We seem to have found ourselves in a bit of a pickle. As of April 16th, there have been 147 mass shootings in the United States. Since the start of the trial against former cop Derek Chauvin for the recorded murder of George Floyd, a mere three weeks ago, there have been more than 60 people killed by police officers. More than half of them were Black or of Latin American descent. Without researching the details, I can guarantee that a vast majority, if not all of them involved a gun.

We oppose this theory now, and do not want it to be adopted in cases that the Court hears in full in the future, including this term.
Undocumented immigrants once unsure of their ability to get the COVID-19 vaccine are now replacing fears of exposure to the government with the same motivations that any resident or citizen has in getting protected from the coronavirus.
