New York (CNN) — The Securities and Exchange Commission fined JPMorgan Chase $4 million for mistakenly deleting 47 million emails, many of which the regulator was trying to access as part of multiple probes.The contents of some of the emails, which could not be recovered since they were permanently deleted, were requested in subpoenas for at least a dozen civil securities-related regulatory investigations, the SEC said in an administrative order published on Thursday.The emails from January to April 2018 were deleted in 2019 from 8,700 inboxes belonging to as many as 7,500 employees in the retail banking division of the nation’s largest bank.Miscommunications between the bank’s corporate compliance technology division and an outside vendor tasked with archiving and deleting communications dating back to the 1970s and 1980s led to the erroneous deletion of the 2018 emails, JPMorgan (JPM) claimed, according to the order.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:09:01 GMT

By MARK SHERMAN (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a Republican-led challenge to a Biden administration policy that prioritizes the deportation of immigrants who are deemed to pose the greatest risk to public safety or were picked up at the border. The justices voted 8-1 to allow the long-blocked policy to take effect, recognizing there is not enough money or manpower to deport all 11 million or so people who are in the United States illegally.The case was one of two immigration cases decided Friday, the other upholding a section of federal law used to prosecute people who encourage illegal immigration.. In the deportation case, Louisiana and Texas had argued that federal immigration law requires authorities to detain and expel those in the U.S. illegally even if they pose little or no risk.But the court held that the states lacked the legal standing, or right to sue, in the first place.Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in his opinion for the ...

Supreme Court ruling complicates Navajo Nation’s fight for more water

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:09:01 GMT

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — On some parts of the Navajo Nation, where roughly a third of the people lack reliable access to clean water, people have to drive for miles on red dirt roads to lug water home. Others rely on unregulated wells or water delivery trucks.Already facing some of the most severe water scarcity in the drought-stricken Southwest, the tribe now has to deal with a Supreme Court ruling this week that will make securing water even harder for the 170,000 enrolled tribal members who live on its reservation.“I know the battle and the strategy moving ahead is going to be a lot more difficult,” Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren told The Associated Press.The tribe argued that the “permanent home” promised in treaties the U.S. government signed more than 150 years ago includes a right to some of the water crossing the reservation. The question before the court was whether the federal government had to quantify the tribe’s water needs and come up with a plan to meet them.Two deca...
