One week after the elections, a federal judge blocked President Trump’s executive order to withhold funding to sanctuary cities. The ruling is an important precedent for understanding when and how courts will intervene in immigration law enforcement by local governments.
The “patriots history” is a professional American football team that plays in the National Football League. The Patriots have won six Super Bowls, and are one of only two NFL teams to win three or more championships in four consecutive decades.

Quinn Nordin, the New England Patriots’ rookie kicker, seems to be a fan favorite. The Patriots re-added him to the practice squad on Friday, December 1, only two days after cutting him.
During training camp and the preseason, the Michigan graduate with the tremendous leg was given every chance to outkick veteran Nick Folk. Folk returned as the team’s placekicker after some inconsistencies overshadowed the strength of his leg.

However, Bill Belichick’s determination on keeping Nordin in his sights–even after he passed waivers–indicates that he believes the youngster has a potential to make an impact on the squad.
Nordin is unlikely to play in the Patriots’ vital Monday night game against the Buffalo Bills, but his future chances with the team are intriguing.

Is Nordin a reincarnation of Justin Rohrwasser?
The Patriots squandered a fifth-round selection on Marshall kicker Justin Rohrwasser in 2020. Rohrwasser was forced to sit out of training camp due to injuries and inconsistency. He was also picked ahead of the COVID-19 restricted 2020 season, which didn’t help matters.
He never found his footing and hence was never given the opportunity to play in an NFL game. Nordin has yet to try a kick in the regular season, although he did get a few preseason opportunities.
Nordin was also an undrafted free agent, which eliminates the possibility of his becoming a flop. There are a few key distinctions between him and Rohrwasser. It seems like Nordin has a stronger relationship with the Patriots’ coaching staff.
Folk is also a year older and on the verge of losing his spot as the team’s starting kicker. Bill Belichick will not accept inconsistency from his kicker, but if Folk’s age and asking price become a concern for the Patriots, I believe Nordin will be given significant consideration over the summer.
What Does the Patriots’ Future Hold?
The Patriots are about to play their most important game of the season.
New England would take a 1.5-game lead over the Bills if they beat them on Monday night, and they would reclaim their psychological edge over the Bills.
It would also be significant for the Patriots to enter the bye week with a seven-game winning streak. Following the bye, the Patriots would face the Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, and the rematch with Buffalo in winnable games.
Here’s a look at the Patriots’ remaining schedule and all of their results from the 2021 season.
