Court-Ordered Force-Feeding Could Last Until October — 1dA DC federal judge ordered Rahmanullah Lakanwal to be forcibly fed and medically treated after months of refusing food and water while facing federal charges for the November shooting of two National Guard members near the White House. The order authorizes feeding through a nasal tube, intravenous methods, or an existing tube to preserve his life until adequate oral intake and treatment are achieved, with charges including first-degree murder and related counts.

Trump seeks block BBC family subpoenas — Aug 22, 2026Trump asked a federal judge to reject the BBC’s bid to subpoena his immediate family in the $10 billion defamation case over the Panorama documentary, arguing the move is a politically charged, overbroad fishing expedition after attempts to serve Ivanka, Kushner, and Donald Trump Jr. The BBC seeks to serve subpoenas by certified mail as the case—now before Judge Jeffrey Kuntz who was recently assigned—continues toward a February trial date, with the BBC insisting the disclosures could illuminate the edited January 6 remarks at the center of the suit.

New York Court Vacates 75-Country Visa Freeze — Aug 22, 2026A federal judge, Judge Jeannette A. Vargas, ruled that the Trump administration’s January policy suspending immigrant visas to 75 countries exceeded the Secretary of State’s statutory authority and violated federal immigration law, vacating the directive.
