The NAACP released the following statement on four Louisville Metro Police Department officers being charged by the FBI in relation to the case of Breonna Taylor:
The charges announced today by the U.S. Department of Justice mark the first federal steps toward accountability for the officers that killed Breonna Taylor. In the two years since March 2020, we have learned about the falsehoods that allowed law enforcement officers to obtain the warrant that led to the unlawful entry of Breonna Taylor's home and her subsequent death. Until now, no officer taking part in the raid has been charged. Kentucky's failure to act compounds the harm done – to not only Breonna Taylor and her family, but the ongoing wound felt by the Black community.
Individuals have the right and expectation to be free from unlawful action by the state. The justice system cannot function if people stop believing that they will be fairly treated and that wrongful action, especially by law enforcement, won't be punished.
Today's action by the U.S. Justice Department reflects a commitment to uphold the rule of law that Kentucky badly failed.
The NAACP awaits the trial of the officers involved and we have every hope that justice will prevail.

Rep. Ilhan Omar narrowly won her bid for reelection in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District Democratic primary after besting challenger Don Samuels, who conceded on Tuesday night.
With all the votes in, Omar won the primary 50.4% to Samuels’ 48.2%, falling far short of the 20-point victory she had over a Democratic rival two years ago. She is favored to beat Republican Cicely Davis, who won her party’s primary, in the general election in the deeply Democratic district.
Omar said in a statement that “Republicans and conservative Democrats have worked in lockstep to vote us out.”
“Tonight’s victory is a testament to how much our district believes in the collective values we are fighting for and how much they’re willing to do to help us overcome defeat,” Omar said. “This win is for them and everyone who still believes that hate, division and regression will not be the legacy of the Fifth.”
