DOJ Fired Prosecutor, Blocked Assault Charges Against ICE Officer Following Minneapolis Shooting
Let's start out with the obvious (and obviously heartbreaking): this is not related to the multiple times ICE officers have murdered people. Those officers still remain at large and the DOJ and DHS have shown absolutely zero interest in following up on those cases. In fact, when any local agency attempts to do so, they're...

Judge: Losing Your First Amendment Rights Is No Longer “Irreparable” If You Take Almost Three Months To Sue
Here we go again: another case where it's easy to cheer a court ruling against Elon Musk, and unfortunately easy to miss the much more important underlying point — which the judge clearly did. In July, we wrote about how even as awful as Elon Musk is, and as awful as it was that (with...

ICE Officer Hit With Federal Charges After Successfully Dodging Minnesota’s Attempt To Extradite Him On Assault Charges
One of the natural side effects of flooding the zone with hastily hired, poorly trained immigration enforcement officers is an increase in violence and rights violations.

Minnesota Is Trying To Talk Texas Into Extraditing An Arrested ICE Officer To Face Assault Charges
Will anyone ever hold an ICE officer accountable for shooting or killing someone? Maybe, but it won't be anyone from this administration -- one that has actively blocked state investigators from following up on ICE shootings and even pulled FBI agents from ongoing investigations so ICE can forgive itself for its officers actions. While ICE...

Judge To xAI: If This Law Is So Urgent, Why Did You Wait Three Months To Sue?
Last week we wrote about how Elon Musk's xAI had filed a lawsuit to attempt to block Minnesota's anti-nudify app law. As we tried to explain, even if you (reasonably, understandably) dislike both Elon and "nudify" apps, there were real problems with the Minnesota law. In particular, it was not narrowly tailored to just target...

The Worst Person You Know Just Filed A Good First Amendment Lawsuit Against A Very Badly Drafted Nudify App Ban
There's been a bunch of news this week regarding Minnesota's new law that purports to prohibit "nudification" technology, and the fact that xAI has sued to have the law blocked as unconstitutional. A few things need to be said upfront, because it's very, very easy to just say the tech is terrible, that Elon Musk...

Flock Safety's aggressive expansion into the law enforcement market has been coupled with nearly constant negative coverage of its tech and its practices. Multiple cities have paused or cancelled their agreements with Flock following public outcry over the surveillance tech. Flock's willingness to allow law enforcement agencies to search a nationwide network of cameras has...

Access to free courses is a freedom of speech issue
The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that the State of Minnesota is requiring any degree-granting educational institution providing an online course to pay a registration fee: Tricia Grimes, a policy analyst for the state’s Office of Higher Education, said letters had been sent to all postsecondary institutions known to be offering courses in Minnesota. She said she did not know specifically whether letters had been sent to other MOOC providers like edX and Udacity, and officials there did
