A federal judge has ruled that the suspension of a planned Protestant march violated legal standards, delivering a late-night decision that could reshape the event set to take place the following day. The ruling comes after intense legal battles in the hours leading up to the parade, raising questions about the justification for the initial order.

The case highlights ongoing tensions over free speech and public safety ahead of a highly anticipated gathering.
