A federal judge ruled that Alina Habba's appointment as acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey was unlawful because she was not qualified and her authority ended on July 1, affecting ongoing cases. The case highlights issues with the Trump administration's unconventional appointments of officials without proper congressional support.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticized a federal judge's ruling that restricts immigration enforcement in California, claiming judges are politicized and that ICE does not target individuals based on race, language, or employment, and plans to appeal the decision.
A federal judge in Texas ruled that the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) discriminated against white business owners and must now serve all business owners, regardless of race. The judge's decision challenges the agency's mission to help disadvantaged businesses owned by racial and ethnic groups, potentially impacting other government efforts that cater to historically disadvantaged groups. This ruling is part of a broader legal battle over diversity, equity, and inclusion, and is likely to fuel a conservative movement against affirmative action in both public and private sectors.
