U.S. charges Super Micro executives in Nvidia chip export scheme to China

U.S. prosecutors charged three associates of an unnamed U.S. server maker with diverting Nvidia-powered servers to China in violation of export-control laws, using fake paperwork and a Southeast Asian middleman.

DOJ Expands Indictment in Minnesota Anti-ICE Church Protest

The Justice Department has indicted 30 more defendants tied to the January anti-ICE protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, bringing the total charged in the case to at least 39 people including nine already named, among them Don Lemon. The new arrests come amid ongoing controversy over immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. Lemon had previously been charged and later indicted with eight others on conspiracy against the rights of religious freedom and interfering with worship, after a magistrate had questioned probable cause for some arrests. Court filings also note a civil-rights-related motion by Orlando Sonza (now working with Harmeet Dhillon) and a church-member lawsuit alleging the service disruption from the protest.

BAC dispute shakes up Gaudreau murder case

Defense argues new BAC findings show Sean Higgins’s blood-alcohol content was .075 (plasma-tested) rather than the .087 claimed by prosecutors, potentially affecting the grand-jury indictment in the 2024 fatal crash that killed NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother. Prosecutors will review the evidence, with a possible new indictment if they concede the discrepancy, and Higgins faces court updates on April 14 amid ongoing plea talks.

Atlantic Chase Ends in Indictment of Tanker Captain

The United States indicted the captain of the tanker Marinera (formerly Bella 1) after a weekslong Atlantic chase for attempting to reach Venezuela and evading a Coast Guard boarding. The ship, which had renamed itself, displayed a Russian flag and was linked to Iranian oil sanctions-evasion activity before U.S. forces seized it near the U.K. on Jan. 7, part of a broader crackdown on Venezuela’s oil trade. The captain, Avtandil Kalandadze, faces two federal charges as the crew were detained; a UK judicial challenge by his wife was unsuccessful and officials did not immediately comment.
