    Trump Executive Order Raises Alarm Over Women's Financial Independence - Newsweek
    Donald Trump takes steps to nullify key Civil Rights Act component- The Hill
    Trump signs executive order to dismantle the Civil Rights Act of 1964

    What does Trump’s order actually do?
    • Revokes key civil rights regulations from the 1960s and 1970s that authorized disparate-impact enforcement under Title VI (which bars discrimination in federally funded programs) and Title VII (which covers employment discrimination).
    • Directs federal agencies to deprioritize enforcing civil rights laws that rely on disparate-impact claims, including in housing, lending, and employment.
    • Orders a review of all pending civil rights cases based on disparate impact, signaling an intent to drop or weaken such cases.
    • Encourages challenges to state-level civil rights laws that use disparate-impact standards

    Trump is just trying to help the common, everyday people. Because he really cares about them.

    Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Its Attack on Union Rights

    A federal judge filed a preliminary injunction late on Friday that temporarily blocked the Trump administration from removing the bargaining rights of two-thirds of the federal workforce, which was widely considered retaliation against unions for challenging his power.

    Senior U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in Washington, D.C. wrote in his order that President Donald Trump's March executive order - where Trump claimed that these labor protections could threaten national security - is "unlawful." Friedman also wrote that an opinion explaining his reasoning will be issued in a few days.

    ‘Wasting Judicial Resources': Judge Shreds Trump Admin's Alien Enemies Act Case

    Briones wrote in his decision that the allegations in Sanchez Puentes and Sanchez Garcia's case were based on "multiple levels of hearsay, hidden within declarations of declarants who have no personal knowledge about the facts they are attesting to."

    "This court takes clear offense to respondents wasting judicial resources to admit to the court it has no evidence, yet seek to have this court determine petitioner Sanchez Puentes is ‘guilty by association'" by being married to his wife, Briones wrote.

    US judge in Texas orders release of Venezuelan couple, temporarily blocks deportations

    A federal judge in Texas ruled against deporting Venezuelan immigrants, finding it inappropriate for President Donald Trump to invoke the 1798 wartime law, the Alien Enemies Act.

    U.S. District Judge David Briones, of El Paso, made the ruling on April 25, and ordered the release of Julio Cesar Sanchez Puentes and Luddis Norelia Sanchez Garcia from a federal detention facility in El Paso, a couple accused of being members of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, according to the court opinion obtained by USA TODAY.

    Briones' decision found that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials failed to prove "any lawful basis" indicating why the couple should be detained any longer for an alleged alien enemy violation, according to the judge's opinion.

    “There is no doubt the Executive Branch’s unprecedented peacetime use of wartime power has caused chaos and uncertainty for individual petitions as well as the judicial branch in how to manage and evaluate the Executive’s claims of Tren de Aragua membership, and the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act as a whole,” wrote Briones, who was appointed in 1994 by President Bill Clinton.
