Defendant Struck and Pulled Down Officer’s Gas Mask
WASHINGTON – An Ohio man pleaded guilty on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023, to a felony charge for his actions during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. His actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the 2020 presidential election.
Clifford Mackrell, 22, of Wellington, Ohio, pleaded guilty in the District of Columbia to one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers. In his plea agreement, Mackrell admitted that he forcibly assaulted a U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) officer. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly scheduled a sentencing hearing for March 5, 2023.
According to court documents, Mackrell traveled from his home in Ohio to Washington, D.C., to participate in the January 6 political rally at the Ellipse. At the rally, Mackrell wore a red shirt covered by a heavy blue-toned, striped jacket and heavy tan-colored gloves. He also carried a black backpack and donned a gas mask. Following the speeches, he marched to the Capitol.
Around 2:30 p.m., Mackrell positioned himself on the front line of rioters on the west front of the U.S. Capitol building. While on the front line of rioters, he engaged with and assaulted law enforcement officers from both the USCP and the Metropolitan Police Department who were on a line attempting to hold back the mob.
At 2:30 p.m., Mackrell pushed back barricades with other rioters, forcing law enforcement to abandon their line and retreat closer to the Capitol building to form a new protective line without the use of barricades.
While there, between 2:28 p.m. and 2:35 p.m., Mackrell engaged in multiple assaults and unlawful conduct, which included striking and pushing officers who were engaged in and assisting officers of the United States in the performance of official duties. Specifically, Mackrell attempted to push an MPD officer, then successfully struck and pulled down the officer’s gas mask as the officer tried to help hold a line against rioters. In his plea agreement, Mackrell admitted that when he struck the officer and pulled down the officer’s gas mask, he knew the officer was engaged in the performance of official duties.
In another instance, Mackrell helped push a piece of what appeared to be plywood into a line of officers, pushing them off the protective line. When the plywood fell, another rioter pushed an officer to the ground. Mackrell then physically confronted other law enforcement officers on the front line by pushing them.
The FBI arrested Mackrell in Wellington on Mar. 17, 2021.
This case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section. Valuable assistance was provided by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio.
The case is being investigated by the FBI Cleveland Field Office, and the FBI’s Washington Field Office. Valuable assistance was provided by the Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Capitol Police.
In the 33 months since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 1,100 individuals have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol, including more than 400 individuals charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement, a felony. The investigation remains ongoing.
Cold-case investigators are taking a fresh look at a string of sexual attacks on school-age girls in the early 2000s, and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is seeking the public’s help to bring the assailant to justice.
“This predator struck multiple counties in at least two states – behavior that suggests more victims might still be out there,” Yost said. “We urge them and anyone else with knowledge of similar attacks to contact our investigators. Your tips could solve this vicious crime spree.”
The Cold Case Unit at Yost’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) is concentrating on seven sexual assaults from 2001 to 2003 in Ashtabula, Lake and Summit counties. The case similarities make investigators believe that the same man is responsible for the attacks.
The suspect in each assault was a white male, roughly 30 years old, who posed as a salesman or repairman and targeted girls who had just taken a school bus home. After knocking on a victim’s door, the man usually asked for directions or for information about the home’s occupants, likely to determine whether the victim was alone. He then asked to make a phone call and forced his way inside.
The man wore sunglasses and a baseball hat, and sometimes carried a clipboard. He possibly drove a black or silver midsize sedan. Victims ranged in age from 11 to 18.
Investigators believe the cases are linked to similar assaults in Pennsylvania from the same period. Pennsylvania State Police recently identified a suspect in one of those cases, Daniel Danzinger, a 61-year-old Florida resident who lived in Ohio at the time of the crimes.
Authorities zeroed in on Danzinger by applying forensic genealogy technology to DNA from the crime scene. A DNA sample obtained with a search warrant matched the crime scene evidence.
Danzinger was arrested on Oct. 2 and is awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania.
BCI asks anyone with information about Danzinger or cases like those in Ohio and Pennsylvania to call 855-BCI-OHIO.
BCI’s Cold Case Unit offers forensic analysis and investigative resources to law enforcement agencies for unsolved homicides and sexual assaults.
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) — Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and 49 other attorneys general have negotiated a $10 million settlement with payment processor ACI Worldwide stemming from a testing error in 2021 that led to the attempted unauthorized withdrawal of $2.3 billion from the accounts of 477,000 mortgage-holders.
Ohio will receive $342,803 from the settlement.
“The ACI error jeopardized Ohioans’ financial stability and caused undue stress,” Yost said. “This settlement ensures that this company is held responsible for committing an error of this magnitude and that safeguards are put in place to prevent similar incidents in the future.”
The attorneys general investigated and negotiated this case in partnership with the states’ financial regulators, who have reached a separate $10 million settlement with ACI.
ACI Payments, a subsidiary of ACI Worldwide Corp., serves as a payment processor for various third-party clients, including mortgage servicers. Nationstar Mortgage, known publicly as Mr. Cooper, offered ACI’s Speedpay product to its customers so they could electronically schedule and pay a monthly mortgage through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system.
On April 23, 2021, ACI was conducting a test on the Speedpay platform when it inadvertently submitted live Mr. Cooper consumer data into the ACH system, which prompted ACI to mistakenly attempt to withdraw mortgage payments from hundreds of thousands of Mr. Cooper customers on a day that was neither authorized nor expected.
In many instances, consumers experienced the attempted withdrawal of multiple mortgage payments from their personal bank accounts. Although most of the withdrawals were unsuccessful or later reversed, 1.4 million transactions totaling $2.3 billion were processed, affecting an estimated 477,000 Mr. Cooper customers, including over 13,000 in Ohio.
Some consumers couldn’t access the funds in question, leading to fees for overdrafts or insufficient funds. The affected consumers have received restitution from ACI as part of other related settlements.
The investigation of ACI blamed the 2021 incident on significant deficiencies in the company’s privacy and data-security procedures and the technical infrastructure of the Speedpay platform.
Also, as part of the settlement agreement, ACI is required to take steps to avoid any similar incidents, including using artificially generated data for testing purposes instead of real consumer data. The company must also segregate its testing or development work from its consumer payment systems.
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) — Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and 32 of his counterparts announced today that a settlement has been reached with Inmediata over the three-year exposure of the protected health information of 1.5 million consumers.
As part of the settlement, the health-care clearinghouse has agreed to fully revamp its data-security protocols and breach-notification procedures, and to pay $1.4 million to the participating states. Ohio will receive $56,041 of the settlement money.
“Data privacy should be paramount. In the event of a breach, it is the company’s responsibility to promptly notify consumers,” Yost said. “We are actively working to mitigate this issue and safeguard the interests of Ohioans.”
Inmediata, based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, facilitates transactions between health-care providers and insurers throughout the United States.
In January 2019, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Office of Civil Rights alerted Inmediata that, dating as far back as May 2016, protected health information maintained by the company had been exposed online and indexed by search engines. The breach meant that anyone with internet access could have accessed and potentially downloaded the sensitive patient information.
Despite the alert from the federal government, Inmediata put off notifying the affected consumers for more than three months, and, when the company finally did, in some cases they sent notices to incorrect addresses of patients. In addition, the notices lacked clarity, leaving many consumers confused about why Inmediata had their data and leading some to dismiss the notices as illegitimate.
The settlement resolves allegations made by the attorneys general that Inmediata violated state breach notification laws and the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
The violations center on Inmediata’s failure to implement reasonable data security and its neglect of secure-code reviews before the breach and, after learning about the data exposure, its failure to provide timely and comprehensive information about the breach to consumers.
Under the settlement, Inmediata will strengthen its data security and breach-notification practices going forward. This includes implementing a comprehensive information-security program, developing an incident-response plan with specific policies and procedures for notification letters, and undergoing annual third-party security assessments for five years.
Joining Yost in the settlement are the attorneys general of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Lt. Governor Jon Husted, Director of InnovateOhio, today announced three new modernizations for Ohio truck drivers that will make obtaining and renewing a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) easier without lowering standards. The technology upgrades were developed through InnovateOhio and the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV).
“Ohio is the heart of manufacturing and logistics in the country,” said Lt. Governor Husted. “Freight infrastructure has made our state an anchor for global and domestic supply chains. We want Ohio to be the best state in the country for truck drivers to live, work, and raise a family, and through these kinds of technological upgrades, in which it’s easier for truckers to comply, we’re eliminating friction and taking meaningful steps in that direction.”
The Lt. Governor made the announcement at ABF Freight in Dayton along with the Ohio BMV and representatives from the Ohio Trucking Association and Ohio Teamsters. As part of the announcement, he highlighted three specific CDL improvements:
CDL Online Renewal
Beginning October 2023, Ohio truckers can now renew their CDL online. Ohioans can already renew their regular driver’s license online, and extending this to truckers means they no longer have to travel to a deputy registrar location and wait in line. Now, they can renew at the click of a button and receive their new license in the mail.
CDL Testing Modernization
Additionally, CDL testing has been modernized so Ohio truckers seeking their CDL are tested on real-world scenarios. The updated test will more accurately require knowledge of modern vehicles and skills needed for a CDL holder to safely operate a vehicle. Modernizing the testing requirements will improve the process for future truckers to earn their CDL and obtain good paying jobs in Ohio without removing the knowledge-testing standards that matter when they are on the road.
Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) Extended
The Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) has been increased from six months to 12 months. This gives individuals an additional six months of commercial driver training before it expires and saves them money from having to purchase a CLP every six months.
“These latest CDL improvements for Ohio truckers are the latest in a series of BMV innovations, in collaboration with InnovateOhio,” said Ohio BMV Registrar Charlie Norman. “To date, these modernizations have saved Ohioans over 4.5 million trips to deputy registrar locations and more than 500,000 hours of standing in line.”
There are over 388,000 active Commercial Drivers Licenses in Ohio. As the manufacturing and logistics hub of the nation, Ohio jobs in two major truck driving occupations (Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck and Light Truck or Delivery Services) are expected to increase by a combined 7 percent by 2030.
OhioMeansJobs.com currently has over 7,000 jobs posted for CDL holders in Ohio. For more information about a career in the trucking industry or to apply, you can go online to OhioMeansJobs.com or visit your local OhioMeansJobs center.
In addition to this new package of CDL improvements for Ohio truckers, Ohio BMV and InnovateOhio technology solutions also include options such as “Get in Line, Online”, self-service kiosks, online knowledge tests, online driver’s license renewals and now, three major upgrades for Ohio’s truckers and trucking companies. These technological solutions will make it easier for truckers to comply with the requirements of their industry.
(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—In response to the unprovoked attack and invasion of Israel, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has ordered the flags of the United States and the State of Ohio to be flown at half-staff upon all public buildings and grounds throughout the State of Ohio.
The order will be in effect from sunrise October 10, 2023 until sunset on October 12, 2023.
United States Attorney General Merrick B. Garland Delivers Remarks Announcing Eight Indictments Against China-Based Chemical Manufacturing Companies and Employees
Remarks as Delivered
Good afternoon.
Fentanyl is the deadliest drug threat the United States has ever faced. It is nearly 50 times more potent than heroin and is a nearly invisible poison. Just two milligrams of fentanyl – the amount that could fit at the tip of a pencil – is a potentially lethal dose.
I am joined today by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo, DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, and Chief Postal Inspector Gary Barksdale.
We are here today to announce a series of actions we are taking to target the trafficking of fentanyl at every stage and in every part of the world.
But more important, we are here today to deliver a message on behalf of the United States government:
We know who is responsible for poisoning the American people with fentanyl.
We know who is responsible for shattering families and communities across the United States with drug poisonings and overdoses.
We know that behind the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans is a cartel-driven fentanyl trafficking network that spans countries and continents.
We know that this network includes the cartels’ leaders, their drug traffickers, their money launderers, their clandestine lab operators, their security forces, their weapons suppliers, and their chemical suppliers.
And we know that this global fentanyl supply chain, which ends with the deaths of Americans, often starts with chemical companies in China.
Our agents and prosecutors are working every day to get fentanyl out of our communities and bring to justice those who put it there.
Recently, that work has included charging 23 Sinaloa Cartel members, associates, and leaders for their roles in running the largest, most violent, and most prolific fentanyl trafficking operation in the world.
And it has included the Department’s first-ever charges against chemical companies based in China for trafficking fentanyl precursor chemicals directly into the United States.
Today, we are announcing several more actions we are taking across the government to disrupt every single aspect of the global fentanyl trafficking network.
First, in eight separate indictments in the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida, the Justice Department charged eight companies based in China, and 12 of their executives, for crimes related to the production, distribution, and importation of fentanyl, other synthetic opioids, methamphetamines, and their precursor chemicals.
As detailed in the indictments unsealed today, the precursor chemicals used to make synthetic opioids like fentanyl are primarily manufactured and distributed by China-based chemical companies.
These companies advertise the sale of precursor chemicals online, using different websites and social media platforms.
They then ship the building blocks needed to create deadly drugs all over the world.
To evade detection by U.S. law enforcement, they use fake return addresses, include fraudulent invoices that mislabel the products, and disguise the chemicals in packaging such as dog food bags.
In just one example, one of the defendants, a pharmaceutical technology company located in China, advertised fentanyl precursor chemicals, as well as xylazine, for sale online.
Drug traffickers may combine xylazine, a horse tranquilizer also known as tranq, with drugs like fentanyl in order to enhance their effects and increase their value.
But, unlike opioids, the effects of xylazine cannot be reversed by Narcan. And people who inject drug mixtures containing xylazine can develop wounds that result in disfigurement or amputation.
As detailed in the indictment, after advertising the precursor chemicals, the pharmaceutical company then shipped them to both the United States and to Mexico, including to a drug trafficker affiliated with the Sinaloa Cartel.
In one instance, a company executive specifically asked a customer, who was asking about the purchase of fentanyl precursors, “do they need fent?” – short for fentanyl.
The executive went on to recommend a specific fentanyl precursor to the customer, saying that “all Mexico customers” buy it. The executive told the customer the company would ship the precursor under a different chemical name to ensure “safe custom clearance.”
But in fact, the purported “customer” was an undercover DEA agent.
As alleged in the indictment, the company shipped 300 grams of xylazine and 43 kilograms of fentanyl precursors to the United States, where undercover DEA agents received them.
The precursor chemicals we received from this company – in just this one case – would have been enough to manufacture more than 72 kilograms of fentanyl. That amount could be used to make more than 15 million fentanyl pills – each one potentially fatal.
As the Deputy Attorney General will highlight shortly, the cases being unsealed today are part of a whole-of-government effort to attack every aspect of the trafficking of deadly fentanyl.
That effort includes not only Justice Department prosecutors and DEA [and FBI] agents, but also our partners at the Treasury Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
In a moment, Secretary Mayorkas will discuss, among other things, additional seizures of fentanyl precursor chemicals made by the Department of Homeland Security alongside its DEA counterparts.
And Deputy Secretary Adeyemo will discuss sanctions the Treasury Department is imposing today on a set of individuals and entities involved in fentanyl trafficking. That includes all of the China-based companies and individuals being charged in the Southern District of Florida today.
Tomorrow, Secretary Mayorkas, Secretary Blinken, and I will be traveling to Mexico City to meet with our government and law enforcement counterparts to discuss the most emergent, urgent threats facing our countries. Disrupting the violent cartels manufacturing and trafficking fentanyl will be at the top of the list.
In this vein, just three weeks ago, we extradited from Mexico Ovidio Guzman Lopez, a leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, and a son of the infamous El Chapo. He is one of more than a dozen cartel leaders we have indicted and extradited to the United States. He will not be the last. The United States government is focused on breaking apart every link in the global fentanyl chain.
That includes holding accountable the chemical companies that we know are fueling the fentanyl epidemic.
It is critical that the PRC government stops the unchecked flow of precursor chemicals that are coming from China.
I want to thank the U.S. Attorneys for the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida, and their incredible teams, for their work on these cases. I want to thank the DEA and FBI for their tireless efforts in making the actions we announce today possible.
And I want to thank our terrific partners from across the government.
Finally, I want to express my continued gratitude to some of the most powerful advocates I have ever met: the families who have lost loved ones to a drug poisoning or overdose.
Last week, Administrator Milgram and I spent the morning with people from across the country, who came to Washington for DEA’s second annual family summit.
They came here because each had lost a loved one to a drug poisoning or overdose.
And they came here because they wanted to do everything in their power to prevent that from happening to another family.
They remind us why we fight, and why the battle is so urgent.
We will remember the victims of the fentanyl epidemic. We will pursue justice for them. And we will hold accountable those responsible for these tragedies.
Thank you.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco Delivers Remarks Announcing Eight Indictments Against China-Based Chemical Manufacturing Companies and Employees
Remarks as Prepared for Delivery
Good afternoon. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
Last April, we announced charges and sanctions against every element of the Sinaloa Cartel’s deadly fentanyl trafficking network, led by the notorious Chapitos brothers.
At that time, we pledged to attack the global networks that fuel the fentanyl crisis, from every angle, at every stage of the supply chain, using every tool available.
Today, we are making good on that pledge – with indictments of 8 Chinese companies and 12 Chinese nationals – for trying to ship into the United States gallon after gallon of chemicals used to make fentanyl, methamphetamine, and other deadly drugs.
No community is off limits for the fentanyl traffickers who profit at the expense of American lives. And no technique is too brazen if it means access to the American market.
As alleged in today’s indictments, the defendants used a range of trafficking tactics to ply their deadly trade and cover their tracks — from blatant online advertising and encrypted messaging apps to fake shipping schemes and bitcoin payments.
As we learned from prior campaigns against terrorists and cyber criminals, we must be relentless, we must be agile and innovative, and we must use every tool of national power to disrupt the global production and trafficking of fentanyl.
That means combining traditional tools with novel approaches. And that means capitalizing on the partnerships we have built, at home and overseas.
To bring today’s cases, our agents and prosecutors combined old-school techniques like officers going undercover with cutting-edge tools like cryptocurrency tracing.
Today’s cases reflect the hard work and tenacity of dozens of agents, analysts, and prosecutors at the Department of Justice – but it also reflects teamwork from across the Federal government. For example:
Undercover DEA agents posed as drug traffickers to identify those shipping precursor poisons to our shores;
Partners at DHS surged resources to stop the lethal shipments and trace their origin;
Postal Inspectors exposed a scheme to exploit the mails to deliver the deadly ingredients;
FBI and IRS agents followed the blockchain to track crypto payments;
Partners at Treasury assembled the evidence for today’s raft of sanctions; and
Justice Department prosecutors from the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida coordinated with investigative partners to bring the criminal charges we announce today.
This was a whole-of-government effort. When we work together – sharing information, combining resources, and relentlessly pursuing justice – we can have a tremendous impact on those who would do us harm.
But even with this cross-agency team, we cannot win the battle without additional partners.
Today, we are grateful for the efforts of Mexican prosecutors and officers who worked hand-in-hand with U.S. partners to track shipments of precursor chemicals.
But we must do more.
We need every country across the globe to join with us in the fight against fentanyl.
And we need the private sector’s help as well. As in our fight against cyber criminals and terrorists, we need social media companies and marketplaces to police their platforms to avert catastrophic harm.
Our nation’s common carriers and freight forwarders must up their game to prevent traffickers from using their services to ship poison to our communities.
It must be all hands on deck.
Today, we renew the Justice Department’s pledge – a pledge to every American community and to the families of hundreds of thousands of Americans who have lost loved ones to fentanyl poisoning:
We will bring every tool of national power to the fight against fentanyl;
We will foster public-private collaboration;
We will find common cause with – and demand action from – foreign governments; and
We will not rest until we have rid our communities of this poison.
The women and men involved in these cases represent the very best of government service, and I’m proud to stand with them.
I will now turn the podium over to Deputy Secretary Adeyemo to talk more about the Treasury Department actions today.
