What rights do you have if you’re stopped by ICE on the street? Or if immigration agents come to your home? Can you sue if your rights are violated? Legal experts weigh in.
Sounds like an excellent opportunity to sue them into the ground. A federal officer illegal disregarding your constitutional rights is a payday most can only dream of.
Its almost impossible (especially with this administration) to sue the federal government and win. They have to agree to allow you to sue them before things can even get started.
Actually no, qualified immunity shields them personally. A tortured precedent, if the exact situation has not happened and been sued on it gets thrown out, or some ridiculous thing like that.
Judges are appointed for life; there’s really no reason why they would match lock step with Trumps orders. Yes they’re conservative (not all of them), but I don’t believe they’re going to break the law or compromise their integrity for Trump.
Are you for real? You do know about the federalist society? They groom them from law school, picking the ones less likely to come down with patriotism.
It has not been like you describe since idk when, the 70s really.
The courts are fucked, we cannot sue our way out of this. Scotus will cancel it with any success, if appeals did not first.
They already barred nationwide injunctions. The admin could round up citizens to concentration camps and no judge can now say stop. You can try to sue individually as if irreperable harm would not have haapened by then if you could even get it into court.
Seriously that was a big deal and media did not realize it. Or tell us if they did. Scotus is nazi.

So chill out and lawyer up.

*If you survive. Also you can’t sue the government without their consent.
Land of the free and whatever.
You can sue the individual.

oh gods we’re talking about all different kinds of immunity here it’s not just qualified immunity.
Qualified immunity can be stripped. It’s not absolute. Constitutional violations are absolutely grounds for losing qualified immunity.
In theory or what? Last I heard they were virtually immune. Courts are getting worse, not better too, and judges decide.

And the left didn’t do the exact same thing for their judges? Y’all are all just incorruptible while the right are spawn of Satan or something?..
Thats a naive take considering all the ridiculous rulings coming from SCOTUS, the highest court in the land.
Matter of perspective.

Oh well go, go win the midterms.
