Report: DOJ initiative leads to more criminals off Mississippi streets
SUMMARY: Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a national initiative launched in 2001, has led to increased federal prosecutions of violent criminals and drug traffickers, particularly in Mississippi. The program saw a 13% rise in prosecutions in the Southern District of Mississippi in fiscal year 2024, with a notable increase in firearms-related cases. Key cases included individuals involved in high-speed chases, firearm possession, and drug trafficking. PSN connects federal, state, and local law enforcement to combat crime, with U.S. Attorney Todd Gee emphasizing the initiative’s focus on reducing violent crime and dismantling criminal networks.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith and Roger Wicker praised the federal decision to increase taxes on imported shrimp from Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam due to unfair trade practices. The U.S. International Trade Commission found these countries had sold shrimp below market prices or benefitted from subsidies, harming the U.S. shrimping industry. Hyde-Smith emphasized that these actions hurt local Mississippi shrimpers and urged efforts to combat unfair competition. The new duties range from 2.24% to 221.82%, aimed at leveling the playing field for American producers. Wicker noted the domestic industry’s declining market share during rising shrimp consumption.

SUMMARY: Officials in Mississippi are warning Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients about a rise in card skimming, leading to stolen benefits. The Mississippi Department of Human Services emphasizes the importance of protecting accounts and suggests participants frequently change their PINs, avoid easy-to-guess numbers, and keep their PINs confidential. Users should inspect card machines for signs of tampering and monitor their EBT accounts for unauthorized charges. If fraud occurs, recipients should contact the EBT cardholder service center to deactivate compromised cards. Those affected between August 15, 2023, and December 20, 2024, may qualify for replacement benefits.
