- Federal judges in three states issued orders blocking Trump's executive order nationwide, finding it likely violated the 14th amendment.
- But through an emergency filing, the Trump administration has focused on the permissibility of the actions by the three judges, asking whether federal judges should have the power to issue broad orders that block challenged policies on a nationwide, or "universal," basis. Read more about that here.
- The administration asked the court to narrow the injunctions to let the government enforce Trump's directive - part of his hardline approach to immigration - to the greatest extent possible while the legal fight over the policy plays out.
- That approach would set up the possibility of the court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, allowing broad enforcement of the policy without assessing whether or not it is legal.
- The policy is one of Trump's most contentious and would affect thousands of babies born each year as the president seeks a major shift in how the U.S. Constitution has long been understood.

- The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue rulings this morning.
- The Milwaukee County judge charged by the U.S. with obstructing an immigration arrest is due in court to face charges. The DOJ says Hannah Dugan refused to turn over a defendant in her court after immigration agents showed up to arrest him in April. The case against Dugan sits at the center of two themes of President Trump's second term: boundary-pushing immigration enforcement and forceful pushback against judges the administration sees as standing in the way of its authority.
- Lawyers for Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk, who was ordered released from a Louisiana immigration detention facility last week, will go before U.S. District Judge William Sessions in Burlington, Vermont, for a hearing to discuss additional conditions of release that ICE wants to impose on her and to address why the Trump administration has not restored her status in a database used to monitor compliance with student visa conditions.
- The ACLU will urge U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in D.C. to issue an injunction preventing the Bureau of Prisons from incarcerating people longer than the civil rights group says is allowed under the criminal justice reform law known as the First Step Act.

That's how much Harvard Law paid in 1946 to acquire what was billed as a "somewhat rubbed and damp-stained" copy of the Magna Carta from 1327 to add to its collection of medieval texts. British researchers now have determined that the text is in fact an original from King Edward I's 1300 re-issue of the pivotal document that forms the basis for the constitutions of many nations. It is one of just seven to survive. |

"[T]he CFTC also had the opportunity to correct the false statements and impressions that had been made, yet it chose to go a different route in violation of its duty of candor to the Court."
|
—Special Master Jose Linares, a retired federal judge, wrote in a recently unsealed report. He said the CFTC "acted willfully and in bad faith on several occasions" when it sued U.S.-Canadian trading firm My Forex Funds in 2023 over the alleged illicit transfer of $31.5 million in Canadian dollars to an unidentified account outside of the United States. U.S. District Judge Edward Kiel on Wednesday sanctioned the commission, dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice and awarded attorney fees to the firm. Read more. |
