SUMMARY: A federal judge in Kentucky, Chief District Judge Danny Reeves, issued a preliminary injunction preventing the Biden Administration from enforcing a regulation that grants collective bargaining rights to migrant farm workers in Kentucky, Alabama, Ohio, and West Virginia. This ruling follows a similar judgment from Georgia affecting 17 states. Farmers argued that the new rule contradicts the National Labor Relations Act, as it attempts to create rights for H-2A visa holders without Congressional approval. Reeves criticized parts of the regulation as “arbitrary and capricious.” The injunction does not apply nationwide, leaving the rule intact in other states.

They set up a rope system for the victims’ retrieval; one was airlifted in critical condition, while the other sustained injuries. Both are now recovering.

SUMMARY: Former Lee County Sheriff Mickey Stein faced a packed courtroom for his arraignment on a new murder charge related to the shooting of District Judge Kevin Mullins. Stein pleaded not guilty and is being held without bond, as he is charged with a capital crime under Kentucky law. Retired Judge Julia Adams presided over the arraignment, following Marcy’s Law guidelines. While Stein’s defense plans to request a bond hearing, securing bond for such charges is deemed unlikely. A new judge will be assigned for future proceedings. The prosecutor did not disclose motives, but both sides aim for the trial to occur in Lee County.

The former Letcher County sheriff accused of killing a district judge in his chambers in September appeared in front of a packed courtroom on Monday, the same building in which the alleged murder took place.
