circuit court

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is pressing the DC Circuit to vacate a drone flight restriction that effectively criminalized recording immigration agents from the air. Civil liberties advocates argue the rule blocks lawful documentation of federal immigration enforcement operations. The case has drawn attention amid ongoing disputes over the public's right to film government agents carrying out arrests and deportations.

A circuit court has ruled that Ohio's Bureau of Motor Vehicles may require proof of citizenship when handling voter registration. The decision lets the state enforce stricter documentation rules at BMV locations, a move supporters frame as protecting election integrity and critics warn could discourage eligible voters from registering. The case is part of a broader national fight over proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting.

A federal appeals court for the Sixth Circuit has ruled that Ohio can move ahead with regulating Kalshi's sports event contracts, a decision with implications for the fast-growing market in prediction and event-based trading. The ruling signals that state gambling regulators may have authority over such contracts, a outcome being watched closely by both prediction market platforms and state regulators nationwide.
