The Supreme Court issued a ruling that significantly weakened the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in a case involving Louisiana redistricting.

On March 27 2024 Angel Boligan published a cartoon responding to Texas Senate Bill 4. The image shows the Statue of Liberty being hauled over a tall brick wall lined with barbed wire. Armed officers labeled POLICE stand below near a patrol car. A red streak marks the wall top. The piece addresses the new state law authorizing local police to arrest migrants. SB4 had recently taken effect before facing court challenges. The visual places the national symbol in direct conflict with enforcement actions at the southern border.
