A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling that halted President Donald Trump’s executive order to create a federal list of eligible voters and limit delivery of mail ballots only to people on that list. The weekend ruling rejected the Trump administration’s effort to move forward with the mail-in voting restrictions in 23 U.S. states that sued ahead of November’s midterm elections. Also, the Trump administration has acknowledged in court documents that it canceled $7.6 billion in grants for hundreds of clean energy projects “based solely on "political identity." They included 16 states that voted for Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to keep one of its largest detention facilities open for at least another year. This decision comes despite reports of human rights abuses. ICE plans to extend the no-bid contract of the firm running Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas, through September 2027. This could cost taxpayers an additional $776 million. The facility has faced criticism from Democratic members of Congress and advocacy organizations. Reports allege detainees have been mistreated since its opening in 2025. ICE argues that relocating detainees or changing contractors would be impractical and costly.

Burnham says the visit Monday is intended to underline “unwavering” British support for Ukraine. Zelenskyy’s trip is the first by a foreign leader since Burnham took office a week ago.
