 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Mohammed remains detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alongside other defendants awaiting trial. Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a June 2028 trial for Mohammed and three other defendants earlier this week. In an order issued Friday that has not been made public, Schrama barred prosecutors from using statements Mohammed made during four days of FBI questioning at Guantanamo in January 2007.

 US judge to halt Trump order aimed at removing 'gender ideology' from state sex education

A federal judge in Oregon on Monday said she will block the Trump administration from requiring a group of Democratic-led states, including Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota, to remove references to “gender ideology” from sexual health education curricula to receive federal grant funding.

U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken said she intends to issue an injunction after lawyers for the 16 states and the District of Columbia argued that the Department of Health and Human Services’ directive effectively sought to “edit transgender kids out of their curricula.” The states said the policy violated congressional rules governing the grants and overstepped federal authority, potentially costing them $35 million in funding if they did not comply. The administration maintained the policy was lawful and consistent with congressional goals promoting abstinence and sexual risk avoidance. Judge Aiken described the directive as inconsistent with relevant statutes and likened it to a “separate-but-equal” approach to sex education, saying she would issue a written injunction soon.

The dispute stems from an executive order signed by President Trump on January 20, which directed federal agencies to recognize only two sexes—male and female—and ensure grant funds did not promote what he called “gender ideology.” In August, HHS sent letters to 46 states and territories demanding the removal of all references to “gender ideology” from federally funded curricula under the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) and the Title V Sexual Risk Avoidance Education program. These programs focus on teaching abstinence and contraception, particularly to youth in foster care, homeless populations, and areas with high teen birth rates. HHS also terminated California’s PREP grant after the state refused to comply with the directive.
