A federal judge in Illinois issued a 14-day pause blocking the Trump administration from rescinding about $600 million in CDC public-health grants to California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota, ruling the states would suffer irreparable harm while a lawsuit challenges the retroactive funding conditions and a broader shift away from health equity.
A Tuscaloosa County judge denied Alabama center Charles Bediako’s injunction against the NCAA, ending his eligibility for the remainder of the 2025-26 season after he played five games under a temporary restraining order; the ruling comes after the NCAA deemed him ineligible, meaning Alabama will play without him going forward, despite a five-game stretch in which he averaged 10.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks.
A federal appeals court in Richmond’s 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a bid to block President Trump’s executive orders to end DEI programs at federal agencies and government contractors, overturning a district injunction. The panel said the challenge could be addressed by how agencies apply the orders to grant recipients rather than striking them down, effectively allowing enforcement to continue. Plaintiffs Baltimore, the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, and the AAUP are reviewing the ruling; the White House did not immediately comment.
Duke transfer quarterback Darian Mensah has filed an emergency motion for reconsideration of a temporary restraining order in Durham Superior Court, asking that his preliminary injunction hearing (set for Feb. 2) be moved to Jan. 23, 2026. The filing argues delaying could cause competing programs (Miami among them) to miss enrollment deadlines and effectively block him from transferring. Duke sued after Mensah announced portal plans; he signed a two-year, $8 million contract with Duke in July 2024 after transferring from Tulane in December 2024. The motion contends the injunction delay could force him out of consideration at other schools, while the quarterback posted strong 2025 numbers (3,646 passing yards, 30 TDs, 68% completion) before leaving Duke after one season.

Massachusetts won a preliminary injunction forcing Kalshi to stop offering sports event markets until it secures a sports wagering license, with the order taking effect Friday and Kalshi’s option to appeal.

The Trump administration said it will appeal a Minnesota judge's injunction that limits federal immigration agents' interactions with protesters, seeking review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The injunction bars retaliation against peaceful demonstrators, bans pepper spray and other crowd-dispersal tools in response to protected speech, and prevents detaining protesters in vehicles unless they are obstructing agents. The lawsuit contends federal officers violated protesters' rights who observed or spoke out against enforcement actions.
A federal judge in Minnesota heard arguments on an injunction to curb ongoing federal immigration enforcement, but said she needs more time to review the facts and set a briefing schedule. As ICE and border enforcement activities intensify statewide—affecting schools, hospitals, and MSP Airport—local officials, residents, and even political figures react with concern and public demonstrations amid broader debates over immigration policy.
More than 316 Met Police officers and staff declared membership in Freemasonry or other hierarchical associations after the force mandated disclosure, triggering a High Court challenge from Freemason bodies. The judge noted the requirement takes immediate effect, but there’s no immediate disciplinary action planned while the case proceeds, and the Met will consider withdrawing the policy after representations. The policy followed a survey showing about two-thirds of respondents felt such membership could affect impartiality and public trust.
Freemasons have filed for an emergency injunction against the Metropolitan Police's new policy requiring officers to declare their membership, claiming it constitutes religious discrimination and unfair treatment, while the police defend the policy as necessary for maintaining impartiality and integrity.
