SD Attorney General Leads Effort Against Misleading 'Product of USA' Beef Labeling

SD Attorney General Leads Effort Against Misleading ‘Product of USA’ Beef Labeling

Posted by Angel Law on August 18, 2025

South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley has announced he is leading a bipartisan coalition of 11 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief to support American cattle ranchers. The brief targets manufacturers who are using a “Product of USA” label on foreign-sourced beef products.

The legal action stems from a lawsuit filed by South Dakota ranchers in federal court after the U.S. Department of Agriculture initially allowed manufacturers to use the “Product of USA” label on beef from other countries. A District Court previously ruled in favor of the ranchers, and the case is now on appeal to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.

SNAP Recipients Urged to Change PINs After Thefts in Sioux Falls

SNAP Recipients Urged to Change PINs After Thefts in Sioux Falls

Posted by Angel Law on August 14, 2025

The South Dakota Department of Social Services (DSS) is advising all Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients to immediately change their personal identification numbers (PINs) to protect their benefits from theft. This warning comes after the discovery that more than 350 SNAP beneficiaries in the Sioux Falls area had their benefits stolen.

An investigation revealed that skimming devices were likely placed on point-of-sale terminals at the Walmart Supercenter on East Arrowwood Parkway and at several Dollar General stores in Sioux Falls. These devices illegally captured individuals’ SNAP account numbers and PINs, which were then used to process fraudulent transactions out of state.

South Dakota Gaming Commission Issues Warning Against Fraudulent Online Casinos

South Dakota Gaming Commission Issues Warning Against Fraudulent Online Casinos

Posted by Angel Law on August 4, 2025

The South Dakota Commission on Gaming is issuing a public warning about a rise in fraudulent online casinos that are deceptively using the names and logos of legitimate South Dakota gaming establishments. These unauthorized platforms, which operate illegally, are designed to trick consumers and pose significant financial and personal security risks.

According to the Commission, online casino gaming, including slots, table games, and sports wagering, is not legal in South Dakota. Any platform offering these services is operating without authorization. The Commission has received reports of misleading online ads and social media promotions that imitate the branding of well-known Deadwood and Tribal casinos, offer unrealistic bonuses, and redirect users to fake websites or apps.

‘Operation Prairie Thunder’ will assist with deportations and boost Sioux Falls law enforcement

Posted by Angel Law on July 31, 2025

The state of South Dakota will spend more time and money in the coming months to police the streets of Sioux Falls, and to help federal agents deport immigrants who lack legal status.

The work will support the state’s fast-growing city, Gov. Larry Rhoden said, and help the state’s seven federal immigration agents add to their current arrest tally of 262 in the state since President Donald Trump took office.

Posted by Angel Law on July 28, 2025

Amid recent political rhetoric about rising crime and violence in American cities, a new analysis shows that violent crime has continued to decline this year.

Homicides and several other serious offenses, including gun assaults and carjackings, dropped during the first half of 2025 across 42 U.S. cities, continuing a downward trend that began in 2022, according to a new crime trends report released Thursday by the nonpartisan think tank Council on Criminal Justice.

North Dakota attorneys withdraw from federal public defender work due to funding gap

North Dakota attorneys withdraw from federal public defender work due to funding gap

Posted by Angel Law on July 21, 2025

North Dakota attorneys and judicial officials say a lack of funding for a key federal program could harm federal defendants’ ability to get quality representation.

The U.S. Constitution protects criminal defendants’ right to an attorney. When federal defendants can’t afford a lawyer, they are typically assigned a federal public defender. About 40% of the time, however, federal defenders must pass the case to a private lawyer due to a conflict of interest, according to the judicial branch.

How the “Big Beautiful Bill” Will Change Criminal Justice and Immigration

How the “Big Beautiful Bill” Will Change Criminal Justice and Immigration

Posted by Angel Law on July 18, 2025

President Donald Trump signed a sprawling budget bill — the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — into law last week. The legislation, a vehicle for most of his domestic policy agenda, rewrites significant portions of the country’s immigration and criminal justice systems in ways big and small.

The most visible shift is the law’s commitment of about $170 billion to immigration enforcement over the next decade. That includes a 265% annual increase to the national immigration detention budget, according to the American Immigration Council, an immigration advocacy group. The administration plans to rapidly double immigration detention space to hold about 100,000 people, largely by paying private prison companies to reopen currently shuttered facilities.
