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.

- 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.

Quick Glance: Coinbase to Face US Securities Regulator's Lawsuit, Judge Rules
- A federal judge in Manhattan stated that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's lawsuit against Coinbase can proceed, but dismissed one claim made by the regulator against the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange.
- The decision is a partial victory for Coinbase and largely supports the SEC's approach to cryptocurrencies, aligning with other judges who have sided with the regulatory agency.
- The SEC sued Coinbase in June, alleging that the firm facilitated trading of at least 13 crypto tokens that should have been registered as securities and was operating illegally as a national securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency without registering with the regulator.
- Judge Failla allowed most of the lawsuit to continue but rejected the SEC's claim that Coinbase acted as an unregistered broker through its wallet application.

Quick Glance: Japanese High Court Rules Denial of Same-Sex Marriage Unconstitutional
- A Japanese high court ruled that denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and urged immediate government action to address the lack of laws allowing for such unions.
- The court lacks the power to overturn the current marriage law, which limits marriage to a man and a woman. Government offices can continue to deny marriage status to same-sex couples unless the law is revised to include LGBTQ+ couples or a new law is enacted.
- The Sapporo High Court ruling emphasized that not permitting same-sex couples to marry and enjoy equal benefits as heterosexual couples violates their fundamental right to have a family.
- Japan is the only G7 nation that still excludes same-sex couples from legal marriage rights and spousal benefits.

Quick Glance: Court denies Peter Navarro’s request for prison stay
- A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that former Trump adviser Peter Navarro cannot remain out of prison during his appeal against his conviction for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena related to the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.
- The District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals essentially upheld the judge's decision that Navarro's appeal does not pose a 'significant legal question' justifying his release.
- Following his conviction last year on two contempt of Congress charges, 74-year-old Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison and is set to report to a Miami prison on Tuesday. This would mark him as the first prominent Trump adviser to serve jail time for endeavors to challenge the 2020 election.
- Navarro stated to reporters after his conviction that he anticipates his case to reach the Supreme Court to address concerns about executive privilege for high-ranking White House officials.
