They said the pardons relate to people who have been convicted of violating the Clean Air Act, a comprehensive federal law that aimed to cut down on emissions and improve air quality.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Justice Department had ordered federal prosecutors earlier this year to drop criminal investigations and abandon pending cases related to \u201cdefeat devices\u201d \u2014 software used to bypass emissions controls.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=4895\">Mamdani marks July 4 with a pro-immigration speech, ripping Trump\u2019s policies without using his name<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            The typical jockeying for pardons has ramped up significantly under the Trump administration.
