Supreme Court Rules Against Rastafarian Who Sued Prison Officials For Cutting His Dreadlocks

The Supreme Court has ruled that a devout Rastafarian, Damon Landor, cannot proceed with his lawsuit against prison officials who cut his dreadlocks. This 6-3 decision, authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch, is expected to make it more challenging for individuals of other faiths to enforce federal religious protections within the prison system, drawing criticism from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for weakening these safeguards.
