UPS lost college student’s $2k laptop, months later, no compensation
SUMMARY: A viewer, Beth Gazetta, shipped a $1,994 MacBook via UPS to her son, but it went missing despite having tracking, insurance, and using the store’s “pack and ship guarantee.” After three months without resolution, she contacted consumer investigative reporter Susan El Cory. UPS launched an investigation and issued a reimbursement. Gazetta hopes UPS will better honor its guarantee. For high-value shipments, UPS drivers are required to maintain logs, but Gazetta has yet to receive that report. The incident emphasizes the importance of understanding a carrier’s policies when shipping valuable items.
A Tampa mom said UPS wouldn’t refund her thousands of dollars when the new laptop she shipped her son in college disappeared.

Judge limits a small part of a court order blocking Trump’s election overhaul as lawsuits continue
SUMMARY: A federal judge modified part of a preliminary injunction against President Trump’s election overhaul executive order. The adjustment restricts the block on assessing citizenship for voter registration forms to only 19 states that sued, not nationwide. However, this has limited practical impact since another judge blocked the mandate across all 50 states in a separate case. The change follows a Supreme Court ruling limiting nationwide injunctions. Other aspects of the initial injunction, including proof-of-citizenship and mail-in ballot rules, remain blocked. The Department of Justice continues to fight the lawsuits filed by Democratic state attorneys general and civil rights groups.
