Quick Glance: 5th Circuit: Biden White House and CDC Likely Violated First Amendment
- The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled on Friday that the Biden White House, top government health officials, and the FBI likely violated the First Amendment by influencing tech companies' decisions to remove or suppress posts on the coronavirus and elections.
- The court found that these agencies did not force social media companies to moderate their sites.
- The judges wrote that the White House likely coerced the platforms to make moderation decisions through intimidating messages and threats. They also found that the White House significantly encouraged the platforms' decisions by taking over their decision-making processes, which violates the First Amendment.
- A White House spokesperson stated that the Justice Department is reviewing the decision and considering options.

Quick Glance: Supreme Court upholds Trump-era immigration policy, Title 42
- The Supreme Court upheld a contentious immigration policy implemented by former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, allowing the United States to turn away asylum claimants at the border.
- Because of public health concerns, the policy allows US officials to promptly deport asylum claimants at the southern border.
- The administration of Vice President Joe Biden agreed.
- However, 19 Republican-led states, led by Arizona, contested the ruling and petitioned the Supreme Court to reinstate the program.
- "Title 42 is a public health measure, not an immigration enforcement measure, and it should not be extended indefinitely."
