The case would be one of the most significant dealing with #religion in #PublicSchools since an ideologically divided #SCOTUS ruled in 2022 that a former public high school football coach’s on-field prayers were protected under the #FirstAmendment’s right to #FreeSpeech.
In the current case, the [ultra-conservative] US Court of Appeals for the #5thCircuit in New Orleans upheld the #Texas #law on a 9-8 vote, overturning a lower-court ruling that found the measure #unconstitutional. -

A "tower dump" involves #cellphone companies providing #lawenforcement with access to the time and location data of all mobile devices connected to a cell tower

The chief federal judge in Minnesota ordered the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear in court on Friday
to explain why he should not be held in contempt
for violating court orders.The order by Judge Patrick J. Schiltz
— which he acknowledged was “an extraordinary step”
— adds to the administration’s legal fightswhile it also faces public and political pressure over the aggressive tactics of its agents,
who have shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in three weeks.Trump shook up the leadership of the Minnesota enforcement operation on Monday
by planning to pull its director of on-the-ground enforcement,
Gregory Bovino, according to two U.S. officials.That came after two days of outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti,
who was shot and killed by federal agents over the weekend.Trump said he was sending #Tom #Homan, his border czar,
to oversee the operations and that Mr. Homan would report directly to him.⭐️The order by Judge Schiltz, issued late Monday,
summons the ICE acting director
#Todd #Lyons to appear before him on Friday and explain why he should not be held in contempt for violating court orders arising from the Trump administration’s crackdown.“The court’s patience is at an end,” he wrote.
But the judge did give Mr. Lyons an out:
👉He said he would cancel the hearing if ICE quickly released an immigrant whom he said had been wrongly detained by agents.The crackdown has prompted a flood of legal challenges,
including from state and local officials
⚠️who asked another federal judge on Monday to declare that the surge of some 3,000 immigration agents had effectively become an #unconstitutional #occupation.The Trump administration also defended itself on Monday at a hearing over the state’s effort to investigate the death of Mr. Pretti.
The shooting of Mr. Pretti
— who was killed while being pinned down by agents, according to videos of the encounter
— sparked outage across the political spectrum,
including among some Republicans who have called for the Trump administration to change course.Trump met on Monday with #Kristi #Noem, the homeland security secretary, and #Corey #Lewandowski, her top aide, in the Oval Office for more than two hours,
according to two people briefed on the meeting.The president did not suggest in the meeting that Ms. Noem and Mr. Lewandowski were at risk of losing their jobs, those people said.
But it was another sign of Trump’s concern about the reaction to the killing of Mr. Pretti and the fatal shooting of another Minneapolis resident, Renee Good, by a federal agent on Jan. 7.

The unions had asked the court to block #Trump’s dismantlement of the #aid agency, calling it “#unconstitutional & #illegal” & saying it had “generated a global #HumanitarianCrisis” & threatened American strategic interests.
“Not a single one of defendants’ actions to dismantle #USAID were taken pursuant to congressional authorization,” the lawsuit said. “And pursuant to federal #statute, #Congress is the only entity that may lawfully dismantle the agency.”

I've been so disgusted by the language police and the English restrictions for years. I'm about ready to say "If Quebecers cannot obtain government services in English on demand, then the federal government won't offer them in French either".
I was born in Quebec, and I probably couldn't get an English "permit".

#US. #District #Judge #ThomasParker, a #Trump #appointee, #ruled the #dragban “is an #unconstitutional #restriction on #speech.”
The District Attorney wrote in a three-page “#notice” addressed to #BlountPride organizers and distributed to local #law #enforcement, “however if sufficient #evidence is presented to this office that the #unconstitutional #criminal #statutes have been #violated, our office will ethically and justly prosecute these cases in the interest of justice.”

On Tuesday, #Johnson & #Johnson became the latest drugmaker to take the Biden administration to federal court in an attempt to put a #halt to the #drug #pricing #program. Three other drug companies — #Merck, #Bristol #Myers #Squibb and #Astellas #Pharma — have filed their own lawsuits, as have the industry’s main trade group and the U.S. #Chamber of #Commerce.
The suits make similar and overlapping claims that the drug pricing provisions are #unconstitutional. They are scattered in federal courts around the country — a tactic that experts say gives the industry a better chance of obtaining #conflicting #rulings that will put the legal challenges on a fast track to a business-friendly #Supreme #Court.
