· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A federal judge in California has permanently blocked the Trump administration's sanctions against the AI company Anthropic, which had been labeled a 'supply chain risk.' Judge Rita Lin stated that while the Department of Defense can choose its AI providers, the sweeping measures against Anthropic were illegal and unfounded. The sanctions, imposed in February 2026, were seen as retaliation for the company's public criticisms of the Pentagon. The ruling nullifies the designation of Anthropic as a risk and allows federal agencies to use its technology, including the chatbot Claude.
