The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could not apply the drug-user gun ban to Ali Hemani based on his marijuana use alone. The decision is narrow: it limits categorical prosecutions but does not legalize marijuana or erase every federal firearms restriction tied to drug use.

The Supreme Court denied Alabama’s emergency request to use nitrogen hypoxia to execute Jeffery Lee, leaving a lower-court injunction in place. The order stopped the execution for now but left several legal questions unresolved.
