Is there a way to get an injunction against ICE?

[BaronChocula]

The reports of them needlessly injuring people and detaining citizens is screaming for legal action. We know that they're allowing unvetted recruits into training. They aren't passing drug tests or criminal background checks. They're just trying to hit numbers in the ranks and in the process, passing along unqualified applicants and the public suffers. I think I'm going to call my lawmakers tomorrow and ask about this.

1. Not one the utterly corrupt and racist Roberts Court would allow stand.

They care not for legal principles or arguments, just RW power.

3. Quite likely but

that shouldn't stop Americans for fighting from fighting.

2. That's exactly what many lawsuits have been trying to do, with some success.

The problem is that ICE Barbie and her goons are ignoring court orders.

4. I'm wondering if there's a way

to bring a suit in federal court based on the all-around lack of competence rather than individual incidents.

5. No, there has to be a specific act that causes a quantifiable injury.

General incompetence isn't enough to create a justiciable controversy.

7. Well that's more than a pity n/t

6. The Chicago lawsuit against Bovino is the closest so far

On November 6, District Court Judge Sara L. Ellis issued an oral ruling restricting the use of force by federal troops. DHS appealed and the circuit court stayed her order. The case is set to be heard in March.

On November 20, Judge Ellis released her 233-page written opinion, documenting dozens of incidents of unwarranted brutality and calling out DHS officials on the many lies they told in attempting to justify their violence.

The problem is federal officers have qualified immunity and are immune to suits (theoretically). The abuse of force issues need to be addressed and resolved on who has ultimate authority in these cases - local cops or the feds.
