Ex-Columbia Student Wins Ruling Blocking Deportation, for Now
Politics A federal judge said the US can't immediately deport Mahmoud Khalil, blocking the Trump administration's attempts to get another court to give it permission to ship the former Columbia University graduate student out of the country. The ruling Thursday by US District Judge Michael Farbiarz said the immigration court didn't have the authority to deport Khalil while a June 11 order by Farbiarz blocking such a move was still in place. The ruling, however, directs the immigration court to take another look at the issue under new guidance from Farbiarz.

Hong Kong will benefit from recognising the rights of same-sex couples
The landmark ruling by Hong Kong's top court requiring the government to recognise same-sex relationships was a defining moment for the city. Grounded in law, but also basic human decency, the court gave officials two years to put in place a framework protecting the core rights of such couples, who are not permitted to marry in the city. The government unveiled its proposals last week, just four months ahead of the deadline and no one is happy with them. Members of the LGBTQ community are disappointed because they do not go far enough. Lawmakers are also angry. They hit out at the government for leaving insufficient time for the legislative process and failing to launch a public consultation. Some claimed the proposals would undermine Hong Kong's traditional family values. There is a need for calm and clarity. Some legislators appear to want to roll back the ruling because they disagree with it. But the judgment must be implemented. That should be non-negotiable. Otherwise, there will be a continuing breach of the law. Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Erick Tsang Kwok-wai was spot on when he said: 'A decision of the Court of Final Appeal, whether you like it or not or agree with it or not, is part of our judicial system,' adding that it must be respected. The legislators are on firmer ground when they complain about the late submission of the proposals and lack of public consultation.

Appeals Court Lets Trump Remove Another Democrat From Independent Agency
A federal appeals court cleared the way on Thursday for President Trump to remove a Democratic member of the Federal Labor Relations Authority, sidelining her while the White House fights a ruling by a lower court that had reinstated her to the position. The ruling, affecting Susan Tsui Grundmann, echoed those of several other cases in which courts have supported the president in clearing out individuals appointed by former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. from institutions that conduct oversight of the government and represent the interests of federal workers. In a brief order, the three-judge panel concluded that the Supreme Court's ruling in May, which involved people serving in similar positions on the National Labor Relations Board and the Merit Systems Protection Board, offered a clear precedent. In those cases, the Supreme Court determined that even though the people Mr. Trump sought to purge were part of a multimember board that was designed by Congress to be nonpartisan and insulated from political pressure, they nonetheless exercise considerable authority. Preventing a president from removing those individuals, even without cause, improperly constrained the president's power to accomplish his agenda, the Supreme Court decided. 'The Supreme Court's reasoning fully applies to the F.L.R.A., which possesses powers substantially similar to those of the N.L.R.B.,' the appeals court panel wrote, comparing the Federal Labor Relations Authority to the National Labor Relations Board. All three of the judges were appointed by Mr. Trump. Ms. Grundmann was confirmed by the Senate in 2022 for a five-year term that would have expired before Mr. Trump was set to leave office. Among the agency's primary duties are helping to resolve labor complaints and addressing issues arising from collective bargaining among federal workers. After receiving notice from the White House that she was being removed from the position in February, Ms. Grundmann filed a lawsuit arguing that she could not be removed from the role without clear cause, citing protections enshrined by Congress. A federal judge in Washington agreed, declaring in June that the firing had been done illegally and ordering that she be reinstated.

Sosma accused in Geng TR case granted bail on medical grounds in rare Federal Court ruling
PUTRAJAYA, July 3 — The Federal Court today granted bail of RM50,000 each for two businessmen charged with being members of an organised crime group, pending the outcome of their trial. The court also imposed conditions for the two men to wear electronic monitoring devices and remain within the compound of their respective homes. The decision was made in a 2-1 majority by a three-member panel led by Federal Court judge Tan Sri Nallini Pathmanathan. She said the majority were of the view that S. Hemanathan, 31, and N. Nithiyan, 39, had made out their case primarily due to their health conditions, coupled with the inability of the prison system to attend to or care for prisoners who need special medical attention. 'They are prohibited from travelling outside of their residential home without reasonable consent of the police and must report to the nearest police station once every two weeks. Also, they may travel to hospitals for treatment of their medical conditions with the permission of the police, which should not be unreasonably withheld,' she said. Justice Datuk Hanipah Farikullah supported the majority ruling, while Justice Abu Bakar Jais dissented. Earlier, defence counsel Datuk Rajpal Singh had urged the court to allow bail on medical grounds. He said Nithiyan suffers from ischemic heart disease, hypertension and dyslipidemia, which could lead to life-threatening cardiovascular failure without consistent treatment, while Hemanathan, who uses a wheelchair, suffers from diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and high cholesterol, and has not received consistent treatment in prison. Deputy Public Prosecutor Ng Siew Wee argued that both men had received necessary treatment and their conditions were under control. Hemanathan and Nithiyan were charged in the Sessions Court in May last year for being members of an organised crime 'Geng TR' in Sunggai Janggut Seafood Restaurant in Jalan Bagan Sungai Janggut, Jeram, Selangor between November 2019 and May 2024. They were charged under Section 130V of the Penal Code, read together with the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma). Their case was transferred to the High Court in Aug last year, and the trial is fixed to begin in October next year. — Bernama
