“I don’t know how that’s remotely good stewardship or good leadership.” Sheriff officials in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, quietly changed the department’s employee handbook earlier this year to require jail staff to administer CPR on incarcerated people during serious medical emergencies. The change came after a series of in-custody deaths at the jail in which staff failed to provide adequate medical care. But most corrections employees haven’t been told of the change months later, according to their union. More confusing still, jail operation policies don’t require employees to perform CPR on people who can’t breathe.

An analysis of the Renée Good lawsuits. The family and lawyers of the woman killed by an ICE agent in Minnesota earlier this year “seek to use two distinct legal paths to force accountability through the U.S. federal courts, even though doctrines such as qualified and sovereign immunity usually protect federal law enforcement officers and the administration’s top political leaders from facing civil rights lawsuits. The twin lawsuits target both the officer that killed Good and the systemic policies that the lawsuit claims made her death inevitable and near-guaranteed impunity for the officer’s deadly use of force.” American Immigration Council

There is a proven way to reduce homelessness. All that’s missing is the political will. “Denver shows what happens when a city puts into place proven policies with determination and focus. Not only has it dramatically reduced homelessness, it embarrasses every other urban jurisdiction that has failed to deal with its Covid-era surge of homeless encampments. Other cities no longer have an excuse.” The New York Times

There is no “Cornell Seven” loophole to close, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. “If members of the Cornell Seven used force or threats to compel sex, or even just proceeded without Jane Doe’s consent, they committed a crime, regardless of whether she or they were drunk.

The U.S. Supreme Court should take a pending Fourth Amendment case about warrantless phone searches at the border. “The Founders rebelled against customs officers who could search wherever they pleased and read whatever they found. A rule letting border agents scroll through a citizen’s correspondence, photos, and client files without a warrant, or any suspicion at all, revives that power.” Reason
