- Justice Kavanaugh adds Fourth Amendment guardrails to immigration stops in concurrence — In a concurring footnote to the National Guard decision, Justice Brett Kavanaugh addressed the September Supreme Court ruling permitting immigration officers to stop individuals based on apparent race, ethnicity, language, or location. Kavanaugh wrote that the Fourth Amendment requires immigration stops be based on reasonable suspicion, remain brief, arrests require probable cause, and officers must not use excessive force or make stops based on race or ethnicity.

- Gov. Ron DeSantis designated CAIR as foreign terrorist organization; CAIR filed lawsuit — Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order designating CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), a Muslim civil rights nonprofit organization with over 20 chapters nationwide, as a "foreign terrorist organization." The order directed Florida's state and local agencies to deny contracts, employment, funding, benefits, and privileges to CAIR. CAIR filed a lawsuit arguing the executive order violated the Constitution's guarantee of due process and was discriminatory. CAIR's attorney Omar Saleh stated: "It's clearly retaliatory. After over 25 years of being in FL, all of a sudden, we're illegal?" CAIR noted that its advocacy for Palestinian human rights and criticism of Israel's government stand in direct opposition to the governor's viewpoints.
