The shooter who killed five and injured over a dozen more at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2022 is expected to accept a plea deal Tuesday and be sentenced in connection with federal hate crimes charges. Federal prosecutors are recommending a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, to be followed by a 190-year sentence of imprisonment, according to court documents filed on June 4. The sentencing recommendation details Aldrich's alleged past use of online platforms "to express anti-gay and anti-transgender views," use of anti-gay slurs and harassment of a gay co-worker in the years preceding the attack.

Federal judge pauses law giving law enforcement ability to arrest migrants in Iowa illegally
A federal judge in Iowa paused a state law giving local law enforcement the ability to arrest migrants in the state illegally, saying it is not the state's job, but rather the job of the federal government to enforce immigration laws. Signed into law in April, SF2340 authorizes local law enforcement officials to arrest migrants who have previously been deported or removed from the country, or who have been denied entry in the past. It is similar to a Texas law, which gives that state's law enforcement similar powers.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Biden administration's Title IX expansion from going into effect in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

In April, the finalized federal rules officially added "gender identity" to the list of protections from sex-based discrimination for the first time.

Judge grants request from families of Ethiopian Air Boeing 737 MAX crash victims to share confidential docs with DOJ
