AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on a lawsuit by the Trump administration being thrown out.
A federal judge on Monday said the Trump regime is “absolutely forbidden” from removing mistakenly deported man Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the U.S., for now. Judge Paula Xinis blocked Abrego Garcia's deportation to Uganda until she can hold a hearing to determine whether the administration will let him contest his removal to the third country. The bid to deport him comes just 3 days after he was freed from custody in a criminal case filed against him in federal court in Tennessee. He filed suit after he was taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody Monday when he reported for a check-in at ICE's Baltimore field office.

In breaking news, Trump is 0-3 trying to convince Federal Judges to bail him out and mislead the public into thinking the sealed, secret skimpy Epstein and Maxwell grand jury files are the “Epstein Files” as Judge Berman points the finger back at Trump and his own DOJ to release the files. Michael Popok looks at all 3 orders and how each judge made sure the victims were protected and heard from, before telling Trump to “release the damn files.” Ethos: Get your FREE quote at https://ethos.com/legalaf Remember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts: MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcast Legal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-af MissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trial The PoliticsGirl Podcast: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-politicsgirl-podcast The Influence Continuum: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-influence-continuum-with-dr-steven-hassan Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohen The Weekend Show: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-weekend-show Burn the Boats: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/burn-the-boats Majority 54: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/majority-54 Political Beatdown: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdown On Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellman Uncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncovered Coalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

Two separate federal court rulings have struck legal and financial blows against Elon Musk and his business interests, raising questions about whether the world's richest man is losing leverage in the court system he's long relied on to defend his corporate strategies.On Monday, a judge in Delaware formally invalidated Musk's $56 billion Tesla compensation package, denying the company's request to move its incorporation to Texas. That same day, a federal judge in California ruled against Musk's attempt to dismiss a lawsuit accusing him of illegally firing employees at SpaceX who had circulated an internal letter criticizing his behavior.The Delaware decision directly affects the most valuable CEO pay package ever created. Judge Kathaleen McCormick denied Tesla's motion to transfer its incorporation from Delaware to Texas, which the company had hoped would retroactively affirm shareholder approval of Musk's compensation. She ruled that the original shareholder vote on Musk's 2018 pay package had not been fully informed due to undisclosed conflicts of interest among Tesla's board members.Tesla attempted to shift its corporate charter after McCormick voided the pay package in January, stating that Musk had undue influence over the supposedly independent directors who approved it. Monday's ruling now cements her earlier opinion, keeping Tesla under Delaware jurisdiction and invalidating the proposed Texas move.Tesla claimed that 77% of shareholders voted in favor of reincorporation to Texas. McCormick concluded that such votes did not repair the flawed process used to approve Musk's compensation. She emphasized that the Texas vote did not constitute a ratification of the original pay package because shareholders still lacked full information at the time.In California, Judge Maggie B. Corley rejected Musk's request to throw out a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by eight former SpaceX employees. These workers claim they were fired after distributing a letter calling Musk's online behavior damaging to the company's culture. Musk's lawyers argued that the letter itself disrupted SpaceX's mission and violated internal policies.Corley dismissed those arguments. She stated that the terminated employees had exercised protected rights under the National Labor Relations Act. She ruled that Musk's defense failed to show that the firings were lawful or that the internal letter disrupted business operations to a degree that would justify dismissal.The California ruling moves the case toward trial. It also affirms the position of the National Labor Relations Board, which has supported the fired workers' claims since 2022. If SpaceX loses at trial, the company could face orders to reinstate the employees or pay damages.The dual rulings came just hours apart. Neither involved criminal charges, but both potentially carry long-term consequences. Musk could lose tens of billions in stock options if the Tesla compensation package remains void. He also risks reputational harm and further scrutiny into labor practices at his companies.The Delaware ruling may increase shareholder pressure on Tesla's board to renegotiate Musk's compensation. Several investors have raised concerns about the pay package's scale and the influence Musk holds over board members. The board has not signaled plans for a revised compensation deal.The California decision draws attention to Musk's management style and public conduct, which critics say can alienate workers and investors. The internal letter cited examples of Musk's tweets and online behavior as distractions that conflicted with SpaceX's workplace values.Musk's legal team has not yet announced plans to appeal either ruling. Tesla has not released a statement following the Delaware court's decision, and SpaceX has declined to comment on the wrongful termination case.

A federal judge has ordered ICE to improve the conditions at its Manhattan facility, which advocates and formerly detained immigrants describe as unsanitary and overcrowded. Gwynne Hogan, senior reporter for The City, talks about her reporting on the squalid conditions and the temporary order.
This Day in Maine for Thursday, August 14th, 2025.
A federal judge in St. Paul is set to hear the case of a 25-year-old Salvadoran mother who has been in ICE detention for more than two weeks. Antonia Aguilar Maldonado, who lives in Lake Elmo with her husband and two U.S. citizen children, was detained by Homeland Security agents in July while heading to work. An immigration judge granted her release on a $10,000 bond, but ICE blocked it using a policy aimed at restricting bond for individuals who entered the U.S. without inspection. Her attorneys argue the policy shouldn't apply to her, given her age at entry and full compliance with immigration proceedings.MPR News senior reporter Sarah Thamer has been following the story and joined MPR News host Nina Moini with the latest on the case.Read more: Minnesota mother remains in ICE custody despite judge's release order

In a major setback to Trump's attack on Blue States and State Sovereignty, a federal judge has just dismissed one of half a dozen falsely labeled “Sanctuary City” suits brought by Trump's DOJ against Blue States and Cities and his political rivals who refuse to cooperate with funding or personnel to help Trump enforce his depraved Immigration policies. Michael Popok explains how this ruling will be the blueprint used by federal judges in NY, California, NJ, and other states as Federal Judges find new ways to deal Trump more losses.

Judge Yeakel discusses his upbringing, education at the University of Texas, and early legal career, sharing insights into the Texas legal market of the late 1960s. The conversation covers notable legal and sports figures, memorable anecdotes, and the evolution of legal practice.

He reflects on his career, retirement, and ongoing involvement in the legal community.
Unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior, federal district trial court Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong in Los Angeles has decided that it is she, rather than the Article II Executive Branch, who is in charge of managing the operations of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She has issued an order that—essentially—instructs ICE that they are obligated to obey the law. More specifically, her order prohibits ICE from improperly profiling suspects based solely on their apparent race or skin color. Such race-based profiling is, of course, unlawful already. That said, profiling generally is not unlawful, the profiling must merely be based on lawful considerations beyond solely race or skin-color. Profiling that incorporates additional factors unrelated to race or skin-color are perfectly lawful—such as presence in an environment known to be frequented by illegal migrant third-world invaders, the inability of the suspect to speak English, and other allowable factors. Indeed, ICE needs only mere reasonable suspicion to stop and investigate a suspected illegal migrant third-world invader who is located anywhere within a full 100 miles of a US border—and, of course, the entirety of Los Angeles falls well within this 100 mile range of the US west coast. Further, the unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal district trial court Judge Frimpong has also decided that she has the authority to micro-manage the operations of the Article II Executive Branch agency of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, contrary to the will of the Article II Executive Branch president elected by the whole of the American people to carry out our political will.The #1 guide for understanding when using force to protect yourself is legal.

Federal judge blocks President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship nationwide by certifying a class action lawsuit; Senate takes up the first judicial nomination of the second Trump Administration, passing a procedural vote for Whitney Hermandorfer to be a federal appeals court judge for the 6th Circuit; Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson tells a meeting of the Indianapolis Bar Assn the state of U.S. democracy is what keeps her up at night; Senate Appropriations Committee gets started on the first three FY2026 federal spending bills, even though there is no agreement between Republicans and Democrats on how much total spending there should be. One of those bills is put in limbo after a Democratic amendment passes to block President Donald Trump's decision to move the FBI HQ to the Reagan Int'l Trade Building in DC instead of a site in Greenbelt, Maryland that had been chosen after a long competition, and then Republicans withdraw support from the underlying spending bill; Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he had a 'frank conversation' with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and expressed the U.S.'s frustration over not making progress to end the war in Ukraine; Secretary Rubio also asked about reports that someone has been impersonating him in texts and calls using artificial intelligence, contacting foreign ministers.

The Trump administration has been consistently violating the due process rights of immigrants by trying to deport them before they can assert their constitutional rights to notice and opportunity to be heard. To stop this abusive practice, the federal court judges in Maryland instituted a two-day pause rule before they could be deported. This happens if someone files a petition with the court when they are detained. Trump then had his Department of Justice attorneys file a lawsuit against every single federal district judge in Maryland to try to defeat the two-day pause rule.Glenn discusses the new reporting and the newly filed lawsuit against all federal district judges in Maryland.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Michael Popok is back with Karen Friedman Agnifilo with the Legal AF podcast, the #1 law and politics podcast on this week's YouTube rankings, and they take on: 1) a judge finding that the Trump Administration's "evidence" did not support holding Kilmar Abrego in jail nor prove that he was in the MS13 gang; 2) Trump suing all the federal district judges in Maryland in a blatant example of forum shopping; 3) the ultimate DOJ insider blowing the whistle on the DOJ and its assault on federal judges and its impact on the confirmation hearings of Trump's top lawyer Emil Bove for a lifetime appeals court judge position; 4) the Trump Administration running back to the Supreme Court because a Federal Judge ruled that he still has jurisdiction to stop removals without due process to third world countries; 5) E Jean Carroll winning again for the second time in 2 weeks at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to affirm her almost $100 million in judgments against Trump, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

The [CB]/[DS] was running a shadow economic system which distorted the actual economy. Jerome Powell says the quiet part out loud. Tariffs must go. They know Trump is setting up a parallel economy. The judiciary is now losing respect. The Federal Judges are now going against the SC and Roberts will eventually need to step in. Never interfere with an enemy while they are in the process of destroying themselves. The [DS] is trying to keep the war going, Trump shuts it down. He gave the peace deal a 12 hour period, I do believe this was done to see what moves the [DS] was going to pull. Trump shuts down Iran and Israel, peace is now going to spread through out the world. Trump showed the world who is in control. Trump is now telling the people who to primary, the hunt is on .

This is a departure from his administration's earlier “maximum pressure” campaign, which since February 2025 aimed to reduce Iran's oil exports to zero by targeting Chinese refineries and Iran's shadow fleet of tankers. The U.S. had recently imposed sanctions on Chinese “teapot” refineries and port operators for processing Iranian oil, disrupting some trade. Trump's comment could signal a pause or reversal of these measures, allowing China to continue importing Iranian crude without immediate penalties. Trump's hope that China will “purchase plenty from the U.S.” suggests this could be part of a broader trade strategy. By allowing China to buy Iranian oil, Trump might be aiming to negotiate increased Chinese purchases of U.S. oil or other goods, offsetting the impact of his tariff policies. This could also be a diplomatic gesture to reduce tensions with China amid ongoing trade disputes or to encourage China to pressure Iran into nuclear deal negotiations, as some analysts suggest. https://twitter.com/SecScottBessent/status/1937218178574123382 up by Washington's negligence has led to human suffering on a massive scale and a severe market distortion. President Trump is the first leader in a generation to take this problem seriously. This is why the administration is so committed to passing the One Big Beautiful Bill. This legislation is just as much an immigration bill as it is a tax bill. It will finish the President's border wall and provide federal law enforcement with resources to hire thousands of new personnel to combat illegal immigration, drug cartels, and human trafficking. The goal is to end exploitation in black markets and secure the border for years to come. The American people called for immigration sanity by voting for President Trump. It's time for Congress to answer the call.

Immigration raids in Los Angeles spark three days of protests. President Trump deploys the National Guard to the city against the wishes of California Governor Gavin Newsom. As federal judges serve as a check on the power of President Trump's administration, some judges extend their own power over the lives of those who work for them. And, six months after massive fires destroyed entire communities in Los Angeles, NPR kicks off a week of climate solutions reporting with a focus on housing.Want more comprehensive analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?
