Americans Against Qualified Immunity

We are Americans from all walks of life working to ensure that if we must follow the law, then government workers must follow the Constitution.

[Americans Against Qualified Immunity @USAgainstQI]

To hold a government official accountable, the victim has to point to a past court decision—by the U.S. Supreme Court or the relevant federal circuit court—that ruled the exact same misconduct, under the same circumstances was unconstitutional.

If no such case exists, even if the right violation was obvious, Qualified Immunity protects the official from being held responsible.

Qualified Immunity was created by the courts and has grown into a powerful barrier to accountability. It can deny justice to victims of government misconduct and weaken constitutional protections for everyone. We are working to change that. Learn more at https://t.co/4ihs2oOuTK!

Meet Amy Hadley.

In 2022, police destroyed Amy’s home while searching for a man who was never there and had no connection to her family. Her family was left traumatized, displaced, and stuck with thousands of dollars in damage.

Now, Amy is fighting back to hold the government accountable for destroying an innocent family’s home.

Meet Ruth Herbel.

Elected to the Marion, Kansas city council in 2019, Ruth fought what she saw as corruption in local government. Her efforts put her in conflict with the mayor and his allies, who repeatedly tried to remove her from office.

In 2023, after a heated city council meeting, the mayor and police chief allegedly used a fabricated investigation to raid Ruth’s home.

Now, Ruth is suing with the Institute for Justice to hold city officials accountable. Her case sends a clear message: government officials cannot use criminal investigations to silence critics.

Qualified immunity is not limited to law enforcement. It plays a major role in whether people can hold government officials accountable in everyday situations, from classrooms to courtrooms.

Can you be arrested for a joke online?

Waylon Bailey was. Police arrested him under a terrorism law, even though the post was clearly meant as humor. The charges were dropped. But when Waylon sued, officers were initially shielded by qualified immunity.

With IJ’s help, an appeal to the 5th Circuit ruled the post was protected by the First Amendment, and a jury later awarded damages.

Online speech is still protected speech. Help us hold officials accountable by singing our petition to end QI: https://t.co/YLrO41Cxvz

Qualified immunity isn’t rare. It shows up in hundreds of cases every year, leaving thousands of opportunities for accountability unrealized.

Yet another @IJ victory over qualified immunity.

If you work for the government and are considering retaliating against someone for his speech, reconsider.

Otherwise, we might have to come for a visit.

When government officials break the law, victims deserve their day in court. Qualified immunity shuts the courthouse doors and denies accountability, even in cases of serious misconduct. Ending qualified immunity is a critical step toward justice.
