A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order directing President Donald Trump to return control of the National Guard to California. The order takes effect at noon Friday. It says the deployment of the Guard was illegal and both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump’s statutory authority. The White House had no immediate comment on the ruling.

Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia have asked a federal judge in Maryland to impose fines and other sanctions against the Trump administration. They're arguing that it flagrantly ignored court orders for several weeks to return him to the U.S. from El Salvador. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys say the administration claimed to be powerless to retrieve him. And yet it was secretly building a human smuggling case against him, the lawyers said. The government returned Abrego Garcia last week to face those charges. The U.S. says the lawsuit over his deportation should be dismissed because it followed the court's order to bring him back.

The Supreme Court is giving an Atlanta family whose home was wrongly raided by the FBI a new day in court. Thursday's decision revives a lawsuit filed after a predawn raid in 2017 when agents pointed guns at a couple and terrified a 7-year-old boy before realizing they were in the wrong house. Trina Martin and her then-boyfriend sued over the ordeal, but lower courts tossed the case. Public interest groups from across the political spectrum had urged the justices to overturn the ruling, saying its reasoning would severely narrow the legal path for people to sue the federal government in law enforcement accountability cases. Martin says she's ecstatic with the court's decision.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has vetoed a proposal that would ban teaching antisemitism at the state’s public schools. The proposal would expose educators who violate the new rules to discipline and lawsuits that they would personally be responsible for covering. Teachers and administrators at public K-12 schools, colleges and universities would be prohibited from teaching or promoting antisemitism or antisemitic actions that create a hostile environment. The Democratic governor said on Tuesday that the bill is not about antisemitism but rather about attacking teachers. The bill’s chief sponsor said his proposal would create accountability when educators fail to protect students from the rise in antisemitism since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
