Firstly, a federal judge ruled that President Trump's executive order to punish individuals working with the International Criminal Court (ICC) likely violates the First Amendment. The judge shielded two human rights activists from penalties for violating the directive. Secondly, another federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore funding for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, a federally funded news organization, calling the administration's actions 'nonsensical' and 'unprecedented'. The rulings are seen as setbacks for the Trump administration, which has been targeting organizations it perceives as biased against it.
