Attribution: Gage Skidmore On Friday July 11, 2025, a federal judge ruled that the government’s ongoing immigration raids in Southern California and its denial of legal counsel to detained immigrants likely violates the Constitution. In so ruling, the court issued two temporary restraining orders (TROs) barring the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other federal agencies from continuing these actions in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo. (Pedro Vasquez Perdomo v. Kristi Noem (2:25-cv-05605) The first TRO prohibits immigration agents from stopping individuals without reasonable suspicion and bars law enforcement from relying solely on the following factors—alone or in combination—to form reasonable suspicion for a stop including (1) apparent race or ethnicity (2) speaking Spanish or English with an accent (3) presence in a particular location like a bus stop, car wash, day laborer…

Last month, the Supreme Court ruled that lower courts cannot issue nationwide injunctions blocking the Trump administration’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship, except in class action lawsuits. Prior to the Supreme Court’s ruling, at least three different lawsuits had secured nationwide injunctions protecting all individuals potentially affected by Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship. However, the Court’s ruling scaled back those protections, potentially leaving some children unprotected. To safeguard all families across the country and address any gaps left by prior legal actions, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a class-action lawsuit, Barbara v. Donald J. Trump to stop the government’s enforcement of the order against all current or future babies born or after February 20, 2025, where: (1) that child’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the child’s father was not…

For the Balkinization Symposium on Richard Primus, The Oldest Constitutional Question: Enumeration and Federal Power (Harvard University Press, 2025).William Baude The spirit of William Winslow Crosskey is smiling.Crosskey was a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago, a few hours drive from the University of Michigan, who published his magnum opus in 1954. It was a two-volume book called Politics and the Constitution in the History of the United States, whose central claim was that the courts and the legal profession had wrongly come to believe that the federal government was one of limited enumerated powers. According to Crosskey “the actual, historic meaning of the document – that is, the truly intended character of the Government of the United States” had become lost. It was “a matter unknown, alike, to our accepted constitutional law, and our conventional American histories.”Crosskey wrote: The present…

United Nations member States are formulating their positions on a proposed treaty to prevent and punish crimes against humanity, ahead of a January 2026 “preparatory committee” meeting that will lay the groundwork for amendments and full negotiations on a draft that has been under consideration since 2019. Some States and advocates specifically favor adding language that recognizes gender apartheid as an international crime. That presents a unique opportunity to fill a gap in international law to protect the rights — and lives — of women and girls. Over the next four years at the U.N. General Assembly, States will offer amendments and debate the proposed treaty. The process, laid out in a December 2024 resolution, is scheduled to conclude in 2029. The final result is intended to be an essential addition to international law; while crimes against humanity have proliferated around the world, there is currently no specific and comprehensive international…

The 2025 Reconciliation Law (informally known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”), signed into law on July 4, 2025 transformed dramatically from the version that was introduced in the House Rules Committee’s 22-hour meeting on May 21-22. Between that committee meeting and the law’s eventual signing ceremony, nearly all of the restrictions on abortion care and gender-affirming care were removed. What remains is a Medicaid funding provision designed to defund health care providers who provide family planning and related services. Shortly after the law’s passage, even the remaining provision quickly faced legal challenge, with a federal judge blocking its enforcement. In this post, we explore the law, from inception to enactment, and examine how what remains will impact reproductive health care going forward. The House version included broader restrictions The version of the bill that came out of the House Rules Committee was approved by…

As Jack Goldsmith observed in February, one of the “innovations” of the second Trump presidency has been to “cut down or eliminate” the legal interpretive authority of the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) and “center that authority firmly in the White House like never before.” OLC’s culture and tradition of independent thinking, once viewed as virtues, are now considered obstructions to President Trump’s agenda. Perhaps rehabilitating itself with the White House to some extent, OLC popped into view in May to opine that the Antiquities Act of 1906 should be understood to provide the President with unlimited power to abolish national monuments, like Devils Tower in Wyoming, Muir Woods in California, and the Chiricahua Mountains in Arizona. That would enable mining and drilling to occur in these areas, permanently destroying the unique resources that have been conserved for decades or longer. It’s a big change, because in…
