The U.S. Department of Justice filed a motion in federal district court stating it does not oppose converting a prior court ruling into a permanent injunction blocking President Donald Trump's removal of three members of the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico ^[1]. The filing, reported by the San Juan Daily Star, seeks to solidify a previous judicial decision that has already halted the administration's attempt to dismiss the board members ^[1]. The move suggests the federal government intends to maintain the board's authority over Puerto Rico's finances, a stance that directly impacts the island's ongoing economic management ^[1].
