Technically wouldn't ice be considered mandated reporters? If they are, that could actually be a really good way to go after them in court and possibly sidestep qualified immunity claims. You aren't going after them for what they did. You'd be going after them for failing to report the abuses they committed

And when the judge's decision isn't enforced, what do we do?

Just because a judgement may not be enforced does not mean we shouldn't pursue a judgement. Giving up before trying is what the bad guys want you to do. If we have an unenforced judgement we have one more thing we can point at to show how corrupt this government is.

Note i didn't ask what's the point, i asked what do we do!

Arrest them, and shoot them if they resist.

Per Minnesota Law, yes. Law enforcement are mandated reporters. If they are, could that go after QI claims? I'm not a lawyer but hey go for it. First you have to overcome Sovereign Immunity and get them to agree to the suit if i recall and then there has to be no prior case law addressing it. (i worked in a different title so this is not my cup of tea i'm just remembering what the family judge taught me. I could be all wrong).

one doesn’t have to be a physician to conclude that a person can’t get skull fractures on both the right and left sides of their head and from front to back by running themselves into a wall

Hospitals should have a number they can call for an immigration lawyer to come when ICE Apes show up with one of their victims. And cops, as well, who can arrest the pyschopaths who caused the abuse.
