"Plaintiffs bring this civil action to challenge Defendants’ decision to place allegedly unlawful conditions on all future grants issued under the Violence Against Women Act. See generally Compl. Declaratory & Injunctive Relief (“Compl.”), Dkt. No. 1. Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction and for Relief under 5 U.S.C. § 705 (“Plaintiffs’ Motion”), Dkt. No. 15. Because the Court concludes that the challenged conditions run afoul of the prohibition against arbitrary and capricious agency action, 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A), the Court grants in part and denies in part Plaintiffs’ Motion."

A lawyer for hundreds of Epstein survivors had two words for the Trump DOJ's claim that there's nothing more to investigate.

That's a "cowardly abdication."

"The class representatives’ injury—the denial of birthright citizenship—is concrete, particularized, and imminent, and the class members—children whom the Executive Order strips of citizenship—suffer the same injury."

Read the full order here. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Whereas the children in the class would be irreparably harmed without an injunction, the government will not be harmed at all because the Executive Order is almost certainly unconstitutional, and the government is not harmed by preventing unconstitutional conduct.

Check out @klasfeldreports.com & @allrisenews.com very first hot take on Legal AF:

We understand that Vice President JD Vance will hold a strategy session this evening at his residence with administration officials. Missing from this group is, of course, any survivor of the vicious crimes of convicted perjurer and sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. Their voices must be heard, above all. We also call upon the House subcommittee to invite survivors to testify. As Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s siblings, we offer to represent her in her stead and we hope the administration takes our call to action seriously. Any information that may be released by the government should take into account the survivors who wish to remain anonymous, for their safety and well-being. They should be consulted first. We reiterate that Ghislaine Maxwell should have remained in a maximum security prison and does not deserve the luxuries currently afforded her. Sky and Amanda Roberts Danny and Lanette Wilson

Virginia Giuffre's siblings react to the White House-DOJ "strategy session" on Epstein. Missing from the group: survivors.

"Their voices must be heard, above all."

They call for survivor testimony in Congress.

In a footnote, she expresses "horror" any potential pardon or leniency for Maxwell.

Attorneys for Jeffrey Epstein survivors say history is repeating itself with Trump's DOJ "sidelining them from critical decisions."

It suggests that "victims are, at best, an afterthought to the current administration."
