Federal Judge Upholds Biden's Immigration Programs Against Texas Lawsuits

A Trump-appointed judge, Drew Tipton, ruled against Texas and other GOP-led states in their lawsuit challenging a Biden administration program that allows up to 30,000 migrants seeking asylum from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. on an emergency basis each month. Tipton stated that Texas lacked standing to bring the lawsuit and had not demonstrated injury from the program, noting a significant decrease in the number of migrants entering the country under the program. This ruling marks a surprising win for the Biden administration in the ongoing battle over immigration policies.

Federal Judge Halts Indiana Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth

A Trump-appointed judge in Indiana has blocked parts of a state law banning gender-affirming care for transgender youth from going into effect next month. The law prohibits physicians from providing minors with treatments such as puberty blocking medication, hormone therapy and surgery intended to help transition genders. But US District Court Judge James Patrick Hanlon issued a preliminary injunction Friday that blocks the ban on most of those treatments. The decision comes after the American Civil Liberties Union sued to stop the law from going into effect on behalf of four transgender youth and their families, a physician and a health care clinic.

Abortion pill case sparks controversy and debate among judges and politicians.

A Trump-appointed judge on the 5th Circuit questioned whether pregnancy is an "illness" and whether abortion pills were eligible for expedited approval by the FDA during oral arguments in a case challenging the drug's approval. Pro-life doctors and medical groups are challenging that approval, arguing FDA erroneously classified pregnancy as an illness to give the drug expedited approval. The case wound its way up to the Supreme Court, which ruled last month that full access to mifepristone may continue as the lawsuit works its way through lower federal courts.

Students at Stanford Law School protested against their dean, Jenny Martinez, for apologizing to a Trump-appointed federal judge who was heckled during a talk. The protest included vandalizing Martinez's classroom and forming a human corridor to the exit. The apology was criticized by at least three student groups, while some students who did not participate in the protest felt shunned. The apology admitted that the protest was inconsistent with the school's policies on free speech. Martinez did not respond to the latest protest.
