Good morning. The 1st Circuit will consider whether the Trump administration wrongly revoked the legal status of more than 500,000 migrants. Plus, the DOJ faces a deadline today to detail its case for unsealing grand jury records related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell; and the Trump administration filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg. Let's get going. |

The 1st Circuit will consider whether the Trump administration wrongly revoked the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans living in the U.S. Here's what to know: |
|
|
- Beginning in 2022, President Biden let Venezuelans who entered the United States by air request a two-year parole if they passed security checks and had a U.S. financial sponsor. Biden expanded that to Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans in 2023.
- Immigration parole is a form of temporary permission to live and work in the U.S. for "urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit." Biden used parole as part of his administration's approach to deter illegal immigration at the Mexican border.
- President Trump called for ending humanitarian parole programs in an executive order signed on his first day back in office. The Department of Homeland Security subsequently moved to terminate the programs in March, cutting short the two-year parole grants. The administration said revoking the parole status would make it easier to place migrants in a fast-track deportation process called "expedited removal."
- A group of migrants granted parole and Americans who serve as their sponsors sued, claiming the administration violated federal law governing the actions of government agencies. Read the complaint.
- In April U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston halted the administration's move to end the immigration parole granted to 532,000 migrants. Read that order here.
- The 1st Circuit declined to put Talwani's decision on hold (read that document here) and on May 30, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed with the 1st Circuit and allowed the administration to proceed while the lawsuit continues. Read the Supreme Court decision here.
- Today a 1st Circuit panel of Judges Gustavo Gelpi, William Kayatta Jr and Lara Montecalvo will hear arguments in the case.
| - The DOJ faces a deadline today to lay out in detail its arguments for unsealing grand jury records in Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking case.
- Non-profits that provide support to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in 17 states will urge U.S. District Judge William Smith in Providence, Rhode Island, to block the DOJ from requiring recipients of grants issued pursuant to the Violence Against Women Act to certify they will not support DEI programs, discuss "gender ideology," or serve immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Read the complaint.
- Chief U.S. District Judge David Proctor in Birmingham, Alabama, will consider objections to a $2.8 billion class action settlement resolving claims that Blue Cross Blue Shield underpaid reimbursements to hospitals, physicians and other professionals. Blue Cross denied any wrongdoing in agreeing to the settlement, which includes a series of new business practices. Some hospitals have opted out of the deal to sue on their own in other federal courts.
- Attorneys at Quinn Emanuel representing China-based drone maker DJI will face off against the U.S. Defense Department to challenge its addition of the company to a list of entities allegedly working with Beijing's military. DJI, which sells more than half of all U.S. commercial drones, has denied being owned or controlled by the Chinese military. The hearing is before U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in D.C. Read the complaint.
- Chief U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann in Pennsylvania will hold a status hearing on a challenge to the appointment of Alina Habba, a former personal lawyer to President Trump, as acting U.S. attorney in New Jersey. Two defendants in a drug distribution and gun case set for trial next month are challenging procedural maneuvers by the Trump administration last week to keep Habba in the post despite a judicial decision not to extend her appointment.
