That is not public safety. It is a direct threat to constitutional government.

This killing did not occur in isolation. Independent reporting & data compiled by The Trace show a documented spike in shootings & use-of-force incidents involving fed immigration agents during the Trump admin’s enforcement surges. Less-lethal weapons have been used against protesters and clergy.

But they cautioned that the distinction between a liveborn & stillborn infant can be very difficult to discern. Other than food in the stomach, the authors wrote, there is no diagnostic tool or finding that can “stand alone as the sole determinant of whether an infant was liveborn or stillborn.”

The National Association of Medical Examiners addressed the test as part of a larger position paper released in Oct on investigating perinatal deaths, including stillbirths. A panel of 11 experts said the test has “known pitfalls” & is of “questionable value” & “w/o clearly defined error rates.”
