## DoD must review wind projects
A federal court in Oregon granted a preliminary injunction requested by renewable energy groups and orders the federal government to continue reviewing utility-scare wind energy construction projects. The Department of Defense had stopped assessing wind projects for impact on military radar and flight patterns in an alleged effort to halt renewable energy development. The government of provide status reports every 30 days to ensure compliance with the order.
## Fleeing from the Taliban
The Fifth Circuit found the Board of immigration Appeals improperly dismissed an Afghani citizen’s appeal. The former government security worker fled Afghanistan when the Taliban seized control of the country. The immigration judge denied his request for asylum due to supposed discrepancies between the government positions the applicant said he held and the dates he says he held those positions. The appellate court found no material inconsistency in his employment history, and corroborative evidence includes photos of him with Afghan officials, ID cards and an arrest warrant issued against him by the Taliban government.
