKeesport Nets More than a Dozen Arrests, Seizures of Numerous Firearms
*
ALLEGHENY COUNTY -- Attorney General Dave Sunday, along with Allegheny County law enforcement leaders, announced nearly 20 arrests and the seizures of 17 firearms, as part of the "Summer Suppression" initiative, aimed at reducing drug dealing and illegal firearms in the McKeesport area.
Investigators also seized about$40,000 worth of cocaine, along with quantities of heroin, fentanyl, and marijuana during the months-long, collaborative enforcement effort.
Among those charged are: Rontay Strothers, Michael Hunter, Tara Fender, Bailey Loveday, Brandon Dellapenna, Franklin Gribschaw, Jaquan Smith, Marcel Freeman, Oji Pride, Tavion Hurt, Trevon McCrary, Andre Fuller, Chance McIver, Derrick Blake, Edward Dudley, John Hopper, Marsean Scott, and Noah Hamlin.
The operation was a joint effort between the Office of Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigations and the Allegheny County Gun Violence Task Force, the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office, Allegheny County Sheriff's Office, McKeesport Police Department, Pa. Department of Corrections Parole Division, and other partners.
"The McKeesport community has experienced drug trafficking and illegal possession of firearms -- and violence that results from those elements -- so we collaborated with partners to make a significant impact on reducing that criminal conduct," Attorney General Sunday said. "This was the perfect opportunity for our Allegheny County-based Gun Violence Task Force to join forces with local law enforcement to remove deadly firearms from neighborhoods and hold accountable the dangerous individuals toting them."
Allegheny County Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus said:
"One of the reasons why an operation like this is successful is due to the working relationships and the common goal that all of law enforcement, including Attorney General Sunday, shares to keep our residents safe. My office is committed to that mission each day and when needed and requested, we will absolutely provide the resources necessary to ensure that these types of initiatives accomplish the objective of a safer community to live, work and raise a family."
McKeesport Police Chief Josh Alfer said:
"Our community, from these events, reap benefits of safer streets for our kids to play, without having to worry about having any act of violence."
The summer initiative kicked off around Memorial Day, and concluded with a final arrest sweep last week. In all, 18 people are facing charges related to illegal possession of firearms and/or drug trafficking.
The seized guns range from handguns to AR-15 assault rifles. Ammunition was recovered as well.
Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala's office will prosecute the cases.
The following agencies participated in this initiative: Allegheny District Attorney's Narcotics Enforcement Team, McKeesport Police Department, the Allegheny County Sheriff's Department, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Clairton Police Department, Jefferson Hills Department, West Mifflin Police Department, the U.S. Marshals Service and Pennsylvania State Probation and Parole.
Criminal charges, and any discussion thereof, are merely allegations and all defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

BOSTON, Massachusetts, Sept. 16 -- Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell issued the following news release:

AG Campbell Supports D.C.'s Challenge To Trump National Guard Takeover
*
Boston -- Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell filed an amicus brief in support of D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb's lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration's unlawful deployment of National Guard troops to the District of Columbia. AG Campbell joined a coalition of 22 attorneys general in asserting that the deployment of National Guard troops without the consent of D.C.'smayor is unlawful, unconstitutional, and undemocratic.
"I am proud to stand with my colleagues in urging the court to reject this illegal National Guard deployment that creates unnecessary fear, undermines established trust between residents and local law enforcement, and conjures up the horrors of a police state where law enforcement patrols and controls rather than protects its people," said AG Campbell.
Domestic use of the military has long been recognized as antithetical to American values. While California and D.C. are the first places subjected to unlawful federalized deployments of the National Guard, President Trump has made clear that this is the beginning -- not the end -- of the military occupation of American cities. In the brief, AG Campbell and the coalition urge the District Court for the District of Columbia to grant a preliminary injunction and make clear that the Constitution prohibits the use of soldiers as local law enforcement.
California was the first state to undergo President Trump's deployment of the National Guard without its Governor's consent. The troops' presence has stoked fear among Californians, causing the public to stay home, fail to report for work, and avoid areas where the military is deployed. The use of federalized National Guard troops has damaged trust between local law enforcement and the community, as troops have been tasked with civilian law enforcement and were widely present during immigration raids in the first few weeks of their deployment.
At the same time, these troops were diverted away from essential state functions, like fighting wildfires. In June 2025, the majority of California's Guard's specialized fire crews were diverted from its wildfire-fighting task force in the midst of peak fire season and instead deployed into the streets of Los Angeles.
With California's recent experience as a lesson, AG Campbell and the coalition argue that:
* Using the military for local law enforcement, as the President has done in DC, upsets the careful balance between civilian and military authority set forth in the Constitution.
* The federalized deployment of National Guard troops infringes on the police powers reserved to States and localities. The Constitution establishes a federal government of limited, enumerated powers -- general police power is not among them.
* National Guard troops are not prepared to engage in civilian law enforcement, lacking training in criminal procedure, civil rights, criminal investigation, and de-escalation. This introduces complications and dangers to both the public and the troops engaging with them.
* States need the National Guard to be available for vital natural disaster and security functions.
AG Campbell joins the attorneys general of California, Maryland, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawai`i, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin in filing the brief.
