Michigan AG Nessel Claims Exxon Mobil, Other Oil Companies Undermined Clean Energy

Nessel’s office allegedly identified several ways in which oil industry stakeholders worked together to inhibit competition. In a press release, Nessel said that the defendants used tactics that included using patent manipulation to hinder market competitors; suppressing information concerning the true costs of fossil fuel usage; infiltrating non-profit watchdogs and public regulators; and using trade associations to coordinate market-wide efforts to “divert capital expenditures away from renewable energy.”


Immigrant Groups Sue After Trump Admin. Cancels TPS for Ethiopian Refugees

The conflict, which centers on the Tigray region, has left thousands of people dead and millions displaced. Nevertheless, the Department of Homeland Security terminated TPS with just 60 days’ notice. This decision, attorneys say, was motivated by an unconstitutional animus against non-white immigrants.
