Footage Shows #Cop #Stalking Woman He Met on a TV Set After #Surveilling Her With a License Plate Reader

Roman told investigators that he saw the woman as a “shiny thing” and knew that using surveillance tools to track her was illegal, according to police records. He told investigators that “I knew that when I put [her into DAVID], I’m like ‘fuck’ and that’s why I stopped right after and nothing else.” But that wasn’t the end of it; he investigated the woman then used a powerful license plate tracking database to find her location and chase her down. In doing so, he also “almost cause[d] a head on collision while passing as a white truck traveling northbound had to veer off the roadway to avoid a collision.”

#ICE agent fatally shot a motorist in #Houston, #Texas Tuesday during an attempt by officers to stop the man's vehicle, according to ICE [so, probably BS].
The man shot to death was identified as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, described by ICE as a Mexican national & "illegal alien" who attempted to evade arrest during a "targeted enforcement operation" by federal immigration officers.

Trump’s Board of Peace plans to grant itself sweeping immunity, documents show
"Draft resolution seeks to shield board members and security forces from potential prosecution for work in Gaza"
"The UN-sanctioned Board of Peace announced by Donald Trump earlier this year to rule Gaza is planning a sweeping grant of legal immunity for itself, according to a draft of the resolution obtained by the Guardian. The draft language would also let the organization obtain public property in Gaza “free of charge”."
“It’s creating a legal system unto itself.”

The #Trump admin has also placed other #ICC officials under #sanctions, including the chief #prosecutor, Karim Khan.
Officials under sanction have faced asset freezes, travel bans & restrictions on services from #US companies.
The new lawsuit argues that the sanctions exceeded Trump’s authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act [ #IEEPA ] because they were not based on a national emergency & they conflict with international & federal #law.
The suit also argues that the #State & #Treasury Depts violated the Administrative Procedure Act, which prohibits decisions that are “arbitrary & capricious.” These #sanctions fall into that category, according to the lawsuit, which argues that the State Dept has not even shown that the #judges fall within the category of people against whom sanctions have been authorized.
#law #InternationalLaw #ICC #Trump #imperialism #authoritarianism #tyranny
Ms. Prost & Ms. Bossa also claim that blocking their US-based bank accounts violated the #FifthAmendment, which requires #DueProcess under #US #law.
“Targeting international judges for carrying out their judicial duties is an unprecedented attack on judicial independence & the rule of law,” said James A. Goldston, executive director of the Open Society Justice Initiative, a rights-focused legal organization that is representing Ms. Prost in the case.
…This challenge, if it works, could build on another case, one involving Francesca Albanese, a #UnitedNations official appointed to report on #HumanRights in the #WestBank & #Gaza.
This year, a #US federal judge temporarily blocked the #Trump admin’s #sanctions against Ms. Albanese for her contributions to the #ICC case against #Israel, though an appeals court later halted the injunction while the case is pending.
#law #InternationalLaw #imperialism #authoritarianism #tyranny
The WH said…that #Trump “lawfully” exercised his powers, & that “the administration will continue to vigorously defend the President’s actions — protecting the national security & foreign policy of our country first & foremost.”
In Feb 2025 the State Dept imposed #sanctions over #ICC’s investigations into actions by Israelis & Americans. Neither #Israel nor the #US are members of the court, which…was established in 2002 to prosecute the most serious international crimes, like genocide.
#law
If successful, the lawsuit could curb the #US government’s ability to use #sanctions to punish #judges for making rulings it disagrees with.
Ms. Prost is joined in the suit by Judge Reine Alapini-Gansou from Benin & Judge Solomy Balungi Bossa from Uganda. A copy of the newly filed complaint was provided to The New York Times by one of the judge's lawyers.
#law #InternationalLaw #ICC #Trump #imperialism #authoritarianism #tyranny
Legally, the cases are different. Ms. Albanese, who only submitted information to the #ICC, challenged the #sanctions against her on #FirstAmendment grounds.
The lawsuit filed on Wednesday is intended, in part, to push back on what the #judges believe is the punitive way in which the #Trump admin is using sanctions.
#law #InternationalLaw #imperialism #authoritarianism #tyranny
Ms. Prost was at home, standing in her kitchen, when the call came informing she was being sanctioned. It wasn’t a complete surprise, given that many of her colleagues had already been sanctioned, she said during an interview….
Within hours, she said, she had received a message from Amazon canceling her accounts. Before long, Google & her banks got in touch. Over the following days, credit cards ceased to work.

The #Trump admin imposed #sanctions last year against Kimberly Prost, a Canadian judge at the #InternationalCriminalCourt. Now, she & 2 other judges are suing Trump & his admin, claiming the penalties exceeded his authority.
The case, filed in the Southern District of New York on Wednesday, is the latest effort to challenge what many experts have described as the Trump admin’s efforts to undermine #InternationalLaw.

#DOJ announces a $1.7B fund to compensate #Trump allies in a deal to drop #IRS suit
The Trump admin on Monday announced the creation a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies of the Republican president who believe they were “mistreated” by the #Biden admin.
The “Anti-Weaponization Fund” was announced by the DOJ as part of a “deal” to “resolve” Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS.
The substance of Trump’s suit stems from the leak of his tax returns to The New York Times in 2019. #Trump, 2 of his sons & his family business argue that the #IRS should have done more to prevent a former contractor from leaking tax information to The Times & ProPublica.
While federal #law allows for people to sue the IRS when their tax information is leaked, legal experts saw clear flaws in Trump’s suit….
#criminal #law #scammer #fraud
#TaxpayersMoney #DOJ #kleptocracy
#Judge Williams had ordered the #DOJ, which has yet to make an appearance or filing in the case, & #Trump’s lawyers to brief her by Wednesday to explain whether they were actually in opposition — or were colluding to achieve a mutually agreeable outcome. [oh, they are definitely colluding]
In their filing on Monday, Trump’s lawyers said their dismissal meant that “no judicial analysis is appropriate” for the suit. [IOW no #oversight.]
The decision to dismiss the suit could also allow #Trump & the #DOJ to avoid a potentially embarrassing ruling from Judge Kathleen M. Williams of the Southern District of Florida finding that Trump’s suit was invalid. #Judge Williams has considered dismissing Trump’s suit because he effectively controls both his personal lawyers bringing the complaint & the government lawyers who are supposed to respond to it.
The move comes after the White House floated a proposal to end the lawsuit in exchange for creating a $1.7 billion fund to compensate supporters of #Trump who felt they had been mistreated by Democratic admins [what?].
The #settlement would be agreed upon by Trump’s private lawyers & the #DOJ [Trump’s other private lawyers] without feedback from the #judge overseeing the case.
Ending his #IRS lawsuit could allow #Trump to pursue a #settlement instead [he’d likely lose the lawsuit, he might get $$ from a settlement].
Trump moved on Monday to dismiss his extraordinary $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS that claimed the tax agency had improperly released some of his financial records [records he had promised to release himself].
