(CNSNews.com) – Federal lawyers drew a sharp rebuke for being "intentionally deceptive" during a controversial amnesty case before U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen in Brownsville, Texas, who ordered them and many more U.S. Justice Department attorneys to attend annual ethics classes.
"The Department of Justice has now admitted making statements that clearly did not match the facts," Hanen said in an order issued last week. "It has admitted that the lawyers who made these statements had knowledge of the truth when they made these misstatements."
BOSTON – The University of Massachusetts became the first major public university system in America to completely divest fossil fuel-related investments, a decision that was received with glee by environmental activists on campus.
"WE WON!!!!!" proudly declared a Facebook post from the driving force behind the movement urging the action, Divest UMass, immediately after the vote that charted the course. The activists crowed that decision "was a direct result of the immense power and support of student and community organizing."
