Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is promising to move forward with the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Los Angeles despite the waves of unrest. Noem spoke Thursday, hours before a judge directed the president to return control to California over National Guard troops he deployed after protests erupted over the immigration crackdown. But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals quickly put the brakes on that and temporarily blocked the judge's order, which was to go into effect on Friday. The judge’s order said the Guard deployment was illegal and both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded President Donald Trump’s statutory authority.

The Supreme Court is giving an Atlanta family whose home was wrongly raided by the FBI a new day in court. Thursday's decision revives a lawsuit filed after a predawn raid in 2017 when agents pointed guns at a couple and terrified a 7-year-old boy before realizing they were in the wrong house. Trina Martin and her then-boyfriend sued over the ordeal, but lower courts tossed the case. Public interest groups from across the political spectrum had urged the justices to overturn the ruling, saying its reasoning would severely narrow the legal path for people to sue the federal government in law enforcement accountability cases. Martin says she's ecstatic with the court's decision.
