Solicitor General D. John Sauer requested that the US Supreme Court overturn an appeals court's reinstatement of the bribery convictions of former 21st Century Fox executive Hernan Lopez and Argentina-based Full Play Group. Hernan and the sports marketing company were convicted in a scheme to pay millions of dollars to secure broadcasting rights from FIFA and other major soccer organizations. Federal prosecutors argued to the high court that "dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice."

OpenAI's forthcoming AI models might present a "high" level of cyberrisk as their technical abilities progress, the company said. The models could be used to devise zero-day remote exploits or facilitate intricate attacks targeting enterprise and industrial systems, potentially resulting in serious real-world consequences, OpenAI warned.

US District Judge Paula Xinis ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement to immediately release Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a native of El Salvador who was deported in March even though a 2019 court order blocked his removal to his home country. Abrego Garcia was returned to the US in June and pleaded not guilty to human smuggling charges, after which ICE detained him again, and he is currently in custody at a facility in Pennsylvania.

The US Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit held that a New Jersey law allowing terminally ill people to request and obtain life-ending drugs does not apply to out-of-state residents. The lawsuit was filed by a New Jersey doctor and a Delaware woman who died in the time since oral arguments in the case took place. Ten other states and Washington, D.C., allow people with terminal illnesses to seek life-ending drugs.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said President Donald Trump directed the seizure of an oil tanker off Venezuela's coast in an operation led by the Coast Guard and conducted with the Justice Department and Defense Department. The move comes as the US has been conducting strikes on boats that the Trump administration alleges were drug-trafficking vessels. Venezuela's minister of foreign affairs, Yvan Gil Pinto, described the seizure as a "blatant theft" and "an act of international piracy." Trump said he was uncertain about what would happen to the oil carried by the tanker.

The Treasury Department is advancing an overhaul of anti-money-laundering regulations that would shift enforcement power more directly under its control. The proposal, currently in draft form, would allow the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to veto other regulators' findings on Bank Secrecy Act violations, potentially reducing penalties for banks' technical violations. Such a change could address banks' concerns that current AML rules are expensive and overly focused on technical compliance rather than substantive effectiveness.
