• US Supreme Court rules 8-1 against Colorado conversion therapy ban — The US Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in Chiles v. Salazar that Colorado's 2019 law prohibiting licensed clinicians from seeking to change the gender identity or sexual orientation of youth patients under 18 violates free speech rights. The court found the ban "presumptively unconstitutional" as viewpoint discrimination and remanded the case to an appeals court for strict scrutiny review. Colorado's law remains in effect pending appeal, but the ruling threatens similar bans in 22 other states and raises concerns about states' ability to regulate medical professionals' speech and protect vulnerable youth from harmful practices.

• Medical examiner rules death of Rohingya refugee abandoned by border patrol a homicide — The Erie County medical examiner's office ruled on March 31, 2026, that the death of Nurul Amin Shah, a 56-year-old visually impaired Rohingya refugee, constituted a homicide. Shah died on February 24, five days after US border patrol agents dropped him in a Tim Hortons parking lot in Buffalo on a cold winter night without notifying his family or attorney. The cause of death was complications of a perforated duodenal ulcer precipitated by hypothermia and dehydration. New York's attorney general opened a formal investigation in March, and the Erie County district attorney's office is reviewing the autopsy report and evidence.
• Medical examiner ruled Rohingya refugee death a homicide — The county medical examiner in Buffalo, New York, declared the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a visually impaired Rohingya refugee from Myanmar, a homicide. Border Patrol agents had dropped Shah Alam off in the parking lot of a closed coffee shop on a frigid February night, offering what they called a "courtesy ride" rather than releasing him to his family or lawyer. He was found dead five days later. A DHS spokesperson dismissed the ruling as "another hoax being peddled by the media and sanctuary politicians."
