Episode notes
How Deadly-Force Claims Are Evaluated
- Courts judge deadly-force claims by whether a reasonable officer on the scene believed there was an imminent threat, using an objective standard.
- The Supreme Court in Barnes v. Felix requires courts to consider the broader context leading up to the shooting, not just the split-second moment.
New ICE Footage From Minneapolis Encounter
- New ICE cell-phone footage shows Renee Good saying "that's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you" while agents filmed her and ordered her out of the car.
- Within about one second of a perceived impact, shots were fired and an agent is heard saying, "fucking bitch," as the car crashes.
What To Do If ICE Approaches You
- If ICE confronts you, invoke your constitutional rights: remain silent, ask if you are detained, and refuse searches without a warrant.
- Do not get physical, say you don't consent to searches, and ask to speak with an attorney before signing anything.
