Ex-Trump adviser Peter Navarro to go to prison after Supreme Court rejects his appeal
npr.org/2024/03/18/1239306862/supreme-court-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.

Quick Glance: EPA Bans Asbestos Despite Decades-Long Partial Ban
- The EPA has announced a comprehensive ban on asbestos, a carcinogen that is still used in some products such as chlorine bleach, brake pads, and other products, killing tens of thousands of Americans annually.
- The final rule signifies a significant expansion of EPA regulation under a landmark 2016 law that revamped regulations for tens of thousands of toxic chemicals in everyday products.
- The new rule would prohibit the use of chrysotile asbestos, the only ongoing use of asbestos in the U.S., found in products like brake linings and gaskets, used to manufacture chlorine bleach and sodium hydroxide.
- The EPA rule will ban imports of asbestos for chlor-alkali use immediately upon publication, but a ban on most other uses would come into effect in two years.

- A five-year study by the National Institutes of Health revealed no brain injuries among U.S. diplomats and government employees suffering from mysterious health problems previously known as 'Havana syndrome.'

- The results indicate that there is no evidence that a foreign power or external phenomenon has caused persistent or detectable pathophysiologic changes that could explain the symptoms of Havana syndrome.

- Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has surprisingly suggested a one-month delay in the trial of Donald Trump scheduled for March 25, marking an unexpected turn in what is anticipated to be the first criminal trial of a former president.
- In a court notice on Thursday, Bragg’s office disclosed they had just received “approximately 31,000” additional pages of records from federal prosecutors in New York, who previously investigated the 2016 hush money payments forming the basis of the district attorney’s charges against Trump.
- Following Trump’s departure from a federal court hearing in Fort Pierce, Fla., where his attorneys evidently faced challenges convincing a judge to dismiss a separate set of criminal charges alleging mishandling of classified papers and hindering government efforts to recover them, the latest legal twist in the case unfolded.

- In a separate criminal case against Trump in New York, a judge agreed to delay the trial related to hush-money payments during Trump's 2016 campaign until at least mid-April.
