Attorneys for Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook are denying allegations that the key Fed official committed mortgage fraud. In a Tuesday filing, Cook's attorneys submitted additional arguments in support of a request for a temporary restraining order that would block President Donald Trump's attempt to oust a key member of the Federal Reserve. The attorneys said in the 31-page filing that Cook didn't receive proper due process, including an opportunity to address the allegations made against her, and the justification for her firing wouldn't rise to the level of "for cause" removal.

"To only seek such damages after default here is fundamentally unfair, as in this case it would more than triple Group One's damages award." - CAFC The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) on Thursday partially affirmed and partially reversed a decision of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York that had denied holding a non-party in contempt of a temporary restraining order (TRO) and awarded less than the requested damages amount in a patent infringement suit.

Speculating as to the reason why the number has declined, Lander reasoned that it could be the result of a temporary restraining order barring ICE from holding detainees in cramped and unhygienic conditions on the 10th floor of the Federal Plaza building. The conditions came to light through a video secretly recorded in July showing 10th-floor detainees within cramped conditions, with people sleeping on the ground in dirty, unwashed clothes. The video further showed the people located near a shared toilet with no privacy.
