A series of tweets from Politico senior legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney:
BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants β ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI β are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.
YOUNG: "I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it β that this represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against Americaβs LGBTQ community. Thatβs what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out."
MORE YOUNG: "It is palpably clear that these directives and the set of terminated grants here also are designed to frustrate, to stop, research that may bear on the health β weβre talking about health here, the health of Americans, of our LGBTQ community. Thatβs appalling."
YOUNG still going: "Iβve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable. Iβve sat on this bench now for 40 years. Iβve never seen government racial discrimination like this ... I ask myself, how can this be?"
"I have the protection that the founders wrote into the constitution, along with imposing upon me a duty to speak the truth in every case. I try to do that. What if I didnβt have those protections. What if my job was on the line, my profession... Would I have stood up against all this? Would I have said, 'you canβt do this?' You are bearing down on people of color because of their color. The constitution will not permit that."
"Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?"

NEW: Chaos at the ICE detention centre in New Jersey.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested by the DOJ after Members of Congress (apparently being shoved by agents) attempted to include him on a visit.
Baraka has opposed the facility, saying it opened without permits.

Itβs also worth reading the demand letter that GSA, HHS, and Dept of Ed sent to Harvard on Friday. The βviewpoint diversityβ faculty hiring, student admission, and audit demands are WILD. Wildly unconstitutional that is.

Medical schools report steep drop in enrollment of Black and Hispanic students after Supreme Court ruling
Enrollment of Black and Hispanic students in medical schools dropped precipitously last year after the Supreme Court banned the consideration of race in admissions.
"The number of Black enrollees fell by 11.6%...Hispanic enrollees decreased 10.8%. The numbers were even starker for Indigenous students; the number of American Indian or Alaska Natives dropped by 22.1%...Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders dropped by 4.3%."
