ICE Fatal Shooting in Maine and Trump's IRS Lawsuit Ruling

At 4:09 · chapter starts 2:47

Anchor Jael Snyder reports that the motorist shot dead by ICE officers in Maine early Monday was not the subject of the warrant the officers were serving — a deeply troubling detail confirmed by Maine senator Angus King after he spoke directly with Homeland Security secretary Mark Wayne Mullen. It marks the second fatal shooting involving ICE agents within a single week. Separately, NPR's Ryan Lucas delivers the details of a blistering federal court ruling: US district judge Kathleen Williams, in a 56-page order, found that President Trump's lawsuit against the IRS over his leaked tax returns was brought in bad faith to manipulate the judicial process. The lawsuit had ended with a settlement that created a nearly $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund — since scrapped — and the judge found Trump used the courts to confer legitimacy on that settlement and to earmark billions of taxpayer dollars for grievances not defined in law. One of Trump's attorneys was referred for potential disciplinary action.
