UNDATED (AP) — The judge handling the pending resentencing of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky is taking himself off the case. Judge John Foradora signed an order Wednesday announcing he has recused himself. He’s taking himself off because of something “separate, distinct and wholly unrelated to” the Sandusky case.

Unlike other suits that have targeted the asylum rule itself, the latest filing challenges the Trump administration on procedural grounds, saying the government has enacted changes without warning, resulting in elevated rejection rates for asylum-seekers.
