The court handled minor cases on the Las Vegas Strip, routinely imposing year-long bans from the area along with fines & fees. Instead of improving safety, this increased debt, court involvement, & barriers to stability for those already struggling.

In 2024, the FCC unanimously adopted rules capping predatory call rates in prisons & jails, as required by the Martha Wright Reed Just & Reasonable Communications Act. This summer, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr delayed the new caps by 2 years, citing vague “negative, unintended consequences.”
