With Labor Day now behind us, likely many of us have enjoyed some summer fun with our families. Whether a lazy summer day on one of our Jersey Shore beaches, or a day riding the coasters at one of our Pennsylvania amusement parks, summer affords us this time to shut it down and soak up the sun.

Same goes for the ticket takers at the theme parks. And who hasn't used their mobile phone or laptop to order those staples for the shore house that you just don't want to leave the beach to go shop for.

Allen, 864 F.3d 63 (2d Cir. 2017), which held that the Fifth Amendment's prohibition on the use of compelled testimony in criminal proceedings applies even when that testimony was compelled by a foreign official in a foreign investigation. Allen's ramifications are far-reaching and may put pressure on other circuits, including the Ninth, to embrace the holding or disavow it.

Evidence that members of a group conducted election-related violence and showed "tacit support for radical Islam" are not enough to establish that the group is a low-level terrorist organization whose members must be deported, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has ruled.
