Trump Legal, Ethics, Media and Institutional Battles Intensify

A permanent injunction agreed to by the parties bars federal officials from pressuring Apple or Facebook to suppress two named ICE-monitoring platforms; it does not compel restoration, and the government admitted no wrongdoing. The Supreme Court agreed to review Trump administration asylum restrictions, which remain in effect pending a decision expected by June 2027; the DOJ APA appeal and other institutional disputes remain unresolved. DOJ’s translation memo remains guidance, Rubio’s Nov. 13 attacks on the ICC announced no new policy, and claims about Trump’s planned pardons come from an opinion piece rather than a report of enacted action.
