U.S. federal prosecutors will not bring charges in the fatal 2019 arrest of unarmed Black motorist Ronald Greene, Greene's family said on Tuesday. Greene, 49, died in May 2019 on a roadside in rural northern Louisiana after a violent confrontation with officers that followed a high-speed car chase.

The U.S. Justice Department has decided not to pursue charges against the Border Patrol agents involved in the fatal shooting of Raymond Mattia, an unarmed Tohono O'odham Nation member, on May 18, 2023, near the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona. The incident occurred after agents responded to reports of gunfire, and Mattia was shot when he allegedly threw something at an agent and made a sudden movement. Despite the Tohono O'odham Nation's call for a thorough investigation, the FBI and federal prosecutors concluded that the agents' use of force was justified under the circumstances, leading to no federal charges being filed. The case has raised concerns about the use of lethal force by Border Patrol agents and the need for accountability and transparency in such incidents.
