The weekly roundup from How Appealing highlights significant appellate litigation developments. A federal judge has blocked Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act for deporting Venezuelans, asserting the claims do not constitute an 'invasion'. Meanwhile, political dynamics in North Carolina have shifted as the GOP takes over the elections board, potentially undermining a Democratic judge's victory. Additional issues include Carlos Uzcategui's detention in El Salvador without charges, ongoing investigations into leaked court orders in Wisconsin, and renewed challenges to state gun laws following a Supreme Court ruling.
"Federal Judge Strikes Down Trump's Use of Alien Enemies Act to Deport Venezuelans; The ruling, which is limited to the Southern District of Texas, prohibited the administration from using the wartime law because the president's claims about a Venezuelan gang do not add up to an 'invasion'."
"GOP takes over N.C. elections board, boosting chances of reversing high court race; A law giving a Republican official power to appoint the North Carolina elections board could impact a Democratic judge's victory; Legal battles continue on both fronts."
"He's Held in El Salvador's Mega-Prison, Without Any Criminal Charges; Carlos Uzcategui's legal journey to the U.S. put the Venezuelan on a collision course with an 'unprecedented' deportation plan."
"Gun advocates bring wave of challenges to state laws, capitalizing on Supreme Court ruling; Supreme Court majority seems open to religious public charter schools; Liberal justices were opposed to government sponsorship of religious schools, but there was support among conservatives."
