Seitz’s attorneys said they were disappointed in the ruling and “will continue to seek justice.” “Mr. Seitz and his family, as we have previously stated, are longtime supporters of law enforcement, and remain so, but they expect accountability for the assault and the events that followed,” said attorney Josh Stambaugh.
if you had asked me to predict what the plaintiff's attorney would say in a statement this would have been nowhere in my top 10 or 20 guesses tbh

Plaintiffs continue their outreach and report here on “the number of Plaintiffs who wish to travel independently to a U.S. port of entry or who wish to be flown from a third country to the United States for their court proceedings, understanding that in both scenarios they will be detained upon arrival.” ECF No. 247 at 7. There are nineteen (19) such Plaintiffs as of the date of this filing. Further details are submitted separately under seal, as ordered by the Court.
Incredible.
19 of the 137 Venezuelans whom Trump sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act, & who were swapped back to VZ & then escaped to 3d countries, seek to come back to the US to contest their Tren de Aragua designation—knowing they'll be detained (& God knows what else) by the Trump Admin.

The reps gave the agency a 30-day deadline to respond in writing with concrete solutions.
BOP declined to publicly discuss the letter, saying it will communicate directly with Congress.
Last yr, when oversight officials visited 1 prison they found all housing units well staffed – tho lawmakers said that was a “trick” accomplished by using extreme augmentation and that the bureau tried to mislead oversight officials abtwhat they’d done democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

table showing a high of 718174 augmentation hours in 2025
One way the agency has tried to skirt the problem is by forcing prison nurses, teachers and plumbers to step in and work as corrections officers, an unpopular practice known as “augmentation.”
Last year, BOP staff worked more hours of augmentation than in any other year in the past decade.
That decrease in staffing actually makes life worse for both staff and prisoners. With mandatory OT, staff are sometimes working 4 doubles a week, and prisoners are getting locked down more and have less access to programming.

As part of a monthslong recruiting blitz, ICE has been offering up to 50k signing bonuses and higher pay, luring away officers from prisons across the country - so many that by the end of last year the agency lost a net of 1800 workers. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

Wow, judge is NOT happy. He is dissatisfied with the BOP's lack of information at the last hearing.
”I want the facts and you don’t know them!" he says, adding that it's a "blatant disregard of this court's orders.
Hearing ongoing right now and the government lawyer is responding to the plaintiffs' lawyer, saying that the staff accused of retaliatory actions have been referred to internal affairs.

NEW: The federal prison staffing shortage, exacerbated by corrections officers fleeing to ICE jobs, has contributed to more lockdowns, more violence and less access to recidivism-reducing programs, the lawmakers noted in their letter to the BOP director.
