Mississippi
Entries whose effect landed somewhere in Mississippi (MS) — a city, a county, a campus, a detention facility — whichever government acted. Federal conduct inside Mississippi counts here.
This is not the same set as Mississippi's jurisdiction page, which records the 19 entries where Mississippi's own government was the acting authority, wherever those events happened. The two overlap and neither contains the other: place and power are separate facts, and statewide acts appear there and not here.

CoreCivic staff pepper-sprayed and dispersed protesting detainees at Natchez ICE facility after halting hot food and water, detainee said
On Saturday evening, August 22, 2026, an estimated 80-100 detainees held in two housing pods at CoreCivic's Adams County Correctional Center, an ICE detention facility in Natchez, Mississippi, protested outside the cafeteria after the facility halted hot meals and hot water and served a lunch of two flour tortillas and sliced bologna. CoreCivic's special response team, in riot gear, dispersed the protest soon after; detainee Melvin Funez said the team sprayed some detainees and threw others to the ground before locking the dormitory doors. The facility, which CoreCivic operates under contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was holding roughly 2,500 people in a space designed for 2,300.

Mississippi prison officials revoked tablet access for 34 death row inmates hours after advocacy story published
On August 7, 2026, Mississippi Department of Corrections officials revoked personal tablet access for all 34 men held in Unit 17, the death row unit at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman, within two hours of Mississippi Today publishing a story about the men's advocacy work with the nonprofit Humans Remain. The men said officials cited the unit's restricted status, advocate Liz McCann's use of the devices to contact the men, and the story's publication itself as reasons for the removal; MDOC did not respond to a request for comment on the action or when access might be restored. One month later, the tablets had not been returned.

Justice Department moved to dismiss NAACP's Clean Air Act suit against Musk's xAI, citing national security
The U.S. Department of Justice filed a motion in federal court to intervene and dismiss the NAACP's Clean Air Act citizen lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI Corp., marking the first time the United States has moved to dismiss a citizen enforcement suit against a private defendant under the law. The DOJ's Environment and Natural Resources Division argued that xAI's unpermitted gas turbines in Southaven, Mississippi—powering its Colossus 2 data center near majority-Black neighborhoods—are critical to military AI operations and national security. Environmental law experts and the NAACP's legal team called the intervention unprecedented and warned it would eliminate communities' ability to seek environmental accountability through citizen suits.
