Civil suit alleges Gaetz, Greenberg trafficked women for sex

Two women have filed a federal civil lawsuit in Florida accusing former Representative Matt Gaetz, convicted ex-tax collector Joel Greenberg, and former GOP member Christopher Dorworth of sex trafficking. The complaint alleges that from 2017 to 2019, the defendants recruited young women with no stable income, supplied them with drugs, and paid for sexual encounters. Gaetz denies the claims, stating that much of the conduct alleged is false and that he looks forward to depositions. The lawsuit builds on findings from a bipartisan House Ethics Committee investigation that led to Gaetz's resignation from Congress in 2024.

Mixed Results at US-Mexico Border After Expiration of Title 42

Some US cities along the southern border have reported receiving fewer-than-expected migrant arrivals since the expiration of the US border restriction policy known as Title 42. The policy’s expiration is due to the declared end of the national public health emergency around Covid-19. US authorities will now revert to Title 8, a decades-old protocol for asylum seekers which could carry lengthier processing times and more severe consequences for those crossing unlawfully. The Biden administration was dealt a significant stumbling block when the state of Florida sued to halt a key part of its plan to manage the anticipated border crossings.
