Judge finds USPS mail-ballot rule violates voting injunction

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled the Trump administration violated her nationwide injunction by issuing and pursuing new USPS mail-ballot design rules, rejecting the argument that merely publishing the rule didn’t breach the order; the injunction remains in effect until after the 2026 midterms and Talwani declined to grant the LWV's requested remedies. Separately, the Supreme Court paused a related challenge and left room for action on the final rule, with the administration arguing this supports vacating the injunction; states involved plan to sue once the final rule is published.

Voter groups push court to halt USPS mail-voting rule before election

A coalition of voting-rights groups filed an emergency motion asking a federal court to enforce an injunction blocking USPS from finalizing a Trump-era rule restricting mail-in voting ahead of the November election. The USPS says the rule would take effect only with Supreme Court relief and would have no impact before November, while the DOJ plans to oppose the emergency request. Judge Indira Talwani rejected DOJ’s request for extra briefing time and ordered filings by Aug. 25, with the final rule publication slated for Aug. 26; the case centers on preventing disruption to voters and election officials this fall.

Courts' split over 2022 class eligibility spurs fifth-season chaos

Friday highlighted the chaotic patchwork of 2022-class eligibility: a federal appeals court stayed the Colorado injunction that let those athletes pursue a fifth season, while a Louisville judge granted 13 athletes a broad temporary restraining order shielding them from NCAA rules and allowing a one-week transfer-portal window. Hutchinson and Mack remain protected by the Louisville TRO, Perry does not, and other athletes nationwide face new ineligibilities depending on court rulings. The NCAA says it will appeal and expects more local filings as seasons approach, signaling an eligibility landscape driven by court decisions rather than a single national policy.

Undercover surveillance at Minneapolis church tests federal injunction

An undercover federal agent attended a May training at University Baptist Church in Minneapolis and conducted surveillance around the church, potentially violating a February 2026 federal injunction that bars immigration enforcement actions at church properties; the church posted notices claiming protection, and agents reportedly surveilled the site, photographed cars, and ran license plates as part of broader investigations tied to anti-ICE protests in Minnesota.

Court bid to resume White House ballroom work faces high-stakes review

Trump asked the Supreme Court to allow continued construction of a White House ballroom while litigation proceeds after a DC Circuit ruling upheld an injunction blocking the ballroom. The justices have until Aug. 21 to act. A central issue is whether the National Trust for Historic Preservation has standing to sue over aesthetic concerns and whether the injunction should halt only the ballroom or all related construction.

Colorado Judge Narrows NCAA Fifth-Year Injunction, Keeps Transfer Rules Intact

Judge Charlotte Sweeney clarified that the injunction covers only a fifth season for Class of 2022 athletes who exhausted four years, and does not halt transfer rules or the House settlement; the age-based portion of the eligibility rule is not blocked, so players who were 20 or older at the start of their five-year window aren’t covered. Ghost transfer rules remain in effect, the NCAA plans an expedited appeal, and the age-based implementation begins this summer with 2027 recruits treated as age-based-only.

Colorado Judge Grants Class-Wide Injunction Extending Fifth-Year Eligibility for 2022 Grads

A Colorado judge issued a class-wide preliminary injunction ordering the NCAA to declare eligible all high school class of 2022 athletes who exhausted four seasons of eligibility, effectively opening the door to a potential fifth year and prompting questions about roster moves, waivers, and how the NCAA will respond amid congressional action on college sports policy.
