A federal judge in Washington, D.C. dismissed two lawsuits on Friday aimed at blocking the Trump administration’s dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), delivering a major legal win for the White House in its broader effort to consolidate foreign aid operations under the State Department.

U.S. District Judge Lindsay Jenkins ruled that the Trump administration's efforts to force the state and city to comply with federal immigration law was an “end-run around the Tenth Amendment," which protects states from federal overreach.

U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw on Thursday ordered the federal government — again — to reinstate lapsed contracts with legal support and social service providers in order to remedy its breach of the settlement agreement.

Judge Allison Burroughs, who noted in court that she is Jewish, said she would aim to rule quickly in the case.

Federal prosecutors are seeking to drop narco-terrorism charges against a man they have alleged is one of the gang’s leaders.

The state's district judges voted to replace Alina Habba with her top assistant, who was ousted by the Justice Department hours later.

Earlier this month, her attorneys said the court was rushing the process that could determine whether or not the government could seek capital punishment in the case. The government opposed that extension.
