Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon penned a letter to the chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, John Roberts, urging him to take action to help secure the federal court system. Wyden, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, mentioned two separate major breaches of the judiciary case management system. The first occurred in 2020 and the second appeared to happen more recently, though it involved the exploitation of vulnerabilities in the system discovered years ago. Wyden wrote that the court's current stance on cybersecurity is a severe threat to US national security. That's because its compromise could lead to the exposure of sensitive national security documents, confidential sources and more. Jenna McLaughlin, NPR News Scores of Federal.

Many of the some 2,000 people who were displaced from the island of Chagos have fought for years in British courts for the right to return home. And in May, Britain and Mauritius signed a treaty that hands sovereignty over the islands to Mauritius and allows their resettlement, but still ensures the future of the military base. In an audience with the refugees, Pope Leo praised their long battle for justice and called the decision an encouraging sign and a powerful symbol on the international stage. He said all peoples, even the smallest and weakest, must be respected by the powerful in their identity and rights, in particular, the right to live on their land, and no one can force them into exile.
