An order from President Donald Trump could impact a consent decree made between the Louisville Metro Police Department and the Department of Justice. It comes from a new memo acting Associate Attorney General Chad Mizelle sent out,

A federal judge expressed skepticism about the Justice Department’s proposed police consent decree with Louisville.

The Department of Justice sent a memo to the interim director of the civil rights division, ordering a freeze to all ongoing litigation and a stop to any new cases.

The fate of Louisville's consent decree is in the balance once again. President Donald Trump's administration is putting a halt on federal agreements that require reforms in police departments found to have a pattern of misconduct.

A Kentucky man who shot at Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg when he was a candidate in 2022 was sentenced Friday to 17 years and 6 months in federal prison after a tense sentencing hearing where Greenberg spoke of the harm the attack has caused.

An Inspector General investigation into the case claims false statements were included in the felony arrest warrant and criminal complaint against Omari Cryer.

The union claims the reform-oversight deal negotiated by the feds and city violates a collective bargaining agreement. The ACLU intervenes.

An internal memo directed attorneys to notify leadership of consent decrees that were finalized within the last 90 days. Louisville's was finalized in that time.

The directives halt ongoing civil rights cases and could jeopardize police reform agreements finalized in recent months in Minneapolis and Louisville.

The previous administration’s Department of Justice and Louisville signed the agreement last month, but it has not yet been approved by a federal judge.
