Immigrants save lives too
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

In Friday's preliminary injunction — storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... — order and opinion out of Minnesota, this paragraph stuck out to me. For reasons.
![Relying on Molina v. City of St. Louis, 59 F.4th 344 (8th Cir. 2023), Defendants
argue that Plaintiffs' retaliation claims must fail because the First Amendment does not
protect a right to observe law enforcement officers, which it is not inherently expressive
conduct. (See Dkt. 46 at 37-38.) But Molina does not control the outcome here. In Molina,
the defendants appealed from a denial of qualified immunity to individual officers at the
summary-judgment stage. 59 F.4th at 337. Under that framework, which required the plaintiff to establish that defendants had violated a "clearly established" right, the Eighth Circuit held that, in 2015, there was no clearly established First Amendment right to observe the police. Id. at 340. Whether a right was clearly established is a separate inquiry
from whether a right is constitutionally protected. Therefore, the Court disagrees that
Molina forecloses the conclusion that there now exists a First Amendment right to observe
and record law enforcement officers. See id. at 340 n.2 ("It is not beyond the realm of
possibility that a First Amendment right to observe police exists[.]")](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreickh53x6rklandwb3olstk5upm4xalv6e62shgrpc26m7e5nye7ie@jpeg)
