A federal judge has finalized a ruling barring enforcement of a controversial statute that gave the government power to indefinitely detain anyone it considered a terrorism suspect anywhere in the world without charge or trial. Judge Katherine Forrest issued a preliminary injunction against the provision in the National Defense Authorization Act last month. But the Obama administration had asked the judge to reconsider her ruling and also said it would narrowly interpret the injunction to apply only to the plaintiffs in the lawsuit — a group of journalists, scholars and political activists, including Chris Hedges and Noam Chomsky. But on Wednesday, Judge Forrest said her injunction applies broadly, not just to the plaintiffs, “until further action by this [court], a higher court, or by Congress.”
