Tabs3 Brings Hard-to-Find Legal Management Features to the Cloud 

We recently posted a piece about how local Sen. Joan Huffman (R-Houston) has once again lobbied the Texas Legislature during its 2025 session to gut the Michael Morton Act—a 2013 act designed to prevent wrongful convictions—in a manner that would resurrect the kind of prosecutorial misconduct that made Texas one of the nation’s leaders in wrongful convictions secured through such misconduct. Not satisfied with this draconian law-and-order effort (a pro-victim/prosecution effort as she would call it), Huffman has joined forces with Gov. Gregg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, and a cadre of her like-minded Republican colleagues to restrict bail constitutionally. At the opening of the 2025 Legislative session earlier this year, Abbott used his State of State Address to inform the legislature (58 percent of whom are Republicans) that his continued political assault on the constitutional right to bail would be an “emergency item” for lawmakers. Lt. Gov.…

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan pleaded not guilty Thursday in federal court to charges alleging she interfered with federal immigration enforcement by assisting a noncitizen avoiding arrest by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Judge Dugan is facing two federal charges, the first being concealing an individual to prevent arrest, and the second obstruction of justice. The charges stem from an April 18 incident in which she allegedly helped a man identified as Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, who is reportedly in the US without legal status, exit her courtroom through a back door to evade ICE agents waiting in the courthouse. The arraignment took place in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, where Magistrate Judge Stephen Dries scheduled a trial to begin on July 21. Dugan’s attorney, Steven Biskupic, stated the trial is expected to last approximately one week. Federal prosecutors allege that Dugan’s actions constituted active…

[The brief is on behalf of the Cato Institute and myself. ] Venezuelans fleeing the socialist regime of Nicolas Maduro. (NA)  On Friday, the Cato Institute and I filed a Supreme Court amicus brief in Noem v. Doe, a case where the Trump Administration is trying to terminate parole status for over 500,000 legal immigrants from four Latin American nations. The brief is available here. Here's a summary of the brief I prepared for the Cato website: In early 2023, the Department of Homeland Security established a program under which citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela ("CHNV") were eligible to request two years of humanitarian parole into the United States if someone lawfully present in the United States was willing to sponsor them and commit to providing financial and other support. The policy was based on the highly successful Uniting for Ukraine parole program and a more limited parole program for Venezuelan nationals, both of which began in…

This post was written by EFF legal intern Alexa Chavara. Black box technology has no place in the criminal legal system. That’s why we’ve once again filed an amicus brief arguing that the both the defendant and the public have a right to information regarding face recognition technology (FRT) that was used during an investigation to identify a criminal defendant. Back in June 2023, we filed an amicus brief along with Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) in State of New Jersey v. Arteaga. We argued that information regarding the face recognition technology used to identify the defendant should be disclosed due to the fraught process of a face recognition search and the many ways that inaccuracies manifest in the use of the technology. The New Jersey appellate court agreed, holding that state prosecutors must turn over detailed information to the defendant about the FRT used, including how it…
