Attorney General Jones

Attorney General Jones of Virginia has come out against a Department of Homeland Security rule that would fast-track asylum seekers into removal proceedings without giving them an interview. The Attorney General's office calls the rule unlawful, arguing it denies asylum seekers a proper chance to have their claims heard before being removed from the country.

A group of state attorneys general, including Jay Jones, is calling on Congress to rein in artificial intelligence research. The coalition wants federal lawmakers to establish stronger oversight of rapidly advancing AI development. The move highlights growing concern among state legal officers about the risks posed by unchecked AI systems and their push for Congress to act rather than leaving regulation to the states or industry.
