Rady Children's Hospital stopped providing such care on February 6 in response to the current presidential administration's threats to end federal funding to medical institutions that offer gender-affirming healthcare. Superior Court Judge Matthew Braner said the case involved "an extraordinarily thorny issue" that placed the hospital "between a rock and a hard place," but said that ending the care would place the hospital's 1,900 trans youth patients under "a risk of relative degrees of harm," Voice of San Diego reported.
Judge Indira Talwani of the Boston District Court issued a preliminary injunction blocking the termination of the legal status of more than 8,400 immigrants living in the country under family reunification parole, a measure announced by the Department of Homeland Security in late 2025. The decision was issued on Saturday night and prevents the government from ending the humanitarian parole granted to relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent residents from Cuba, Haiti, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

A United States judge has granted an injunction barring Israeli spyware maker the NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp users, saying the firm's software causes direct harm but slashed an earlier damages award of $168m to just $4m. In a ruling on Friday granting WhatsApp owner Meta an injunction to stop NSO's spyware from being used in the messaging service, district judge Phyllis Hamilton said the Israeli firm's conduct causes irreparable harm, adding that there was no dispute that the conduct is ongoing.
The ruling, issued Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, gives the state at least another week, until Oct. 22, to make its case in court. Without the order, the DHS could have allowed the money to be returned to the U.S. Treasury. New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the agency last month, claiming the funding cut was illegal and politically motivated. Gov. Kathy Hochul joined the lawsuit, saying the decision threatened the safety of millions of daily riders.
