Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
District court order granting defendant's motion to suppress statements made by him to FBI agents while in custody is affirmed where: 1) defendant was entitled to the prophylactic bar prohibiting police questioning when he refused to sign the waiver-of-rights form, and the court did not err in finding that the agents violated this prophylactic bar; and 2) the Supreme Court's ruling in Davis, requiring that a suspect clearly and unambiguously invoke his rights in order to regain them after having waived them, does not apply.
