    Fixed it: "For decades, Aadam Jacobs stole the copywritten performances of artists he supposedly loved. His illegal collection of over 10,000 intellectual property thefts since 1984 features popular artists who never granted him any such rights โ€” and his atrocious crimes are now available on the Internet Archive for you to steal, too."

    Agents fired tear gas in Minneapolis as a crowd gathered around immigration officers questioning a man,
    while to the northwest in St. Cloud hundreds of people protested outside a strip of #Somali-run businesses after #CE officers arrived.
    With the Department of Homeland Security pledging to send ๐Ÿ’ฅmore than 2,000 immigration officers into Minnesota in what Immigration and Customs Enforcement has called its ๐Ÿ’ฅlargest enforcement operation ever,
    the state, joined by Minneapolis and St. Paul, sued the Trump administration Monday to try to halt or limit the surge.

  7. Demonstrator Sues after Being Handcuffed and Detained for Playing the Star Wars โ€œImperial Marchโ€ Theme to Protest National Guard Members in D.C.

    Today, Sam Oโ€™Hara, sued an Ohio National Guard member and four Metropolitan Police Department officers for violating his constitutional rights and D.C. law. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Mr. Oโ€™Hara by the American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia (#ACLU-D.C.)โ€ฆ

  8. Three #labourunions, represented by the #ElectronicFrontierFoundation, #sued the #Trump administration over its #socialmedia #surveillance programme: The lawsuit argues that the programme, which screens visa holdersโ€™ social media posts for hostile or threatening content, violates #FirstAmendment rights and suppresses dissent. The unions claim the programme is an unlawful #surveillanceprogramme that chills speech and infringes on their membersโ€™ rights. nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/ #tech #media #news

  9. #Roblox is being #sued by the state of #Louisiana for allegedly facilitating the #sexualexploitation of #children on its platform. The lawsuit claims Roblox fails to implement basic safety controls and notify parents of potential dangers. Roblox denies the allegations, stating they prioritise child safety and have implemented rigorous safeguards. variety.com/2025/digital/news/ #tech #media #news

  12. For three long years, a group of #police #officers and U.S. #lawmakers who have โญ๏ธ #sued Donald Trump in his private capacity for his conduct on Jan. 6 โญ๏ธhave awaited trial

    The "domino effect" of the ๐Ÿ”ธSupreme Courtโ€™s presidential #immunity #ruling ๐Ÿ”ธnow seems poised to #disrupt the case again and potentially irk a judge who plainly expressed his desire to get the case tried before autumn.

    The consolidated case is ๐ŸŒŸLee v. Trump, ๐ŸŒŸand it is before U.S. District Judge #Amit #Mehta, a former public defender and appointee of former President Barack Obama.

    Law&Crime attended the remote status conference on Tuesday and learned that the parties have continued to engage in several rounds of negotiations over evidence in discovery and that they have also issued subpoenas to entities like the U.S. Secret Service and Metropolitan Police Department for records pertinent to Jan. 6.

    But according to attorneys for the plaintiffs as well as attorneys for Trump, โ™ฆ๏ธneither the Secret Service nor the Metropolitan Police Department โ™ฆ๏ธhave yet responded to subpoenas sent more than five weeks ago.

    Attorneys for the plaintiffs told Mehta that the deadline they put on response for their subpoenas sent earlier this year was June 18.

    A spokesperson for MPD declined to comment on pending litigation and a request for comment to the Secret Service was also declined to Law&Crime on Friday.

    Mehta found this lack of responsiveness curious,
    and on Tuesday he said he would reach out to the D.C. Attorney Generalโ€™s Office to determine whether the subpoenas were #lost in the mail
    or if the Secret Service or the MPDโ€™s custodian of records were being #nonresponsive.

    While concerned, the judge appeared ๐Ÿ”นdetermined to keep moving the civil case down the tracks ๐Ÿ”นand ordered the parties to disclose the names of those individuals they intend to depose or obtain declarations from
    ๐Ÿ’ฅno later than Aug. 23.

    As Law&Crime reported, ๐Ÿ‘‰ it was in April when Mehta set down a Sept. 11 deadline for the parties to complete discovery specific to immunity issues Trump may want to raise.

    โ€œI do want to get to summary judgment briefing this fall and get this done,โ€ Mehta said Tuesday.

    Much of the discovery is publicly sourced material and so far, according to attorneys for the National Archives who attended the status conference,
    โ™ฆ๏ธthe National Archives has produced 1,500 of 4,700 total documents flagged for the matter. โ™ฆ๏ธ

    The records pertain to Trumpโ€™s๐Ÿ”น โ€œStop the Stealโ€ rally at the Ellipse,
    ๐Ÿ”นofficial communication between government officials about that rally,
    ๐Ÿ”นthe logistics for how Trump got to the Ellipse and left,
    ๐Ÿ”นand communications about his speech.

    โœ…No concerns over privilege issues are expected by Trumpโ€™s lawyers or the plaintiffs.

    During the status conference, it was also revealed by federal prosecutors that they have โœ…received roughly 1,650 pages of records from the Interior Department
    so far and that the department is on track to finish this production by Aug. 19.

    Mehta has spent months holding fast to the Sept. 11 deadline,
    but โš ๏ธwith so many competing deadlines in the weeks ahead,
    as Law&Crime explores in every venue where Trump is charged below,
    the federal judge may soon find himself woefully disappointed and, along with the plaintiffs, waiting yet again.

  13. Certification fights are already cropping up in battleground states

    Georgia conservative Julie Adams spread #conspiracies about election workers,
    concocted a baseless story about ballot couriers drinking #beer and doing #drugs while hoarding ballots,
    and boasted of her contentious relationship with local election officials.

    Then, in February, Adams was sworn in as a ๐Ÿ”ธmember of the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections ๐Ÿ”ธin Georgia.
    In one of her first acts, she #sued the rest of the board and the elections director,
    claiming she should not be forced to certify election results โ€œwithout access to all elements of the election materialsโ€.

    The dustup in Fulton County is just one example of the election #certification #fights already cropping up in battleground states,
    from Georgia to Michigan to Nevada this year.
