A ‘deadly’ move: The EPA repeals landmark climate finding
The Trump administration is repealing the EPA’s Endangerment Finding, the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions. “Of all of Trump's outrages - invading Greenland, putting tariffs on us, you know, election tampering - of all the outrages, I think this actually might be the most consequential because it leads to more deaths,” said Jay Inslee, the fmr. governor of Washington and longtime climate activist. “This is personally deadly for Americans...there is a legal obligation to rein in these pollutants when you find there's a danger to health.”

Inside Dilley: The Texas Town at the Center of Trump’s Family Detention Surge
Dilley, Texas calls itself “A slice of the good life,” but for hundreds of detained families, life there looks very different. Letters written by detained children and shared with ProPublica paint a harrowing picture of life inside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center. Ali breaks down the Trump administration's new strategy of quickly transferring migrants to Texas, where appeals are heard by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, a court widely seen as favorable to the administration’s immigration agenda.

Federal law limits how long minors can be held in ICE custody to 20 days. New reporting by ProPublica found hundreds of children detained for a month or more. Vox's @imillhiser.bsky.social notes, "Whatever the law says, it only matters if you have good courts that are able to enforce the law."
Seeking admission: How a federal appeals court in Texas decision supercharged ICE
The Trump-aligned Fifth Circuit Court in Texas just handed the Trump administration broad authority to lock up scores of detained immigrants, provided it can get them to Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi. As legal challenges to their detention soar, the Trump administration has begun transferring arrests from Minnesota and other places to Texas, where their challenges can be heard by courts that are friendlier to the White House. While federal law dictates that migrants detained inside the country may be released while their cases work their way through courts, Vox's Senior correspondent, Ian Millhiser, says, "Trump has started to apply the rules that apply to people at the border to every immigrant in the country."
