NEW: U.S. House Rep. Bennie Thompson's "reign of terror" in Mississippi "is over," Gov. Tate Reeves says, urging the ousting of the state's only Black member of Congress through redistricting before the end of 2027.
He made that pronouncement even as he canceled a special session on redistricting.
Mississippi won’t redraw any of its districts this month. The governor canceled the special legislative session to redistrict the state Supreme Court.
