Trump pardons diesel mechanics for Clean Air Act violations at Alaska rally

President Donald Trump issued pardons at a campaign rally in Alaska on Tuesday for two diesel mechanics who were previously charged with and pleaded guilty to violating the Clean Air Act.  The president signed the pardons for Zachary Czubak and Patrick Fleming on stage at the campaign event in Wasilla after he invited them up on stage. “They wanted to put them in jail for 10 years because they fixed an engine, how sick,” Trump said.  “The concept is that if you allow people to fix the engines, they’re going to take all of the environmental crap that makes it bad, makes it expensive, that they’re going to do undo that.

And when you undo that, you therefore send fumes into the air, so we’re going to put them in jail for ten years,” he continued.  Czubak and Fleming each pleaded guilty in 2022 to federal charges that they violated the Clean Air Act by illegally tampering with equipment and removing equipment meant to control air pollution. According to the Anchorage Daily News, federal prosecutors said the two men, along with Michael Wayne Hanzuk, tampered with and removed emission controls from at least 37 vehicles between July 2019 and September 2020. “This means the world to me,” Fleming said on stage. “We’re not criminals. We’re not trying to hurt anybody. We want to help Alaskans.

We want to help people with diesel trucks, with vehicles across the world.”  Trump previously pardoned nine convicted of similar Clean Air Act violations in July for what a White House official described as overzealous enforcement by previous administrations.

Biden Judge Blocks Trump’s New Verification System to Fight Voter Fraud

Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump’s New Verification System to Remove Foreign Nationals from Voter Rolls uscourts.gov JOHN BINDER22 Jun 20264,417 2:52 A federal judge, appointed by President Joe Biden, has blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from using an updated verification system, known as the SAVE program, to remove foreign nationals from state voter rolls.

On Monday, Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, appointed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia by Biden, issued an order to prevent the Trump administration from using a streamlined version of the federal government’s SAVE program to combat voter fraud. The update to SAVE allowed states to more quickly verify that only American citizens are voting in federal elections by no longer requiring that all nine digits of a voter registrant’s Social Security Number have to be entered to verify eligibility.

“This case implicates two fundamental rights that protect Americans from government overreach: the right to privacy and the right to vote,” Sooknanan, an immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago, wrote:

In the past year, several federal agencies have joined forces to create a centralized federal database that contains the private information of United States citizens, including Social Security numbers, citizenship status, and other sensitive data. But decades ago, Congress put protections in place to prevent precisely this type of centralized data bank. And the record in this case shows that the federal agencies that created this database knew that the database violates those statutory protections. The agencies were scrambling to comply with an Executive Order aimed at reshaping federal elections, which directed them to create a system for mass voter verification. So they haphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable. Since then, states have partnered with the federal government to access the database and are actively removing United States citizens from voter rolls based on inaccurate information. All in all, the federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote. This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens.

A U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) spokesman previously told Breitbart News that the updated SAVE program was necessary to ensure “America’s elections are reserved exclusively for American citizens.” The case is League of Women Voters et al v. DHS, No. 25-3501 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
