It was so good to hear that in the LA protests
In before “YoU CaN’T SuE ThE GoVeRnMeNt” /s
Applicability of the federal torts act to sovereign immunity is always a good point of discussion.
Federal torts and also “qualified immunity”.
Something else everyone should know about QI
It has literally no legal basis and the 1982 SCOTUS was unknowingly given the wrong text of the law as passed by Congress.
Holy shit, I missed that. That’s a tectonic change if the Supreme Court can actually be bothered to recognize it.
In this case they’re trying to sue the government itself which has sovereign immunity, not qualified. Congress passed a law that allowed some channels past that sovereign immunity but the courts have been very conservative as to how it’s interpreted. That’s the federal torts claims act. One of the key things it doesn’t cover is intentional torts. So if someone though negligence hit you in the mouth and knocked the teeth out, you can sue. If, by contrast, they did it through malice and battery you cannot but you can break through their personal qualified immunity if you could prove malice. Good luck

This is actually a thing called Digiscoping. Search Digiscoping adapters on Amazon and you can attach your cellphone to binoculars. I actually do this as a hobby, that is, doing wildlife photography on a cellphone, which usually requires a telephoto lens. Not to hijack the post but you can see the results on my IG page at theCronicBirder. I have some reels that show the zoom effect. I use a spotting scope instead of binoculars to get a farther reach.
Or maybe start holding some of these large corporations (fruit companies, Home Depot) responsible for encouraging and enabling illegal migrant labor ?
Home Depot doesn’t employ them. It’s just a convenient parking lot to hang out on looking for day jobs.
My ex’s uncle, conservative asshole had a Russian mail order bride and was staunchly against immigrants. However that didn’t stop him from going down to the Home Depot and hiring a couple to do things like clear brush and move hillsides (although karma came around and he was put on some kind of blacklist where they refused to work for him because of the work he had them do)
So there’s a secret gringo list ? Neat . Your uncle sounds like the hypocrisy the current administration represents.
Yes, if they really wanted to stop illegal workers they would hold the employers at fault for the charges. If they were actually worried about theft, and fraud, they would be going after employers and contractors, not the peasantry. This is just a violent display of who is on top, and demonstration of how small you are.
Or just make them legal…
That is the moral thing to do. What I am discussing is that if they are interested in enforcing the law, as it is, they need to go after the businesses illegally employing them. That is not what they are interested in though, this is just a show of power.
Aiming a little low IMO
