Today, U.S. Copyright Office Director Shira Perlmutter will ask a federal judge for a temporary restraining order blocking President Trump from firing her. Here's what to know. |
- The motion hearing is before U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly in D.C. and is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET.
- Perlmutter filed a lawsuit last week arguing that her termination by email on May 10 was "blatantly unlawful," and that only the U.S. Congress can remove her from office. Read the complaint here.
- The Trump administration, in its Monday filing, said that it had the authority to fire Perlmutter and that the Library of Congress, which houses the Copyright Office, is "not an autonomous organization free from political supervision." Read that filing here.
- The lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal clashes between Trump and federal officials he has sought to fire since his inauguration in January, including two Democratic labor board members. Read more about those cases here.

"As this case makes clear, some lower courts are confused on how to manage the tension between students' rights and schools' obligations."
|
—U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito wrote in a dissent. The court declined to hear a student's challenge on free speech grounds to a Massachusetts public school's decision to bar him from wearing a T-shirt reading "There are only two genders" due to concern about the message's effect on transgender and other pupils.
