[1] Why Should Lawyers Care About the Impact of Laws on Housing Opportunities for Domestic Violence Survivors? Housing instability has large-scale consequences that impact virtually every aspect of the social, economic, and political well-being of communities. Domestic violence survivors are not a protected class under the Fair Housing Act (FHA).

[1] Medicaid is the primary public payer for long-term care in the United States, covering services that are otherwise financially inaccessible for many elderly and disabled individuals.

[1] Behind every Winter Olympian stands not only years of training, but also hundreds of millions of dollars in dedicated infrastructure investment. Unlike many summer sports, winter disciplines depend on geographically fixed and capital-intensive facilities: sliding tracks carved into mountainsides, refrigerated 400-meter ice ovals, ski jumping complexes engineered for aerodynamic precision, and Nordic trail systems spanning hundreds of acres. [2] These facilities are not in

[1] In February 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) purchased a 64-acre warehouse property in Berks County, Pennsylvania and a 172-acre warehouse property in Tremont Township, Pennsylvania to use as immigration detention facilities. [2] This combined $207 million purchase was funded by the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which gave ICE additional funding for their expanded immigration enforcement initiatives. [3] The proposed use of these two facilities includes tr
