"In sum, I agree with the Attorney General that the fentanyl chain of distribution must be attacked at every link, at every level, and that the guilty must be brought to justice," U.S. District Judge William Alsup for the Northern District of California wrote. "Refusing to seek prison time for 'Fast Track' fentanyl dealers is an egregious error. Migrants deserve our sympathy in other contexts, but when they sell fentanyl they deserve to go to prison like everyone else."

"The West Point School Board violated that constitutional command when it tried to force Vlaming to endorse the school's ideological viewpoints on gender identity," the plaintiff's counsel, Chris Schandevel, said in a statement Thursday.

"It is immaterial that Muldrow identified as straight. A juror could reasonably hear the evidence at trial and assume that Muldrow was homosexual or identified with a sexual orientation other than heterosexual.
