A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from forcing 20 Democratic-led states to cooperate with immigration enforcement in order to receive billions of dollars in transportation grant funding. Chief U.S. District Judge John McConnell in Providence, Rhode Island granted the states' request for an injunction barring the Department of policy, saying the states were likely to succeed on the merits of some or all of their claims. The Trump administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A U.S. federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration rule that would have allowed employers to deny women birth control coverage based on religious or moral objections. The ruling, issued by Judge Wendy Beetlestone in Philadelphia, grants a preliminary injunction against the policy, which was set to take effect on Monday. The decision comes in response to a lawsuit filed by Pennsylvania and New Jersey, arguing that the rule violates the Affordable Care Act and undermines women's access to healthcare. The injunction will remain in place until the court reaches a final decision on the merits of the case.
