A coalition of states has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to block a new policy requiring colleges and universities to collect and report race-based data. The legal challenge argues the mandate oversteps federal authority and creates significant compliance burdens for institutions navigating a post-affirmative action landscape.
A federal judge has issued a decisive ruling declaring the Trump administration's 'third country' deportation policy unlawful, halting a central pillar of the administration's immigration enforcement strategy. The decision creates immediate legal hurdles for federal agencies and introduces a new layer of complexity for HR leaders managing international talent and workforce compliance.
