A federal judge on Friday said he would not allow President Donald Trump's administration to "terrorize" Minnesota's 5,600 refugees by arresting and detaining them under a new policy that "turns the refugees' American Dream into a dystopian nightmare."

JUST IN: Trump admin says tariff refund process will proceed but may take long time, opposes speeding up court process. DOJ doesn't say it plans to seek #SCOTUS rehearing, but suggests Congress may act although Trump said flatly last week he would not. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

Trump again floats ‘one more term’ as he rails against Ilhan Omar and Supreme Court tariffs smackdown in Texas

DOJ is fighting VOS Selection's bid to get paid back for the illegal tariffs it paid right away, claiming that they're just trying to be the center of attention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DOJ tried & failed to impose protective order on 1 of 2 defendants charged with assaulting some of Greg Bovino's goons at Roosevelt High the day of Renee Good's shooting, in part bc Pam Bondi violated sealing order by treating the defendant like a trophy. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

US farmers looking to President Donald Trump for stability on tariffs are only getting more uncertainty after the recent US Supreme Court ruling.

Trump wants to declare a state of emergency to seize control of YOUR vote! There is no legal basis for this: None Apparently someone forgot to tell him what happened last time when we took him to court & won All in this week's publisher's note on @contrariannews.org 👇 -TN

Democrats in Congress need to take steps NOW to remove Trump from power using every (legal) means available. Defund Trump's government, vote for impeachment, file lawsuits to invoke 25th Amendment etc. We can not wait until November! My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/the-us-nee...

By striking down Trump’s tariffs, the Supreme Court has shown that it isn’t a rubber stamp for the president—but that doesn’t mean consumers and importers should expect permanent relief, Idrees Kahloon argues:

Western Maryland farmers and small businesses were hit hard by Trump’s reckless, illegal tariffs—costing hardworking Maryland families about $1,744 per household, $4B statewide. Even Trump’s Supreme Court ruled them unconstitutional.

There is a real argument that the Trump administration's ICE excesses are radicalizing judges of all political stripes against him and his admin. Decisions made by ICE (and the agency's general shrug at court orders) have dramatically brought down DOJ's reputation along with it.

"Women in tight uniforms and maggots in the soft serve: Two ex-employees sue Trump’s N.J. golf club" Abraham Gutman for @inquirer.com [How the heck did I miss this story from January?!]

Lawyers in President Donald Trump's Department of Justice made some "significant" admissions in court on Thursday that could doom its prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, according to one expert.

The Trump administration now faces more than 2,000 tariff lawsuits, with more firms filing after the Supreme Court's ruling

Democrats' $1,700 refund pitch inverts Trump's own playbook for generating tariff support, promising $2,000 dividend checks amid the policy's broad unpopularity.

My team and I have been anticipating this for months. It is unconstitutional and illegal. The media should note: Last time he issued an EO about voting, we sued and won. If Trump issues such an order we will sue again and we will win again.

I have worked on 264 legal cases & matters against the Trump administration, including helping secure the injunction to stop his first executive order on elections If he tries this, it will be 265 This is unconstitutional & insane

Learning Resources, an Illinois toy company, says it paid more $10 million in tariffs. www.vox.com/podcasts/480...

A federal judge on Thursday rejected the nation’s top historic preservation group’s attempt to block to President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project, but also suggested a possible roadmap for the group to revive the challenge.

"It is now simply a standard, often unmentioned part of our politics that those who the president dislikes, within his own party or outside it, will be the target of stochastic terror."

A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from cutting off funding for 22 Democratic-led states to administer food stamp benefits unless they turned over data on millions of people who received the aid.

NEW: When anti-ICE protesters disrupted a church service, the Trump administration vowed to stop at nothing to protect religious liberty. But congregations across the country who welcome immigrants say ICE has been violating their rights on a mass scale. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

A Minnesota judge threatened the Trump administration with criminal contempt on Thursday over repeated ignoring of court orders.

“.. every day that the Trump administration waits to implement this [tariff refund] system, it risks encountering new hurdles .. that would prevent the government from disgorging itself of ill-gotten tax revenues. Maybe that’s the point.” @scottlincicome.bsky.social www.cato.org/blog/sore-lo...

Trump DOJ Officials GRILLED in New Abrego Garcia Court Hearing! youtu.be/-a2dGMFYUuQ?...

In the 6am ET hour tomorrow I'll be joining @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social to explain why Trump's possible emergency election takeover EO is illegal & why we will smack it down in court if he tries it like we did with his last one Please join us👇

That's a huge loss. Also makes federal jobs suck.

NEW: Minnesota's top federal judge is threatening to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt if they continue defying court orders in immigration cases. "One way or another, ICE will comply." www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Far from being deterred by the 5th circuit, federal judges in Texas appear to be ordering the release of more ICE detainees than before on due process/constitutional grounds. Here is Judge Jason Pulliam, a Trump appointee, joining their ranks. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Congress and the courts are refusing to give Trump what he wants, so he’s concocting a new plan to seize control of the election. Here’s what you need to know: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Lawyers for indicted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro asked a judge to dismiss the narco-terrorism case against him, accusing the Trump administration of interfering with his ability to fund his defense.

President Donald Trump may continue constructing a 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the White House, a Washington federal judge held in a ruling that dealt an initial blow to historic preservationists who tried to halt the project.

A judge struck down a Trump administration policy to deport immigrants to countries where they had never been before.

NEW: The Treasury, IRS and DOJ Offices of Inspector General must investigate the potential conflicts of interest and constitutional violations posed by President Trump's unprecedented $10 billion lawsuit. So we just filed a complaint.

The Trump administration is weaponizing government agencies to censor speech that the president doesn't like. This week, we joined a brief supporting Media Matters, arguing that courts must intervene and prevent these biased and intimidating practices that threaten our First Amendment rights.

NEW: It’s abundantly clear Trump will stop at nothing to undermine the midterms this fall — and the DOJ is his weapon of choice. But experts say those efforts could be hindered by the department’s incompetence and inexperience, weak claims and consistent record of misleading the courts.

Trump’s oil blockade has pushed Cuba to the brink, with reserves projected to run dry by March, and even though the Supreme Court struck down his tariff threats on countries shipping oil to the island, the US-made humanitarian crisis continues to deepen.

Important to note that last month the Trump admin tried a similar thing for childcare funding and got smacked down almost immediately once sued.

NEWS: Matthew Isihara, the first DOJ attorney to be held in contempt of court for years, is now appealing that ruling to Eighth Circuit. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

JUST IN: Judge Boulee has *canc eled* Friday's hearing regarding the Trump administration's seizure of Fulton County ballots, instead ordering the two sides into mediation until March 18. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A major win!! A federal judge in Boston has ruled that the Trump administration’s policy of summarily deporting immigrants to third countries (countries other than their nation of origin) is unlawful.
