Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
District court order denying defendant-police officers' motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's claim of excessive force on the basis of qualified immunity is affirmed where: 1) the defendants violated plaintiff's Fourth Amendment right to be free from excessive force when they seized him, as the defendants' actions in forcing a victim with gunshot wounds to lie without a shirt on hot asphalt and causing second-degree burns were not objectively reasonable; and 2) the defendants had fair warning that their alleged conduct was not objectively reasonable, and thus unconstitutional.
