They do, but it is "qualified" -- and the level of disregard for the facts is truly appalling. A pattern which appears to go be pernicious, as a several decades former DOJ attorney .... it makes my soul hurt.

Unfortunately it’s going to be a while before we have a DOJ that will do anything about it but enable it.

It’s “qualified.” See the SCOTUS decision of Tanzin v Tanvir from Dec 2020.

Opening the door for damages federal officers. More specifically, oral argument today in Martin v United States. Possible Bivens 4th amendment.

That’s putting a lot of faith in this crooked court. I hope you’re right but I don’t hold my breath

True, but at least the door isn’t completely closed.
