NV AG signs on suit to stop Trump from cutting funds for crime victims
(Photo:) Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford is among 21 attorneys general who have joined a lawsuit to stop President Donald Trump from withholding billions of dollars in funding for resources for crime victims from states that don't aid the administration's mass deportation efforts. Nevada received about $24 million in funding from the Victims of Crime Act, or VOCA, in 2024 according to the Victim Assistance Data Dashboard. Withholding funds would put the state, and the 58 organizations that receive grant funding, at risk of losing money needed to offer support services to victims. The U.S. Department of Justice threatened to block VOCA funding nationwide, which provides critical grant funding for state agencies and nonprofits addressing domestic violence and sexual assault, if states don't cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Survivors of crime 'should not be used as pawns to score political points' in Trump's efforts to force states to comply with aggressive immigration enforcement'. Ford said in a statement earlier this week. 'It is despicable that President Trump is using vital funding to play political games,' Ford said. 'He is putting victims and survivors of crime in even more precarious situations when what they deserve is help with regaining a sense of normalcy.' The act was created in 1984 and has allowed helped fund a variety of services and assistance, including paying for emergency shelter, medical expenses, crime scene cleanup, and sexual assault forensic exams. 'Between 2021 and 2024, states have used federal VOCA funds to assist, on average, more than 8.5 million crime victims per year and to pay more than 200,000 claims per year for losses suffered by crime victims,' the lawsuit reads.

Michigan autoworker's lost wallet found under car hood in Minnesota over a decade later
A retired Michigan autoworker's lost wallet was discovered under the hood of a car in Minnesota on it over a decade after it vanished while he was working at a Ford assembly plant. Richard Guilford's tri-fold leather wallet — filled with a driver's license, work ID, gift cards worth $275, cash, and lottery tickets — turned up under the hood of a car being repaired at a shop in Lake Crystal, Minnesota. The wallet was discovered in June by mechanic Chad Volk, sandwiched between the transmission and the air filter box of a 2015 Ford Edge with 151,000 miles on it. Advertisement 3 A retired Michigan autoworker's lost wallet was discovered under the hood of a Minnesota car with over 150,000 miles on it over a decade after it vanished while he was working a vehicle assembly job. AP 'Did you lose your wallet years ago? If so, it was in the engine bay of a car,' Volk wrote to Guilford on Facebook. Volk messaged a photo of the wallet and included the driver's license, where Guilford saw a younger headshot of himself. Advertisement 'Crazy,' Volk said of his wallet turning up. Guilford was working on the same car in 2014 at a Ford factory in Wayne on an assembly line of new vehicles waiting to be shipped out to dealerships, when he realized his wallet had vanished. Unsure where it had disappeared — the autoworker searched dozens of cars before giving up on finding that wallet, which was a gift from his sons. 3 The wallet was discovered in June by mechanic Chad Volk, sandwiched between the transmission and the air filter box of a 2015 Ford Edge. AP Advertisement 'I can't take too much time to look for this because I gotta work. I'm on the clock,' he recalled feeling. 'No luck. Life went on.' Guilford, now 56 and living in Petersburg, Michigan, retired from Ford in 2024 after nearly 35 years. 'The amazing part to me was it was so protected,' Guilford said. 'Think about this: 11 years, rain, snow. It was in Minnesota, for crying out loud. It was in Arizona when it was bought. Think about how hot a transmission gets in Arizona driving down the road. That's incredible.' Advertisement 3 Some of the gift cards in the wallet were remarkably still valid. AP Some of the gift cards in the wallet were remarkably still valid. Cabela's, an outdoor retailer, said the $250 gift card Guilford had in his wallet is still valid. The company has since offered him more to bless his luck. 'I'm going to put everything back in it and leave it just like it is, and it's gonna sit at the house in the china cabinet, and that's for my kids,' said Guilford. 'They can tell my great-grandkids about it. We're big into stories. I like tellin' stories. That's just who I am.' With Post wires
