A public-nuisance injunction could focus on specific people or tactics, or sweep more broadly. Such an injunction, moreover, would single out #ICE officers’ #unlawful, #violent acts, as distinct from the lawful performance of official duties. Though certain immunities for federal officials are recognized, it is hard to see why they would apply to a public-nuisance injunction focused on #lawless acts.

It’s not a big leap to see an application here. If fentanyl production or the existence of a Jefferson Davis statue can be legally deemed public nuisances, why can’t a deluge of #violent, #masked, & #armed people flooding the streets of a city, #maiming, #brutalizing, & even #killing along the way? This deluge is perhaps even closer to a classic public nuisance because it involves an activity that impedes the safe & orderly use of public streets.
