  • 'It looks bad': Trump panics after support for deportations tank in private GOP poll

    Jump

  • I am convinced that polling is completely broken. There's no methodology that works anymore because scam callers have basically destroyed telephones as an information-gathering resource and online polling is very easily compromised.

  • Louisiana Officials Have Indicted a Bay Area Doctor for Prescribing Abortion Pills

  • SRPD responding to the call isn't going to know those are real cops, they will be responding to a home invasion call and discover that the invaders are cops when they are already there and then they will know that they are obligated to stop the crime even if sympathetic to the bad guy.

    And the kidnapping might be successful, sure. But the risk for Cletus here is that SRPD isn't 100% on his side and he and his crew get arrested and take major felony charges. There is a reason this didn't happen in New York. Louisiana is weaponizing the law for two purposes: 1. to discourage doctors from providing health care to women. 2. And to establish standing so they can petition the Supreme Court to ban abortion drugs.

  • Why even bother with an indictment if you are just going to extra-judicially kill them anyway?

  • I did not say that nobody would attempt to target the doctor for violence. I said that the state of Louisiana would not send an assassin to murder the doctor, like in the employ of the state. If we are saying that the right-wing extremist propaganda machine can gin up violence against a perceived enemy then I agree with you.

  • Do y'all not know what an indictment is? Just supposing that the state of Louisiana would send vigilante assassins to another state to kill someone accused of a crime. Please take a check on reality here.

  • The same thing that stops any kidnapper. If your point is "people can do crimes in California" then, yes, people can do crimes in any state.

    EDIT:

    Actually, you know what? Let's game this out, since I get the impression you have a somewhat naive view of how things actually work in the real world.

    Here's what happens: Louisiana fails to extradite the doctor, so Louisiana State Trooper Cletus and his loyal, but not-too-bright cohorts decide they're gonna go to Cali and arrest them sumbitch.

    The thing you have to understand is that the way policing works is mostly, mostly through enforcement of consequences by the state. If a cop tells you that you are under arrest you comply because the state will levy severe penalties on you if you don't.

    So Cletus, et. al. show up in Santa Rosa and go to the doctor's office, because they know that's the safest place to arrest someone. They show up and are stopped at the front desk. The admin isn't going to give them access to the facility because they are not the California cops. The Santa Rosa PD gets called and, if the State Troopers are lucky they are told to get lost, if not they catch charges.

    Ok, so that doesn't work, maybe Cletus and Co decide to go to the doctor's home. They bang on the door in the evening and demand he come with them because he is under arrest in the state of Louisiana. The doctor does not open the door and call the Santa Rosa PD who come and blah, blah blah. Maybe charges. If they are very, very stupid, they kick in the door and try to abduct the doctor, extraordinary rendition style. Maybe they get shot, maybe they get pepper sprayed, maybe the doc is a black belt and whoops their ass. In any case, now they are home invaders and SRPD shows up code 1 because the doctor or his spouse are on the phone with them already. This is serious felony time for Cletus and you can be sure the state will throw the biggest book they can find at him.

    Of course, Cletus and his posse know the consequences for failing here are 10+ years in California penitentiary so they are simply not going to try. Thinking Lousiana cops are going to go to California to cart off some doctor for an indictment is fantasy. If a California judge rules against extradition, the doctor is perfectly safe as long as he stays there.

  • Louisiana police have no authority to do anything in California.

  • Fuming Bondi Loses It at Prosecutors Quitting Over ICE Killing Probe

    Jump

  • Qualified Immunity is a protection against civil suits. Committing crimes never falls under its protections. The current issue is that the Federal Government can use the Supremacy Clause to pull any criminal proceeding into Federal Court by making the argument that Ross was executing his duties as a federal agent, if successful the co-opted DoJ can just spike the case or Trump can pardon the crime.

    The state has to prove to the court that apprehending a US Citizen is not within ICE's jurisdiction so the Supremacy Clause should not apply, this is a largely untested situation so we can probably guess how our current Supreme Court will rule on this.

  • Pair shot by federal officers in Portland had unspecified Tren de Aragua ties, police say • Oregon Capital Chronicle

    Jump

  • The federal government's criteria for being considered a member of Tren de Aragua is 1. being Venezuelan and 2. having any tattoo - despite the gang not using tattoos as an identifying marker. So, I'm gonna need more than "unspecified ties" from the police to consider this anything more than justifying another attempt to murder someone trying to escape the US gestapo.

  • Abolish ICE? DHS Too. It’s Time

    Jump

  • The only purpose of DHS is to repress Americans. The excuse they used to create it (to resolve lack of communication between intelligence services) could have been solved with a minor office in the FBI for a tiny, tiny fraction of the cost. They wanted a tool of repression and so they used a terrorist attack to fund one.

  • Woman killed by ICE agent in Minneapolis was a mother of 3, poet and new to the city

    Jump

  • Shooting the driver of a vehicle doesn't stop the vehicle. There is literally never a reason to kill a driver, especially in a populated area where the vehicle becomes a deadly projectile.

  • Trump and Noem double down on defending ICE agent who killed Minneapolis woman – live
