FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS

An outspoken Christian conservative attorney from Alabama wants a federal appeals court to revive a Louisiana pastor's damage claims against state officials over long-expired COVID-19 restrictions.

In a 5–4 decision, the Court allowed the White House to end Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” program—for now.

The request comes after a federal judge in Texas blocked the Navy from halting the deployment of Navy SEALs who won't comply with the military's vaccine mandate.

The court denied a request from abortion providers in the state to return the case to a judge who blocked Texas's six-week ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.

A federal court has again rejected a Louisiana pastor's lawsuit over Gov. John Bel Edwards' past COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings.

The Biden administration restarted the Trump-era border policy on a limited scale earlier this month to comply with court orders.

Senate Bill 8 barred abortions as early as six weeks, before many people know they are pregnant. It is the strictest abortion ban in the nation.

Women's health providers on Monday made a last-ditch plea asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Texas' restrictive new abortion law, which becomes effective...

Senate Bill 8 is poised to officially become law on Wednesday.

Revival of 'remain in Mexico' policy could have deadly consequences for asylum seekers, advocates warn

The Biden administration says it will continue its legal fight against the revival of a Trump-era policy that requires asylum-seekers to stay in Mexico while their cases are pending.

The ruling is yet another blow to reproductive rights advocates after Texas passed a law this year that goes into effect Sept. 1 banning abortions as early as six weeks. That law is also currently being challenged in court.

The justices noted that Congress is actively considering the question of including women in selective service registration and that women have been able to serve in combat roles for years.

Voting-rights groups sued with lightning speed to reverse an order Gov. "It also results in predictable disproportionate impacts on minority communities that [are] already hit hardest by the COVID-19 crisis. Postal Service, sandbagged by Trump administration budget cutting, can deliver ballots in a timely manner during the high-turnout election.St. Mary's University Law School Professor Albert Kauffman, who follows voting-rights issues, said he expects courts to act quickly to resolve the issue. "It's hard to believe the Fifth Circuit could be that inconsistent," he said.
