Joly was known for leading a violent gang that was involved in the kidnapping of 16 American citizens. The sentencing comes as a significant development in the fight against crime and violence in Haiti. Joly's imprisonment is seen as a step towards justice and accountability for the crimes committed by his gang.

The US Supreme Court is expected to issue decisions today on several high-profile cases that are still pending. These include rulings on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution for his actions related to the 2020 election, whether federally funded hospitals can be required to perform emergency abortions, and a challenge to a doctrine that impacts federal regulations. The court released four decisions yesterday, covering lesser-known criminal justice issues and a tax dispute. President Joe Biden is currently at Camp David with no public events scheduled, likely preparing for an upcoming debate with Trump. Trump's fundraising has increased significantly since his criminal conviction in May, bringing his financial resources closer to those of the Biden campaign. Additionally, a court has denied a request from Trump ally Steve Bannon to delay the start of his prison sentence for contempt of Congress, meaning he must report to prison by July 1st. The Supreme Court has set next Wednesday as the date for releasing more opinions on outstanding cases from the recent term.
