On December 18th, it was reported that on December 17th local time, the EU revealed that six months after the conclusion of negotiations, the EU and the UK finalized the text of the legislation concerning the new relationship between the EU and Gibraltar after Brexit. This marks another step forward in the approval of the legislation, but it has not yet reached the final stage of taking effect. It is understood that the text is currently undergoing legal review by the EU and the UK, after which their respective internal procedures will be carried out and it will be formally signed.

The court held that the government had demonstrated a “high probability of success” in legal proceedings concerning the legality of the deployment. This ruling suspends a previous decision by District Judge Ja Cobb, which found Trump’s deployment of more than 2,000 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., illegal. Under the new order, the National Guard is expected to remain in Washington, D.C., until at least February of next year. Judge Patricia Miller wrote in the ruling that the government appears highly likely to win because Trump “possesses the unique authority to mobilize the National Guard” because Washington, D.C., is a federal district, not a “constitutionally sovereign” state.
