U.S. Supreme Court

The court blocked California’s policy barring school districts from requiring teachers to “out” transgender students to their parents, unless the students gave permission.

Lawsuits and Trump administration policy changes are targeting trans athletes, bans on outing by school staff and health care. Some California policies are in jeopardy.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has sued the Trump administration more than 50 times. One recent victory ended a National Guard deployment in Los Angeles.

The new ruling against the Trump administration’s use of the National Guard in Los Angeles comes as courts are considering other challenges to his deployment of troops to liberal cities, such as Portland and Chicago.

The U.S. Supreme Court decided it will address whether a key section of the Voting Rights Act is discriminatory and therefore illegal.

A federal judge sided with UCLA in ordering the Trump administration to restore hundreds of health and science research grants. Even more funding is at stake going forward for UC campuses.

The controversial tactics agents use to round up undocumented immigrants in Southern California are merely an expansion of the discriminatory stops and interrogations San Diego's border communities have experienced for generations.

A U.S. Supreme Court case from the late 1800's and a federal drug agent's fatal shot in 1972 will likely curtail enforcement of a proposed mask ban for federal officers.

Efforts to ban masks on protesters and to unmask law enforcement officers often balance competing societal priorities.

The U.S. Supreme Court lifted limits on immigration sweeps in Southern California, overturning a lower court ruling that prohibited agents from stopping people based on their appearance.
