1:05Now PlayingThe U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday against a former Louisiana inmate who attempted to sue prison officials for shaving off his dreadlocks.
In a 6-3 ruling, the justices found that Damon Landor, a devout Rastafarian, could not sue for money even if his religious rights were violated. Writing for the minority, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned the decision could weaken federal religious protections in prisons.
In a separate case, the court will allow ExxonMobil to sue Cuban state-owned companies over property on the island that was seized under Fidel Castro.
The justices also sided with the Trump administration in an immigration case, strengthening the government's power to deport green card holders accused of crimes.
