Trump administration to scrap police reform measures in some US cities
The justice department announcement comes just days before the fifth anniversary of the death of George Floyd.

The Trump administration said it will roll back Biden-era police reform efforts in cities where there has been controversy over high-profile police killings and brutality.
The US justice department said on Wednesday it will be dismissing oversight agreements reached with the police departments in Louisville, Kentucky and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
It will also be scrapping investigations into police constitutional violations in six other cities, including Phoenix and Memphis.
The announcement comes just days before the fifth anniversary of the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in 2020 after being arrested in Minneapolis, sparking protests and a national reckoning on racial inequality
Investigations into several other police departments will also be closed.
The Department of Justice under former President Joe Biden, led by then-attorney general Merrick Garland, had opened civil investigations into 12 state and local law enforcement agencies since 2021.
Four of those - in Minneapolis, Louisville, Phoenix and Lexington, Mississippi - were completed, and issued reports of systemic police misconduct.
The investigations were a result of mounting public pressure to address instances of police brutality after several high-profile cases of police killings of black Americans, which led to accusations of systemic racism against law enforcement agencies across the US.
Among those cases are the deaths of Mr Floyd and Breonna Taylor, a hospital worker who was shot multiple times and killed in Louisville as officers stormed her home in "no-knock" raid in 2020.
