A federal judge in Michigan, appointed by Trump, has blocked the Trump-era Justice Department’s attempt to access the state’s voter rolls, ruling that Michigan was within its rights to refuse sharing personal voter information. Judge Hala Jarbou dismissed the DOJ’s claims that such data was necessary to prevent ineligible voting and voter fraud, aligning with similar rulings in Oregon and California that rejected efforts to create a national voter database. These decisions reflect increasing judicial resistance to the DOJ’s efforts to gather detailed voter data ahead of the upcoming midterms, signaling legal hurdles for the administration’s broader push to compile comprehensive voter information.

A Wisconsin judge, Hannah Dugan, was convicted of obstructing federal agents during the arrest of an undocumented immigrant—marking a rare win for Trump’s Justice Department against officials challenging his immigration policies. Dugan, elected in 2016, was found guilty of obstructing an official proceeding but acquitted of hiding a person from arrest; she faces up to five years. Her case ignited controversy—critics called it political retribution, while supporters argued it was a “deep state” attack. Dugan’s conviction ends her judicial career, spotlighting tensions over law enforcement and public officials. Will this set a precedent?

While some policymakers vow to fight the order, others call for a national #AIframework from #Congress. https://www.axios.com/2025/12/12/trump-states-defiant-ai-executive-order?eicker.news #tech #media #news
