The Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 to let Trump restrict mail-in voting, just two months before the midterms, and one week after Trump himself voted by mail. 1.3 million active-duty troops vote by mail. Apparently it’s “support the troops" until they try to cast a ballot. This must be stopped.

This matter comes before the Court on a Motion for Preliminary Injunction filed by
Plaintiff nonprofit organizations that provide legal representation to unaccompanied children in immigration courts across the country. Plaintiffs challenge the recent termination of funding for
counsel representing unaccompanied children by Defendants the United States Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"), HHS's Office of Refugee Resettlement ("ORR"), and the United States Department of the Interior ("DOI") (collectively, "Government" or "Defendants").
Having considered Plaintiffs' motion, Defendants' response, the arguments of the Parties at the April 23, 2025 hearing, and the relevant case law, the Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction for the following reasons.III.
CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction. The Court ORDERS as follows:
Defendants are ENJOINED from withdrawing the services or funds provided by the Office of Refugee Resettlement ("ORR") as of March 20, 2025, under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 ("TVPRA"), 8 U.S.C. § 1232(c)(5), and ORR's Foundational Rule, 45 C.F.R
.. § 410.1309(a)(4),
particularly ORR's provision of funds for direct legal representation services to unaccompanied children. This injunction precludes cutting off access to congressionally appropriated funding for its duration.
This injunction takes effect immediately, replacing the Court's April 1, 2025 temporary restraining order (ECF 33), and will remain in place until a final judgment on Plaintiffs' claims.
Defendants shall file a status report by no later than 2:00 p.m. PST, Friday, May 2, 2025, to report on compliance with the injunction. Additional status reports regarding compliance with the
injunction shall be filed no later than 2:00 p.m. PST, on May 9 and 23, 2025, and every 45 days thereafter. This Order shall apply to the maximum extent provided for by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d)(2) and 5 U.S.C. §§ 705 and 706. Non-compliance or delayed compliance may result in a contempt finding and sanctions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Re: Important Update Regarding Our OVW Grants
April 14, 2025
Dear Registrant,
We are writing to inform you that, effective immediately, all of our grants with the Office on Violence Against Women have been terminated. The Department of Justice has concluded that these grants "no longer effectuate the agency priorities."
As we consider our next steps, we must pause all work related to these grants.
Unfortunately, this means that we have to cancel our upcoming trainings.
We are incredibly grateful for your commitment to advancing safety, justice, and dignity for survivors and interest in further developing your skills in this field.
With deep appreciation and continued solidarity,
