Radical Supreme Court Guts State Gun Laws & Right to Remain Silent Under Arrest

2022-06-25T00:21:58.099Z

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a century-old New York state law that limited who can carry concealed weapons in public, with Justice Clarence Thomas writing for the 6-3 majority that the statute violated the Second Amendment's right to bear arms. The ruling vastly expands gun rights in the U.S. just weeks after mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, and represents "a revolution in Second Amendment law," says Slate senior writer Mark Joseph Stern. "It declares that any restriction on the right to self-defense is presumptively unconstitutional." In light of the Supreme Court decision, a bipartisan gun violence bill passed by the Senate is "one step forward, two steps back." Stern also discusses a separate ruling in which the court's conservative majority said a person who is arrested and not told of their right to remain silent cannot subsequently sue police for violating their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination — even if statements they give are ultimately used against them at trial. The decision could be setting the stage for the court to overturn the 1966 Miranda v. Arizona precedent altogether, Stern warns.

Despite Today’s Court-Ordered Deadline, More Than 900 Migrant Children Remain Separated from Parents

2018-07-26T23:25:01.774Z

It has been nine weeks since the Trump administration sparked a national crisis by forcibly separating more than 2,500 migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. Today is the deadline federal District Judge Dana Sabraw set to reunite these families. But the process has been chaotic, and the government admits at least 900 children have yet to be reunited, and some 463 separated parents have been deported—even as their children remain in U.S. detention centers. Officials say the parents voluntarily agreed to leave their children behind. In court papers filed Wednesday, the ACLU argued many parents say they were coerced or misled into signing forms they could not read, and were confused about what they were agreeing to. We speak to two immigration lawyers, Ofelia Calderón and Carlos García, who are representing and providing pro bono assistance to parents separated from their children, some of whom have still not been reunited by today’s court-imposed deadline.
