5th Circuit Court removes Judge Jack from Texas foster care lawsuit, lifting daily fine.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has removed U.S. District Judge Janis Jack from a long-running Texas foster care lawsuit, citing concerns over her fairness due to her "highly antagonistic demeanor." This decision potentially concludes a 13-year legal battle, as the court also overturned a $100,000 daily fine imposed on the state for non-compliance. Lawyers for the plaintiffs are now considering their next steps following the ruling, which is seen as a significant win for Texas.
