A prominent civil rights attorney is warning that the “rule of law in America” is effectively eroding, following a surge in fatal ICE shootings carried out with apparent impunity.

As outrage grows over the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, prominent civil rights attorney Mark Reichle is sounding the alarm and warning that the killing raises serious constitutional concerns about ICE authority and the use of deadly force.

Reichle, a founding member of the ACLU Sacramento chapter with more than three decades of experience in constitutional and civil rights law, says video evidence shows the woman was acting within her legal rights and posed no lawful justification for lethal force.

He spoke with KPFA’s Lauren Schmitt.

In this clip, legal scholar Geoffrey Corn breaks down why the U.S. action in Venezuela may constitute a violation of international law — and raises urgent constitutional questions at home.

Citing the United Nations Charter and the limits of presidential war powers, Corn explains why many international law scholars reject the administration’s self-defense claims, calling the operation an unlawful use of force against a sovereign nation.

KPFA will continue providing updates and critical analysis as this unfolds.
Listen up. Stay informed.
