A group of farmworkers tend sheep for ranchers in remote parts of Idaho. Labor advocates say their work is ripe for exploitation & mistreatment. Public records show some ID ranchers have had a history of complaints but were allowed to get more workers. https://t.co/7VhgRzrdYX

I've updated this story on today's #SCOTUS decision. In ruling on Idaho's ban on transgender minor health care, the justices also spent 34 pages debating the prevalence of universal injunctions and their use of the "shadow" docket. https://t.co/g88NLAAjyY

The majority conservatives on the high court reversed a lower court’s stay on Idaho’s ban on certain health care for transgender children.
