Exceeding capacity. The federal government has increased its immigration detention rate by 20% since January. DHS Secretary Noem confirmed that the administration has bumped up the arrest quota officers need to meet.

“An assault on oversight.” Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Democrat from Maryland, is launching an investigation into the Justice Department’s decision to file assault charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver, a Democrat from New Jersey, and the mayor of Newark. In a relatively unprecedented move, Alina Habba, a former personal attorney for President Donald Trump and the current U.S. attorney for New Jersey, filed the charges against McIver for using her forearms to push back against ICE agents. The move has sparked outrage among people who see the prosecution as a politically motivated effort to punish lawmakers. Critics argue the charges violate long-standing DOJ norms. THE HILL

People who are prisoners at Angola are suffering from heat. “It was the second time in a year that U.S. District Judge Brian Jackson of Louisiana’s Middle District had warned prison officials that they needed to address heat issues at the jail. Last July, Jackson ordered them to fix what he called ‘glaring deficiencies’ in heat-related policies. However, in a stunning act of defiance, Angola officials raised the threshold to trigger a heat alert from 88 degrees to 91 degrees three months after the order.” NOLA.COM

This D.C. jail is dangerous and yet still operating. “The D.C. auditor’s report, written jointly by the Council for Court Excellence, that contains these findings is far from the first time city officials have been warned that the building is unsuitable to house inmates. For more than a decade, advocates have been demanding that the city address the worsening conditions by building a new jail — yet, year after year, the city fails.” THE WASHINGTON POST

The dehumanizing legacy of strip searches. “Strip searches — the procedure that triggered this deadly encounter — represent a form of state-sanctioned violence with deep historical roots in American racial oppression. The practice of forcing people to disrobe and submit to bodily inspection directly echoes the dehumanizing treatment of enslaved people, who were regularly stripped naked and paraded in front of potential buyers.” THE APPEAL

A reckoning for legal betrayal. “Real Housewives” star Erika Jayne’s husband and high-profile lawyer, Tom Girardi, was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for embezzling millions of dollars from his clients. In the 1990s, Girardi represented the residents of a California town in a case against Pacific Gas & Electric for contaminated groundwater, which was then featured in the famous movie, “Erin Brockovich.” THE WASHINGTON POST

A history test for modern gun laws. Since the Supreme Court’s 2022 Bruen decision, judges have been tasked with evaluating firearm regulations based on historical precedents from the 18th and 19th centuries. Bruen essentially states that today’s gun regulations have to have historical analogs and thus, several long-standing gun control measures have been invalidated. This creates a fragmented legal landscape. “Bruen requires courts to compare regulations designed for a time of agrarian communities and muzzle-loading muskets to laws addressing densely populated metropolises and semiautomatic rifles.” THE TRACE
