Iowa immigration law blocked in Biden administration lawsuit

A federal judge has temporarily blocked an Iowa state law that allows for the arrest and prosecution of people who are in the U.S. illegally, in a win for the Biden administration. Read more.

U.S. District Judge Stephen Locher said in a written decision that the law, which was set to take effect in the Republican-led state on July 1, would interfere with the federal government’s enforcement of U.S. immigration laws. “As a matter of politics, the new legislation might be defensible. As a matter of constitutional law, it is not,” the Iowa federal judge wrote in his decision.

A U.S. appeals court in March blocked a similar Texas law that also allows state officials to arrest, prosecute and order the removal of suspected migrants, while it considers the state’s appeal of a judge’s ruling that said it was invalid.

NLRB issues first order requiring bargaining despite union election loss

The National Labor Relations Board ordered a Las Vegas casino operator to recognize and bargain with a union, in the first ruling of its kind by the agency since it created a path for unions to organize workers even after losing elections.

The board said NP Red Rock had engaged in “egregious and pervasive unlawful conduct” that tainted a 2019 election and warranted a bargaining order even though workers voted 627-534 against joining a union. Read more about the decision.

Justice Clarence Thomas casts cloud over lawsuits challenging diversity programs

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has adopted a legal theory that would eliminate a spate of recent lawsuits filed by groups that share his opposition to race-based diversity programs. Alison Frankel explains why Thomas’s newly-espoused skepticism about “associational standing” is likely, at the very least, to spark debate as lower courts consider lawsuits by anti-affirmative action groups.
