The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit recently held that conducting a stop and frisk at gunpoint was reasonable based on officers’ observations of a suspect’s conduct.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth and Sixth Circuits are divided on temporarily halting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from enforcing its arrest and deportation guidance.

Muna Abdulkadir was a witness for the government in a federal sex-trafficking case. In that case, thirty individuals were charged and detained as suspected participants in a sex-trafficking scheme. Of the thirty individuals, only nine were tried, and all were acquitted.

Recently, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit declined to extend Bivens to violations of the Fourth Amendment for excessive force and unreasonable seizure brought against Department of Veterans Affairs police officers.
