Supreme Court refuses to delay prison time for Trump aide Peter Navarro
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: Highly Controversial Texas Immigration Law Delayed Again
  • A law in Texas that allows local and state police officers to arrest individuals suspected of being in the country illegally has been postponed by the United States Supreme Court “until further notice from the court.”

  • Senate Bill 4 was approved towards the end of 2023 as part of a prioritized set of immigration and border security legislations supported by Governor Greg Abbott and other conservative leaders. Notably, the legislation empowers local judges to mandate a migrant's return to Mexico irrespective of their nationality.

  • The lawsuit against SB 4 was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas and the Texas Civil Rights Project on behalf of various organizations like the Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, American Gateways, and El Paso County. It specifically targets Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw and El Paso County District Attorney Bill Hicks.

  • Adriana Piñon, the director of ACLU of Texas, conveyed to The Texas Newsroom that although the fate of the law remains uncertain, the recent decision by the Supreme Court should provide temporary relief for colored Texans.
