"I started my day intending to write about the details surrounding SEIU California President David Heurta's assault in June revealed in a motion to dismiss and a motion to compel discovery filed yesterday. And I've been meaning to do a post on what much coverage of the dismissal of the case against Carlitos Ricardo Parias, a TikToker ICE shot on October 21:"
"But when Bowman asked Bovino if he had spoken to Stephen Miller about use of force, the DOJ lawyer, Sarmad Khojasteh, instructed him not to answer. Q All right. How about Mr. Miller, have you spoken with Mr. Miller on the subject of employment of force and the issues of crowd control that you were facing in Operation Midway Blitz? Mr. Khojasteh: Object to form. I'm going to instruct the witness not to answer to the extent that it - doing so would implicate executive privilege. Q Okay. So there has been an invocation of privilege, and you are not answering the quest"
SEIU California President David Heurta's June assault is documented in motions to dismiss and to compel discovery. The DOJ reportedly circumvented due process for Carlitos Ricardo Parias, an October 21 shooting victim, by placing him in a GEO detention facility and denying criminal defense counsel access, impeding accountability. A Department of Homeland Security officer fatally shot an ICE observer in Minneapolis. A broader tracker catalogs multiple people shot by ICE, including a San Diego case where an off-duty ICE officer killed a man who fired his own gun. Deposition testimony shows Greg Bovino denied receiving force-direction from Kristi Noem, while prosecutors invoked executive privilege to block questions about Stephen Miller.
