First Circuit Reverses TPS Blockades for Ethiopia and South Sudan

The First Circuit reversed district-court orders blocking the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Ethiopia and South Sudan, ruling that such blocks conflicted with the Supreme Court’s Mullin v. Doe decision and cannot halt TPS terminations on non-constitutional grounds; the three-judge panel (two Biden appointees and one Trump appointee) thus allowed TPS terminations to proceed, a perceived victory for the administration amid ongoing immigration litigation.

1st Circuit blocks Trump mail-in voting order across 23 states

A federal appeals court (the 1st U.S. Circuit) refused to lift an injunction blocking key parts of Trump’s March executive order to tighten mail-in voting in 23 states, saying states must respond now to looming deadlines as federal agencies prepare new rules. The lower court had found aspects of the order unconstitutional, and the DOJ sought a brief stay pending appeal; the ruling keeps the injunction in place while the case advances.

DOJ Moves to Dismiss Appeal, Wind Permitting Freeze Unblocked

The Department of Justice filed to dismiss its appeal of a federal court’s December ruling that vacated the Trump administration’s wind permitting moratorium, effectively reopening federal wind project approvals under existing law. The case—brought by New York and 16 states plus a trade group—centers on the pause of onshore and offshore wind permits; the court’s decision vacated the permit pause while keeping the lease withdrawal in place. The dismissal requires approval from the First Circuit, which is typically granted when both parties consent. This development means developers can pursue permits under current regulations, with further updates to follow.
