Recent federal court decisions have addressed key actions and legal matters involving the Trump administration.
A federal judge issued a permanent ban on the deployment of federalized National Guard troops in Portland, a ruling that Oregon's Governor Tina Kotek acknowledged. The Trump administration has indicated its intention to appeal this decision, potentially escalating the case to the Supreme Court.
Concurrently, a federal appeals court upheld an order requiring the administration to fully fund Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for 42 million low-income Americans amidst an ongoing government shutdown. Following this, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) confirmed its compliance, stating it would begin fully funding these benefits.
In a separate development, another federal appeals court directed a lower court to reconsider the jurisdiction of Donald Trump's criminal prosecution in Manhattan, where he was previously convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
