Federal judge pauses law giving law enforcement ability to arrest migrants in Iowa illegally
A federal judge in Iowa paused a state law giving local law enforcement the ability to arrest migrants in the state illegally, saying it is not the state's job, but rather the job of the federal government to enforce immigration laws. Signed into law in April, SF2340 authorizes local law enforcement officials to arrest migrants who have previously been deported or removed from the country, or who have been denied entry in the past. It is similar to a Texas law, which gives that state's law enforcement similar powers.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Biden administration's Title IX expansion from going into effect in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. U.S. District Judge Danny C.

In April, the finalized federal rules officially added "gender identity" to the list of protections from sex-based discrimination for the first time.
