The California DOJ has threatened to hold the leaders of Black Lives Matter personally liable over the charity's missing financial records
The organization has 60 days to disclose records about its $60 million in donations or it could have its tax-exempt status revoked
The charity could also face fines for 'each month or partial month for which the report(s) are delinquent'
The DOJ said 'directors, trustees, officers and return preparers' could be liable for 'all penalties, interest and other costs incurred to restore exempt status'
Charitable assets cannot be used to pay the costs associated with the matter
It is unclear with leaders would be held 'personally liable,' especially since all three co-founders are no longer affiliated with the organization
The notice comes just days after it was revealed that BLM has not had anyone in charge of its finances since co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigned last May

The CA DoJ Division of Law Enforcement, the actual LE Special Agents with Badges and firearms, is deeply compromised by politically biased leftists and minority-friendly, SEIU union influence. This is almost certainly theater and sound-bite bluster to offer cover. The Prosecutorial lawyers of the CA DoJ are far worse politically. My extensive exposure with them in policy, planning and operational enforcement operations is more than 10 years old, but I cannot imagine it got better since I retired...
[Breitbart] On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) said that unless there is a policy shift on the border, the problems will continue, and one possible improvement is giving Border Patrol agents the technology to take down drones that are smuggling drugs near the border.
Gonzales said, [relevant remarks begin around 1:10] “We know what the issues are, and it starts with a policy change. We can add all these other things, but until a policy shift happens, we’re only going to continue to see all of these horrific things that are happening.”
He added, “I was speaking with an agent a couple of weeks ago, and this is what he told me. In one sector in particular, there [are] over 2,000 intrusions via drones. And what is happening is these small little drones are carrying fentanyl. They start in Mexico. They cross our border with these little drones. They drop the package, sometimes in a football field, at a school, somebody picks it up and takes it on from there. Let’s arm these Border Patrol agents with technology that allows them to shoot down these drones. This is one step that we could be doing.”

Too many Dems have signed onto Soros "open borders."
Their immigration policies have increased the flow of drugs and human trafficking. Terrorists have also come across our border. NGOs and a cottage industry of immigration lawyers are also a part of this problem.
FBI's getting frisky.
[NEWS9] At least a half-dozen historically Black universities in five states and the District of Columbia were responding to bomb threats Monday, with many of them locking down their campuses for a time. Hoax threats? Jussie Smollett?
Both the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are investigating, the agencies said in separate statements.
In Georgia, Albany State University warned students and faculty on social media that “a bomb threat has been issued to Albany State University’s academic buildings.”
School officials at Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, told students to stay in their dormitories Monday morning. After a search for any suspicious devices, the university gave an all-clear later in the day. Normal campus operations were expected to resume Tuesday, school officials said.

Bandits killed 1,192 persons and abducted 3,348 others across Kaduna State in 2021, a state government report has revealed.
The report’s breakdown shows that among those killed comprised 1,038 men, 104 women and 50 minors.
This is contained in a security situation report from January to December 2021 as presented by the state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, to the state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Tuesday.
Aruwan said, "Kaduna Central Senatorial District recorded 720 deaths from banditry, communal clashes, violence attacks and reprisal attacks.
"Southern Kaduna Senatorial District accounted for 406 deaths due to communal clashes alongside banditry.”
In his remarks, El-Rufai said based on the security report presented, an average of nine persons were kidnapped daily by bandits across the state in 2021.
El-Rufai, therefore, called on the Nigerian Government to create a theatre command similar to the one in the North-East to confront the insurgency affecting five states in North-West.
He said, “Kaduna State Government appeals to the Federal Government to create a Theatre Command similar to the situation in the North-East to confront the insurgency that has clearly emerged in five states of the North-West and Niger State with continuous and contiguous forest ranges.
“The creation of such a Theatre Command will enable holistic approach to counter-insurgent operations across the six affected states and the enhanced coordination of the resources of the Armed Forces, the Police, the DSS (Department of State Services), our respective State Vigilance Services, hunters and other local volunteers to fight the insurgents.”
The governor further disclosed that there is also an escalation in the number of persons killed by a whopping 255 compared to those killed by bandits and other criminals in 2020 in spite of its support for the federal security agencies to bring an end to the problem.
It's too hard!
[FoxNews] Mexico migration official gives Fox News inside look at border operation.
Mexican immigration agents are overwhelmed and undermanned by design, a Mexican migration official told Fox News in an exclusive interview.
"I just adapt to my president's decisions," said Nadir Ali Fernandez Villasana, the local representative of the National Migration Institute office in Nogales, Mexico. "But since this new administration took over, the new president in Mexico, it's austerity … austerity in the republic."
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador started an austerity policy when he took office in 2018, aiming to combat corruption by reducing government size and government abuses of expenditures. He planned to use the recouped money for future development in the country.
Fernandez Villasana said the policy had a direct impact on resources at Mexico’s northern border.
The Sonora border district spans 389 miles and has six major ports of entry, including Nogales.
Fernandez Villasana’s office, which is responsible for implementing migration policy across four sentry posts in the Nogales area plus 12 additional municipalities, had 40 agents to process people in the district. But under orders from the Obrador administration, that has been reduced to 15.
"There’s a pretty big difference between the United States and Mexico," Fernandez Villasana said.
"In Mexico, we don’t really consider migration to be illegal," he continued. "In the United States, people who have illegal migratory status are more chased than in Mexico. In Mexico, we try to make the migration orderly, safe. We don’t see it as a crime, like a crime of migration."
Fernandez Villasana told Fox News that Mexican citizens deported from the U.S. get food and travel vouchers and are released to find their way home. Immigrants from other countries, like Guatemala and El Salvador, are shipped to a facility farther south to complete the deportation process if they don't have proper paperwork.
Because of the reduced workforce due to the austerity policy, Fernandez Villasana said he doesn't always have the staff "to take some illegals to the migratory station who are illegally in the country, and if I don't have a provisional holding place to keep these people, I have to let them go. That's a consequence."
[IsraelTimes] The African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... appears set for an internal clash over its relationship with Israel at a summit this weekend, a rare point of contention for a bloc that values consensus.
The dispute was set in motion last July when Moussa Faki Mahamat, chair of the African Union Commission, accepted Israel’s accreditation to the 55-member body headquartered in Addis Ababa — handing Israeli diplomats a victory they had been chasing for nearly two decades.
Powerful AU member states, notably South Africa, quickly spoke out in protest, saying they had not been properly consulted and that the move contradicted numerous AU statements, including from Faki himself, supporting the Paleostinians.
Foreign ministers failed to resolve the issue at a meeting last October, and South Africa and Algeria have placed it on the agenda of a summit for heads of state that kicks off Saturday, according to AU documents seen by AFP.
Despite a long list of pressing issues including the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it.

There could also be a vote on whether to back or reject Faki’s decision.

The Iraqi caretaker Prime Minister, Mustafa al-Kadhimi, dismissed the parties who executed the recent rocket attack on the Baghdad International Airport as "non-state groups", urging the political forces to take a firm stance against those "terrorists".
Al-Kadhimi's statements came during the weekly ordinary cabinet meeting he headed on Tuesday.
The Prime Minister extended greetings to the security forces that participated in the military campaign to eliminate ISIS remnants.
"During our visit to the border areas in northwest Iraq, we worked on strict security measures within the framework of a tight plan to preclude the infiltration of terrorist elements."
"Last week witnessed a very unfortunate event. A group from non-state forces conducted a coward terrorist attack on Baghdad's international airport," he continued, "those groups adopt the approach of terrorism. They deploy the same tools of terrorist groups and do what they do."
"The security forces are tracing the snuffies and identified some of the perpetrators. The investigations are underway," the Prime Minister continued, "all the culprits will be apprehended and held accountable without any exception."

Despite continuous security operations, the Hamrin basin areas, northeast of Diyala and Saladin governorates, have remained a security riddle for more than 17 years.
A senior military officer told Shafaq News Agency that the area will not be settled until the federal forces and the Peshmerga reach an agreement on the borders separating Diyala, Saladin, and Kirkuk in the north-east, as after the Peshmerga retreated, it turned into terrorist swamps.
The military Commander, who preferred to remain anonymous, pointed to the existence of open infiltration gaps between Kurdistan's border towards Khanaqin, northern Diyala, as well as the governorate's West. ISIS faceless myrmidons exploit those gaps to move freely, as the security operations could not address them without deploying permanent military units in coordination with the Peshmerga.
He described the security operations in these areas as open practices that drain efforts and facilitate ambushes and landmines, as happened in previous operations that left more than 30 injured and victims of the security forces about a month ago.
The Commander called for serious coordination between federal forces and the Peshmerga to end this situation in Hamrin, which hosts terrorist faceless myrmidons that appeared and disappeared like ghosts over the past years.
However, if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning... former Miqdadiyah council chairman Adnan al-Tamimi said that security operations in Hamrin are not feasible without installing units and ground-holding forces reinforced with mobile detachments and thermographic cameras to restrict and prevent ISIS's movements.
He also stressed the need to close the infiltration gaps from the vacant Peshmerga partitions towards Hamrin with international raids to completely destroy ISIS hotbeds and tunnels in the area with long and intense strikes.
The Hamrin threat is not limited to Diyala. It also threatens Saladin from the eastern side near Kirkuk and Diyala, according to former parliamentary security and defense committee member Jassim al-Jabara.
Al-Jabara revealed to Shafaq News agency that ISIS is present in sensitive areas as part of a strategy seeking to recreate the 2014 scenario, unless the security leadership is corrected and solutions are put in place for vacant areas, especially the Hamrin Mountains, Kirkuk outskirts, and the Makhoul Mountains.
He also called for Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s and a heavy military presence in ISIS's hotbeds near the Hamrin and Makhoul Mountains, which link three governorates and constantly threaten their security, in addition to transferring the military commands of operations' headquarters close to hotspots and security threat areas, to contain the danger before it occurs and to reduce the movements of ISIS's remnants.
The former security and defense committee member added that what is left of ISIS is nothing but detachments that move in the mentioned hot, vacant, and rugged areas, "which requires prior intelligence efforts ahead of military operations, away from the media and preceding announcements."
[JPost] Message to Hezbollah and Hamas
The laser system will protect Israel from missiles, rockets, drones and other threats.
Israel will surround itself with a defensive "laser wall," with new missile interception technology to be ready within a year, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced in a speech at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
The IDF will begin using the laser interception system in the next year, first experimentally and later operationally, starting in the South.
"This will allow us, in the medium- to long-term, to surround Israel with a laser wall that will defend us from missiles, rockets, UAVs and other threats that will essentially take away the strongest card our enemies have against us," Bennett said.
The Defense Ministry successfully intercepted drones with the powerful airborne laser system installed on light aircraft in June. The system downed several UAVs at a range of one kilometer with a 100% success rate. The ministry intends to build a laser with a power of 100 kilowatts that will have an effective range of 20 km.
Bennett explained that today a terrorist in Gaza can launch a rocket into Israel that costs hundreds of dollars to make, while the Iron Dome battery shooting down the rocket costs tens of thousands of dollars.

[JPost] Helllooooo Iran! Shhhhh - it's confidential
The operation and confidential drill took place about two weeks ago and involved dozens of aircraft.
A US officer was allowed to participate as an observer in an Israel Air Force drill in recent weeks that simulated an attack on Iran, KAN news reported on Tuesday.
The operation and confidential drill took place about two weeks ago and involved dozens of aircraft.
According to the report, the fact that Americans were allowed at sites they're normally not allowed in has a lot of importance, especially as it comes amid talks in Vienna to return to the nuclear deal between world powers and Iran.
The training reportedly included a number of scenarios, including aerial refueling, hitting a long-range target and dealing with surface-to-air missiles.
In mid-January, IAF pilots and the US Air Force Central Command (AFCENT) held a joint training exercise called Desert Falcon. The exercises simulated airstrikes and dog fights.
In December, KAN reported that the IDF was planning a massive mock strike aerial drill for this summer to prepare for a potential strike on Iran's nuclear program.
On Tuesday, the IDF announced that the Israel Navy is for the first time taking part in one of the largest American-led naval drills in the Red Sea alongside dozens of other countries.
"The Israel Navy will join 60 naval fleets for the US Navy-led ’IMX’ International Naval Exercise," the IDF said. "For the first time, our Flotilla 3 & Underwater Warfare Unit will train with the US Fifth Fleet in the Red Sea. We look forward to strengthening security & global cooperation."
Israeli troops have held several drills with CENTCOM, the United States Air Force Central Command (AFCENT) and NAVCENT in recent months in the South of the county, including one in November with Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates in the Red Sea.

Hopefully the IAF uses the obvious notion that USA would leak to IRAN to their advantage.
” ’Cause Jooos are icky.” I vote Israel should give them what they want, and take their normalization elsewhere.
[BenarNews] Indonesian Moslem groups, including an influential scholars’ body, are demanding the closure of a Holocaust museum that opened last week, with some saying it is part of Israel’s attempts to normalize relations with Jakarta and its occupation of Paleostinian lands.
Thank you, President Biden.
The first permanent exhibition and museum in Indonesia devoted to the memory of victims of the Holocaust opened in North Sulawesi province on Jan. 27, and is housed inside Indonesia’s lone synagogue.
Indonesia only has one?
The opening occurred amid reported Israeli overtures to establish ties with the world’s largest Moslem-majority nation. Indonesia, a staunch supporter of the Paleostinian cause, has long refused to open diplomatic ties with the Jewish State.
"We demand any exhibition be stopped and the museum be cancelled discontinued," said Sudarnoto Abdul Hakim, the head of foreign relations and international cooperation at the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), the country’s semi-official Islamic authority.
