Warnings, court orders, and a gun: the Minneapolis shooter’s documented history

In Minneapolis, Carlton Neal Johnson II opened fire at Shoreline Plaza, killing two and wounding five, after a history that included domestic-related cases, allegations of threats, and a court order barring firearm possession. NBC notes that Johnson’s convictions did not automatically disqualify him from carrying a gun, and that authorities had other avenues to restrict firearm access, underscoring gaps in how warnings and past conduct translate into gun restrictions.

Judge Orders 48-Hour Notice Before Trump Memorial Circle Arch Construction

A federal judge, Tanya S. Chutkan, ruled that the Trump administration must give the court 48 hours’ notice before any excavation or construction on the proposed 250‑foot Memorial Circle arch, supplementing the prior 14‑day NHPA-related notice. The order exempts on-site information gathering and cautions that construction cannot begin without final authorization or the 14‑day notice. Interior Secretary Burgum had signaled that groundbreaking would begin soon, but opponents say the arch would overwhelm D.C.'s skyline near Arlington Cemetery.

Trump moves to block BBC access to financial records in documentary-related lawsuit

Trump’s lawyers asked a Miami judge to pause a court order that would force him to disclose detailed financial records to the BBC as part of a lawsuit linked to a 2024 documentary about January 6; they argue the request is overly broad and aims to harm his reputation, seeking to limit disclosures to what’s necessary. The order would require access to hundreds of Trump-family business records by August 6. This comes amid other Trump-media battles, including a defamation suit against the Wall Street Journal and subpoenas to the New York Times; the BBC has apologized for an edit in the documentary, which Trump says used AI. Details on Trump’s net worth remain unclear, though disclosures cited earnings of about $2.2 billion in his first year back in office.

Court Order Halts DHS's Bulk Voter Citizenship Checks via SAVE

A federal judge ordered DHS to roll back upgrades to the SAVE system that turned it into a bulk voter citizenship checker, leading to the disabling of bulk upload and partial SSN searches. Before the halt, SAVE had been used to screen more than 67 million registered voters, flagging thousands as noncitizens—many later found to be citizens. DHS has not clearly confirmed the shutdown of the expanded features, prompting concerns about evading the injunction.

Kennedy Center completes removal of Trump's name after court order

OK AG urges Big 12 to suspend Brendan Sorsby despite court order

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond urged the Big 12 to suspend Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby even though a court order has restored his eligibility after the NCAA deemed him permanently ineligible for extensive wagering; he argues the order applies to the NCAA, not the conference, and calls for sanctions if Texas Tech won’t act. Supporters say the court order stands unless reversed, so Sorsby remains eligible to play, while critics frame the move as political theatrics tied to broader debates over sports governance and antitrust considerations.
