It's a potentially landmark ruling that'll be overshadowed by everything else in the news, but Judge Miranda Du has ruled that congressional passage of the statute with explicitly racist intent was no bueno in regards to the 5th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. While it's a Freedom Ruling, there's obviously no chance that it'll be upheld at the end of the day:

To be fair, I think it was the plaintiff who used Latinx in filing their suit & the judge merely just chose to operate with the term that the case had just so happened to provide her with. In any event, BRTD in shambles, as said use of Latinx is now precedential - at least, for the time being, 'til this decision is overturned by the CA9 &/or SCOTUS - in the Federal District Court of Nevada.
