Court will review practice of indefinite detention for undocumented immigrants living in the US

The US supreme court agreed on Thursday to take up a case challenging the Trump administration’s practice of indefinite detention for undocumented immigrants living in the US and awaiting deportation proceedings.

At the center of the immigration case is a dispute over Donald Trump’s reinterpretation of a longstanding policy that has led to a huge surge in the number of migrants held in detention centers.

Maine Wire reporter Joe Sokol appeared to narrowly avoid being run over by an unruly critic in footage captured by the publication on Thursday.

In the video, Sokol was seen talking to a man prior to the incident, with the latter criticizing the reporter for filming outside the Bangor Comprehensive Treatment Center.

"You're invading people's privacy here. Confidentiality, you realize that?" the driver said.

"I'm invading people's privacy? By being in public with a camera? And doing a report?" Sokol responded.

The driver then proceeded to drive away as Sokol continued his report, describing the man as "possibly intoxicated." As he was speaking, Sokol suddenly backed away, apparently avoiding a near collision with what appeared to be the same man's vehicle. Sokol could then be heard reciting the suspect's license plate numbers through the knocked-down camera as the car kept driving.

The Maine Wire also showed additional footage which featured security footage of how close the vehicle approached Sokol, as well as Sokol approaching the center's owner, suggesting the suspect was connected.

"Your patient just tried to run me over," Sokol accused in the footage.

The female owner, however, accused Sokol of attempting to intimidate her and demanded he leave the property.

In a comment to Fox News Digital, Sokol confirmed that he was investigating an addiction clinic and that police were notified and on the scene. Though the suspect was identified, Sokol was not yet sure if he was apprehended. He added that this was far from the first time he faced an attempt on his life.

"I currently have an active death-threat investigation that has sat on the district attorney’s desk for more than a month," Sokol said. "I have been assaulted multiple times; one of those incidents resulted in a charge, which the state dropped last week. Violence and aggression toward Maine Wire reporters is never addressed in Bangor. About three weeks ago, my cameraman, Adam Stade, was nearly attacked by several homeless people in the city. One councilor’s wife — Michael Beck’s — actually asked the police to intervene regarding our coverage (attached). Most of the city council refuses to comment on the subject generally."

The conservative-leaning Maine Wire also released a statement honoring Sokol reacting well under pressure and providing additional detail regarding Sokol's investigation.

"Joe was there to ask questions about a methadone clinic that, according to The Maine Wire’s reporting, has received roughly $25 million in taxpayer funding via Medicaid. This is essentially a taxpayer-funded drug dealing operation at the heart of Bangor, Maine. We will continue to investigate this organization, its enablers, and the employees who appeared to be accessories after the fact rather than Good Samaritans," the statement read.

It continued, "We extend our sincere thanks to the men and women of the Bangor Police Department for their professionalism and compassionate response. We will cooperate fully with their investigation, including providing the vehicle information, the identity of the driver, his social media history, the VIN number on his vehicle, his romantic history, our account of what happened, and our opinion as to what should happen to the driver and the taxpayer-funded methadone slingers who helped him become intoxicated before getting behind the wheel of a vehicle. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Judge William Sullivan's ruling puts Clancy one step closer to a potential retrial.

Massachusetts Judge William Sullivan has denied Lindsay Clancy's motion for a required finding of not guilty.

Sullivan had denied a similar motion when her mistrial was declared on Sept. 4, and denied a renewed attempt Thursday after defense attorney Kevin Reddington argued earlier this week that Plymouth County prosecutors had failed to introduce enough evidence at trial to prove his client guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

"There was evidence introduced, both physical and circumstantial, that would permit a rational trier of fact to find beyond a reasonable doubt the elements of the charge of murder," Sullivan wrote.

He also disagreed with Reddington's argument that the state had failed to prove Clancy could have been criminally responsible for the murders.

"The Commonwealth's theory of criminal responsibility was that when the defendant committed the crime, she did not lack substantial capacity to appreciate the criminality or wrongfulness of her conduct and did not lack the substantial capacity to conform her conduct to the requirements of the law," he continued. "In support of this position, the Commonwealth introduced evidence regarding the nature and methods of the killings and the defendant's actions and demeanor at times surrounding the killings."
