If you have failed to answer a summons, tickets with open warrants could lead to an arrest and other negative consequences. The Begin Again program allows individuals to resolve these summons warrants in a safe environment inside a local church.

This was a chilling and calculated attack on an innocent man and woman by a defendant with a long history of domestic abuse. I stand with survivors of domestic violence, and we will work to see justice done on their behalf.

Brooklyn man faces up to 12 years for $16 million Coinbase social engineering scheme
A Brooklyn man was sentenced to up to 12 years in prison for orchestrating a $16 million social engineering fraud targeting Coinbase users, according to reporting tracked by The Block's regulation desk. The case is one of the more prominent criminal enforcement actions tied directly to a major exchange's customer base. Separately, Senate Banking Democrats called for open-door policy deliberations rather than back-channel negotiations on digital asset legislation, signaling continued partisan friction over the pace and structure of U.S. crypto rulemaking. Both developments illustrate the twin enforcement and legislative pressures regulators and industry participants are navigating simultaneously.
