Attorney James Quadra, who represents the victim's family in a civil lawsuit, has accused Lau of secretly transferring assets after the crash. Quadra called the judges latest decision outrageous.

"I think home detention, given the lives she took, if he doesn't want to send her to prison then why not home detention when it's felonies? She's pleading no contest to felonies. Again, the judge agreed that this was not a circumstance in which misdemeanors made sense, yet is giving her, basically, a slap on the wrist for killing four people," said Quadra.

ICE agents initially claimed Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the man’s 31-year-old’s brain. ... A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain.

Mondragón entered the U.S. in 2022 with valid immigration documents. Minnesota incorporation filings show he founded a company called Castaneda Construction the following year with an address listed in St. Paul. He appears to have no criminal record.

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol agents illegally smashed through the glass door of a locked auto body shop, without a warrant, to detain the shop owner and an employee, in West Valley City, Utah.

Yes, agents are violating the Constitution all over the country, not just in Minnesota.

In the video, two agents are already standing inside the body shop when the owner’s wife asks them the most basic, constitutionally required question, “Do you have a warrant?” …after they broke in.

They illegally ignore her request and instead tell HER to stay back.

She continues demanding to see a warrant.

And then they say the quiet part out loud: “We don’t need one.”

They absolutely do, which is exactly what she tells them.

They continue ignoring her, after illegally breaking into a locked, private business, while ordering her to back up inside her own workplace.

The agents then begin questioning the shop owner and an employee, despite not knowing their status, and having zero probable cause.

She tells them, “My lawyer is coming, do you want to get sued?”

And the agents laugh.

Sit with that.

Border Patrol agents force entry into a private business, without a warrant, and laugh about accountability.

The agents admit on camera that they broke the glass door to enter the private property.

She says that’s why you had to break in… “Because you don’t have a warrant!”

And the agent says again: “It’s because we don’t need one.”

They detain the shop owner and an employee anyway, after breaking in, without a warrant… despite both men having no criminal records.

This is a blatant Fourth Amendment violation.

A locked business is private property… where a warrant is not optional.

If this is tolerated, it sets the precedent that federal agents can smash their way into ANY business, detain whoever they want, and disappear them.

That is not law enforcement.
That is an open assault on constitutional rights.

@TheJFreakinC @LizzieKFoley Text RESIST to 50409 and it will walk you through writing a fax to your congressperson and senator.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

@YahooCare Can we get a status update on this?

[Arati Kreibich @AratiKreibich]

Things that make you go hmm:
Kim v Hanlon appeals argument:
Court: Is your argument that the office bloc ballot is “unconstitutional”?
Tambussi: Yes…
Court: Doesn’t that mean elections in 49 other states are unconstitutional?
Tambussi: I’m not going to opine on that…
🤔

[Lizzie K. Foley @LizzieKFoley]

So @neal_katyal has decided he'd like to be on the wrong side of history, and embarrassingly so.

Shame on you, @neal_katyal. Defending systemic corruption isn't the cool extreme centrist look you think it is

And you're doing this for Kevin McCabe? LOL

Something incredible just happened. Every NJ county has formally or publicly indicated they will drop their opposition to the court order for fair office block ballots. Camden County Dem Committee is now alone in continuing to appeal. Our team is ready to keep fighting to protect our democracy. Whatever it takes.

@Skogur2 @mdasilva1563 At least in Bergen County, they could not endorse Andy Kim at this point without violating the DCBC’s bylaws.

The broken politics in New Jersey needs to end once and for all. Today I am filing suit and seeking an injunction to stop the corrupt county line system for this June 4 primary and to abolish it permanently going forward. 49 states use fair ballots; it’s time NJ does too. THREAD
