Quick Glance: Supreme Court Rejects Appeal by Former New Mexico County Commissioner
- The Supreme Court rejected an appeal from a former New Mexico county commissioner who was removed from office due to his participation in the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
- Former commissioner Couy Griffin, known for his support of Donald Trump, received the first disqualification under the 14th Amendment, sparking potential repercussions for other officials involved in the Capitol attack.
- The ruling in Griffin's case could set precedents for holding state and local elected officials accountable for their roles in the January 6 insurrection.
- Griffin's appeal contested the state court's authority to enforce the anti-insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment and urged the Supreme Court to clarify the definition of 'insurrection' in relation to the events of January 6.

- The federal government and Mexico have raised concerns about the contentious law and announced measures to impede its enforcement.

‘Uncharted’: Texas argues in support of sweeping immigration law amid scrutiny in court
abcnews.go.com/Politics/uncharted-texas-officials-argue-support-sweeping-immigration-law/story
Quick Glance: Legal Battle Over Texas Immigration Law Intensifies Again
- A federal appeals court issued a ruling late on Tuesday that once more halts Texas from apprehending migrants suspected of unlawfully entering the United States, shortly after the Supreme Court implemented the stringent new immigration law.
- Earlier in the day, a split decision by the Supreme Court granted Texas permission to enforce a statute granting law enforcement extensive authority to detain migrants believed to have illegally crossed the border while the legal conflict regarding the provision unfolds.
- Opponents view the legislation as the most extreme effort by a state to regulate immigration since the passage of an Arizona law over a decade ago, parts of which were invalidated by the Supreme Court.
- The dispute over the immigration statute in Texas is among several legal clashes between Texan officials and the Biden administration concerning the extent to which the state can monitor the Texas-Mexico border and deter unauthorized border crossings.
