The high court found that the two incidents were dissimilar. The 2017 incident involved individual drug possession with intent in Henderson's personal vehicle, while the 2019 incident involved allegedly joint possession in an apartment where four other people were staying.

Hemani is the first time since the Supreme Court's decision in Bruen upended Second Amendment jurisprudence that the court has addressed the constitutionality of laws that prosecute individuals for owning guns solely based upon a category that the gun owner falls into. In United States v. Rahimi, which the court decided in 2024, the defendant had been deemed dangerous by a family court judge, based on allegations made by his former girlfriend.

U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett dismissed a federal murder charge that had enabled prosecutors to seek capital punishment, finding that it was technically flawed. She wrote that she did so to "foreclose the death penalty as an available punishment to be considered by the jury" as it weighs whether to convict Mangione.

He and his lawyers contend that there has been "one-sided, biased media coverage" of the case in the Boston area, leading to the "widespread public misbelief" that Farwell groomed Birchmore, had sex with her when she was a minor, and ultimately killed her, according to court documents filed in November.

But on January 14, the administration of President Donald Trump carried out a search warrant targeting Natanson's home.

Manhattan Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who reserved decision, appeared unswayed by Trump's position, saying he'd sought two bites at the apple by first trying in state court to get his conviction tossed on account of the Supreme Court's July 2024 decision on presidential immunity and, when that didn't work, refocusing efforts in federal court.

The scheme Congress enacted governing immigration proceedings provides Khalil a meaningful forum in which to raise his claims later on-in a petition for review of a final order of removal,
