(The Center Square) – One week after Gov. Josh Shapiro confirmed that two proposed ICE detention centers would not be built in Pennsylvania, a report points to the rapport he has with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. On Friday, Politico reported that Mullin said he has a “real good relationship” with Shapiro. “We talk about everything, really,” Mullin told the outlet. Shapiro, according to Politico, said Mullin was “responsive” as he lobbied against DHS's proposal to convert two warehouses in Berks and Schuylkill counties into ICE detention centers. Shapiro said the two “worked together constructively” and “discreetly” during this process. Under the direction of former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the agency had purchased both facilities earlier this year. U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said the proposal from the agency would have converted the facilities in Tremont Township and Upper Bern Township into 7,500 and 1,500-bed detention centers, respectively. Shapiro and Fetterman both expressed their opposition to the plan from the beginning, as the governor met with local officials in February and said that he would “do everything in his legal and regulatory power” to keep the facilities out of the commonwealth. “We have put the federal government on notice that it is going to be very hard, if not possible, for them to go ahead and build these detention centers in Pennsylvania,” Shapiro said during an interview on WURD in late April. “They need permits and other approvals from my administration, and we made very clear where we stand on that. I do not want these detention centers in Pennsylvania, and I will not allow this cruelty to take root here.” Earlier this month, DHS withdrew its appeal of the governor’s administration orders that forbid the federal agency from using the water or sewer infrastructure needed to convert those warehouses into immigration detention centers. On July 13, the agency provided written confirmation to Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection, DEP, that ICE “will not be using [either] Property as a detention center.” The Shapiro administration added that DEP will “continue closely monitoring these facilities to ensure DHS follows through on its stated intention.” "From the beginning, I’ve been clear that these warehouses should not be used as ICE detention centers because they are not suitable for people and converting them to detention centers would have posed serious risks to the health, safety, and infrastructure of the surrounding communities," Shapiro said on July 22. "My Administration stood with local leaders and residents, enforced Pennsylvania law, and worked across agencies to protect people from being held in these warehouses and to protect the surrounding communities.” Shapiro, according to Politico, “made inroads” with Mullin through his existing relationship with Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt. During Trump’s second term, Shapiro has sued the Trump administration more than two dozen times to challenge the loss of federal funding, rollbacks of environmental protections, and more, according to Spotlight PA. Last week, Shapiro joined a lawsuit against the Trump administration accusing them of a “campaign of coercion,” WESA reports, that threatens homeland security grant money for states that don’t change their election laws. Mullin is named in that lawsuit. While Shapiro has challenged the Trump administration over a variety of matters, he’s also facing pressure on his administration’s cooperation with ICE. On Wednesday, immigration advocates held a press conference calling on the state to end collaboration with the agency. The Shapiro administration told the Pennsylvania Capital-Star that it is reviewing how ICE, Customs and Border Protection, and other federal agencies can access state systems, while adding that Pennsylvania State Police officers are not permitted to detain individuals due to their immigration status.

(The Center Square) – Fraud in three North Carolina cases costing taxpayers about $27 million are among 17 getting enforcement action from the National Fraud Enforcement Division, the U.S. Justice Department said Friday. One involved stealing food assistance from families, another was money laundering in disaster loans and unemployment benefits, and a third involved fraudulent tax refunds on COVID-19 tax credits. All are tied to the seven-state coalition – the newly created Southeast Fraud Enforcement Federal-State Partnership – collaborating efforts with 18 offices of federal prosecutors, five federal law enforcement partners and more than 50 state officials. South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana are the others in the Deep South. The Justice Department said $350 million in losses were in the cases involving SNAP benefits, Small Business Administration loans, housing benefits and tax fraud. “Defeating the fraud epidemic in our country requires all-hands-on-deck from our federal and state partners nationwide,” Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald of the National Fraud Enforcement Division said in a release. “Whether it’s sharing intelligence, data, personnel, or priorities, partnering with state agencies directly strengthens our ability to identify those stealing taxpayer dollars. When federal prosecutors work alongside state agencies to root out fraud, fraudsters lose and the American people win.” In U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, a woman in Robeson County and seven coconspirators caused nearly $25 million in losses, prosecutors say. The woman owned a tax return preparation business and has pleaded guilty to conspiring to prepare false returns with claims of fraudulent refunds based on COVID-19 tax credits. The case is known as United States v. Mitchell et al. In U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, prosecutors say a money laundering ring took proceeds from various fraud schemes. Included were false applications for Economic Injury Disaster Loans, and false applications for unemployment benefits. The losses were nearly $1.7 million in the case known as United States v. Adedayo Afolabi Fateru. Two brothers from Romania have pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. The charges are wire fraud, whereby prosecutors say they orchestrated a scheme involving SNAP benefits to victims across multiple states resulting in nearly $766,000 in losses. SNAP is the acronym for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The state Department of Health and Human Services supervises local Department of Social Services offices in executing the program for more than 622,000 households from Murphy to Manteo. For context, one victim said the family was on a monthly grocery run for roughly $700 of SNAP-eligible items. The defendants in United States v. Dumitru had used her benefits, the transaction was denied, and the food and school supplies could not be purchased. The three federal prosecuting offices are led by Ellis Boyle in the Eastern District, Dan Bishop in the Middle District and Russ Ferguson in the Western District.

(The Center Square) – Wisconsin taxpayers will send $250,000 to WisconsinEye in monthly installments through the end of the year to keep the live-streaming network operational until a new legislative session begins. The Joint Committee on Legislative Organization approve the $50,000-per-month funding for the network with a 9-1 vote this week. “We view today’s vote as a strong statement of support by the legislative body as a whole – both houses and both parties – for unfettered citizen access to state government proceedings,” WisconsinEye president Jon Henkes said in a statement. “They’ve put action to their words that transparency is essential to our democracy, and we are extremely grateful.” The network said that it will use the funding to provide campaign coverage heading into the Aug. 11 primary and Nov. 3 general election along with coverage of study committees. Previous legislative attempts to fund the network’s operations stalled after the network was not able to raise the long-term funds necessary to receive $10 million in matching funds from the state to go toward an endowment that would fund WisconsinEye into the future. “WisconsinEye remains hopeful that when the new legislature convenes in January 2027, both houses will come together in bipartisan fashion to accomplish what the Senate and Assembly attempted in the previous legislative session – a level of continuing, partial funding that helps to maintain WisconsinEye as a trusted and independent window into our State Capitol,” the network said in a statement.

Take a break from the noise by answering 10 questions about the week in news in Michigan.

Gubernatorial candidates say they have big plans to cut costs for Michiganders. How would they pull it off?

(The Center Square) – Gas prices are climbing in Michigan, and analysts say they are likely to remain elevated as refinery issues continue to affect fuel supplies across the Great Lakes region. On Friday, the current average for regular unleaded was $4.37 across Michigan. That is nearly 30 cents higher than the national average of $4.11. This is according to the latest data from AAA. Compared to Thursday, the average from regular unleaded across the state has risen nearly 10 cents from $4.28. That’s a similar increase from last week’s price of $4.26, but up more than a dollar from last year’s $3.16. “Current GasBuddy scorecard – Americans today spent $356 million more on gasoline than they did one year ago,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. Mid-grade fuel in Michigan currently averages $4.96 per gallon, while premium stands at $5.56. Diesel averages $5.39 per gallon, up from $3.73 a year ago. Diesel reached a historic average high in Michigan on May 14, according to AAA’s records. Gas prices across the country could continue to rise as tensions involving Iran escalated again this week. But according to De Haan, drivers in the Great Lakes region may feel the impact more acutely as ongoing refinery issues continue to constrain regional fuel supplies. “Beware in Michigan with prices down 12c in the last week and refinery snags, a hike could be looming soon,” De Haan said earlier this week. He also warned that the fall months might bring little relief for drivers, bucking previous trends. “In ~7 days, you're going to see new all-time records set for highest August gas prices ever—even compared to 2022. At the current $4.08/gal, August 5th will be the date we're able to say the national average is at its highest level ever for the date,” De Haan said. “The national average price of gasoline has *never* any year been above $4/gal after August 8. Looking like we could break that this year, and I don't like that one bit.” Neighboring Indiana stands in sharp contrast to Michigan, consistently posting some of the nation's lowest average gas prices. On Friday, Indiana once again had the lowest average price for regular unleaded at $3.63 per gallon—$0.74 less than Michigan's average. One big reason for Indiana’s consistently low prices is the recent temporary suspension of its 7% Gasoline Use Tax and 36-cent Gasoline Excise Tax. On the flip side, Michigan recently raised its gas taxes. Yet, De Haan is pushing back on media reports that this is contributing to the state’s higher fuel prices. “The tax shift in Michigan actually lowered the gas prices Michiganders would pay when gas prices are above $3.50/gal, and it also gives Michigan certainty on revenue so it didn’t fluctuate wildly. So the tax shift is currently resulting in 'lower' gas prices,” De Haan said on Friday morning. “Over ~$3.50/gal prices are lower under the new tax system. Under $3.50/gal they’d be slightly higher. Under $2.50/gal they’d be moderately higher with the new system.” Nationally, California continues to have the highest average gas prices at $5.65 per gallon.
