The Miami Legends are part of the NJCP's nationwide effort to provide a professional-grade platform for high school graduates and transfer athletes who are seeking a bridge to a four-year degree. Under Coach Stevens' leadership, the program will emphasize the "Mamba Mentality" approach to coaching—transitioning from simply telling players what to think to teaching them how to think and execute at an elite level.

A Legacy of Mentorship and Miami Excellence

A proud graduate of the legendary Miami Northwestern Senior High, Coach Stevens brings the high-intensity winning culture of South Florida football to the Legends. His coaching resume includes stints with the South Florida Chargers, Atlantis University, and Palm Beach Elite Academy. However, it is Stevens' background beyond the sidelines that sets his leadership apart.

With a professional history that includes serving as a senior counselor and sports director at the Boys & Girls Club of Miami-Dade, as well as providing psycho-social assessments and counseling at Pleasant Valley State Prison, Stevens possesses a rare ability to connect with athletes on a human level.

"Coaches are teachers. My objective is to utilize my skills and experience to make a positive impact on every athlete that joins this program," said Coach Tywane Stevens. "Having a strong skill set on the field is crucial for victories, but building character is the lifelong byproduct. We want our players to demonstrate a healthy sense of self and a work ethic that will sustain them long after their football heydays are over."

The Miami Legends enter the League

The Miami Legends program is built on the philosophy that sports teach courage, dedication, and coordinated efficiency. By focusing on the "Total Person," Coach Stevens ensures that his athletes are not just prepared for the physical rigors of the game, but are armed with the tools to find success in their academic and professional lives.

"Great coaches teach you how to find the fish," Stevens added, echoing the philosophy of the late Kobe Bryant. "We are arming these young men with the tools to execute properly in life. We are building a program where athletes flourish because they are taught to maximize their potential and hone their skills daily."

Coach Moore, a proud graduate of Elkins High School, Class of 2003, grew up in the heart of Missouri City and Fort Bend County. Now, after years of coaching and mentoring young athletes, he is returning to the community that raised him-this time with a mission to open doors for the next generation.

The upcoming NJCP Clutch City Eagles tryout will offer Houston-area athletes the chance to earn scholarships to play college football, gain national exposure, and receive mentorship from experienced coaches dedicated to their long-term success.

"This community shaped me," said Coach Moore. "I walked these same streets, went to these same schools, and had coaches and mentors who believed in me. Now it's my turn to give that back. Football is the tool-but the real goal is to teach these young men how to be leaders, how to serve their communities, and how to build a future they can be proud of."

The NJCP program focuses on more than athletic development. Players receive support in academics, leadership training, personal growth, and community engagement. The Clutch City Eagles are committed to ensuring that every athlete leaves the program better prepared for life-on and off the field.

City officials applaud Coach Moore's dedication to empowering Houston's youth and strengthening the community through mentorship, discipline, and opportunity.

Silver Spring, MD / CRWE PRESS RELEASE / February 12, 2026 -  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a first-of-its-kind device for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Optune Pax, developed by Novocure, is a portable, non-invasive device that delivers alternating electrical fields, known as tumor treating fields (TTFields), to the abdomen. TTFields work by physically disrupting the rapid cell division that is characteristic of cancer cells, while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.

“Having treated many patients with pancreatic cancer, I know how difficult the diagnosis can be. The pancreatic cancer community deserves better therapeutic options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “The FDA is working tirelessly to bring potentially promising therapies to people who need them.”

The approval reflects the FDA’s unwavering commitment to advancing safe and effective medical devices that address chronic diseases and improve the lives of Americans and is also aligned with the FDA’s Home as a Health Care Hub Initiative, which focuses on advancing the development of innovative, patient-centered devices that fit more seamlessly into people’s daily lives at home.    

“Pancreatic cancer is one of the most challenging cancers to treat, and patients have long needed new therapeutic options,” said Center for Devices and Radiological Health Director Michelle Tarver, M.D., Ph.D. “This approval provides a novel, non-invasive approach that can be integrated into patients’ daily lives, expanding access to cancer care beyond traditional clinical settings.”

According to information published by the National Cancer Institute, pancreatic cancer was expected to result in approximately 67,440 new diagnoses and 51,980 deaths in the U.S. in 2025. Pancreatic cancer accounts for roughly 3.3% of all new cancer cases but represents a disproportionately large share of cancer deaths due to its late detection, aggressive disease behavior, and limited treatment options.

The therapy is administered through electrically insulated adhesive patches that are placed on the patient’s skin and connected to an electric field generator. Device treatment technological parameters are preset by the manufacturer and cannot be adjusted by the patient or physician. Patients are trained on how to use the device, including how to recharge and replace device batteries, connect the device to an external power supply, place the adhesive patches in the appropriate positions on the body, and replace the transducer arrays at least twice per week. The device is designed to be worn with the generator carried in a specially designed bag, allowing patients to receive continuous treatment while going about their normal daily activities.

Optune Pax was approved through the premarket approval (PMA) pathway, the FDA’s most rigorous review process for medical devices. The FDA’s approval of Optune Pax is based on data from a pivotal clinical study conducted under an Investigational Device Exemption. The randomized and controlled study followed adult patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer for up to five years. The results showed that the addition of TTFields to standard of care chemotherapies gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (GnP) improved Overall Survival by approximately two months compared to GnP alone. Localized skin reactions were the most common device-related risks observed in the study. The results of this study formed the basis for the FDA’s PMA approval decision.

The FDA granted Breakthrough Device designation for the Optune Pax device in December 2024. A breakthrough designation is meant to expedite the development and review of devices that provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions.

Silver Spring, MD / CRWE PRESS RELEASE / February 05, 2026 - Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration took additional steps to support the transition of our nation’s food supply from the use of artificial petroleum-based colors to alternatives derived from natural sources. Companies will now have flexibility to claim products contain ‘no artificial colors’ when the products do not contain petroleum-based colors. In the past, companies were generally only able to make such claims when their products had no added color whatsoever — whether derived from natural sources or otherwise.

The agency sent a letter to industry providing notice of the FDA’s intent to exercise enforcement discretion related to these voluntary labeling claims.

“This is real progress,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  “We are making it easier for companies to move away from petroleum-based synthetic colors and adopt safer, naturally derived alternatives. This momentum advances our broader effort to help Americans eat real food and Make America Healthy Again.”

Additionally, the agency today also approved beetroot red, a new color option, and approved the expanded use of spirulina extract, an existing color additive derived from a natural source. These actions were initiated by two petitions and will further help the industry transition from petroleum-based food colors. This brings the total number of new food color options approved under the current administration to six.

“We acknowledge that calling colors derived from natural sources ‘artificial’ might be confusing for consumers and a hindrance for companies to explore alternative food coloring options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We’re taking away that hindrance and making it easier for companies to use these colors in the foods our families eat every day.”

This work builds on previous HHS and FDA actions to encourage companies to phase out the use of petroleum-based colors in their food products. In April 2025, HHS and the FDA first announced a series of new measures to work with industry to phase out use of all petroleum-based synthetic colors from the nation’s food supply—a significant milestone in the administration’s broader initiative to Make America Healthy Again. Ongoing progress in removing petroleum-based colors from the food supply is being publicly tracked by the FDA at Tracking Food Industry Pledges to Remove Petroleum Based Food Dyes.

“We are working diligently to facilitate industry’s phase out of petroleum-based colors and speed up authorizations for colors that are derived from alternative sources,” said Kyle Diamantas, J.D., Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods. “The actions announced today give companies even more ways to transition to the use of alternative colors derived from natural sources.”

While the FDA encourages manufacturers to transition to alternative colors, including those derived from natural sources, the agency is also reminding manufacturers of their responsibility to ensure color additive safety. Therefore, the agency is issuing a letter that, among other things, highlights resources that may assist manufacturers of authorized color additives in maintaining high standards of safety and purity.

A Proven Pipeline to the NFL

Coach Sweeney's reputation as an elite developer is backed by a track record of moving players to the highest levels of the game. His most notable success story is Robert Carter Jr., whom Sweeney built into a powerhouse defensive back and D2 All-American during their time at UVA-Wise.

Carter's journey serves as the ultimate blueprint for the Vipers program:

• The Development: Under Sweeney's wing, Carter leveled up from D2 to Robert Morris (D1).

• The Big Stage: He grabbed national attention with a viral one-handed interception against Utah State.

• The Pro Ranks: After dominating in the CFL where he earned a 96.2 PSC Rating and was named to the 2025 All-Pro First Team, he officially signed with the NFL's Indianapolis Colts.

NFL Standards in San Antonio

Currently the Defensive Coordinator at Judson University, Coach Sweeney has consistently led units that rank among the nation's best, including Top 5 finishes in pass defense. His coaching is fueled by his own grind as a standout in the AFL and IFL, where he earned multiple Rookie of the Year honors.

At the Vipers, Coach Sweeney is building a culture focused on accountability and pure technique. The mission is simple: develop athletes who prepare with a purpose to earn that next D1 or pro opportunity. By specializing in man-coverage and elite defensive back development, the program ensures that South Texas athletes are coached to the same standards seen on Sundays.

Registration Is Live

NJCP football tryouts and registration for the San Antonio Vipers are now officially open. Athletes in South Texas ready to sharpen their edge and get recruited for JUCO football should visit the league website for enrollment and location details.

“President Trump has entrusted his cabinet to root out waste, fraud, and abuse, and canceling these contracts is an essential step to increasing Americans’ trust in government,” said Secretary Bessent. “Booz Allen failed to implement adequate safeguards to protect sensitive data, including the confidential taxpayer information it had access to through its contracts with the Internal Revenue Service.”

Most notably, between 2018 and 2020, Charles Edward Littlejohn — an employee of Booz Allen Hamilton — stole and leaked the confidential tax returns and return information of hundreds of thousands of taxpayers. To date, the IRS determined that the data breach affected approximately 406,000 taxpayers. Littlejohn has pled guilty to felony charges for disclosing confidential tax information without authorization.

Over 24 seasons at the helm of Dixie College (1982–2005), Coach Cro compiled an extraordinary record of 214 wins, 56 losses, and 1 tie, capturing 17 conference championships and finishing as national runner-up twice. His teams consistently set the standard for excellence, producing 36 NJCAA First-Team All-Americans, nine national rushing leaders, and four NJCAA Players of the Year.

"The NJCAA is the biggest thing outside of Division I football," Coach Croshaw often says—a sentiment he's lived by throughout his career. His passion for developing talent and building character has left an indelible mark on the sport and the communities he's served.

Coach Cro's journey began as a standout player at Yakima Valley Junior College and Weber State, which led to a stint with the Green Bay Packers. His coaching career launched at Dixie College under Tom Ramage, followed by roles under LaVell Edwards at BYU and with Dave and Paul Arslanian at Snow College, where they transformed a struggling program into a nationally ranked powerhouse. He later coached at Northern Arizona University before returning to Dixie College as head coach—bringing his career full circle.

Since retiring, Coach Cro has continued to give back, mentoring local high school athletes and helping them reach the next level. "Helping young men become major college football players—that's what I do best," he says with the same fire that fueled his decades-long career.

Coach Cro's legacy is more than wins and titles—it's about spirit, mentorship, and the enduring belief in the potential of young athletes. His induction into the NJCAA Hall of Fame is a fitting tribute to a life dedicated to the game and the growth of those who play it.

“With today’s action, children with this devastating, degenerative disease will have an FDA-approved treatment option and the potential to live longer,” said Christine Nguyen, M.D., Deputy Director of the Office of Rare Diseases, Pediatrics, Urologic and Reproductive Medicine in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “The FDA will continue to work with the rare disease community to advance drug development for patients with Menkes disease and other rare conditions.”

Menkes disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a genetic defect that impairs a child’s ability to absorb copper. The disease is characterized by seizures, failure to gain weight and grow, developmental delays, and intellectual disability. It leads to abnormalities of the vascular system, bladder, bowel, bones, muscles, and nervous system. Children with classical Menkes (90% of those with the disease) begin to develop symptoms in infancy and typically do not live past three years. It affects approximately one in every 100,000-250,000 live births worldwide and is more common in boys.  

Zycubo is a copper replacement therapy given by subcutaneous injection. It delivers copper in a form that bypasses the genetic defect in intestinal absorption, allowing the body to better use the mineral.

The FDA evaluated Zycubo in two open-label, single-arm clinical trials in pediatric patients treated for up to three years. Overall survival was assessed by comparing treated patients to untreated patients from contemporaneous external control groups. The analysis included 66 treated patients and 17 untreated patients, most of whom were from the United States.

Children who began treatment within four weeks of birth had a 78% reduction in the risk of death compared with untreated patients. Nearly half of early-treated patients survived beyond six years, and some survived more than 12 years. No patients in the untreated control group survived beyond six years. Children who started treatment later than four weeks after birth also experienced a substantial survival benefit.

The most common side effects reported with Zycubo included infections, respiratory problems, seizures, vomiting, fever, anemia and injection site reactions. Because copper can accumulate in the body, patients receiving Zycubo should be closely monitored for potential toxicity.

“This approval marks an unprecedented advance for children with Menkes disease,” said Tracy Beth Hoeg, M.D., Ph.D., Acting Director of CDER. “The company demonstrated a large improvement in overall survival compared with untreated patients, using an innovative trial design that addressed the challenges of studying an ultra-rare disease.”

This application received Priority Review, Fast Track Designation, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, and Orphan Drug Designation. The FDA approved Zycubo for Sentynl Therapeutics.

This is not without risk however – sufficiently advanced quantum computers have the potential to break widely used cryptographic protocols that protect our systems and data. 

G7 CEG Co-Chairs, U.S. Treasury’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection Cory Wilson and the Bank of England’s Executive Director for Supervisory Risk Duncan Mackinnon, said: 

“The introduction of quantum computers that can break our encryption tools presents a significant risk to the safety and soundness of our financial ecosystem. This is something we must address together, and the roadmap guidance will be an important reference for organizations to consider as they prepare their systems and data to be quantum resilient.” 

The G7 CEG’s roadmap outlines several considerations for financial sector stakeholders, authorities and industry about the cryptographic risks associated with quantum computers. The roadmap and its associated timeline are not prescriptive, providing organizations with the flexibility to implement as appropriate for their unique situation. 

The G7 CEG’s membership includes representatives of financial authorities across all G7 countries as well as the European Union. It was founded in 2015 to serve as a multi-year working group that coordinates cybersecurity policy and strategy across the member jurisdictions. In addition to policy coordination, the G7 CEG also acts as a vehicle for information sharing, cooperation, and incident response.

“Our nation will no longer fund radical organizations like the GCF whose goals run contrary to the fact that affordable, reliable energy is fundamental to economic growth and poverty reduction,” said U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.

The Trump Administration is committed to advancing all affordable and reliable sources of energy, which are fundamental to economic growth and poverty reduction. The GCF was established to supplement the objectives of the UNFCCC, and continued participation in the GCF has been determined to no longer be consistent with the Trump Administration’s priorities and goals.

The event brought together young athletes from grades three through eight for a full day of competition, coaching, and community connection. Despite cold weather conditions, the event saw strong attendance throughout the day, supported by local food vendors, announcers, families, and community members who gathered to celebrate youth sports and development.

Led by Carolina Spots Head Coach Jamar Dorival, the initiative highlighted the role of football as a unifying force within the Myrtle Beach community. The event provided young athletes with structured coaching, positive mentorship, and a platform to showcase their talent in an encouraging and supportive environment.

“The energy throughout the day was incredible,” said Coach Dorival. “Seeing so many young athletes competing, learning, and being supported by their families and coaches really showed how powerful sports can be in bringing a community together.”

Coach Dorival also used the opportunity to engage directly with parents and local coaches, sharing NJCP’s long-term vision and introducing the Carolina Spots as a new college preparatory football program coming to the area. Conversations were met with enthusiasm, curiosity, and strong interest in future opportunities for local athletes.

“I had numerous conversations with parents and coaches who were excited about what’s coming,” Coach Dorival added. “Many even asked if their athletes would have the opportunity to play for the Carolina Spots in the future. That level of early interest tells us that the support is already here and growing.”

The event reflects NJCP’s broader mission to invest in communities by developing not only competitive athletes, but responsible young leaders. By establishing consistent community engagement and building trust at the grassroots level, NJCP and the Carolina Spots aim to create long-term impact both on and off the field.

“I’m proud to be part of something as special as NJCP,” Coach Dorival said. “As a league, we’re committed to pouring into our communities, and the support we’re receiving shows that this approach truly matters.”

NJCP plans to continue expanding its presence in Myrtle Beach through the Carolina Spots program, strengthening local partnerships and providing a structured pathway for athletes as they progress through their athletic and personal development.

“President Trump has been clear: We will not allow the illegitimate Maduro regime to profit from exporting oil while it floods the United States with deadly drugs,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “The Treasury Department will continue to implement President Trump’s campaign of pressure on Maduro’s regime.” 

NO LONGER FUELING THE MADURO REGIME 

On January 28, 2019, OFAC designated Venezuela’s state-run oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13850 for operating in the oil sector of the Venezuelan economy, and on August 5, 2019, President Trump took additional action to block PDVSA pursuant to E.O. 13884. Today’s sanctions complement other recent OFAC actions taken against the Maduro regime, including sanctions against PDVSA-linked officials, associates, and vessels on December 11 and December 19.  The following entities are being sanctioned today, and four vessels are being blocked for being property in which these entities have an interest:

• NORD STAR (IMO: 9323596), whose registered owner is Corniola Limited and whose ship manager and operator is Krape Myrtle Co LTD, has transported Venezuelan oil. OFAC is designating Corniola Limited and Krape Myrtle Co LTD pursuant to E.O. 13850 for operating in the oil sector of the Venezuelan economy and is identifying NORD STAR as blocked property in which Corniola Limited and Krape Myrtle Co LTD have an interest.
• ROSALIND a.k.a. LUNAR TIDE (IMO: 9277735), whose registered owner is Winky International Limited, has transported Venezuelan oil. OFAC is designating Winky International Limited pursuant to E.O. 13850 for operating in the oil sector of the Venezuelan economy and is identifying ROSALIND as blocked property in which Winky International Limited has an interest.
• DELLA (IMO: 9227479), whose registered owner is Aries Global Investment LTD, has transported Venezuelan oil.  OFAC is designating Aries Global Investment LTD pursuant to E.O. 13850 for operating in the oil sector of the Venezuelan economy and is identifying DELLA and VALIANT (IMO: 9409247), another oil tanker, as blocked property in which Aries Global Investment LTD has an interest.

SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS

As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated or blocked person described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC.  In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked.  Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of blocked persons. 

Violations of U.S. sanctions may result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties on U.S. and foreign persons.  OFAC may impose civil penalties for sanctions violations on a strict liability basis. OFAC’s Economic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelines provide more information regarding OFAC’s enforcement of U.S. economic sanctions.  In addition, financial institutions and other persons may risk exposure to sanctions for engaging in certain transactions or activities involving designated or otherwise blocked persons.  The prohibitions include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any designated or blocked person, or the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person. 

The power and integrity of OFAC sanctions derive not only from OFAC’s ability to designate and add persons to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List), but also from its willingness to remove persons from the SDN List consistent with the law.  The ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish, but to bring about a positive change in behavior. For information concerning the process for seeking removal from an OFAC list, including the SDN List, or to submit a request, please refer to OFAC’s guidance on Filing a Petition for Removal from an OFAC List.

As NJCP prepares for the 2026–2027 season, league teams nationwide are participating in structured community initiatives that support youth development, civic programs, and local partnerships. These efforts reflect NJCP's belief that football programs should contribute positively beyond competition.

In South Carolina, the NJCP football team, Carolina Spots, has begun a formal collaboration with the City of Myrtle Beach to support volunteer and community service efforts. Led by Head Coach Jamar Dorival, the program is engaging with city officials, youth organizations, and local partners to provide consistent support through service-based involvement.

On December 31, Coach Jamar Dorival will personally participate in a volunteer effort at the All-American Bowl youth football event at Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium in Myrtle Beach. Volunteers will serve during scheduled shifts beginning at 7:30 AM and 1:30 PM, assisting with event operations and supporting youth athletes throughout the day. Lunch will be provided on-site during each volunteer shift.

Coach Dorival's presence underscores NJCP's expectation that leadership starts with direct action. League coaches and staff are encouraged to lead by example by engaging in service opportunities that strengthen relationships and trust within their communities.

These initiatives are part of NJCP's broader commitment to community involvement, which includes partnerships with local schools, public agencies, and youth programs. NJCP teams work to provide mentorship, structure, and positive role models while contributing time and resources to the areas they represent.

NJCP Commissioner Shawn Jones emphasized that community engagement is a foundational element of the league's identity. "NJCP exists to develop responsible young men. That responsibility includes giving back, serving consistently, and being accountable members of the communities we operate in."

With teams operating across the United States, NJCP offers athletes a structured pathway to continue their development while reinforcing values that extend beyond football. Through consistent service and local partnerships, the league continues to demonstrate that building athletes also means building stronger communities.

“Today, Treasury sanctioned individuals who are propping up Nicolás Maduro’s rogue narco-state. We will not allow Venezuela to continue flooding our nation with deadly drugs,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.  “Maduro and his criminal accomplices threaten our hemisphere’s peace and stability. The Trump Administration will continue targeting the networks that prop up his illegitimate dictatorship.”

SANCTIONING MADURO ASSOCIATES AND THEIR FAMILIES

On December 11, 2025, OFAC sanctioned Malpica Flores, a nephew of Maduro’s wife Cilia Flores, pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13692 for being a current or former official of the Government of Venezuela. Malpica Flores, who has been repeatedly linked to corruption at Venezuela’s state-run oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), has leveraged his family connections for his transnational financial operations.

Today, OFAC is designating the following individuals pursuant to E.O. 13850 for being immediate adult family members of Malpica Flores, a person determined to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged in, any transaction or series of transactions involving deceptive practices or corruption and the Government of Venezuela or projects or programs administered by the Government of Venezuela:  Eloisa Flores de Malpica, Malpica Flores’s mother and the sister of Cilia Flores; Carlos Evelio Malpica Torrealba, his father; Iriamni Malpica Flores, his sister; Damaris del Carmen Hurtado Perez, his wife; and Erica Patricia Malpica Hurtado, his adult daughter. 

In addition, today’s action builds on OFAC’s December 11, 2025 designation of Panamanian businessman Ramon Carretero by designating the following individuals pursuant to E.O. 13850 for being immediate family members of Ramon Carretero, a person determined to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged in, any transaction or series of transactions involving deceptive practices or corruption and the Government of Venezuela or projects or programs administered by the Government of Venezuela:  Roberto Carretero Napolitano and Vicente Luis Carretero Napolitano.  Ramon Carretero has transacted extensively with the Maduro regime, including the family of Malpica Flores. 

SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS

As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated or blocked persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC.  In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked.  Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of blocked persons.

At the heart of NJCP's mission is a simple but powerful belief: football is a tool, not just for athletic development, but for building character, responsibility, and purpose. Through structured community service programs, NJCP athletes will engage directly with local organizations, schools, and civic projects—learning what it means to lead with heart and give back with humility.

"We're not just preparing these young men for college football," said Shawn Jones, Founder and President of NJCP. "We're preparing them to be the kind of men who lift up their communities, who understand that leadership starts with service."

From mentoring younger students and volunteering at food banks to organizing neighborhood cleanups and supporting local nonprofits, NJCP athletes will be active participants in the communities they represent. These experiences are more than just résumé builders—they're life lessons in empathy, teamwork, and civic pride.

But NJCP believes this is a two-way street.

"Communities have a vital role to play in this journey," Jones added. "When local businesses, schools, and leaders invest in these young men—whether through mentorship, sponsorship, or simply showing up—they're helping shape the next generation of fathers, coaches, entrepreneurs, and change-makers."

The league is calling on community partners across its East and West Coast divisions to join the movement. Whether it's hosting service events, offering internships, or providing mentorship opportunities, NJCP welcomes collaboration that reinforces its mission: to develop not just elite athletes, but exceptional citizens.

About NJCP Football League  

The NJCP Football League is a national platform for college prep athletes, offering high-level competition, exposure to college scouts, and a holistic development model that emphasizes education, leadership, and community service. With East and West Coast divisions culminating in the NJCP National Championship, the league is redefining what it means to build a legacy through sport.

Silver Spring, MD / CRWE PRESS RELEASE / December 12, 2025 - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved two new oral medicines to treat a common sexually transmitted infection called gonorrhea.

The FDA today approved Nuzolvence (zoliflodacin) granules that dissolve in water. This medicine can treat uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea in adults and children 12 years and older who weigh at least 77 pounds. Yesterday, the FDA approved Blujepa (gepotidacin) oral tablets for the same condition in patients 12 years and older who weigh at least 99 pounds. This medicine is for patients who have few or no other treatment choices because of limited clinical safety data. Blujepa was first approved in March 2025 to treat urinary tract infections.

“These approvals mark a significant milestone for treatment options for patients with uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea,” said Adam Sherwat, M.D., director of the Office of Infectious Diseases in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).

Gonorrhea is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae (N. gonorrhoeae). Uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea refers to a localized infection of the urethra or cervix that has not spread to other areas of the body. It can cause painful urination, genital discharge and swelling. If left untreated, it could result in a more widespread infection of the reproductive organs and infertility. In the past, doctors treated this infection with a combination of a shot (ceftriaxone) and an oral medicine (azithromycin). More recently, treatment guidelines recommend just a single shot of ceftriaxone.

“The availability of additional treatment options is of particular importance given the global rise in gonococcal drug resistance,” said Peter Kim, M.D., M.S., director of the CDER Division of Anti-infectives.

Researchers tested Nuzolvence in a study with 930 patients who had uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea. Two-thirds of patients received a single 3-gram dose of Nuzolvence dissolved in water. The other third received the standard treatment of ceftriaxone shot plus azithromycin pill. The study measured how well the medicines cleared the bacteria 4 to 8 days after treatment. The study showed 91% of patients who took Nuzolvence were cured and 96% of patients who received the standard treatment were cured. This showed that Nuzolvence’s effectiveness was comparable to the standard treatment.

Researchers tested Blujepa in a study with 628 patients. Half received two 3,000 mg doses of Blujepa taken 10 to 12 hours apart. The other half received the standard treatment. The study measured bacterial clearance 4 to 10 days after treatment. The study showed 93% of patients who took Blujepa were cured and 91% of patients who received standard treatment were cured. This showed that Blujepa’s effectiveness was comparable to the standard treatment.

The most common side effects shown in the Nuzolvence pivotal study were low white blood cell counts, headache, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea. Animal studies showed this medicine might cause birth defects, pregnancy loss, or male fertility problems, so there are important safety precautions to follow that are included in labeling. Patients shouldn't take this medicine if they're allergic to it or taking certain other medications that might interact with it.

The most common side effects shown in Blujepa pivotal study were diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, gas, dizziness, soft stools, headache, tiredness, and excessive sweating. This medicine can affect heart rhythm and certain brain chemicals, and it may cause allergic reactions in some people. Blujepa comes with certain warnings and precautions, such as for QTc prolongation, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, and allergic reactions.

The FDA granted both Nuzolvence and Blujepa Fast Track, Qualified Infectious Disease Product and Priority Review designations for the uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea indication.

FDA approval for Nozolvence was granted to Entasis Therapeutics and approval for Blujepa was granted to GSK.

With two competitive divisions—Eastern Conference and Western Conference—the NJCP Football League culminates in the prestigious NJCP National Championship, where top teams from each Conference will battle for national glory. But the league's mission goes far deeper than wins and trophies.

"Our goal is to give young men a real shot at their dreams," said Shawn Jones, Founder and President of NJCP Football League, "but also to prepare them for the bigger game—life. We're building leaders, not just athletes."

The NJCP Football League is designed to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity. By providing high-level coaching, exposure to college scouts, and a structured, competitive environment, the league gives overlooked or under-resourced athletes a chance to shine on a national stage.

Beyond the field, NJCP is committed to holistic development. Through mentorship programs, leadership workshops, and community engagement initiatives, the league emphasizes character, responsibility, and service. Players are taught to be assets in their communities—role models who lead with integrity and purpose.

"This league is about more than football," said Coach Greg Croshaw, NJCAA Hall of Fame Coach and member of the NJCP Board of Advisors. "It's about equipping young men with the tools to succeed in college, in their careers, and in their communities."

The NJCP Football League is currently accepting player registrations for its inaugural season. Tryouts and regional showcases will begin in early spring, with the season kickoff slated for August 2026.

Avance was studied in patients with sensory nerve discontinuities and additional investigations of mixed and motor nerve discontinuities.

“Avance can bridge gaps in damaged nerves and support nerve function restoration,” said Vinay Prasad, M.D., M.P.H., Chief Medical and Scientific Officer and Director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. “Current treatment options, such as autografts, have limitations, so this approval addresses a significant unmet medical need for patients with peripheral nerve injuries.”

Unlike some current treatments that require surgeons to remove healthy nerve tissue from another part of the patient's body (creating a second surgical site), Avance is made using nerve tissue from deceased donors (cadavers) that has been specially processed to remove cells while preserving the natural structure that helps nerves regrow.

“Avance eliminates the need for patients to undergo additional surgery to harvest their own nerve tissue for repair,” said Vijay Kumar, M.D., Acting Director of the Office of Therapeutic Products, CBER. “The agency has exercised regulatory flexibility in expanding the indication for Avance to motor and mixed nerve injuries, and sensory nerves with gaps exceeding 25 mm, through the Accelerated Approval pathway based on a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The accelerated approval is subject to the requirement that the applicant conduct and submit the results of confirmatory clinical trials.”

The study of Avance’s efficacy compared implantation of Avance to collagen nerve cuffs. The study met its primary endpoint for the return of sensory function, showing Avance’s statistical non-inferiority to comparator nerve cuff.

The most common adverse reactions reported in clinical trials were procedural pain and increased sensitivity to sensory stimuli, such as touch, temperature, and pain (hyperesthesia). Patients should be monitored for procedural complications including pain, hyperesthesia, infection, implant site swelling, adhesions, hypertrophic scar formation, impaired motor or sensory function, bleeding and neuroma formation. Avance is made from human cadaveric tissue so it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents. No cases of transmission of viral diseases have ever been identified for Avance. All infections thought to be transmitted by Avance should be reported to the manufacturer.

FDA approval for Avance was granted to Axogen Corporation.

We’re seeking proposals to replace the current en route and terminal systems with a single, state-of-the-art platform for air traffic control called the Common Automation Platform (CAP). This is part of U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy’s plan to build a brand new air traffic control system. 

“Under this Administration’s leadership, we’re going to give our hard-working air traffic controllers the technology they deserve at their fingertips,” said FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford. “CAP will strengthen safety, reduce delays, and ensure America’s airspace is prepared for the future.” 

The FAA currently uses En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) and Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) systems to track and control aircraft.  ERAM manages high-altitude flights at all 20 Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC), providing controllers with real-time data for safe and efficient aircraft navigation through en route airspace. STARS tracks and coordinates flights in Terminal Radar Approach Controls (TRACONs) facilities and air traffic control towers, and is used in sequencing, issuing conflict alerts and for weather updates for arriving and departing aircraft. 

The CAP would unify these platforms into a single, modern and adaptable solution for air traffic controllers. This initiative will enhance resiliency and stability in the National Airspace System (NAS), allowing controllers to organize airspace more efficiently, and addressing the growing complexity and evolving demands of the future NAS.  

Those interested should visit SAM.gov to learn about our request for information.   

The FAA previously announced Requests for Information (RFIs) for a runway safety lighting system and vendor challenge to modernize the air traffic flow system. A Prime Integrator to manage the building of a brand new air traffic control system will be announced soon.

“The United States and Mexico are working together to combat money laundering in Mexico’s gambling sector. Our message to those supporting the cartels is clear: You will be held accountable,” said Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John K. Hurley.  “We thank the Government of Mexico for its strong partnership in this effort.”

OFAC today sanctioned 27 individuals and entities, and FinCEN proposed a special measure to sever 10 Mexico-based gambling establishments’ access to the U.S. financial system due to money laundering concerns.

OFAC SANCTIONS TARGETING THE HYSA ORGANIZED CRIME GROUP 

The Hysa Organized Crime Group (HOCG), which includes family members Luftar Hysa (Luftar), Arben Hysa (Arben), Ramiz Hysa (Ramiz), Fatos Hysa (Fatos), and Fabjon Hysa (Fabjon), has used its influence through its investments in, or control over, various Mexico-based businesses—including gambling establishments and restaurants—to launder the proceeds of narcotics trafficking.  The HOCG is believed to operate with the consent of the Sinaloa Cartel, which maintains criminal control over much of the territory where the group conducts its activities.

Luftar, based between Mexico and Canada, is often seen in public media as a leading member of the Hysa family, providing public interviews on his family’s businesses in Mexico and Europe.  Luftar, Fatos, Arben, and Fabjon have worked closely with a U.S. person to launder money, including the movement of bulk cash from Mexico to the United States, where the U.S. person’s company was used to launder the funds.  Luftar and Arben have utilized a Europe-based entity to enrich themselves from laundering illicit funds belonging to suspected narcotraffickers. Luftar also owns or directs several companies used by the HOCG.

Arben owns or directs several companies used by the HOCG in Mexico.  Arben has also been involved in the smuggling of bulk cash to the United States for the purposes of money laundering, as well as the use of gambling establishments and luxury restaurants in Mexico to launder drug money.

Ramiz has been involved in the use of gambling establishments and luxury restaurants in Mexico as fronts for laundering the proceeds of the sale of narcotics.

Fatos, alongside Luftar, Arben, and Fabjon, was involved in smuggling bulk cash into the United States for the purpose of laundering money.  Fatos and Fabjon were also involved in the use of a Europe-based entity to enrich themselves from laundering illicit funds belonging to suspected narcotraffickers. 

With today’s action, OFAC is also targeting several individuals and entities within HOCG’s network. Mexico-based Entretenimiento Palmero, S.A. de C.V., owned by Arben, is central to the HOCG’s operations. Mexican national Gilberto Lopez Lopez acts as its commissioner. Albanian national but Mexico-based Eselda Baku (formerly Eselda Hysa), Ramiz’s daughter, sits on its Board of Directors. Additional companies targeted with this action include:

• Bliri S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
• Cucina Del Porto S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
• Diversiones Los Mochis S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
• El Arte de Cocinas y Beber S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
• Entretenimiento Villahermosa S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
• Entretenimiento Y Espectaculos B.C. S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
• Grupo Internacional Canhysamex S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
• H Hidrocarburos S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
• Hysa Forwarders S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
• LH Pro-Gaming S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)

• Operadora Alejil S.A. De C.V. (Mexico)

• Rosetta Gaming S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
• Hysa Holdings Inc (Canada)
• Rosetta Gaming Inc (Canada)
• Rosetta Gaming SP ZOO (Poland) 

Treasury is designating the Hysa Organized Crime Group pursuant to E.O. 13581, as amended, for being a foreign person that constitutes a significant transnational criminal organization.

Treasury is designating Luftar Hysa, Arben Hysa, Fatos Hysa, Ramiz Hysa, and Fabjon Hysa pursuant to E.O. 13581, as amended, for being owned or controlled by or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, the Hysa Organized Crime Group.

Treasury is designating Entretenimiento Y Espectaculos B.C. S.A. de C.V., Hysa Holdings Inc, and Rosetta Gaming Inc, pursuant to E.O. 13581, as amended, for being owned or controlled by or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Luftar Hysa.

Treasury is designating Diversiones Los Mochis S.A. de C.V., Entretenimiento Palmero S.A. de C.V., Entretenimiento Villahermosa S.A. de C.V., Grupo Internacional Canhysamex S.A. de C.V., H Hidrocarburos S.A. De C.V., and Procesadora De Alimentos S.A. De C.V. pursuant to E.O. 13581, as amended, for being owned or controlled by or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Arben Hysa.

Treasury is designating Gilberto Lopez Lopez and Eselda Baku pursuant to E.O. 13581, as amended, for being owned or controlled by or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Entretenimiento Palmero S.A. de C.V.

Treasury is designating Bliri S.A. de C.V., Hysa Forwarders S.A. de C.V., LH Pro-Gaming S.A. De C.V., and Operadora de Empresas LH S.A. de C.V., and Rosetta Gaming S.A. de C.V. pursuant to E.O. 13581, as amended, for being owned or controlled by or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Arben Hysa and Luftar Hysa.

Treasury is designating Cucina del Porto S.A. de C.V., El Arte de Cocinas y Beber S.A. de C.V., and Operadora Alejil S.A. de C.V. pursuant to E.O. 13581, as amended, for being owned or controlled by or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Gilberto Lopez Lopez.

SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS

As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons is blocked and must be reported to OFAC.  In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked.  Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of blocked persons. 

Violations of U.S. sanctions may result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties on U.S. and foreign persons.  OFAC may impose civil penalties for sanctions violations on a strict liability basis.  OFAC’s Economic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelines provide more information regarding OFAC’s enforcement of U.S. economic sanctions. In addition, financial institutions and other persons may risk exposure to sanctions for engaging in certain transactions or activities involving designated or otherwise blocked persons.  The prohibitions include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any designated or blocked person, or the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person. 

Furthermore, engaging in certain transactions involving the persons designated today may risk the imposition of secondary sanctions on participating foreign financial institutions.  OFAC can prohibit or impose strict conditions on opening or maintaining, in the United States, a correspondent account or a payable-through account of a foreign financial institution that knowingly conducts or facilitates any significant transaction on behalf of a person who is designated pursuant to the relevant authority.

The power and integrity of OFAC sanctions derive not only from OFAC’s ability to designate and add persons to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List), but also from its willingness to remove persons from the SDN List consistent with the law.  The ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish, but to bring about a positive change in behavior.  For information concerning the process for seeking removal from an OFAC list, including the SDN List, or to submit a request, please refer to OFAC’s guidance on Filing a Petition for Removal from an OFAC List.

FINCEN PROPOSES SPECIAL MEASURE TO CUT OFF 10 GAMBLING ESTABLISHMENTS FROM THE U.S. FINANCIAL SYSTEM 

Concurrently, and in coordination with OFAC and the Government of Mexico, FinCEN issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), pursuant to section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act, identifying transactions involving 10 Mexico-based gambling establishments as a class of transactions of primary money laundering concern.  The HOCG operates these gambling establishments, which for years have been used to facilitate money laundering that benefits the Sinaloa Cartel.  The gambling establishments are:

• Emine Casino, located in San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, Mexico
• Casino Mirage, located in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico
• Midas Casino, located Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico
• Midas Casino, located in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico
• Midas Casino, located in Guamuchil, Sinaloa, Mexico
• Midas Casino, located in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico
• Midas Casino, located in Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico
• Palermo Casino, located in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico
• Skampa Casino, located in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
• Skampa Casino, located in Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico

To address the risks presented by these gambling establishments, FinCEN proposes in the NPRM the imposition of a special measure that would:  (1) prohibit covered financial institutions from opening or maintaining a correspondent account for any foreign banking institution if such account is used to process transactions involving any of the gambling establishments; and (2) require covered financial institutions to apply special due diligence to their correspondent accounts that is reasonably designed to guard against the use of such accounts to process transactions involving any of the gambling establishments. 

FinCEN’s NPRM, as submitted to the Federal Register, is available here. 

Comments on the NPRM may be submitted through https://www.regulations.gov.

“Since President Gustavo Petro came to power, cocaine production in Colombia has exploded to the highest rate in decades, flooding the United States and poisoning Americans,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.  “President Petro has allowed drug cartels to flourish and refused to stop this activity.  Today, President Trump is taking strong action to protect our nation and make clear that we will not tolerate the trafficking of drugs into our nation.” 

Today’s action was taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14059, which targets foreign persons involved in the global illicit drug trade.  

GUSTAVO PETRO

Colombia remains the world’s top producer and exporter of cocaine. Cocaine from Colombia is often purchased by Mexican cartels, who then smuggle it into the United States via the southern border.  It is a scheduled substance that is a significant drug threat to the United States, despite Gustavo Petro’s recent, flippant comparison of the use of the drug to whiskey. 

Gustavo Petro is a former guerilla member who was elected to the Colombian presidency in 2022.  He has provided narco-terrorist organizations with benefits under the auspices of his “total peace” plan, among other policies, which have led to record highs of coca cultivation and cocaine production. On September 15, 2025, because of Gustavo Petro and his cronies’ actions, the President determined Colombia is a major drug transit or major illicit drug producing country and that it is “failing demonstrably” to uphold its drug control responsibilities. 

Gustavo Petro’s erratic behavior has also driven Colombia further apart from its partners in additional ways.  In 2024, he shared confidential information obtained via secure anti-money laundering communication channels, threatening the integrity of the international financial system and leading to the suspension of Colombia’s Financial Intelligence Unit from The Egmont Group.  He also has allied himself with the narco-terrorist regime of Nicolas Maduro Moros and the Cartel de Los Soles. 

Gustavo Petro is being designated today pursuant to E.O. 14059 for having engaged in, or attempted to engage in, activities or transactions that have materially contributed to, or pose a significant risk of materially contributing to, the international proliferation of illicit drugs or their means of production.

TARGETING GUSTAVO PETRO’S ASSOCIATES AND ENABLERS 

Gustavo Petro’s eldest son, Nicolas Fernando Petro Burgos (Nicolas Petro), is considered to be his political heir.  He has served as Gustavo Petro’s campaign manager in Barranquilla.  In 2023, Nicolas Petro was arrested in Colombia for money laundering and illicit enrichment over allegations that he funneled money received from drug traffickers into Gustavo Petro’s “total peace” efforts and election campaign.  Nicolas Petro later admitted to receiving dirty money from a person formerly involved in narcotics trafficking and son of a contractor on trial for financing paramilitaries. 

First Lady Veronica del Socorro Alcocer Garcia was once unconstitutionally appointed by Gustavo Petro to serve as an ambassador “on a special mission.”  A Colombian court later annulled the appointment, deciding that the appointment violated Article 126 of the Colombian Constitution, which prohibits the Colombian president from appointing his spouse or permanent partner. 

Armando Alberto Benedetti Villaneda (Armando Benedetti) has been appointed to multiple high-ranking positions within the Colombian government by Gustavo Petro.  In 2023, audio recordings of Armando Benedetti were leaked in which he discusses his involvement in campaign financing and obtaining votes for Gustavo Petro.  Most recently, in February 2025, Gustavo Petro named Armando Benedetti as Colombia’s Minister of the Interior.   

Nicolas Fernando Petro Burgos, Veronica del Socorro Alcocer Garcia, and Armando Benedetti are being designated today pursuant to E.O. 14059 for having provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services in support of, Gustavo Petro.  

SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS

As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated or blocked persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC.  In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked. Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of blocked persons.

Violations of U.S. sanctions may result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties on U.S. and foreign persons.  OFAC may impose civil penalties for sanctions violations on a strict liability basis.  OFAC’s Economic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelines provide more information regarding OFAC’s enforcement of U.S. economic sanctions. In addition, financial institutions and other persons may risk exposure to sanctions for engaging in certain transactions or activities involving designated or otherwise blocked persons.  The prohibitions include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any designated or blocked person, or the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person. 

The power and integrity of OFAC sanctions derive not only from OFAC’s ability to designate and add persons to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List), but also from its willingness to remove persons from the SDN List consistent with the law.  The ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish, but to bring about a positive change in behavior.  For information concerning the process for seeking removal from an OFAC list, including the SDN List, or to submit a request, please refer to OFAC’s guidance on Filing a Petition for Removal from an OFAC List.

“Now is the time to stop the killing and for an immediate ceasefire,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.  “Given President Putin’s refusal to end this senseless war, Treasury is sanctioning Russia’s two largest oil companies that fund the Kremlin’s war machine.

Washington D.C. / CRWE PRESS RELEASE / September 25, 2025 -  The Federal Trade Commission has secured a historic order with Amazon.com, Inc., as well as Senior Vice President Neil Lindsay and Vice President Jamil Ghani, settling allegations that Amazon enrolled millions of consumers in Prime subscriptions without their consent, and knowingly made it difficult for consumers to cancel. Amazon will be required to pay a $1 billion civil penalty, provide $1.5 billion in refunds back to consumers harmed by their deceptive Prime enrollment practices, and cease unlawful enrollment and cancellation practices for Prime.

“Today, the Trump-Vance FTC made history and secured a record-breaking, monumental win for the millions of Americans who are tired of deceptive subscriptions that feel impossible to cancel,” said FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson. “The evidence showed that Amazon used sophisticated subscription traps designed to manipulate consumers into enrolling in Prime, and then made it exceedingly hard for consumers to end their subscription. Today, we are putting billions of dollars back into Americans’ pockets, and making sure Amazon never does this again. The Trump-Vance FTC is committed to fighting back when companies try to cheat ordinary Americans out of their hard-earned pay.”

The FTC has charged Amazon and several Amazon executives with knowingly misleading millions of consumers into enrolling in Prime, violating the FTC Act and the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA). The FTC alleged Amazon created confusing and deceptive user interfaces to lead consumers to enroll in Prime without their knowledge. Compounding these deceptive enrollment practices, Amazon also created a complex and difficult process for consumers seeking to cancel their Prime subscription, with the goal of preventing consumers from cancelling Prime. Amazon documents discovered in the lead up to trial showed that Amazon executives and employees knowingly discussed these unlawful enrollment and cancellation issues, with comments like “subscription driving is a bit of a shady world” and leading consumers to unwanted subscriptions is “an unspoken cancer.” 

The historic monetary judgment contained in the settlement is only the third ROSCA case in which the FTC has obtained a civil penalty. It includes:

• a $1 billion civil penalty, which is the largest ever in a case involving an FTC rule violation;
• $1.5 billion in consumer redress, providing full relief for the estimated 35 million consumers impacted by unwanted Prime enrollment or deferred cancellation. This is the second-highest restitution award ever obtained by FTC action.

Additionally, the settlement requires Amazon to stop their unlawful practices and make meaningful changes to the Prime enrollment and cancellation flows by:

• including a clear and conspicuous button for customers to decline Prime. Amazon can no longer have a button that says, “No, I don’t want Free Shipping.”
• including clear and conspicuous disclosures about all material terms of Prime during the Prime enrollment process, such as the cost, the date and frequency of charges to consumers, whether the subscription auto-renews, and cancellation procedures.
• creating an easy way for consumers to cancel Prime, using the same method that consumers used to sign up. The process cannot be difficult, costly, or time-consuming and must be available using the same method that consumers used to sign up; and
• paying for an independent, third-party supervisor to monitor Amazon’s compliance with the consumer redress distribution process.

The Commission vote approving the stipulated final order was 3-0. The FTC filed the proposed order in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.

NOTE: Stipulated final orders have the force of law when approved and signed by the District Court judge.

The Federal Trade Commission works to promote competition and protect and educate consumers. The FTC will never demand money, make threats, tell you to transfer money, or promise you a prize.

"Since taking over the Department, I pledged to help place more of the best and brightest Americans into our towers. These latest numbers show our supercharge effort is continuing to hit milestones, and we are making progress on that promise," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. "Our work is just getting started. This Department will continue to use every tool at our disposal to chip away at decades of controller staffing declines because the American people are counting on us."

"Thanks to Secretary Duffy’s leadership, we are hiring controllers at a record pace," said FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford. "These are the men and women who keep our skies safe and it’s important to invest in their success as we’re building a modern, resilient air traffic system the American people can rely on for decades to come."

Secretary Duffy’s supercharge effort is on track to hire at least 8,900 new air traffic controllers through 2028, including more than 2,200 in FY26.

Additional Information:

In February, Secretary Duffy announced plans to supercharge hiring at the FAA Academy. The FAA has received more than 10,000 applications, referring more than 8,300 to our aptitude testing. Under Secretary Duffy’s leadership, the FAA streamlined the hiring process, accelerating the time-to-hire for these critical positions by shaving more than five months off the old process.

The FAA is focused on filling every seat at its rigorous FAA Academy – 600 in August alone, exceeding July’s record of 550 trainees, the highest number of students in FAA history.

The FAA is recruiting the best and the brightest, reducing training times, retaining experienced controllers and working to allow America’s controllers to have the world’s most advanced technology at their fingertips.

LAS VEGAS, NV / CRWE PRESS RELEASE / September 18, 2025 - The Federal Trade Commission and seven states sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster for tacitly coordinating with brokers and allowing them to harvest millions of dollars worth of tickets in the primary market. Live Nation and Ticketmaster then sell the illegally harvested tickets at a substantial markup in the secondary market, causing consumers to pay significantly more than the face value of the ticket. 

The FTC further alleged in a complaint that California-based Ticketmaster LLC and its parent company Live Nation Entertainment, Inc., (collectively “Ticketmaster”) deceived artists and consumers by engaging in bait-and-switch pricing through advertising lower prices for tickets than what consumers must pay to purchase tickets; deceptively claimed to impose strict limits on the number of tickets that consumers could purchase for an event, even though ticket brokers routinely and substantially exceeded those limits; and sold millions of tickets, often at much higher cost to consumers, on its resale platform that those brokers obtained in excess of artists’ ticket limits.

“President Donald Trump made it clear in his March Executive Order that the federal government must protect Americans from being ripped off when they buy tickets to live events,” said FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson. “American live entertainment is the best in the world and should be accessible to all of us. It should not cost an arm and a leg to take the family to a baseball game or attend your favorite musician’s show. The Trump-Vance FTC is working hard to ensure that fans have a shot at buying fair-priced tickets, and today’s lawsuit is a monumental step in that direction.”

Ticketmaster is the leading provider of tickets for concerts—controlling about 80% or more of major concert venues’ primary ticketing—and it also has a growing share of ticket resales in the secondary market. From 2019 to 2024 alone, consumers spent more than $82.6 billion purchasing tickets from Ticketmaster.

The FTC alleges that in public, Ticketmaster maintains that its business model is at odds with brokers that routinely exceed ticket limits. But in private, Ticketmaster acknowledged that its business model and bottom line benefit from brokers preventing ordinary Americans from purchasing tickets to the shows they want to see at the prices artists set.

The FTC’s complaint against Ticketmaster alleges that:

• Despite implementing security measures, Ticketmaster is aware that brokers routinely bypass such measures by creating thousands of Ticketmaster accounts and using proxy IP addresses in order to purchase event tickets.
• Ticketmaster nevertheless allows brokers to post these illegally obtained tickets for resale on its platform, then profits from the additional fees and markups it unilaterally adds to the resale tickets.
• In fact, a senior Ticketmaster executive admitted in an internal email that copied Live Nation leadership, that the companies “turn a blind eye as a matter of policy” to brokers’ violations of posted ticket limits. For example, an internal review showed that just five brokers controlled 6,345 Ticketmaster accounts and possessed 246,407 concert tickets to 2,594 events.
• Ticketmaster and Live Nation even offer technological support to brokers through a software platform called TradeDesk, which enables brokers to track and aggregate tickets purchased from multiple Ticketmaster accounts into a single interface for simpler resale management. Through TradeDesk, Ticketmaster can identify which high-volume brokers are exceeding ticket limits through the use of hundreds, or even thousands, of Ticketmaster accounts.
• The companies also have consistently declined to deploy additional technology that would more effectively prevent brokers from evading ticket limits because such tactics would decrease their revenue, according to internal company documents. For example, the company in 2021 opted against using third-party identity verification because it was “too effective.”
• In addition, Ticketmaster deceived the American people by advertising list prices for tickets that were substantially lower than the actual cost consumers paid after fees and markups were added. The FTC alleged that Ticketmaster hid the mandatory fees, which are as high as 44% of the cost of the ticket, that it didn’t add the fees to the price of tickets until the very end of the transaction, and still failed to clearly detail the extra fees before consumers paid for the tickets. The fees totaled $16.4 billion from 2019-2024.
• Despite publicly claiming that they support consumers knowing the “full cost of their tickets from the start,” company executives acknowledged internally that Ticketmaster engaged in deceptive pricing and deliberately continued that approach after internal research showed consumers were less likely to purchase tickets when they are informed of the true cost upfront.

The FTC alleges that these practices violate the FTC Act’s prohibition on deceptive acts or practices in the marketplace and the Better Online Ticket Sales Act. The FTC is seeking civil penalties against Ticketmaster and any additional monetary relief that that the court finds appropriate.

The Commission vote authorizing the staff to file the complaint was 2-0-1, with Commissioner Melissa Holyoak recused. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the named defendants are violating or are about to violate the law and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The case will be decided by the court.

The lead staffers on this matter are Elizabeth C. Scott, Taylor H. Arana, and Claire E.W. Stewart from the FTC’s Midwest Regional Office.

The Attorneys General of Virginia, Utah, Florida, Tennessee, Nebraska, Illinois and Colorado joined the FTC in bringing this action.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Prescott, Arizona, campus is the ninth school to provide the same thorough curriculum and advanced training technology that is offered at the FAA’s Air Traffic Controller Academy in Oklahoma City. It’s the first program authorized in Arizona.  

“We’re taking aggressive action at the FAA to recruit the best and brightest into our controller workforce by making the training process more efficient than ever. These jobs are critical to keeping our skies safe and with the expansion of our training capabilities through Enhanced AT-CTI schools, we are bolstering our aviation workforce and ushering in a higher volume of controllers beyond our previous capabilities,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy.

“We’re excited to partner with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on its second campus to strengthen our controller workforce and pipeline,” said FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford. “The safety of the National Airspace System is our number one priority, and the Enhanced AT-CTI program will help build the next generation of air traffic controllers.”  

“Having both Air Traffic Management programs at Embry-Riddle approved for this critical FAA initiative to fill the air traffic controller pipeline demonstrates the high level of training and education Embry-Riddle provides,” said Embry-Riddle President P. Barry Butler, Ph.D. “We are proud to see our highly skilled, professional graduates immediately join the controller ranks to keep air traffic moving safely and efficiently.”  

During the latest Supercharge hiring campaign that closed on March 17, we received more than 10,000 applications. More than 8,300 of those were referred to testing. Our focus is to get the best and the brightest into the academy and make sure every seat is filled for the upcoming classes. The FAA has expanded onsite Academy training by nearly 30 percent. August saw the highest number of Academy students in training in FAA’s history – over 600 students.  

Additional Information:
Enhanced AT-CTI school students must pass the ATSA, meet the FAA’s medical and security requirements, and pass performance verifications to receive an official endorsement certificate. After meeting these requirements, these graduates report directly to an FAA facility to begin their training.      

This is different than the Standard AT-CTI, where graduates go to the FAA Academy but can bypass the introductory Air Traffic Basics Course.        

The FAA also has a year-round hiring opportunity for experienced controllers from the military and private industry and is enhancing training with modernized simulators to help get new hires through more efficiently.

Schools interested in becoming an E-CTI school can continue to submit applications online year-round.
