Ex-Trump adviser Peter Navarro to go to prison after Supreme Court rejects ...
Quick Glance: Justice Roberts denies Navarro's final attempt to avoid prison
  • Former White House advisor Peter Navarro must report to prison on Tuesday after U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts rejected his final attempt to stay free while appealing his contempt of Congress conviction.

  • Navarro has been ordered to report to a Miami prison on Tuesday afternoon to begin his sentence, making him the first key advisor to former President Trump to serve jail time over efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

  • Although Navarro may be the first Trump White House official to serve time for evading Congress, he wasn't the first to be found guilty of the charge. Former White House advisor Steve Bannon faced two counts of contempt of Congress last year, resulting in a four-month prison sentence. However, a different judge allowed Bannon to remain free while he appeals his case.

  • Bannon defended his case before a federal appeals court in November and has not yet started serving his sentence.

Quick Glance: Fl. Law 'Stop Woke Act' Blocked by Court Decision
  • A federal appeals court decision on Monday prevented the enforcement of a law in Florida, supported by Governor Ron DeSantis, that limits how private companies can teach diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

  • According to a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, the 'Stop Woke Act' exceeds the boundaries of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in its efforts to regulate workplace trainings related to race, color, gender, and national origin.

  • Julia Friedland, a spokeswoman for DeSantis, stated in a release on Tuesday that the governor's office is 'considering all options for future appeals.'

  • The 'Stop Woke Act' was passed in March 2022 by the Republican-controlled Florida legislature and was a key priority for DeSantis, who labeled it as the 'Individual Freedom Measure.'

  • A federal judge in Texas rejected a challenge by Republican-led states to a Biden program allowing migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela emergency entry into the U.S.

  • Tipton noted a significant decrease in illegal entries from the countries since the program's inception, without addressing the lawsuit's core claim of DHS authority.
