The Ninth Circuit cleared the way for the administration to end Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from Nicaragua, Honduras, and Nepal. A question is raised about whether revenge can justify a federal case. The federal government is argued to be the appropriate mechanism to unseal the Epstein files, with skepticism about whether the administration will act.
