I assume the government is going to argue that the masks are analogous to body armor or some nonsense like that. But it's going to be difficult to show mens rea since masks also protected non-criminals at the protests and aren't associated with criminal activity. But who knows?

There is a muddiness in the law on the issue because it often doesn't matter when a person was actually arrested. Hodari D. contains the modern rule for the seizure of a person. But an arrest is more than just a seizure. Padilla was definitely seized for 4A purposes, FWIW.

One of the first states to try such a law was IL and the test case of its constitutionality was a prosecution of rape victim who was reporting a rape by a cop and recorded police trying to convince her to withdraw her complaint.

It's sad that my first thought was that it's better than "escorted." My expectations are so low.

It's BS - there's no such thing. Several states have passed no-recording-of-police laws. But the last time I checked, everyone was eventually struck down.

PADILLA: "If this is how this admin responds to a senator with a question, if this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, cooks, day laborers in California and the rest of the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

A longer video showing the takedown. You can see that Padilla is submitting to the police, kneeling and raising his hands. But the police insist on pinning and forcefully cuffing him. The video cuts off because someone in law enforcement blocks the camera. bsky.app/profile/mari...

Padilla has every right to be there and has oversight responsibility for Noem's actions. Her statement that DHS is there to liberate the city of LA from Democratic leadership is fascist. Removing Padilla for exercising his lawful duties as a Senator confirms that meaning.

The rays emanating from Trump's head are even more unnecessary and disturbing, like he is Ra, the sun god.

Abrego Garcia's attorneys ask for fines against govt defendants generally and for personal sanctions against—at minimum—DHS acting general counsel Joseph Mazzara, who they say lied in a deposition and who wrote in internal docs quoted by NYT, “We’re also trying to keep [Abrego Garcia] where he is.”

Thomas also says an interpretation of the ADA that broadly bars disability discrimination could exceed Congress' power under the 14th Amendment and even violate the anti-commandeering doctrine. This is just an awful concurrence and it's really alarming that Kavanaugh signed on in full.

Was Navarro ever really in charge with the tariffs? It seemed like that's an instance where Trump decided he wanted to run the country for a while (before he got bored). That's why we got the constant chaos and ever-changing tariffs.
