The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on October 15, 2024, in two significant cases that could impact legal interpretations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and the Clean Water Act. The first case, Medical Marijuana, Inc. v. Horn, will address whether losing a job qualifies as an injury under the RICO Act, potentially allowing claims tied to personal injuries. The second case, Bouarfa v. Mayorkas, will consider if courts can review visa revocations that are based on legal requirements. These cases come amid concerns from environmentalists regarding the potential weakening of the Clean Water Act's pollutant discharge limits.
