Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price barred from prosecuting former prosecutor and loudest critic

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:11:28 GMT

OAKLAND — A judge barred Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price’s office on Wednesday from prosecuting her biggest critic in a misdemeanor case.The case will now be handled by the California Attorney General’s Office.Alameda County Superior Court Judge James Cramer ruled that Price’s office has a “significant conflict of interest” in prosecuting Amilcar “Butch” Ford, a former employee of hers who was charged over the summer with violating a little-used section of the state’s business and professions code.In making his ruling, Cramer said Price had “every right” to speak out against Ford and his alleged actions. But he raised concerns about how often — and with how much apparent vigor — Price appeared to publicly speak about Ford, citing numerous press releases issued about Ford’s case since charging him in July. It was particularly unusual, given Ford only faced a misdemeanor.“I’m ...

By Valerie Gonzalez and Stephen Groves | Associated PressEAGLE PASS, Texas — U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson led about 60 fellow Republicans in Congress on a visit Wednesday to the Mexican border to demand hard-line immigration policies in exchange for backing President Joe Biden’s emergency wartime funding request for Ukraine. He expressed serious doubts about whether he would support a bipartisan compromise.The trip to Eagle Pass, Texas, came as the Senate engages in delicate negotiations in hopes of striking a deal.With the number of illegal crossings into the United States topping 10,000 on several days last month, the border city has been at the center of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, his nearly $10 billion initiative that has tested the federal government’s authority over immigration and elevated the political fight over the issue.An agreement in the lengthy talks in Washington could unlock Senate GOP support for Biden’s $110 billio...
