Brazil court orders Microsoft to reinstate Xbox account and compensate user after repurchase advice

A Brazilian small-claims court ordered Microsoft to restore a suspended Xbox account and all its games after the company told the hacked user to repurchase the library; Microsoft must pay about $400 (R$2,000) in damages and could face further penalties if it fails to comply within 15 days. The case, which centers on digital ownership of game accounts and related data, is a first‑instance decision and not a nationwide precedent.

Judge Drops Proud Boys’ Jan. 6 Case After DOJ Push, Citing Separation of Powers

A federal judge reluctantly approved the DOJ’s motion to drop the Proud Boys’ Jan. 6 seditious-conspiracy case with prejudice, saying he had no authority to override prosecutors who vacated the convictions. The decision ends one of the riot’s most high-profile prosecutions and aligns with Trump-era pardons and DOJ moves to erase related convictions, while Tarrio had been pardoned and others’ convictions were left for appeal or had their sentences commuted; DOJ is also weighing vacating related cases like the Oath Keepers as Amit Mehta weighs those decisions.

Trump seeks to stall Carroll payout as Supreme Court rehearing bid under review

Trump asks a New York judge to delay disbursing about $5.8 million to E. Jean Carroll until the Supreme Court acts on his rehearing petition; with cert denied on June 29, collection now hinges on unresolved appellate events per a 2023 agreement, and Carroll’s side urges immediate payment while Trump argues funds should be held and may be repaid if the verdict is reversed.

USPS seeks stay as it appeals ruling on Trump’s mail-voting directive

USPS asked a federal court to stay its injunction blocking the implementation of Trump’s mail-voting directive while it appeals a ruling that the proposed rule violated a 2021 NAACP settlement; Democrats warned the pause could disrupt midterm election administration, and USPS plans to petition the D.C. Circuit. A separate Massachusetts ruling enjoined the order in 23 states, and lawmakers have pressed USPS to comply with court orders.

Alaska judge clears namesake Dan J. Sullivan for Senate primary ballot

A Superior Court judge overturned the Division of Elections disqualification of Dan J. Sullivan, a Petersburg teacher who shares a name with Sen. Dan Sullivan, allowing him to appear in the August Republican primary; the ruling says the division's good-faith requirement wasn't grounded in the Constitution, Alaska law, or its own regulations and can be appealed to the Alaska Supreme Court as ballots are prepared ahead of Alaska's top-four primary and ranked-choice general election.

Court Blocks Core Provisions of Trump's 2025 Anti-Voting Order

A federal judge permanently blocked major provisions of President Trump’s March 2025 anti-voting executive order, ruling they exceeded his authority and violated NVRA/UOCAVA. The decision makes prior temporary relief permanent, barring citizenship-proof requirements for federal voter forms, changes to military/overseas voting documentation, threats to withhold federal funds over form use, and postmark-based ballot deadlines in the multistate suit, reinforcing state control of election rules ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Court clears path for faster deportations under expedited removal

A U.S. federal appeals court revived the Trump administration's bid to expand expedited removal, clearing the way for faster deportations of undocumented immigrants by widening the hearing-exempt fast-track policy beyond border-area triggers; the ruling, written by Judges Justin Walker and Neomi Rao, overturned an earlier block from a trial court, while a dissent warned of due‑process concerns and critics said the decision could lead to unlawful removals.

Court blocks DHS from purging voters via expanded citizenship database

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. blocked DHS from using its expanded SAVE citizenship database to purge voters, vacating the 2025 modifications as illegal under the Privacy Act, the Administrative Procedure Act, and the Social Security Act and returning the system to its pre-change state. The ruling halts mass voter verification via SAVE and signals a major setback to efforts to centralize citizenship data for elections, with an appeal likely forthcoming.

Kennedy Center weighs phased reopening after court blocks full two-year closure

A federal judge blocked the Kennedy Center’s plan for a full two-year closure for renovations, and the venue says it will operate in a limited mode after July 5 with public spaces open but stages largely silent; the center will present renovation options to the board for a mid-July vote, including partial closures and continued access, while critics argue the campus could effectively shutter if programming isn’t restored.
