In the two weeks since the U.S. Supreme Court curtailed federal judges' ability to issue universal injunctions, Trump administration attorneys have begun pushing to expand the decision's limits to other forms of relief used in regulatory challenges and class actions. So far, judges don't appear receptive to those efforts. 

A senior U.S. Department of State official testified Friday that a series of high-profile visa and green card revocations were based on participation in campus protests or other acts that "fostered a hostile environment for Jewish students" and included expressions of support for terrorist organizations.

A Maryland federal judge said Friday she would seek to ensure that Kilmar Abrego Garcia isn't deported without due process again, pressing government attorneys to either adequately guarantee that he'll get sufficient notice and a chance to challenge his removal, or to expect an order from her requiring it.

The Trump administration urged the First Circuit to throw out an injunction enforcing due process protections for immigrants facing deportation to third countries, saying the U.S. Supreme Court concluded the government is likely to succeed on the merits of the challenge.

Government attorneys told the D.C. Circuit that a lower court's injunction stopping President Donald Trump from restricting asylum at the southern border is based on a "stingy" interpretation of his authority, warning that if it's left to stand, it could thwart border security efforts.

Third Circuit Nominee Emil Bove, who is currently serving in the U.S. Department of Justice, in his post-hearing questionnaire obtained by Law360 on Friday, drew what he says is a distinction between condemning violence against law enforcement officers and over-prosecution of Jan. 6 rioters.
