Justice Department challenges Mississippi’s House Bill 1020
SUMMARY: The Department of Justice has announced that it will join the NAACP's efforts to challenge House Bill 1020 and Senate Bill 2343 in Mississippi. The complaint alleges that these provisions discriminate on the basis of race by shifting authority over the county's criminal justice system away from democratically-elected Black judges and prosecutors. The NAACP lawsuit against House Bill 1020 claims it is racially discriminatory, while the lawsuit against Senate Bill 2343 says it violates the First Amendment's protections. A federal judge has already delayed the implementation of Senate Bill 2343, ruling in favor of the Jackson Undivided Coalition.

SUMMARY: A strong storm system caused significant damage in Columbus, Mississippi, with high winds bringing down power lines and trees, including on the MUW campus. Emergency crews received numerous calls for help, with some people trapped in their homes. Firefighters responded to multiple house fires, with one resulting in major loss. The storm has been classified as a straight-line wind event, not a tornado. Crews are working to clean up debris and restore power, and officials are urging people to avoid affected areas for safety reasons. The tornado sirens were not activated because there was no tornado warning in the area.
