9th Circuit in the news: blocks/overrules Trump-era policies, from immigration TPS ends to federal actions. It’s the federal appeals court based in San Francisco.
U.S. federal courts have temporarily blocked the Trump administration's efforts to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Somalis. Judges cited constitutional concerns and the potential for grave risks to affected migrants. The rulings preserve protections for thousands pending further legal proceedings, amid ongoing debates over immigration policy and national interests.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has issued an injunction against a California law that aims to regulate federal law enforcement, citing it as an unconstitutional attempt to directly control federal government functions. The lawsuit was filed by the Trump administration in November, citing safety concerns for officers facing harassment and violence. The court's decision follows a hearing in March, where federal lawyers argued the law violates the Supremacy Clause, while California officials defended its application to all law enforcement without discrimination. The injunction prevents the law's implementation while the case proceeds.
