"What #CDU minister-president Schulze is calling for amounts to tying citizens’ allowance to compulsory labor—and thus to #forced #labor, which is #unconstitutional. Germany has seen that twice before: under #National-Socialism and in the GDR. Apparently, he wants to pick up where that left off."

TY, @mxtiffanyleigh ! Now we know where #Disappeared #Mainers have been taken!
The records confirm "the worst thoughts that we had about the operation," Mark Fleming, the associate director of federal litigation at the National Immigrant Justice Center, told NPR.
"This is the most brazen #unconstitutional #UseOfForce in an operation that I've seen in my entire career," he said. "They have no legal authority to be addressing purported #squatters; that is not within the purview of the #FederalGovernment."

Sec. of State #ShennaBellows: #DOJ demand for #Minnesota #voter data shows #ICERaids tied to #elections
Lauren McCauley
Mon, January 26, 2026 at 9:02 AM EST
Excerpt: "Bellows, a Democrat running for governor, has twice rejected requests to provide the DOJ with sensitive voter data, including driver’s license numbers, partial social security numbers and full dates of birth, along with names of officials who handle the list’s maintenance, the number of ineligible voters the state identified due to noncitizenship and voter registration applications from specific time periods, among other information.
"The DOJ has argued the data is necessary to assess states’ compliance with the statewide voter registration list maintenance provisions of the #NationalVoterRegistrationAct.
"Maine is now among the states being sued by the federal government over its failure to comply.
"In a motion to dismiss filed last month, the state argued that the lawsuit should be discharged because the DOJ failed to support a valid legal case as to why it is justified to such information, and that its data requests violate federal privacy law.
"The motion also noted voter registration databases contain information about people’s choice of political party and in which elections they chose to vote, which are activities protected by the #FirstAmendment. Bellows and other secretaries of state have also raised concern about the federal government using voter records for citizenship probes.
"In a statement Sunday, Bellows said, '#Maine will never turn over our voter rolls as a ransom payment to get ICE to end its #unconstitutional assault on our state.
" 'Our founders designed a system where states and local governments, not the federal government, oversee elections to safeguard us from exactly this — a #tyrannical, #PowerHungry president trampling on our #ConstitutionalRights,' she wrote."

#ShennaBellows says Trump's call for federal #elections takeover is blatantly #unconstitutional
#MainePublic | By Steve Mistler
Published February 3, 2026
"Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said Tuesday that President Donald Trump's call for a federal takeover of elections is blatantly unconstitutional, but a threat that should be taken seriously given moves his administration has already made.
"Bellows, a Democrat who is also running for governor, says the president's comments on a right-wing podcast about commandeering elections in 15 unnamed states fit a troubling pattern. That includes an effort by the Department of Justice to obtain states' private voter data, which Bellows' office is fighting alongside Oregon in federal court.
"Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon also pushed back after receiving a letter from Attorney General Pam Bondi suggesting the immigration surge there would end if officials complied with the DOJ, a request he described as 'apparent ransom.'
"Bellows said those moves, along with the FBI's recent raid of election offices in #FultonCounty #Georgia, suggest Trump is trying to preempt voter backlash to his policies in coming #elections.
" 'The president fears big losses in the 2026 and 2028 and is trying to set the stage for federal interference in our elections,' she said.
"Under the #Constitution, states govern American elections. But Trump has frequently made unsubstantiated claims that Democrats exploit the decentralized system to rig outcomes."

#SCOTUS tried to address the gap in 1971 in Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, allowing the victim of an #unconstitutional search by #federal agents to sue them. But the court has essentially abandoned that approach, saying instead that #Congress must act if suits against federal ofcls are to be allowed.
[I personally don’t see this SCOTUS dealing with the issue given their stance on expansive #ExecutivePower]

Paul Weiss & 2 other #LawFirms named by the #FTC on Friday — Skadden Arps & Latham & Watkins — reached deals with the White House to void or sidestep such orders, pledging millions of dollars in free #legal work to mutually-supported causes with the #Trump admin.
The FTC's list also includes WilmerHale & Perkins Coie, which filed successful lawsuits challenging Trump's executive orders last year as #unconstitutional.

There's now a #legal #challenge in #Congo to the #Trump #minerals #deal. A group of Congolese #lawyers are alledging that it is #unconstitutional in the #DRC, because it was never presented to #Parliament before signing.
The deal is also a violation of Congolese #sovereignty, and a danger to the #future generations in Congo. The story is not getting enough #media coverage.

CA Legislature moves forward bill to hold federal officers liable for unconstitutional conduct - Local News Matters
https://localnewsmatters.org/2026/01/28/no-kings-act-federal-officers-liability-california-senate/
> Legislation introduced by #BayArea lawmakers that would hold federal officers liable for unconstitutional behavior moved forward in the state The California Senate advanced the #NoKingsAct, a first-of-its-kind bill allowing residents to sue federal officers, including #ICE agents, for #unconstitutional conduct.
The chief federal judge in Minnesota ordered the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear in court on Friday
to explain why he should not be held in contempt
for violating court orders.
The order by Judge Patrick J. Schiltz
— which he acknowledged was “an extraordinary step”
— adds to the administration’s legal fights
while it also faces public and political pressure over the aggressive tactics of its agents,
who have shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in three weeks.
Trump shook up the leadership of the Minnesota enforcement operation on Monday
by planning to pull its director of on-the-ground enforcement,
Gregory Bovino, according to two U.S. officials.
That came after two days of outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti,
who was shot and killed by federal agents over the weekend.
Trump said he was sending #Tom #Homan, his border czar,
to oversee the operations and that Mr. Homan would report directly to him.
⭐️The order by Judge Schiltz, issued late Monday,
summons the ICE acting director
#Todd #Lyons to appear before him on Friday and explain why he should not be held in contempt for violating court orders arising from the Trump administration’s crackdown.
“The court’s patience is at an end,” he wrote.
But the judge did give Mr. Lyons an out:
👉He said he would cancel the hearing if ICE quickly released an immigrant whom he said had been wrongly detained by agents.
The crackdown has prompted a flood of legal challenges,
including from state and local officials
⚠️who asked another federal judge on Monday to declare that the surge of some 3,000 immigration agents had effectively become an #unconstitutional #occupation.
The Trump administration also defended itself on Monday at a hearing over the state’s effort to investigate the death of Mr. Pretti.
The shooting of Mr. Pretti
— who was killed while being pinned down by agents, according to videos of the encounter
— sparked outage across the political spectrum,
including among some Republicans who have called for the Trump administration to change course.
Trump met on Monday with #Kristi #Noem, the homeland security secretary, and #Corey #Lewandowski, her top aide, in the Oval Office for more than two hours,
according to two people briefed on the meeting.
The president did not suggest in the meeting that Ms. Noem and Mr. Lewandowski were at risk of losing their jobs, those people said.
But it was another sign of Trump’s concern about the reaction to the killing of Mr. Pretti and the fatal shooting of another Minneapolis resident, Renee Good, by a federal agent on Jan. 7.

Follow up on #Getty #photojournalist John Abernathy…
He later posted this image of his camera sitting on top of what appears to be a court date notice. The caption is very cryptic, but from the picture I infer his camera survived & he was in fact arrested. No word on whether he had any injuries, though at a minimum I’d expect bruises. An absolutely #unconstitutional #arrest.

“Peaceful observers & protesters turned out again today, they will turn out again tomorrow, & they will continue turning out every day until Operation Metro Surge is over,” the #activists who sought the restraining order wrote to the judge last week. “These Minnesotans who are peacefully exercising their core constitutional rights to speak & gather continue to be met with #unconstitutional & terrifying #violence … And things appear to be getting worse, not better.”

Menendez’ decision Friday came in response to an emergency request from #protesters who sued #ICE in December, claiming that their actions have repeatedly been met with #unconstitutional #arrests & #violence. The protesters last week cited #ReneeGood’s death to push Menendez to expedite her decision.
The judge found that the protesters observed & criticized ICE officers, but “did not forcibly obstruct or impede the agents’ work,” & were otherwise non-violent & non-threatening.
