UC Regents settle amputation lawsuit for $11.5 million

"Lisa Wolff, Wayne Wolff’s wife and an emergency room nurse, became concerned about the lack of blood flow to her husband’s leg. According to the complaint, she repeatedly requested that doctors order an ultrasound to evaluate his condition.

The lawsuit alleges that those requests were denied multiple times. At one point, when another physician reportedly approved an ultrasound, the complaint claims that Wang canceled the imaging order. The filing argues that this delay prevented timely intervention that could have saved the limb."

"In addition to allegations of medical negligence, Wolff’s legal team filed a motion for sanctions claiming that key evidence had been destroyed. According to court documents referenced in that motion, video footage of the surgery and internal communications between staff were allegedly not preserved."

We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing
---

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

Here in #Minnesota , we have a Senate election this year.

Between Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, lately seen at a school's anti-ICE patrol; and Representative Angie Craig, who has so far been unapologetic about having supported cops & ICE.

Vote accordingly, fellow Minnesotans.

Last week from Steven Monacelli: James Rodden, the attorney for #ICE which we identified as the operator of a white supremacist account on X, is back on the job in a #Dallas immigration court. https://www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecutor-racist-account-back-at-immigration-court/
