The judge's ruling that Kari Lake's actions shall have no force or effect is a powerful step toward undoing the damage she has inflicted on this American institution that we love. Even as we work through what this ruling means for colleagues harmed by her actions, it brings renewed hope and momentum to the next phase of our fight: restoring VOA's global operations and ensuring we continue to produce journalism, not propaganda.

Rahman had campaigned on a promise to remove the LTNs that he said were barriers for working-class people who relied on cars; his manifesto said he wanted to reopen our roads, and abolish the failed Liveable Streets scheme, which has seen emergency services and vulnerable residents' access blocked. But campaigners argued that people benefited from the barriers, and their campaign was supported by local NHS trusts and the headteachers of five schools.

A federal judge on Monday struck down Donald Trump's executive order blocking wind energy projects, saying the effort to halt virtually all leasing of windfarms on federal lands and waters was arbitrary and capricious and violated US law. Judge Patti Saris of the US district court for the district of Massachusetts vacated Trump's 20 January executive order blocking wind energy projects and declared it unlawful.

In the context of a prisoner who has a history of trauma and where there was a failure to obtain an assessment of his needs even though he was known to have mental health issues, and a failure to provide him with any therapeutic treatment to address his trauma, a contravention of article 3 is made out, notwithstanding the importance of the aim behind the segregation regime.

A judge has called on the Trump administration to revise its grant requirements by next week, nixing immigration demands. A federal judge in the United States has ruled that the administration of President Donald Trump has violated a previous court order by implementing a nearly identical policy that again made state cooperation with federal immigration enforcement a condition for receiving grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

What started as some Trump claim that University of California colleges were antisemitic turned into a billion-dollar shakedown, but UC just won this fight (for now) as a judge ordered that $500 million in research grants be reinstated. The second Trump term has been marked by his claims that universities are somehow antisemitic, this despite Trump's fondness for openly antisemitic figures like Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, and Kanye West.

The Office of Personnel Management illegally required the roughly 25,000 firings throughout government, U.S. District Judge William Alsup said, denying the Trump administration's argument that each agency acted on its own. The ruling comes months after the Supreme Court knocked down Alsup's previous preliminary injunction on the firings, though the judge said the justice' decision was nebulous and did not prevent his final order.

A Fulton County judge says he will toss the racketeering charges against 61 people who were arrested in connection with the protests against the construction of the Atlanta police training facility, commonly known as "Cop City."

Brian Kemp's (R) permission to pursue the prosecutions, which he did not do.

Huntington Beach can't restrict minors from accessing books with sexual content in the city's libraries, an Orange County judge said in a tentative ruling Friday, Sept. 5.

Trump's approach to sanctuary cities began with an Executive Order aimed at combating what he termed the interference of these jurisdictions with federal law enforcement operations. The order instructed federal officials to cut funding to these cities, reflecting a broader strategy during his presidency to enforce stricter immigration policies against perceived obstruction.

U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg of Florida denied a request to unseal grand jury transcripts of the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, stating that Eleventh Circuit law does not allow it.

At the preliminary hearing, Judge Thomas Stevens sided with a defense theory that the shooting was accidental and ordered Angelo Ray to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter, not murder.

This ruling does not stand for the proposition that Meta's use of copyrighted materials to train its language models is lawful, but only that these plaintiffs made wrong arguments.

Judge James Boasberg's ruling reflects Kafka's bureaucratic absurdity, upholding the Trump administration's control denial over prisoners despite their direct involvement in their detention.
