Comment on YSK what legal rights you have in encounters with ICE
Abundance114@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoSounds 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.
So chill out and lawyer up.
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.
Oh well go, go win the midterms.
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.
Can’t sue 'em if you’re already in the ground…
True, so don’t do things like obstructing law enforcement and resisting arrest while armed.

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

You can sue the individual.

Actually no, qualified immunity shields them personally. A tortured orecedent, if the exact situation has not happened and been sued on it gets thrown out, or some ridiculous thing like that.

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.
